Indigo Teen Dreams Audio CD Endorsements

  • This CD saved my sanity. For over one year, my 12 year old had major problems going to sleep after starting middle school, going to sleep over 1 hr past her bedtime, and getting migraines the next day. It continued even into the summer, and I was getting less sleep too. I tried an amateur CD made by a therapist but it didn’t work; I was I went on Amazon and tried Indigo Teen Dreams the night that it arrived, and for 2 months now, my daughter has been able to put herself to sleep in 15-20 min with this CD! There are different tracks – intro, breathing, muscle relaxation, visualization, affirmation, etc. The techniques the kids use will be helpful to decrease anxiety before test, competitions, etc. The narrator’s voice is soothing but not creepy. I’m a physician and have recommended this CD to my teenage patients to help with sleep and not just pop a pill, and the adult Indigo Dreams for my adult patients.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My 13 year old son who has ADHD and anxiety disorders found Indigo Teen Dreams very helpful to go to sleep with and when he has an anxiety attack.

  • Used Indigo Teen Dreams every night for about a year now to help my teen sleep. Need I say more?

  • I know from actual teens that this is an amazing relaxation process! It’s very peaceful and understanding. It’s very good for teens dealing with anxiety, anger or just everyday stress! It really prepares you for everyday situations by teaching you breathing exercises and affirmations so you know what to do next time you feel stressed or anxious! A real winner!

  • I have the Indigo Dreams CD which I use in my psychotherapy practice with younger children. Many of them really enjoy the stories and have been helped with calming for bedtime. However I was excited to try using the Indigo Teen Dreams with some of my younger kids who really needed to know how to specifically practice the Relaxation techniques in order to apply them to other times of increased stress. I have been working with two bright 8 year old girls that have loved adding this CD to their options when feeling stressed or having difficulty sleeping.

  • I work with teens that are in foster care. I use Indigo Teen Dreams to introduce them to relaxation techniques. It is broken down in a way that helps them understand and try the techniques out. The teens that I have introduced it to thus far, have been open to at least trying it and once they have tried it they all say that really works. Excellent!

  • Obviously I highly recommend this Indigo Teen Dreams for any teen. – Great Stories – Great narration! – Great music! I never expected my son to want to listen more than once but I was willing to give it a shot. After all, I already invested thousands of dollars on therapy. To my surprise he loved the stories and asks for it every night. His whole outlook on life has improved and he is now telling me to breathe deeply and relax! Unbelievable!

  • I gave this CD to my neighbor’s son who is having difficulty adjusting to High School. He has thanked me several times saying that it is really making a difference for him. He says he feels much more relaxed and is sleeping much better! I then decided to give one to my daughter and although she slammed her door in her usual rebellious way I know that she is listening every night. I now have a 10 year old listening to “Indigo Ocean Dreams” and my teenager listening to “Indigo Teen Dreams”. My kids love the techniques, (so do I). They loves the calm voice and seems to connect with the reasons presented by the narrator as to why she they should actually do this. The narrator talks “to” teens not “at” them. The music is relaxing without being corny. A great series that I call “rescue stress relief”.

  • I am a senior in High School and I am really stressed out dealing with keeping my grades up, working part time, studying and taking my SAT’s. Now I am applying for college and I have not been able to eat or sleep much. My mom gave me Indigo Teen Dreams to check out one night when I was having trouble falling asleep. At first I didn’t want to listen, but after I couldn’t fall asleep again (I was thinking about my college applications), I turned it on. I liked the affirmations and the music that went with it, loved the visualization, it was easy to imagine and the colors felt great. I feel asleep in the middle of that track. I think any teen dealing with H.S. would enjoy this CD.

  • My soon to be 13 year old was having difficulty adjusting to the stress of middle school. Late night homework and projects made it difficult for him to shut his mind down for the night and fall asleep. I tried Indigo Teen Dreams after my nephew told me how much he enjoyed the visualization technique on the CD. He stated that he “never felt anything like that in his life”! My son loves the relaxation techniques and is now falling asleep quickly and peacefully. The speakers voice encourages and guides you (teens) through each exercise while reinforcing why a teen should want to do affirmations, breathing and muscle relaxing. This is a must have for every teen or pre-teen. It could really ease the transition and stress of adapting to middle school and high school.

  • 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 CDs. 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 which aids in their self-esteem. I would highly recommend them to all parents and children/Teenagers.

  • I recently purchased an Indigo Dreams Teens relaxation tape for my 14 year old daughter. She has always had problems settling at night time and often felt frustrated and angry. When I saw your CD I thought it would be an ideal way to help her to relax and to learn to deal with her feelings. Well it certainly did the trick and she sleeps really well now and I have noticed that she seems more confident and generally is a much calmer teenager. I would certainly recommend it to others to buy.

  • This is the ONLY CD for teens of its kind! I have read many books on parenting teens but Indigo Teen Dreams actually instructs your child on how to manage anger and anxiety. The techniques are the same I have been taught for stress management only they are presented in a teen friendly manner. Great voice, great directions, great music, great results. I and my teen are enjoying this CD.

  • As a parent, I would give Indigo Teen Dreams 10 stars because I think it is so valuable! Lori Lite, the creator of Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams, 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, 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. This program is also a wonderful tool for teens to use in order to relax into sleep after a stressful day. As with Lori Lite’s other CDs, 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. Highly recommended!

  • 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!
