"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 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.These stories were created to help our own child fall asleep. I was amazed when my son stopped jumping on the bed to breathe with the bear. It was a magical moment! My husband heard the story and asked me to write it down! I knew then that my life purpose was to help children.

“This is an absolute must! You will love this and your children will too. The stories are superb and the relaxation sounds are so soothing. This is one of several Lori Lite items that we have, and as always I am more than satisfied. My children ask for either a CD or story from her collection every single night, and I am always pleased that they do.”
