CLUBBING

The papers are full of stories about clubbers overdoing it but we all know that it's better to burn the candle at both ends while your wick's still dry.

Just to prove that I have your best interest at heart, I've the perfect tonic for all you stressed-out clubbers who can't remember what it's like to go to sleep at the weekend while it's still dark.

Lie down, close your eyes and listen very carefully...

Spirit of Relaxation is the first release in a brand new series, devoted to the mind, body and soul. The "intriguingly" named Dreamkeeper creates ambient music fused with "the world's most stimulating natural sounds", and offers "full-on" clubbers the chance to enhance their calm and chill.

Three CDs take your mind on a serene tour that features "The Rain Forest", "Dolphins and Whales" and "The Ocean".

Leave your musically/chemically/ physically induced burn-out behind and realign your spiritual equilibrium; go with the flow, man... And all this for only pounds 10.99, from your local record store.

EYE ON THE PRIZE Courtesy of Flute records, we have five Spirit of Relaxation CDs to give away. One lucky winner will also win a stay for two to a health farm in the UK.

In the true sense of the spirit of relaxation, this two-night break gives you everything from massage to an exercise programme. You'll return refreshed and fitter than ever... then you'll be ready to punish your body all over again at the club of your choice.
