I have used this CD now for about three months. It is not only very pleasant to listen to, it is also very intelligent. Mary suggests that you not 'try' to sleep, but just relax and pay attention to your body and thoughts. As you do this, you slowly relax more and more until you effortlessly slip into sleep.

Now, when I lay down to sleep, I automatically start to scan my body, readjust my position until I feel comfortable, and observe my thoughts. As I do this, I often fall asleep without the CD.

Highly recommended.

I have been using the Sleep Easy CD for several weeks now. It is very easy to listen to. Mary's voice is quiet and reassuring, and the music with it is also very helpful. At first I didn't think it would help me to sleep, but many times I drop off to sleep before the meditation and music are complete. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who has challenges with going to sleep.

This review is from: Sleep Easy: Guided Meditation for Deep Rest (Audio CD)

This CD is a different approach to sleep, but one that I found very effective. This goes beyond just a relaxing meditation to a deeper process that allows you to change your unconscious patterns that get in the way of sleep. At first, I didn't notice much, but after listening a few more times, my sleep was deeper and more refreshing. Good alternative if other approaches are not working.
