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.

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.

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.

I never take time to do these reviews as I am too
busy. But this one deserves my time.
My son (5) is a bit on the anxious side due to some
surgeries, a very active mind/tense body, and quite
simply due to his personality. I have tried to teach
him breathing techniques and a small amount of
meditation- he didn't really learn them all that well.
However he LOVES both the Indigo Dreams cds for
kids and learned the breathing techniques
immediately. I was surprised to hear him say one
day out of the blue "MOM! On the cd there's one
called "Bubble Ride" and you can feel the bubbles
cascading all the way down to your fingertips and it
REALLY makes me relax!"
He won't go to sleep without them now. He
associates it with relaxation and sleep so all I have
to do is turn on the cd player and he immediately
closes his eyes and gets down to the business of
relaxing towards sleep. Before the cds, he would be
up and down in his room for up to an hour before
he would settle down and stay in bed.
My neighbors 10 yr old daughter is very anxious
due to a break-in in their new home recently and
some other issues she has. I suggested this cd
awhile ago but her mother didn't buy it. Finally after
they had yet another sleepless night due to some
bad night terrors and were exhausted, I walked
down and physically handed one of our cds to them
so they would try it. She said her daughter loves
them and zonks right out. I never did hear if they
have "cured" her of the night terrors and anxiety
but I do know they bought their own copies the
next day!
It's a good thing too because my son was literally
crying to get his Indigo Ocean Dreams copy back
one night (he had the other one - Indigo Dreams
though!) and I had to walk down to their house in
the dark and trade them for our Indigo Dreams
copy!
The woman's voice is so soothing. It's
wonderful. I love to listen to it too. The pace is
perfect also. Thank you so much for these cds.
Children have so much to deal with in their little
lives and it's wonderful to see someone paying
attention to this and teaching them these
techniques they can learn easily and use for the rest
of their lives! Thank you Thank you!

Our children finally have a product to empower them to deal with anxiety and stress. My children have been exposed to violence on the television, been bullied in school and are under a tremendous amount of stress. My younger child gets teased for being overweight. I don't remember being this stressed out at their age, but I'm stressed out now dealing with their stress.

A friend introduced me to Indigo Dreams CD and my children LOVE this CD. They want to listen to the stories every night. In a short time they have learned to use the techniques that Lori Lite teaches to help them in their everyday lives.

My youngest loves the affirmations, while my older one adores the breathing and The Goodnight Caterpillar story. I was forced to buy another CD to avoid the fighting.

I highly recommend this CD and the stories.

Because I create guided meditation CDs for adults I have researched and reviewed literally hundreds of similar products, and I have to say, the Indigo Dreams series is one of the best. This CD was so relaxing I had to re-start it three times to get through the whole thing -- I was trying to stay awake but kept falling asleep! The techniques are straight-forward relaxation processes, but woven creativly into the stories. The next time I need a present for a 4-to-8-year-old (or maybe even a kid-at-heart!) this will be my choice.

After having a wonderful experience with "A Boy And A Bear", I decided to try "Indigo Dreams". I was not disappointed. My grandson and I sat on the couch and together we enjoyed the gentle, relaxing stories of Lori Lite. I wish other grandparents (as well as any adult) could be made aware of the value and benefits that is available to them by simply listening to these stories. Thank you Lori.

I was a little afraid that my two boys, ages 7 and 8 when I got them the CD eight months ago, might find Indigo Dreams a bit childish. No worries. They love listening to it and play it every night as they go to sleep. They seem to recognize that it helps them. In fact, if we continue to talk after I have started the CD, they ask me to start it over so they can hear it from the beginning.

The boys have been through a painful divorce, their father's immediate remarriage, and are now living in two extremely different and antagonistic households - switching back and forth every other week. The older of the two boys used to lay awake for an hour or two after bedtime but now goes to sleep quickly and easily. The younger used to be plagued by nightmares but those too have all but disappeared.

Although I didn't realize it at the time, buying this CD was a gift of simple, peaceful comfort for my boys - helping them to cope in a world that has gotten too complex for adults much less children.

My seven year old has enjoyed the stories very much. The stories are a creative way to introduce children to meditation, positive thinking, affirmations, breathing and relaxation. I hope other children will be able to use this unique CD. I am a Montessori teacher and I will use it in my classroom. I just odered Indigo Ocean Dreams and we can't wait to get it! I am so happy that we have Indigo Dreams.

I have been teaching for many years. I recently had the opportunity to observe a class of first grade children as they listened to these stories. Wow!! What an amazing transformation. They came into the room very excited and within minutes they began to really listen to the stories,relax and follow along with the directions. I watched a boy I knew to be extremely hyper become very calm and quiet.This collection of stories is what we all need to help us manage our day to day stress. I highly recommend this CD to all parents with children and who knows they might enjoy the stories themselves.
