Guided Meditation & Hypnotherapy Audios
Good news for kiddies. We've been hearing a lot from parents about their children not sleeping very well at night these days. It's no real surprise, their routine has been thrown out, their parents are now their teachers, they can't see their friends or go out and do anything fun. Their little minds must be so confused and out of kilter. So we'd like to offer our Better Sleep (and better dreams) audio for children free of charge. All you have to do is go to http://www.houseofwellbeingdownloads.com/ find the audio, pop it in your cart and on check out put in the code 'Sleep Well' and you can purchase it for free.
