The Indigo Dreams series is exceptional: The writing is delightful, the narration gentle and soothing, the music is dreamy and non-intrusive, and the relaxation techniques effective (even on a kid in her 5th decade of life!) Because I create guided meditation CDs for adults, I am extremely familiar with what is in the marketplace. More often than not I'm dissappointed, but I'm happy to say that Indigo Ocean Dreams delighted me. Not only does this CD help the listener to relax, it gently addresses some of the issues that can cause stress (anger, anxiety, poor self esteem, etc.), helping kids to find constructive ways to have more calm in their waking life as well. I'm looking forward to the next CD!

My 10 year old daughter has been going through a tough time...lots of drama related to her friendships and anxiety about the foregoing issues led to pretty severe bouts of insomnia. I ordered these cds based on the reviews, and was so pleased. My daughter listened to them at bedtime, and the first night, slept the entire night through. She was able to relate to the stories, and the positive affirmations were something new to her that she truely embraced. I highly recommend that parents buy this series for their kids if they are struggling with anxiety or social concerns. I listened to them too, and found them helpful as well.

Repetitive - The same EXACT one as Indigo Dreams. But great if you don't have the first.

I am kind of bummed because I went by one of these reviews that called this a "sequel" to the other one. It is NOT a sequel but is the exact same thing -- only the characters and setting have changed. Even my 8-year old noticed right away - "Oh this is the caterpillar story" and "this is the boy and the bear." We really liked the first CD, Indigo Dreams, and since this was described as for age 8-12, we thought it would be that "next step."
Yet I feel we completely wasted money since we already had the first. But if you don't have the first, then this is a great item. I don't know too many 12 year olds who would listen to it, but it's great for kids 6-10ish who need to learn relaxation techniques. Right away my son incorporated some of the techniques and is beginning to make some process with his anxieties.

Greater starter for a child
My daughter listened to this and was a doubter. However when she finished she stated, this 'works!' She didn't believe me about mediation, but now she does. Thanks
