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
I only listened to it once; it’s a christmas present for my two teens. It was ok.

I bought this CD because I enjoy Lori Lite CDs. I previously purchased Indigo Ocean Dreams, and Garden of Wellness. This was just as good at getting me to relax. Granted, I am not a teen, I am in my 40s. I could understand that some reviewers would feel it may be a bit childish for some teens. But for others, it might be just perfect. My guess is it would depend on the individual teenager, so I wouldn’t dismiss it outright. Although it’s not my favourite, it really does make me feel calm. Especially the part which is only music, it has a very surreal quality.

My child tends to be naturally anxious. When she skipped the 8th grade and went into 9th it was such a change in schedule and class/grade expectations that the additional stress caused some insomnia and the lack of sleep ended up causing more stress.
Around that time, through my job, I attended a stress management seminar. One of the techniques of reducing stress was guided meditation. We were encouraged to lie on the floor with a pillow that we were told to bring. The instructor said that some find guided meditation so relaxing that they’d fall asleep. I figured it’d be relaxing but no way i’d fall asleep in the middle of the day. The only reason I did not fall asleep is because I fought it. If I had let myself go completely – I would have been out. It was SO relaxing and I felt so refreshed when the seminar was complete that I immediately starting searching for something age appropriate for my daughter.
This is the product I purchased. My daughter is a young 13 and I can still recall the look on her face when I gave her the CD…something along the lines of a mocking ‘yeah, whatever.’ There was no mocking the next day. She fell asleep before the CD ended and has not had a problem sleeping since. To this day I don’t think she’s made it to the end of the CD. If she’s really stressed she’ll follow the guided relaxation, but often she’ll just put the CD in and let the voice lull her to sleep. She finds the man’s voice very peaceful and relaxing. I bought this 3 months ago and she listens to it nearly every night. Well worth the purchase.
Rating: 5 / 5
This CD provides some needed ideas for teenagers and is geared toward their lifestyle. Though it could have included some more information on dealing with peer pressure that I would have liked to see, it otherwise is a great CD with relaxation techniques and a soothing voice to follow.
