For those of you who haven't tried the sleep-aid / relaxation
tools on the soundsleeping.com website, this article will
describe the tools and give advice on how to use them. For those
who have used the tools already, the following tips may help you
to use them more successfully.
The two Sleep Aid/Relaxation Tools can be found at:
www.soundsleeping.com -
Drumming tool
AND
www.soundsleeping.com/vibes.htm
l - Vibraphone tool
These tools allow you to mix nature sounds with drumming or
vibraphone music to create your own relaxing ambience. You are
able to control the volume of each sound, enabling you to
fine-tune the music to suit your own unique tastes. I'd like to
share with you my method of finding effective mixes.
Turn up each sound on the tool to it's highest volume (100).
Very few people will enjoy the result of this mix. Concentrate
on the feelings the music evokes, trying to find the sound that
is working the least for you. Once you have found that sound,
reduce the volume until it no longer bothers you (this may be a
volume of 0). Continue doing this until all disquieting sounds
have been either removed altogether or reduced to a comforting
level.
Your "ultimate mix" may change from day to day, depending on
your mood. To help me relax, I usually have thunder as my
highest level (100), ocean (65), a light rain (26), and faint
wind chimes (13). This mix makes me feel as though I am
vacationing, and because of the inclement weather, I have no
choice but to stay inside and relax. For me, this creates a very
peaceful and calming atmosphere.
Experiment on your own. If you've found your own methods of
using the tool, please share them with us all.
