Are you looking for a comprehensive collection of bedtime stories for your kids? This might just be what you are looking for. Sleep meditation aims to bring the body and mind to a calm state, which allows a restful and recovering sleep to take place. Routine practice of guided sleep meditation has been found to help those who use it drift much easier to sleep and stay asleep throughout the night, gaining much more rest and recovery from it than they might otherwise.Guided sleep meditation through bedtime stories allows you to put your mind on a very specific thought pattern to stop other things from intervening. On that thought pattern, your child will be directing their mind to stop all those thought processes it had started up, and to put itself in sleep mode. Doing this activates their parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to lower their heart rate, slow down their breathing, and relax them so restful sleep can take its hold on them. As a result of regular meditation, your child should notice some positive results during the day as well. They might find that, from the break they took from thinking about certain issues or problems that they were better able to come back to it with a fresh set of eyes, so to speak and to unravel the issue they had been having. They might find that conflicts or fights they had with classmates or friends suddenly don’t bear as much weight with them because they were able to pull themselves out of it, get a good night’s sleep, and determine that the subject of the argument really didn’t matter all that much. Thanks to the amount of quality sleep that your child will be getting as a result of guided sleep meditations with you each night, they will generally feel much better. Fewer temper tantrums, fewer arguments, a more even temperament, happier moments, and they’ll have an improved demeanor toward going to sleep as they acclimate to the process and as they find that it feels very good to do it each night. Read each story slowly and allow the descriptive words to wash over you. You will be gently lulled into a relaxed state where you can drift off to sleep and dream of ancient philosophers, a delicious French croissant, or beautiful botanical gardens of cities halfway around the world. Allow your imagination to carry you away on a peaceful journey to a good night’s sleep. Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible. Please enjoy!

Use These Hydroponic Gardening Tips And Tricks to build your own Garden efficientlyThis book contains proven steps and strategies on how to grow your own healthy vegetables and fruits.There are few things more fulfilling than eating food you have grown, and yet, each year, many people miss this opportunity simply because they don’t have suitable soil or land to grow their own produce. However, there are ways of getting over this hurdle; thanks to a system of gardening, which does not require the use of soil. A hydroponic system is one such system. Hydroponics refers to a form of gardening that does not use soil. Instead of growing your crops in soil, you grow them in a solution made of nutrients and water. Think about it: plants, just like human beings, need nutrients in order to grow. Soil houses such nutrients. This is why we plant our crops in soil. But as you know, not all soil is created equal. Some types of soil are deficient in nutrients and this result in poor yields. In addition, as stated before, many people do not have access to land in the first place. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to growing their crops.Some amazing benefits of hydroponic gardening include:Faster plant growth– Plants grown in a hydroponic system tend to grow at least 20 percent faster than those grown in soil.Better yields – You can expect 20 t0 25 percent more yield when you adopt hydroponic gardening. Less water - Less water is needed simply because hydroponic systems are enclosed and thus the plants get the water they need instead of such water being distributed to the surrounding environment. Less space – Because the plants have easier access to nutrients when they are grown in a hydroponic system, they do not need to grow deep roots or spread them widely in search of nutrients. Thus, you will be able to grow your plants more closely and thus grow more plants in a smaller space. More freedom to grow your crops– The best thing about hydroponic gardening is that it gives more people the opportunity to grow plants regardless of where they live. You can easily grow crops indoors even if you live in an apartment. No need of soil – With hydroponic gardening, you don’t use soil. Instead, you use what is known as grow medium to house or hold the plants. This is less messy and easier to control than soil. Before you can enjoy the above amazing benefits of opting for hydroponics to grow fruits and vegetables, you will first need to learn how to grow plants using this step. The first thing you need to do is to select a hydroponic system that will allow you to comfortably grow your vegetables and fruits.Here is A Preview Of What You Will Learn....
