Product Description

Indigo Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child while introducing them to relaxation and stress-management techniques. Four unique bedtime stories incorporate breathing, visualizations, muscular relaxation and affirmations. These are the same techniques recommended for adults but presented in a fun, interactive format that appeal to children. Children follow the characters along as they learn Yoga belly breathing with A Boy and a Bear, make positive statements with The Affirmation Web, visualize with A Boy and a Turtle and relax with The Goodnight Caterpillar. All four of these stories are also available in book format. Indigo Dream s shorter stories are perfect for shorter attention spans and beginners. The stories are best suited for ages 4-9. These proven techniques encourage wellness and provide tools for children who suffer from anxiety, stress, trauma, hyperactivity, anger, sleep issues and lack of confidence. The narration is accompanied by soothing sounds of crickets, gentle breezes and forest animals. An additional music sound track is included to further enhance your child s relaxation experience.

Customer Reviews

Great
My daughter (8) loves these stories. We bought the other 2 CDs as well. She really enjoys them.

Nice Calm bedtime meditation
10 year old daughter loves this cd, my 5 year old son yells no I don't want it. Speaker tells stories with key words such as "calm" "happy" "beautiful" "smart" she speaks slowly and calmly - I personally find it relaxing and I could fall asleep to it.

Very Calming
I bought this CD for my 6 year old son who was feeling excessively worried after a number of medical procedures. I am a psychotherapist and wanted to try something different. My son had an interesting reaction to it while he was stressed out-he thought it was, "too slow" and "boring" and wanted me to turn it off BUT: after a couple of minutes he said, "Mom, why do I feel so sleepy?" (!). I did too. It is soothing and on their level and I thought that it was relaxing. I only played it a that one time however, because he objected to it another time and fortunately, I have not really needed it. So mixed success-if you can get them to listen to it-it works!
