In your spirit, walk along the Camino de Santiago. El Camino is a web of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and joining together at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The network of hikes along El Camino is similar to a river system with small brooks joining together to make streams and the streams joining together to form rivers. During the middle ages, people would walk out of their front doors and start their pilgrimage to Santiago, which is how all the paths began. Many people still walk the trails today.

Frida Kahlo's life was challenging. She was born with polio which left one leg smaller than the other. Frida miraculously survived a horrific bus accident that almost killed her as a young adult. She recovered but spent the rest of her life crippled, with chronic pain, and unable to have children. If that wasn't enough, she also suffered from bouts of depression. However, she overcame her challenges, lived her life to the full, and created incredible art. During the guided visualization, imagine Frida's house, garden, another time in the past, and possibly have a cup of tea with her.Your Sleep Guru™ is available for free on Google Play and the Apple App. Store. www.yoursleepguru.com.

Sleep and relaxation are essential, wouldn't you agree? Putting a little time aside to experience a guided visualization can help you have an afternoon power nap or a restorative night's sleep.
Guided imagery is a method that helps with relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety. These recordings allow you to visualize yourself in various peaceful natural environments away from everyday worries or concerns. Oneness with nature is also calming and powerful because nature provides excellent stress relief, allowing you to detach further from things that create stress or pain in the first place. As you become absorbed in the details of the landscape and the nature described in each episode, your state of relaxation will deepen.
Poor sleep is linked to depression, lack of concentration, an impaired immune system and weight gain, to name but a few things. That's why sleep is so important. So find a comfortable place, close your eyes; you are going on an imaginary retreat where you can find relaxation and sleep!
