The first CD deals with overcoming the different types of life-stress which can lead to insomnia or sleeping difficulties.

The second CD guides the listener into the sleep state. Introducing his unique muscle relaxation technique, Dr Farmer's calming voice guides the listener into a deep, restful, letting-go of muscle tension.

With insomnia we can be really tired but lie awake for hours. Or we might wake up in the middle of the night unable to sleep again.

Dr. Farmer helps you explore and then resolve some major life stress factors that can feed insomnia. To guide you into sleep he uses a progressive relaxation method where the word 'sleep' becomes an auto-hypnotic cue-word for letting go into deep sleep.

"Most of the leading medical authorities say that sleep medications provide only occasional relief, and often make the problem worse....".

"The more you relax in everyday situations, the easier it will be to relax in readiness for sleep at night....."

"First of all I want you to tense your whole body.......now let go......keep letting go......".

"Don't try to sleep, just say the word 'sleep' every time you breathe out....."

"Imagine you can feel the tension leaving your right arm, each time you breathe out and say 'sleep'..........there's no hurry........don't try to sleep.......just listen to my voice....."

                 
  Difficulty going to sleep           Sleeping then waking too early

Stories of those helped by this recording:

A middle-aged woman was so worried about her child's increasingly bad behaviour that she couldn't sleep. Listening to the CDs, she found that after several good nights' sleep she could now see what had to change in their relationship.

Caught up in business concerns, a 28 year-old man developed severe insomnia. After his first night with the CDs he was always asleep before the first ten minutes of Dr. Farmer's sleep-inducing voice.

Testimonial:

"Many thanks for your CDs for insomnia.
I have to tell you I have had a wonderful night's sleep last night, listening to your voice, and I have every confidence of many more to follow."

"Dear Ron and Sue,
Thanks very much for the permission to make up to 10 copies of the CDs - it means it is much easier for me to justify the expenditure (we are a small non-profit organisation), and consequently to be able to purchase more of your CDs from my next year's budget.

On a personal note I have been using your insomnia CD myself, and despite having been a yoga teacher and practitioner (as well as a counsellor) for 30 years, have still had a struggle over the years with my sleep. Your CD has been a godsend, and I tell everyone about it. The genuine calm and compassion in Ron's voice is the thing.

Thank you and with my love"

"Dear Ron,
I have been using your CDs ever since a friend gave them to me about four years ago while I was going through a difficult time. I have since given them away and would like to have a new set as I miss listening to them when I need a bit of help or just to refresh my thoughts. I like to use them when I go to bed at night and I play them over and over again, until my mind is saturated with the new way of thinking. Thank you very much for making these CDs. With their help, Alanon and a dear friend, life is a whole lot better now. I have a new perspective on life.

Kind regards"
