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.

    Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams) has been rated 5 starsGreat CD

    I bought this CD for use as a relaxation activity in an early childhood classroom for 3 to 5 year old children and it’s wonderful. If I could give it more stars, it would have 10! This would be great for your child to listen to at night to help them wind down for bedtime, or in the afternoon for a rest time activity, and it’s great for the classroom. I highly recommend it.

    Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams) has been rated 3 starsThis is interesting.

    I like this cd. My 4 year old doesn’t really care for it anymore. She listened to it a few times when she was an older 3 or young 4 year old, but I think that she really prefers me to read her a book over listening to cd’s before bedtime.

    I can see how it can relax a person; worked for me. At one point, while I was listening to this, I was in a deep, deep relaxation, then about to doze off and then there was a loud yawn that didn’t match the others in volume and that made me jump.

    Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams) has been rated 5 starsPerfect for an anxious child

    I ran across this audio CD quite on accident, but after reading about it, and reading some of the reviews, I thought it might be a nice option for bedtime listening for my 7 year old daughter. I could not be more pleased! My daughter tends to be a bit anxious, and often can wind herself up at bedtime imagining all the things that might go wrong the next day. When we would check on her at night, she never had the peaceful sleep of our younger daughter, but instead looked a bit tense, even in sleep. The first night we had her listen to the CD, we went in later to check on her, and she was completely sprawled out, arms overhead, and had the most serene smile on her face. It was beautiful! We have been using this CD for the last 6-7 weeks, and every night she falls asleep quickly and peacefully. Mornings are much more pleasant as well. She awakens in a great mood. I would recommend this CD to anyone with a child that could benefit from a peaceful night’s sleep!!!

    Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams) has been rated 5 starsSleepless in Hawaii

    I bought this CD because my five children have a hard time winding down in the evenings at bedtime. Wow what a wonderful response my children have had. My son who is eleven goes to bed every night plugged into Indigo Dreams. He seems calmer and more at peace during the day. Best yet my oldest who is fifteen and suffers from an Autism Spectrum Disorder uses this to calm himself. He is begging for another CD and that is why I’m on today to purchase additional titles. I think anyone who has a special needs child, especially autistic should purchase this product for their child. I will recommend to all my friends with children.

    Thank you!!!

    Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams) has been rated 2 starsTone Not Right

    For my child, who has had sleep issues forever, and had alot of success with Indigo Dream: Garden of Wellness, this CD was disappointing. The stories and music were great….but for my child, the tone of the narrator did not create a calm feeling for her. She responded to the voice of the “Garden of Wellness” CD much better.
