How to do meditation to fight insomnia?

Meditation can be done in three ways:

• RECORDING: meditation is recorded and CD is played before bed.
• MENTALLY: meditation is learned and is performed before falling asleep.
• WITH A GUIDE: in this case can be done with someone who is close and has a soft voice and able to help us to meditate. In this case, the guided meditation can be a great resource for moms who have children with sleeping problems. In this case, the mother can play soft music and write a script and read the meditation for the child, using a soft, cooing voice. Once the mother has practiced narrating the script, she can use her imagination to create her own scripts.

Before going to sleep and begin meditation:

Grab a cup of tea of anise, chamomile, mint, lettuce, passionflower or marjoram, sweetened with a touch of honey and then sleep. Also, fresh apple and plums juices are great to help relax, because they are rich in melatonin, the hormone that helps induce sleep. Remember to have dinner one or two hours before bed.
