Product Description

Indigo Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child while introducing them to 4 research-based, stress management techniques. Four unique bedtime stories incorporate diaphragmatic breathing, visualizations, progressive muscular relaxation, and affirmations (positive statements). These are the same techniques recommended for adults but presented in a fun, interactive format that appeals to children. Children follow the characters along as they learn belly breathing with A Boy and a Bear, make positive statements with The Affirmation Web, visualize with A Boy and a Turtle, and use progressive muscular relaxation with The Goodnight Caterpillar. All four of these stories are also available in book format. Indigo Dreams 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 female 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.

From the Publisher
It is our hope that this CD helps children around the world learn life long coping skills of stress management and relaxation. We wish to empower children to be active participants in their own well being. We hold the vision of contributing to a generation of children living longer, healthier, calmer lives.

From the Author
Our children are exposed to unprecedented types of stress. We can help our children by teaching them to manage their own energy, stress and anxiety. My own stressful journey of raising 3 children in today's fast paced, complicated world has inspired me to take the lessons I have learned to other parents and children. I have made it easy for parents, educators and children to simply listen to the CD and let the stories do the work for you. You do not need to study stress management or attend classes. All you need is a CD player and a child. Enjoy and know that you are making a difference.

Indigo Dreams: Meditation and Relaxation Bedtime Stories
My child, diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, has always had difficulty falling asleep despite all the bedtime rituals we would follow. His mind would just stay so busy when he was supposed to be relaxing and falling asleep. The Indigo Dreams CD and companion books have been a great help. He is able to concentrate on his breathing and relaxing his mind and body. He falls asleep much more readily. The CD is beautifully narrated and he really enjoys the music too. This is definitely a help for stressed out parents.

Magical and Practical at the same time!
We bought this for our 8 year old daughter who tends to be somewhat anxious at night trying to get to sleep.

Since receiving this CD she looks forward to bedtime and she goes to sleep very easily. Bedtime is now a very positive experience for her.

My wife and I were searching for a long time for something to help her with bedtime and this is the answer. Even if she happens to wake up in the middle of the night, she'll just put the CD on again and it really relaxes her. We have also recently received Lori Lite's other CD "Indigo Ocean Dreams" variety, and it is wonderful as well!

By the way, my son who is 11 also loves both CDs (and to be honest they have put my wife and I to sleep when we've had it on).

Thanks to Lori Lite for helping out all the parents out there who were looking for a way to help their children with what can be a very anxious time for many kids.

I can't recommend this enough, the stories are fabulous and are read by the author who has a perfect, soothing and calming voice. The music is very soothing and meditative as well and compliments everything beautifully!

Also, for those whose children are in their teens, Lori Lite just released a new CD called Indigo Teen Dreams. It uses the same techniques but is presented in a way that is more suitable for kids in their teen years.

Great CD for bedtime
My 4 1/2 year old loves to listen to this CD at bedtime. We thought that he would be too young to appreciate it, but he asks for it every night at bedtime. He really enjoys the stories and we love the fact that it helps him get to sleep and promotes his self worth!!I would highly recommend this CD to any parent.
