Introducing the latest member of the Easy World family, Relax Into Easy World! 
I have been super busy, creating new Easy World tools to help you get to and stay in Easy World, and this is the first one finished. I learned some valuable Easy World lessons along the way (I guess that was a given!). I felt so out of control of this and that really threw me off kilter, creating some doubt that it would turn out to be all that I hoped it would be. For example, while writing the script for it, I kept on going into such a deep trance, I could never write more than a few lines before being unable to continue! I just couldn't seem to get a grip on it. When you go to the place beyond words, there are no...words! So it took me what seemed like forever to get the script done and I never did feel 100% about it. (By the way, grip: not so Easy World.)
And then, even though it wasn't, to my mind, perfect, I needed to get to a recording studio without delay to record the vocal track if there was a chance of having it done in time for the holidays. That, in itself, was a totally new experience, and I was unsure of some aspects of that, too. So I felt vulnerable and like that was out of my control as well. Even after I heard the final version of the vocal track and liked it, I was unsure how it would work with the creation of the music.
Next, I had to turn it over to my amazing life-long friend, new age musician, Donna Michael, in Nashville to compose the music for it. It's always a little iffy to work with a friend--even one as dear and talented and responsible and spiritually compatible as Donna--so I was a little apprehensive about it even while I knew she was the right one to do it. (I will confess that it comforted me to know that Donna may be the only person in the world more picky than I am when it comes to the details!) The first sample she sent me was nice but it wasn't Easy World. I had a momentary crisis of faith before it struck me what the problem was. What I realized is that we had not come together to have a "prayer meeting" to begin the whole thing and to invoke Easy World. So we did and the next sample she sent me was beyond exactly right! Magical, even! (I have another cool story about the music I'll tell at some point!)
Lesson: Always start any collaboration by invoking Easy World together!
Once the music was perfect--and I mean perfect--and Rick and I had navigated the world of CD duplication, online sales options, procuring ISRC codes and barcodes and uploading big wav files and DDP images and preparing the artwork for printing (which I'd already designed, in total joy, I might add) and more, it was time to put the word out there. I created the sales page (with the help of our fabulous web master) and the emails and then we launched. I then held my breath to see if a) anybody wanted to buy it not just so we could re-coup the sizeable dollar investment we'd made but more importantly, so that it could fulfill its intended purpose, and b) if they'd like it once they bought it. And of course, c) the most crucial part of all: Would it take them to Easy World and help them sleep?
Oh, Julia. Your biggest lesson is simply to trust Easy World!
Turns out, it is selling like hotcakes--both the downloads and the CDs and we were in the black with it after 2 days. And the feedback from it has been beyond what I'd even hoped! All the comments I've gotten on it have affirmed that it is fulfilling my intention for it. Here's the mack daddy of reviews of it:
What I realized is that the whole feeling of being out of control was EXACTLY RIGHT! How could Easy World be in charge if I felt in charge and in control? It was far more effective that I stayed vulnerable and simply continued to move forward in the flow, doing my best in every moment to stay in Easy World, infusing Love into everything, and letting EW do the rest. I guess my being in a trance to create the script meant that the words came from a higher place than if I'd been firmly ensconced in my left brain, not to mention, if the meditation was to be optimally effective, it needed to put one in a trance! I had my evidence of its effectiveness of that first hand. Oh, me of little faith!
Anyway, I'm just thrilled with the outcome and I now listen to the meditation myself every night without critiquing it, just letting it take me to Easy World. I hope you'll be relaxing into Easy World soon, too. For the month of December, both the download and CD are at special introductory prices. http://www.iliveineasyworld.com/relax-into-easy-world/ I'd love to know how it's working for you!

"Julia! I got your Relax Into Easy World download yesterday and couldn't wait to listen to it. I use A LOT of these type of programs, and I have NEVER been so profoundly relaxed, peaceful and blissful in my entire life, except maybe in the middle of an extremely relaxing massage.The music is deeply relaxing and yet so unobtrusive. Perfect meditation music. It is all I could have hoped for and more as an aid to get into Easy World. It is AMAZING!!!!" --Donetta R., JapanI got another one from a woman who said she'd slept 9 hours straight after listening to it and she usually has a very hard time sleeping. And several more with similarly affirming comments. Needless to say, I'm thrilled.
