Indigo Dreams Audio CD Endorsements
- 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.

- My son has a behavior problem, your CD INDIGO DREAMS, has saved his life. He has calmness about himself NOW. If we have a stressful day, I ask him to close his eyes, and tell me some affirmations and within 5 minutes he has calmed down. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK!

- I love the Indigo Dreams series. It has worked wonders for my son who is diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADHD. He sometimes suffers from nighttime anxiety and restlessness. This has led to many sleepless nights and many nightmares as he struggled to work out the day’s events. Since turning him on to Indigo Dreams he is sleeping sound and falling asleep relaxed. He likes the Boy and the Turtle the best and loves the rainbow imagery. We listen together and he is almost always asleep before he end of the CD! Wonderful and highly recommended!

- Two of my wonderful grandchildren, brother and sister, now ages 9 and 6 respectively, often sleep overnight at my house. Last year I had bought Indigo Dreams for them and they really enjoyed the stories, each of them having their favorites, A Boy and A Turtle and Goodnight Caterpillar. This past summer they had some upsetting experiences in their lives and felt anxious about going to sleep. They talked to me about their upset and anxieties and didn’t want to go to sleep. We talked about ways to become more comfortable and then, they themselves asked me to play the CD and stay in the room with them while they listened. I could see them relaxing and hear their breathing ease until they were asleep. The next time they came over to stay, my granddaughter asked me to play the “angel music” after the stories. It seems that the Indigo Dreams soundtrack was so soothing to her that she named it her angel music. When my grandchildren are here to sleep we always include Indigo Dreams to do it’s magic. Thank you for your beautiful CD and it’s helpfulness to my grandchildren.

- My son enjoys listening to Indigo Dreams at night. If he wakes up after a nightmare we turn it back on in the middle of the night so he can relax and fall back asleep. I would recommend this product to anybody with a small child that has trouble relaxing at night and falling asleep quickly. I have noticed a big difference in the amount of time it takes for him to fall asleep.

- I purchased this CD for dual use: for my clients, and for my children. I was hopeful that it would be useful, but since I know I am quite critical of relaxation/imagery CDs given my expertise as an art therapist, psychologist, hypnotherapist who creates imagery, and conducts relaxation training, I didn’t expect to be as impressed as I was. Not only did kids like it, but wanted to listen to it over and over again for entertainment. Even siblings who were not the intended audience enjoyed and requested it. My kids liked the stories loved the details and expressiveness of the characters. I found the voice tone good, and the content of the metaphors remarkably cohesive. It’s now a staple in our car as well as a recommended resource.

- My son is Autistic, and he loved the first CD (Indigo Dreams) in this series when I ordered it for him on a whim. The stories have helped teach him to let go of his anger, and by playing them at night when he’s had a particularly overwhelming day I find him having more and more ‘good’ mornings. After story time I step out of the room and can hear him following the steps of what are guided meditations for children. Any of the CD’s in this series is good. My son’s favorite story disc is the one with the Angry Octopus (Indigo Ocean Dreams). With the help of these CD’s he truly understands now that he has control over his own emotions.

- I bought Indigo Dreams for use as a relaxation activity in an early childhood classroom for 3 to 5 year old children and it’s wonderful. If I could give it more stars, it would have 10! This would be great for your child to listen to at night to help them wind down for bedtime, or in the afternoon for a rest time activity, and it’s great for the classroom. I highly recommend it.

- I ordered Indigo Dreams after reading the reviews, as my 6 year old twins were having trouble falling asleep. One of them was having a lot of anxiety as well, including irrational fears. We played a different track of the CD each night for about a week. At first the boys wiggled around, giggled and would not settle down. By about the 3rd night, they were getting into it and relaxing. They would go limp with relaxation as we listened to it in the dark. Our favorite track is The Goodnight Caterpillar, which is followed by very relaxing music. The kids have fallen asleep so much easier than before. I even used the CD in the middle of the night when one of the boys had a nightmare and was upset and agitated. He was able to fall right back asleep, without the usual requests to sleep in our bed. My son with the anxiety problem has gotten much better. He no longer has worries about school or spiders, two things he used to obsess about. These CDs were worth their weight in gold as far as I’m concerned. We are all sleeping much better. We have only had these about a month and there has been such a significant improvement that we don’t need to use them all the time. I think the kids are learning how to relax on their own. If your kids are struggling with sleeplessness or anxiety, don’t hesitate to give these a try.

- I bought Indigo Dreams because my five children have a hard time winding down in the evenings at bedtime. Wow, what a wonderful response my children have had. My son who is eleven, goes to bed every night plugged into Indigo Dreams. He seems calmer and more at peace during the day. Best yet my oldest who is fifteen and suffers from an Autism Spectrum Disorder uses this to calm himself. He is begging for another CD and that is why I’m on today to purchase additional titles. I think anyone who has a special needs child, especially autistic should purchase this product for their child. I will recommend to all my friends with children.

- I bought Indigo Dreams for my 10 year old daughter last year. She is now 11, in 6th grade and it still is a comfort for her. She has minor anxiety issues and developed OCD, picking her eye lashes and brows. We thought she was ADD which we still think but also anxiety as a co-morbid condition. This CD she loves and gets her restless mind to sleep very quickly. She still listens to it at night. I’m surprised she isn’t sick of it. I would highly recommend this CD to help de-stress and relax your child.

- Lori Lite’s first CD, INDIGO DREAMS consists of her reading A Boy and a Bear, complete with gentle [boy and bear] snoring at the end of the reading. My son often drifts off to sleep with them while listening to the CD at night. I’m a parent looking for stress management for my tightly-wound little boy, a grownup still learning to manage my own stress, and an early childhood teacher hoping to help my students learn to relax themselves. These are excellent tools. I’m most grateful to Lori Lite. Highly recommended!

- 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.

- I am a Hurricane Katrina victim from New Orleans. I have two girls, ages 10 and 12. Indigo Dreams is the best present I have received to help my girls and me cope with all the horrible events involved with Hurricane Katrina.

- I bought Indigo Dreams for my five year old daughter so she could learn to wind down and relax at the end of the day. She has Sensory Processing Disorder so a typical school day can be very stressful for her. The music, stories, imagery and breathing exercises found throughout the stories are a real delight to her (and to me and we do it together before bedtime!). I love that we have a practical tool to use to prepare for a good night’s sleep.

- Indigo Dreams is amazing! My son, age 6, has sensory integration dysfunction and generalized anxiety disorder. We now are peacefully going to sleep and staying asleep through the night. Every night my son listens to one of the stories and drifts off before it has even ended. These calming stories relax my son, help him to forget his anxieties and give him added self-confidence. I would recommend it to all parents for a peaceful night’s sleep. It is wonderful and has done wonders for my little boy.

- I would like to thank you for the Indigo Dreams CD. I have foster children with special needs and had been looking for a way to teach them how to be okay with themselves, relax and deal with their feelings in a positive manner. Not only do I love this CD, but so do my children. I notice that there anger and acting out has significantly decreased since using your CD.
