About this listen
When we lose a much loved dog it is like losing a best friend or a member of our family. It can be heart-breaking. Life may seem like it will never be the same again. There could be a hole in our hearts that can't be filled and you may find it difficult to sleep. Your beloved dog made you feel loved and secure, and now you could feel lost.
Losing your four-legged best friend is no trivial matter. The death can't be brushed aside with life carrying on as if nothing had happened. Time is needed to heal. Learning to relax with sufficient, quality sleep at night is an important part of recovering.
It can be a great shock when your dog is no longer around. My audiobook will allow you to take a step back from the void, to relax, and spend some happy times with your dog using your own personal memories.
I will be taking you to a safe place in your mind where you will be able to reconnect. Then, by using my personal relaxation technique, you will be able to drift into a peaceful sleep. After a good night's rest you should be able to cope and manage the loss when you are awake.
Being able to help yourself with the grief is a vital part of healing, but this audiobook is only a supplement treatment. I strongly recommend that, as well as using this audiobook, you should talk to your loved ones, or a doctor, about your loss. Do not be afraid to talk about your grief; remembering the good times, as well as the not so good, are all part of the healing process.
You are not alone. I made this audiobook for my daughter, Emily, and myself after the death of our beloved Springer Spaniel, Mandy. I am a level two Reiki Healer and have directed positive energy into my words.
I hope that you will be able to take comfort in my words and find peace to live your life to the fullest, while still being able to keep your precious memories of your dog alive in your heart.

Do you want your child to learn fundamental mindfulness skills that allow them to be resilient, deal with stress in a healthy way, and truly thrive? Mindfulness gives kids a toolkit to help them engage more fully with themselves and the world. Sadly, most of the mindfulness literature available is geared toward adults. Asking a child to sit still and “be mindful” or “concentrate on their breath” for 20 minutes doesn't work. The activities and meditations in this bundle were professionally designed and recorded to teach mindfulness skills to kids in a fun, engaging way.

Life is very stressful for everybody, and I found in meditations a bit of "safe space," that's how I call it. Anytime I can, I like to listen to my guided meditations, relax and fly away to a different world full of peace and relaxation. In the past three years, meditations was a big part of my life and helped me a lot in many situations....I love to read a story to them every night, but sometimes this is not possible. That's the reason why I started to collaborate with some guided meditation professionals to create five stories that I could play at home for my kids.

Say goodbye to sleepless nights - these effective sleep meditation stories are the key to lulling your toddler into a deep slumber.

If you’ve tried everything under the sun (and moon), why not give it a shot? The success might just surprise you!

Story
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and complex, unforgettable characters.

Story
This book is based on the true life of Henry Stuart. When the 67-year-old former professor finds out he is dying of tuberculosis, he vows to “learn in solitude how to save myself.” He sets off for Fairhope, Alabama, with only the writings of his beloved Tolstoy for company. There, the barefoot poet builds himself a small hut and slowly becomes an inspiration for the rest of the utopian town. When his last few months become his last few years, Henry’s attempt to understand death becomes a lesson on life.
