Hi Rachel, my yoga cassette is called iRest for Restorative Practices. The author/ narrator has a wonderfully soothing voice and it is mainly him talking and telling you what to do and why, breathing , etc. the other cassette is called the Power of Intention and it is mainly talking,too and it is very good. Both can probably be borrowed from a library. I find so much good stuff also from the online library through “ Libby”. Lots of funny books to hear and they are often my mind control in getting sleep. I do not have Alexa but it sounds like something I might invest in a bit later.I agree with you about the laughter and I love funny movies. Amazon Prime furnishes me with a lot of good movies and tv series. Also documentaries are good to distract me while I am learning something new., which is helping my brain. I feel my brain gets so preoccupied sometimes with all my health conditions that I need to look for positive normal experiences. Thanks so much for helping me learn more ways to distract my brain. — eirrol

The online library is a fantastic idea. I find Netflix series and sports to be positive distractions. So true about seeking positive, normal experiences. It's easy to become consumed by our pain which is not healthy for our brain. Reminding ourselves that we are still human with interests and needs and are not defined by our pain alone is a very powerful self-advocating tool.
