Product Description
Indigo Teen Dreams allows teens to manage stress, anger, and anxiety while increasing self-esteem and self-awareness. Teens explore the research-based, stress-management techniques of breathing, visualizations, progressive muscular relaxation, and affirmationsor positive statements. This straight forward, easy to follow approach encourages teens to take charge of their own feelings and stress. It provides a safe place where teens can be themselves while not worrying about peer pressure or living up to any ones expectations. The male narrator is motivating, encouraging and soothing at the same time! Additional uplifting music sound tracks are provided to further enhance their relaxation experience. Teens are encouraged to make good choices and believe in themselves while managing stress and anger. Great for teens entering Middle School through High School. Indigo Teen Dreams is an approachable way to introduce your teenager to harnessing the mind s power to improve self-esteem, deal with difficult emotional or social issues, and instill calm during the tenuous years between child and adulthood. The introduction provides context for affirmation and positive thinking in a manner that is the perfect combination of welcoming and informative. Teenagers can be very resistant to trying new things, so the guidance is subtle enough to be effective without any over-the-top vibes that might make a teenager giggle or roll her eyes. The music for the exercises is relaxing and calming, devoid of screaming guitars or chest-pounding backbeats. The songs are suitably contemporary and pleasing, providing a seamless background for teens to practice their newfound skills of affirmation, breathing, muscular relaxation, and visualization. - Jennifer Sommersby Young, Reviewed in Rewind Resource Guide 2006

Irritating man's voice, not Lori by C. Herzig (Sebastopol, CA)

I was specifically looking for guided relaxation in a woman's voice. Since Lori Lite has her name on this, it seemed reasonable to assume it was her. It is a very irritating man's voice. Very misleading. I am returning it.

Seems more for adults... by Reese (USA)

I purchased this CD, along with several others, because my daughter really likes Lori Lite's Garden of Wellness and her original version of Indigo Dreams. Much to our dismay, the first half of this CD seems to be a dissertation on the definitions of "affirmation" and the like spoken by a man with a very un-soothing voice. I felt like I was back in my college history class. I don't know many adults, let alone teens, who would find this relaxing. Perhaps, a change in title with an emphasis on TECHNIQUE is in order. Likewise, a change in narrator might help. On the positive side, the second half of the CD contains some lovely, ethereal music which IS relaxing...

I work with teens that are in foster care. I use this CD to introduce them to relaxation techniques. It is broken down in a way that helps them understand and try the techniques out. The teens that I have introduced it to thus far, have been open to at least trying it and once they have tried it they all say that really works.

This CD saved my sanity! by CMC (Danville, CA. USA)

For over one year, my 12 year old had major problems going to sleep after starting middle school, going to sleep over 1 hr past her bedtime, and getting migraines the next day. It continued even into the summer, and I was getting less sleep too. I tried an amateur CD made by a therapist but it didn't work;I was I went on Amazon and tried Indigo Dreams the night that it arrived, and for 2 months now, my daughter has been able to put herself to sleep in 15-20 min with this CD! We use a CD player that has a sleep function that decreases the volume and turns off at the preselected time. There are different tracks - intro, breathing, muscle relaxation, visualization, affirmation, etc. The techniques the kids use will be helpful to decrease anxiety before test, competitions, etc. The narrator's voice is soothing but not creepy. I'm a physician and have recommended this CD to my teenage patients to help with sleep and not just pop a pill, and the adult Indigo Dreams for my adult patients. I have to burn copies in case the original CD gets scratched because we can't survive without it!!
