Review

"I have purchased the Indigo Dreams for Teens. I have three children ages ranging from 11 to 16 yrs old. They love to listen to the CD's. They especially find it very helpful during exams and also very useful when dealing with peer pressure in school. It gives them tools they can use to deal with the situation at hand in a positive constructive manner. --Stress Free Kids

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Indigo Teen Dreams: Diversity at it's Best, July 25, 2006

By	Mary L. Whalen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a psychiatric social worker who purchased "Indigo Teen Dreams" for our unit. We have utilized this wonderful CD on a twice weekly basis as part of our relaxation curriculum. We have a very diverse population of adolescents ranging from kids who are moderately depressed or highly anxious to severely behaviorally and emotionally disturbed. This CD has reached teens across the board and given them the initial realization that they do have some control over their bodies and how they choose to respond to situations and stressors. I applaud "Indigo Teen Dreams" CD for its usefulness in everyday life in supporting teens with many diverse needs and challenging issues to find a better way to deal with their stressors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indigo Teen Dreams: Affirmations, Deep Breathing, Relaxation and Visualization, September 26, 2005

By	Yoga Dad - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

As a parent, I would give this CD 10 stars because I think it is so valuable!

Lori Lite, the creator of Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams (as well as many other wonderful tools for children) has now created a real gift for teens. This Indigo Teen Dreams CD is a wonderful resource to help teenagers learn to empower themselves by learning how to connect with their inner being and strength, as well as how to deal with this very stressful time in their lives.

Considering all the pressures they have to deal with, from peer and social pressures (which often lead to eating disorders),a changing physiology, pressures to do well in school and other activities, teens can benefit immeasurably by learning the techniques presented here.

This CD has tracks that contain guided affirmations, deep breathing techniques, relaxation and visualization, tools that will not only help them during the difficult teen years but can also help them build a foundation that can help them for the rest of their lives.

By learning to go within and learn how to live from the inside out rather than from the outside in, teens can find a place that is always available to them, a haven to weather the storms of life. Even when they may not be dealing with a specific stressful event, these tools can help with the ability to concentrate and build a general sense of confidence.

When you connect with a place larger than the day to day dramas that can often swallow one up emotionally, you can live from a centered place, and that is true empowerment.

This program is also a wonderful tool for teens to use in order to relax into sleep after a stressful day (and parents may find themselves wanting a copy for themselves as well to help them deal with their own stress).

As with Lori Lite's other CD's, the quality of the production is top notch from the fidelity of the recording, the pacing of the individual tracks as well as the narrators and the music.

I only wish I had a tool like this when I was going through those difficult teen years, but I am grateful that my own children have Lori Lite's CD's available for them. My almost 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son have already been using both Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams and now my Son can use Indigo Teen Dreams as well. I will have a copy ready for my daughter so that she'll also have this available to her when she enters those difficult years.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indigo Teen Dreams- A Wonderful Relaxer, July 21, 2006

By	Sarah Gerhard (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

I'm a very tense person by nature and I get anxious easily, which sometimes disturbs my sleep. Recently, I had a difficult time falling asleep because I was worrying about college and such. I put on Indigo Teen Dreams and almost instantly felt more at ease. The visualizations and images are wonderfully relaxing. The meditation really allowed me to focus in on myself and forget the world around me. And the deep breathing track is something that everyone should do, learning how to deep breathe can make a world of a difference, as I found out. I put the CD on my i-pod and listen to it whenever I need to relax. It's made my overall mood better and I'm happy to have found something that makes me feel better. I do a lot of theatre and once the school year starts up, I plan to use the techniques to focus and relax myself before an audition. These techniques I can carry with me and use forever; I would strongly recommend it to any teen, I think everyone can benefit from it.
