Indigo Dreams 3 CD Set Endorsements

Not often do I reach out beyond friends, family and our doctors for help when it comes to challenges we have with our anxious child. We sought out help from teachers, doctors and from within – and this series of CD has nurtured our lives! The CD’s by Lori Lite have been the beacon of light for us on sometimes stormy nights. The relaxing bedtime CD’s have transformed our evenings into pleasant, happy moments we now cherish with our child. My daughter (age 6) can’t wait to put on her CD and enjoy the stories that lull her off to bed without a concern in the world – and I’m not even speaking to how empowered she is in the morning. Thank you so much for producing this series – it’s been our lifesaver in many different ways! –Mom’s Life Saver
My daughter loves these tapes. She has a hard time winding down and getting to sleep. At first she said she thought they were a little boring, but I explained that bedtime tapes aren’t supposed to be fast-paced and exciting. Within a week she was asking for them every night. She started telling me what she was learning from them: how to relax, what to do if she felt mad during the day, focusing on what makes her happy and content, etc… Not only have they helped her fall asleep, I really think they have helped her deal with her emotions during the day as well. -Colorado Mom
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 truly 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. – Bonita
My children ages 5, 7 and 9, love all 3 of these CDs. The narrator of Indigo Dreams has a voice that can lull them to sleep even on the most difficult nights. They love the Ocean CD with the sea child/mermaid character and can really relate to the angry octopus. They now remind each other to take a deep breath like the octopus when they are losing their tempers. It is quite funny. All of my children are now using the techniques from the stories including positive statements like the dolphin. My oldest has been having trouble sleeping due to stress and worry about school. He constantly asks for The Garden of Wellness CD. The stories hit you in the heart and the practice tracks help him get rid of his worries and fears and anger and fall asleep quickly and soundly. I highly recommend this set. – Richie
I was originally introduced to Lori Lite’s work when searching for something to help my then 8 year old daughter deal with anxiety and difficulty sleeping. After much searching I ordered her original “Indigo Dreams” CD and it was miraculously effective! We then ordered “Indigo Ocean Dreams” which had the same result. Now we’re fortunate enough to have another offering from Lori Lite, Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness. In fact my daughter who is now almost 10, listened to it last night for the first time and gave me the biggest smile this morning when I asked how she liked it! In fact my daughter loved it so much that before she left for school today, she left it playing in her CD player for her favorite stuffed animal named Quackers (a stuffed duck that she’s had for many years). She tucks him in every morning before she goes to school and leaves a CD on for him so he won’t be lonely. For her to leave it on for Quackers is the ultimate compliment! I listened to the CD myself this morning and I can see why she was so positive about it! This CD deals with issues that all kids have to deal with in some fashion. It deals with making good food choices, being able to deal with bullying/exclusion from the “in” group as well as other situations that can be stressful. I think it’s wonderful that this program starts with a story dealing with food choices because it really helps children become aware of how their choices affect the way they feel. In this and other tracks children learn to use affirmations and other techniques that will empower them to deal with various situations. There is the Bubble Blowing technique where you imagine putting a difficult emotion into a bubble and then being able to pop the bubble (and the emotion) to release oneself from it. This seems very simple but it is effective. Also there is the “Light Shield” technique in which children learn to imagine a light shield to protect themselves from external noise or situations where others may be making them uncomfortable emotionally. Those techniques along with affirmations help children become empowered internally which is the greatest thing they can learn. Highly recommended! – Y. D.
I have purchased all the Indigo Dreams CDs for my 6yr old daughter. She absolutely loves climbing in bed and listening to these CD’s just about every night! I was first introduced to the Indigo Dreams series a year and half ago when my daughter was battling a serious illness. Throughout her treatment and recovery, these CD’s and techniques have helped to reduce her stress and anxiety. I would highly recommend these to anyone who has a child that maybe going through some type of stressful illness. – A Thankful Parent, T.C.
My family loves the Indigo Dreams stories by Lori Lite, for we often listen to her CDs to help the children relax and fall asleep. The stories are very reassuring, calming and sweet. Sometimes, I get so relaxed that I fall asleep, too. – S. Hargreaves
I bought all 3 of the Indigo Dreams CDs for children/teens. I have 2 daughters who deal with anxiety. My youngest anxiety was so severe that she ended up in ER with a panic attack, which increased her anxiety even more – it was a horrible cycle. In searching for techniques to help her, I found this CD series. It has been a godsend. She quickly downloaded both of the “non teen” CDs to her iPod, allowing her to take the relaxation “on the road” and to choose her favorites from both CDs. She’s been using these for almost a month and now her bedtime is so peaceful and easy – no longer does she stew and fret and end up being awake for hours. She is always asleep within minutes. My eldest daughter likes her teen CD as well, though she declared it was “stupid” before she listened to it. Now she has it on every night. These are great, great products! – Sfshaza
I am a full time social worker, and I have found this “series” very helpful as a clinician. – L. Littman
We love Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness! This is the 3rd CD we’ve purchase in the series and it’s just as good as the original Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams. My nearly 5 year old daughter has rest time every day when she can listen to something of her choice, and she’s picked Garden of Wellness every day since we received it a week ago. The whole series of CDs are so positive and soothing for her. She focuses on the stories and we discuss them after they’re done. She can relate to the characters, and the positive messages about eating and self-esteem are simple and straightforward enough to resonate with her. They are a great way to help kids relax and get some much-needed down time during the day without having to turn on the TV. I plan on using the Indigo Dreams CDs with my 2 year old daughter as well, when she begins to grow out of her naps. The CDs have been a great way to extend the “rest time” habit with our older daughter. – Margarita Vacanti
First I will begin by listing the programs/CD’s/books that I have purchased from Lite Books. 4 books: A Boy and a Bear, The Affirmation Web, A Boy and a Turtle and The Goodnight Caterpillar plus 5 audio CDs: Indigo Dreams, Indigo Ocean Dreams, Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness, Indigo Teen Dreams and Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation plus: Children’s Stress Awareness Curriculum Designed for Youth Education.
Next I will say “THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!” For 9 years I worked as an advocate for children in a homeless shelter for women and children. I was constantly challenged with finding resources that were short, effective, and held the attention of the children. I was able to find resources but not all in one spot, I had to piece a little of this and a little of that to reach a fully rounded program that worked. The tools that Lori Lite created within each book and each CD offer short, highly effective programs that hold the attention of children. And best of all it is a package deal! You do not have to pull from any other program because the tools that she gives you are all you need. I am now an HHP and use the books and CD’s when working with children of any age to simply give them powerful tools that they can use in daily life and hopefully carry into teen and adult hood. In my opinion Lite Books offer the best resources available to the health and wellness of children on the market. Within my own life I use the CD’s as a nightly staple within the bedtime process of my children. They have not been able to stay awake long enough to finish even one of the stories on the CD yet. That is how relaxing the CD’s are. For myself I have to stay sitting up when tucking them in and listening with them because if I get comfortable I am waking up in the middle of the night still in my kid’s room! During daylight hours and when my children are well rested I have worked each session on the CD’s with them from beginning to end. Now when they are feeling overwhelmed, frightened, angry, etc… I will see them use the techniques they have learned through Lori’s programs, they move quickly from the negative feeling to a positive approach and positive result. Lite Books offers professional and friendly customer service, with great shipping time. I am so grateful to have found this amazing resource and look forward to being one of their strongest professional advocates as well as personal customers! – T. Hartley
