Try a little Rachmaninoff for relaxation

Sergei Rachmaninoff for relaxation just fits the bill; Sergei Rachmaninoff was a Russian pianist, composer and conductor, one of the few greats of the Romantic style of European classical music. Sergei Rachmaninoff is regarded as an influential pianist of the 20th century. He was technically amazing and had a rhythmic drive.
Also known for his large hands which gave him an advantage as he could cover the interval of the thirteenth on the keyboard, His hand span was said to be around 12 inches and he stood at towering 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm) tall.
That is not where is abilities ended, he could listen to complex compositions and play them right back after hearing them for the first time.
Sergei Rachmaninoff for relaxation can be found in many music stores his influence is still evident today. During his childhood after a turn in the family fortunes Rachmaninoff' family moved to Moscow where he studied under Nikolay Zverev a great teacher of his time, while still a student Rachmaninoff wrote an act opera Aleko, and a set of piano pieces, Op.3, this contains a Prelude in C sharp minor, Widely known for being one of his greatest pieces for solo piano. This is a great piece of work and you can find it on youtube, it may sound similar to something you may have heard before. However you will understand why Rachmaninoff for relaxation is so great and it is evident he is capturing a large array of notes very quick as the piece moves all over the keyboard from slow and rhythmic to fast and sharp in tone, however this piece always has a tone of subtlety to it which is soothing and makes Rachmaninoff for relaxation very good.

During 1921 and onwards Rachmaninoff made his recordings for Edison records label on their "diamond Discs" records. However Rachmaninoff had confidence issues with his work and did not consider himself very good, so he asked to have his approval before any of his work was sold through a commercial outlet. Edison records ignored him and mass produced his records, Rachmaninoff moved to victor talking Machine Company which gladly worked to his standards and his popularity grew.

Rachmaninoff gained popularity in US and was warmly welcomed, his best work considered the best of his work by many was a Theme of Paganini and it was written in the United States in 1934.
Rachmaninoff died in 1943 in Beverly Hills, California; He had completed four piano concertos, two piano sonatas, three symphonies and many other great pieces of work.

Relaxation lifestyle, noone wants to be stressed

When I think of how I could live a relaxation lifestyle, I used to think that I have to do certain things everyday and be totally disciplined about it and that would change my habits and nature. An example would be half an hour meditation everyday, I did this for three months everyday but now I do it 3-6 times a week and look forward to it. If preparing for meditation was stressful and looking at my watch thinking "oh no I missed it today" that is really counter productive and more of a stressful life style. The one thing that makes a person live a relaxation lifestyle is being themselves and a free spirit, in
today’s society, always keeping up appearances and keeping up with your neighbors and over all competitiveness changes your mentality and makes it hard to relax. Competitiveness is good but at an extreme rate makes people jealous and envious etc. The first and most important thing is knowing yourself, be at peace with your self, if you have a troubled background or stressful life, its still possible to change, nothing is impossible.
I highly recommend you look up meditation an important addition to a relaxation lifestyle, socialize more, we always need human contact and meeting new people and making friends will give you confidence and lastly eat and sleep well.
You may have heard all this before but do you practice it, to change any habit it takes at least 21 days. A relaxation lifestyle is more a process than anything else. Always use aids, I really really wanted self discipline which has changed my self, having always completed tasks without having to handle inner resistance is the key to a relaxation lifestyle (without discipline I wouldn’t be able to make consistent posts on this blog). Give this book a go and practice the principles it can change your life, I use it and give it 10 out of 10:
With Winning in Mind: The Mental Management System by Lanny R. Bassham

Unusual relaxation stuff

Some good relaxation stuff I have come across, this is basically stuff that can help someone relax. Starting of with a new line of health products which are based around having power naps, in the US around 65% of children and adults are constantly sleep deprived. These products help you sleep for 20 minuets which believe it or not can make a huge difference help you become productive and energized. They come in CD packs which you listen to and they help you drift of. Basically these are powernap aids to help you lock in those 20 minuets which sometimes can make a huge difference.
Other relaxation stuff is meditation chairs, many people after a long meditation session feel their legs, back or buttocks are sore, so these make a difference, they support the spine which improves posture, this way you can avoid strain which over time can become long term pain. Apart from that these chairs are good if you are sitting on the ground, reading a book, or outside on the grass in a park.
This last one doesn’t fall directly under relaxation stuff but it is something that is available for your home, relaxation tanks or flotation tanks can bring the kind of relaxation that is unbelievable. With most relaxation tanks you would have to go to a spa or fitness center but now they are available for your home the price is steep costing around $10000 but if you are into it like most people are into saunas you will save huge amounts. At the lower end you can find Open Top Float Tanks which can be picked up around $8000 or maybe less. Anyway that is some relaxation stuff but if I find any other relaxation stuff I will definitely bring it up.

Dream relaxation, controlling your dreams

For a good night sleep and dream relaxation a certain amount of preparation is needed, it has taken me time to find out what conditions get me to sleep quicker. Firstly if you are not totally warmed up you will stay awake even if you are not cold so tuck in. Also avoid tea or coffee before bedtime, it is hard if you like the taste or are addicted to it but drinking it a few hours earlier can help.
If falling asleep is still hard then certain aids are available, Passionflower for example is calming and sleep inducing. It is used for insomnia; it relieves cramps and nerve pain as well, taking a few drops as instructed 40-50 minuets before sleep can slowly calm you down and provide a state of dream relaxation.
While you in a state of dreaming you could be affected by a movie you watched, what you ate and even down to how you were feeling before going to sleep, waking up with a nightmare is not really a relaxing experience. Dream relaxation is when you are not totally at the will of your dreams, you may have heard of lucid dreaming and dream recall. Through the techniques of lucid dreaming you can instead of hoping to change a dream (like a reoccurring nightmare) you could control your own behavior, this is done by first realizing you are actually dreaming then being active in your dreams, this is also making use of the hours that you didn’t think you could use. With practice you would change your attitude if you have a nightmare, when you realize you can not sustain any bodily harm you will have better sleep and have dream relaxation. Your nightmare could be transformed to a serene dream. Some people with a growing percentage have such nightmares that they avoid going to sleep, this can help them. However this is one route to dream relaxation there are more reasons such as if you are relaxed in your hours of sleep it will definitely affect your waking hours and your behavior there.
I found a brilliant site for lucid dreaming and dream relaxation; it has a lot of very good information:

Stress management relaxation technique?

This is something I looked for a very long time, a good stress management relaxation technique. I didn’t pay attention to the word management, I wanted to try something for a week and it would be over. The best way I can explain this and understand it myself is through an example I made up. You are born with a body it is not made to just lay around if you lay about your whole life, eat anything, just let time take its toll then you will look terrible in your 40’s or 50’s. If you decide to instead exercise everyday, eat the right food, sleep properly and keep active, it’s obvious you will look good in your later years.
Same goes for you mind if you let it go it will do whatever it wants, build comfort zones, certain habits and patterns. To change this a stress management relaxation technique is needed and it takes time to reverse anything that happens. To turn fat to muscle takes time and so does being anxious to confident.
For a stress management relaxation technique I could not find a method that could be used once or for a few weeks it would have to be used over time that is the only way it would be beneficial.
I have tried and highly recommend relaxation tanks, progressive muscular relaxation and mediation. Once you agree with your self and your subconscious that a stress management relaxation technique is not simply a technique but a systematic process that will slowly help you improve, then you can look at a method use it over a long time and it is guaranteed to work. If you see something advertised and buy it then see something else and by it but never use it, you have then become a collector. If you wants a hands of approach i recommend self hypnosis, and not any you see on google, it is best to research find a reputable company I highly recommend two because of their body of work, professionalism and customer feedback: hypnosisdirect.com and hypnosisdownloads.com. Lastly a gem I found and used www.hypnosisaudiocds.com

The need for relaxation adult diapers.

This is no laughing matter but a serious issue; many people require relaxation adult diapers. An example would be when a mother has given birth to a baby she is in a fragile state. At this time anything could affect her, laughing, crying and sneezing could make here wet herself this is known as stress incontinence and is common after childbirth. Also to speed recovery pelvic floor exercises are known to help, take a look at these sites:
http://www.tena.co.uk/Women/
www.corewellness.co.uk
Also if at home toweling nappies and plastic pants can provide more relief and they provide extra absorption like the ones babies wear.
Apart from that this effect many are embarrassed to even ask for information about relaxation adult diapers, weak bladder problems can affect people any time during there life, many young children up to the age of 14 are affected as well as senior citizens and there have been cases of those affected after a traumatic event, Of course it is worrying but it is best to quickly find a solution and carry on.
The kind to look for if you need one would be:
Brands that have Anti-bacterial absorbent material, this will avoid bacterial infection.
This can also clean up odor; an infection would man another problem.
A safe adhesive fastening, this will keep the diaper comfortable and avoid it from falling off.
A comfortable material that makes it feels almost non existent such as cotton with a double inner layer surface. There are many companies selling relaxation adult diapers, basically adult diapers which are relaxing to where, first research them, then contact them, ask questions, if they are genuine they might have heard of your problem and can give you information, if they say “buy a pack of 10 and get one free” then they are sales people.
