Hi again Sunny, Rita & Samantha. The visualization technique does work well for me. I find it works especially well when combined with those relaxation music CD's of forest sounds, rain falling, waves rolling, etc. You might have to sample a few to find a couple you really find relaxing and complements the pleasant quiet place Sunny refers too. Even listening to them in the background while reading a book really settles my mind down enough to sleep. At first I thought they were kind of weird, but they actually seem to work. My massage therapist always plays them softly too and says it helps people to relax. Just another idea you might consider. Give massage therapy a try too - you don't know how relaxing it is until you try it. Your health plan may even cover it.
