I've had it for years but i just checked and it's still available. Steven Halprin's Higher Ground. I googled him and he's got lots of other stuff now so I may get one of the healing cds. I think I've had Higher Ground since Hannah was small and she's 17 now!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947681055574897580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985807875365863186.post-44544555616255745342010-01-01T21:32:33.096-08:002010-01-01T21:32:33.096-08:00Hi Sue, I really feel for you as i have an ongoing...Hi Sue, I really feel for you as i have an ongoing problem with lack of sleep (ever since I got CFS). Its sort of getting under control at the moment as the anti-depressants I'm using seem to help. Apparently my serotonin levels need replacing due to years of sleeplessness. I have to say I better understand why you get so much craft done as I did too during my worse patches. Craft was the only thing that kept me sane, but I never really coped well with it.<br />I wish I could help.<br />Hugs,<br />SharonSharon (Stitches on Mars)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06362923463315689802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985807875365863186.post-31233116267490079302010-01-01T19:10:10.430-08:002010-01-01T19:10:10.430-08:00It is so hard to function without sleep - I have a...It is so hard to function without sleep - I have a neck injury and find it difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep. I recently purchased the whole range of the Body Shop's "Deep Sleep" Range. There is a shower gel, a body moisturiser and a spray for your pillows and bed linen which you spray as you are going to bed. I have a really hot shower and use the gel then I rub in the cream and use the spray and it has been helping - I am not sure for how long but it is made from essential oils and has a really relaxing effect. Good Luck with it.<br /><br />HUGS XXX FionaFeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350428872392827496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985807875365863186.post-22300101475492117222010-01-01T13:06:50.010-08:002010-01-01T13:06:50.010-08:00Hi Sue,

I do crossword puzzles most of all. I drink warm milk and I turn off the tv early so my mind has time to slow down. I listen to a couple of different cds but Ray Lynch seems to have music that pulls my mind away from too much thinking. I have accepted it in many ways and I read alot while everyone is sleeping and I've taken to lying down for cat naps. I have honestly done this at work because I work on my own alot so it's not a problem but at home everyone knows if I am asleep leave me alone since it doesn't last long. I'm going to check back here to see what ideas you get!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947681055574897580noreply@blogger.com
