I never take time to do these reviews as I am toobusy. But this one deserves my time.My son (5) is a bit on the anxious side due to somesurgeries, a very active mind/tense body, and quitesimply due to his personality. I have tried to teachhim breathing techniques and a small amount ofmeditation- he didn't really learn them all that well.However he LOVES both the Indigo Dreams cds forkids and learned the breathing techniquesimmediately. I was surprised to hear him say oneday out of the blue "MOM! On the cd there's onecalled "Bubble Ride" and you can feel the bubblescascading all the way down to your fingertips and itREALLY makes me relax!"He won't go to sleep without them now. Heassociates it with relaxation and sleep so all I haveto do is turn on the cd player and he immediatelycloses his eyes and gets down to the business ofrelaxing towards sleep. Before the cds, he would beup and down in his room for up to an hour beforehe would settle down and stay in bed.My neighbors 10 yr old daughter is also very anxiousdue to a break-in in their new home recently andsome other issues she has. I suggested this cdawhile ago but her mother didn't buy it. Finally afterthey had yet another sleepless night due to somebad night terrors and were exhausted, I walkeddown and physically handed one of our cds to themso they would try it. She said her daughter lovesthem and zonks right out.
Overall, the "Indigo Dreams" series of CDs is excellent, and my rating reflects my general perception across all three of them. The concepts and tone are soothing and the tools it teaches are effective. My very bright, creative 10 year old son suffers from pretty intense anxiety and stress issues; he also has some anger issues and trouble falling asleep, both of which are off-shoots of the stress and anxiety. While these CDs are (unfortunately!) not a total panacea, they are helpful for him on many a tough evening.We own all three CDs in the "Indigo Dreams" series, and he listens to one or another of them just about every night. When he places one of those discs into the CD player, turns it on, and turns out the light, his body and brain seems to viscerally respond ... most of the time, anyhow. At his age and developmental level, he is just at the cusp of the kids' CDs being a little too young and the teen CD being a little too old, but he seems to benefit from them anyway. At this point, he still leans toward the kids' versions most of the time - the simple stories "zone him out" in a good way, though I can't honestly say that he "hears" them as much more than white noise after so many listenings. There are mornings when he tells me that he can't remember anything past the first or second story on the CD, which means he fell asleep relatively quickly. (YAY!) Sometimes we just skip the CD player to the "music only" tracks at the end of each CD and that relaxes him as well.The only barrier that prevented me from rating the series with five stars rather than four is a minor "gender issue". My son prefers the voice of the female narrator; unfortunately, she is only present on the Indigo Dreams CD with the purple cover.
