For most of human history storytelling helped people to share knowledge and wisdom while inspiring change and creativity. Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of verbal hypnosis. Stories stimulate and access the dreaming brain allowing people to update their neurology with new learning to change thinking, behaviours and responses to life events. Somewhere along the way storytelling became associated with children, it was seen as odd if you were an adult who said you liked listening to stories. This has now started to change, adults listening to stories and reading bedtime stories is on the rise. Dan Jones has over 20 years experience using storytelling as a form of therapy and to help people sleep, he also has a successful YouTube channel 'Dan Jones Hypnosis' with over 100 hypnotic healing bedtime stories for adults and over 20 sleep stories for children.

If you have ever had trouble sleeping for more than one night, then you have to keep reading... The mind is a doorway, a doorway to a thousand realities. Think of each reality of the mind as a room. If you do so, you will come into the truth that a man can be trapped in his mind. The study of a man's psychology has always considered the mind as having more phases, or more streams if you will, than what we know as the conscious phase or stream. Knowing this, we get into a deeper understanding of the mind, how it could control us, and how we, in turn, could get the reins of control. This is just what happens when you lose your sleep. A part of your mind, your worries, is trying to get the better side of your rest and useful sleep time. You don't know it, so you cannot fight it. But guess what the case would be when you finally get in control? You will simply see yourself walking through that doorway of your mind again; this time, it will be with an understanding of the different realities that there are. You will see yourself in the place of choosing what reality you want to be a part of, at your time of sleep. You will choose it; you will rest in that reality. This is your origin of achieving inner peace. You would rest from inside out. With your mind in its calm, sleep becomes your slave. This book covers: Helen's Quest The secret cabin The Danish King The Lost Woods Returning to Earth And Many More! With an apt understanding of the unconscious stream of the mind, and how it bullies the conscious stream, thereby depriving you of sleep, Bedtime stories for adults have been put together. Not out of skepticism, but with the ideal understanding of how these things work. In turn, stories have been put together that will allow you to observe your mind in all its state, access your inner calm and walk out of insomnia without any drug. The time to start with this journey is now, and there should be no delay. In most cases, there are objections to try other methods of rectifying insomnia. People want to go for the pharmaceutical methods, whereby they would have various drugs, and just get over with it. Like you might know of antibiotics, and some other forms of drugs, our bodies get resistant or rather familiar with them. What do you do, when you have finally gotten unresponsive or resistant to that treatment you had adopted? At this point, things become even harder than they had been, earlier. Checking from the experiences of those who have been in these shoes before, you can be sure you do not want to be in these shoes. Hence, you must go for a more permanent and promising option. Unlike the body, the mind does not gain resistance to the main cure. Don't wait anymore, click BUY NOW button!
