3 HOURS of SLEEP MUSIC - Meditation and Sleep music - Spa - Zen Music

Engaging in a relaxing activity such as reading, meditation, yoga, or listening to music, before going to bed, can help you to get a good night sleep. Perform this activity in a dimly lit, stress-free environment. Try to schedule your activity to take place at the same time every day. A regular routine helps to promote quality sleep.

5 minutes of breathing exercises before bedtime will help reduce stress. Take slow, deep breaths, through your nose and deep into your abdomen (rather than your chest). If you are doing this correctly your belly will expand and contract with each breath.

Spicy foods and large meals before bedtime should be avoided, as the resulting stomach activity may reduce sleep quality.

Keep objects that can be associated with stress out of the bedroom, and never use your bed as a place to do work.

Regular exercise can reduce stress, aid relaxation, and improve your sleep, BUT exercise produces stimulants, so avoid strenuos activity just before bedtime.

Listening to relaxing classical music can improve sleep. One of the most relaxing pieces of classical music is Adagio for Strings.

As the release of the highly anticipated movie version of Gone Girl draws closer, those eagerly awaiting the film have a new way to feed their addiction for all things Nick and Amy.

You can now stream the entire Gone Girl soundtrack, composed by director David Fincher's frequent collaborators Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, on NPR's website.

Fincher previously told the Wall Street Journal that the inspiration for the ominous score was the relaxing music he heard while getting his back adjusted at a spa.

"I was listening to that calming, placating music and thought, 'We need to tap into this.' The movie is about the facade of the good neighbor, the good Christian, the good wife," he says. "So the notion was to start with music that's attempting to give you a hug."

Reznor remembers the initial conversation consisting of some creepier motifs: "He said, 'Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors'The way that it artificially tries to make you feel like everything's OK. And then imagine that sound starting to curdle and unravel."

Still, the score features lilting, piano-driven melodies that often evolve into more haunting sounds, featuring more electronic elements.

Reznor and Ross previously created the scores for The Social Network, which won them an Oscar, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which won them a Grammy.

Gone Girl makes its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on Friday and hits theaters one week later, on Oct. 3.

Traditionally, an ashram (Sanskrit/Hindi: ) is a spiritual hermitage or a monastery.[1][2] Additionally, today the term ashram often denotes a locus of Indian cultural activity such as yoga, music study or religious instruction, similar to a studio, yeshiva or dojo.

The word ashram (also as ashrama) comes from the Sanskrit root srama which means "giving the meaning of making an effort towards liberation" (moksha).[3]

An ashram would traditionally, but not necessarily in contemporary times, be located far from human habitation, in forests or mountainous regions, amidst refreshing natural surroundings conducive to spiritual instruction and meditation. The residents of an ashram regularly performed spiritual and physical exercises, such as the various forms of yoga. Other sacrifices and penances, such as yajnas were also performed. Many ashrams also served as gurukuls or residential schools for children under the Guru-shishya tradition.

Ashrams have been a powerful symbol throughout Hindu history and theology. Most Hindu kings, until the Middle Ages, are known to have had a sage who would advise the royal family in spiritual matters, or in times of crisis, who was called the rajguru, which literally translates to royal teacher. A world-weary emperor going to this guru's ashram, and finding solace and tranquility, is a recurring motif in many folktales and legends of ancient India.[citation needed]

Sometimes, the goal of a pilgrimage to the ashram was not tranquility, but instruction in some art, especially warfare. In the Hindu epic Ramayana, the protagonist princes of ancient Ayodhya, Rama and Lakshmana, go to the Rishi Vishvamitra's ashram to protect his yajnas from being defiled by emissary-demons of Ravana. After they prove their mettle, the princes receive martial instruction from the sage, especially in the use of divine weapons, called divyastras (Sanskrit divya: divine + astra: missile weapon; the Sanskrit word astra means missile weapon, such as an arrow, as opposed to shastra, which means a hand-to-hand weapon, such as a mace.) In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna, in his youth, goes to the ashram of Sage Sandipani, to gain knowledge of both intellectual and spiritual matters.

Residential schools especially run in the tribal areas of Maharashtra and elsewhere in India are called Ashram Shala or Ashram schools. One such school is the Lok Biradari Prakalp Ashram Shala.[4][5]

There are also Christian monasteries in India that are called ashrams and are run by the Nasrani Oriental Orthodox churches.

In recent years, a number of ashrams have been established outside of India. Typically, these ashrams are connected to Indian lineages. Sometimes they are headed by Indian spiritual teachers, and other times by Western spiritual teachers.
