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

 An amazing and powerful CD! May 8, 2010

Life can feel very busy for all of us, especially teenagers. Sometimes you feel like you are standing in the middle of a busy street with cars and people zooming past you. Horns are honking and people are shoving you. You feel as if you do not know which end is up and have no way of controlling the situation you are in. Luckily, with the help of Lori Lite and her inspirational CD, "Indigo Teen Dreams", you will able to escape the busy traffic and float into a world all your own. A world where you are in control of your own body. A world where you can be you. A world where you can finally be at peace with yourself.
As a teacher and an older sister to two teenagers and the creator/writer at [...], I have consistently been looking for a book, a CD, anything that young adults will listen to in order to build their self esteem and at the same time relax them from the stresses of everyday life. The search is over! "Indigo Teen Dreams" is top notch. From the moment you press play Lori Lite has provided a narrator who has a calm, even, steady tone to ease your mind. You cannot help but get wrapped up in the sound of his voice. The CD goes on and the narrator talks to the listener and not AT the listener. He is understanding and accepting which is something that teenagers long for every day. The narrator is able to make a connection with the listener and provide tips and words of encouragement for all. Combine this with the soothing background sounds and nature-like music that is provided and you have a unique CD that teens will actually listen to and learn from.
All teenagers should have this CD! It is a touching and personal experience that they should not miss out on. Encourage your teen to be open minded about listening to this CD. I guarantee that once they listen to the lessons Lori Lite provides they will feel empowered and start taking over their feelings, emotions, and everyday actions.
Indigo Teen Dreams is a Teenager MUST-HAVE!

Surprised me and my 13-year-old son! March 13, 2010
Blue Ribbon Cookies (Iowa, USA)

Note: I have two boys that I adopted internationally as pre-teens.
Wow! My 13-year old took the CD into his room to give it a try - he's usually pretty good about trying new things anyway so I didn' t think much of it. He'd tried another adult meditation CD and tolerated it. He still hated resting in the afternoon (I homeschool my kids) but if he doesn't get enough sleep he's a bear. OK, so he takes the CD into his room and I don't hear a thing for two hours. When he woke up he came out of his room grinning from ear to ear, saying things like "I am a good person," and "I make good choices," how the music is wonderful and makes him feel great, AND THAT HE CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE A NAP AGAIN TOMORROW. At first I thought he was joking ... but he was completely serious! He insisted that I listen to it, explained to me what "affirmations" are and what "visualization" is (English is his second language so these are big words for my son!). Then he hugged the CD. His attitude continued to be great all evening.
You would think that a teenager, especially a boy would think this is ridiculous. This total basketball loving, soccer playing, bow-and-arrow, rock throwing boy loves this CD. He's copied it onto his iPod (it's the only thing on his iPod) and listens to it each afternoon and falling asleep at night. I am amazed.
So then my 15-year old boy comes out of his week-long funk and decides to resume his daily 15-minute mediation. He's OK with this but would rather do something else, often fusses about it but then tells me later that he feels better after meditation (pretty typical all-over-the-board teen). I offer him his brother's new CD. He declines. I tell him to suit himself. He can't bear the suspense of knowing that his brother did something before him and tells me he'll try it, but then get out the old CD if this one doesn't work. He fell asleep within minutes of turning it on. When he woke up he tried to argue that it was no big deal, one meditation CD was just like the other. His brother sat on the bed and told him he was full of it, that it was a great CD. He then pumped his iPod up full volume so we could hear it and started chanting the positive affirmations. I told my older son that if the CD wasn't working for him that I would happily take it back. Well, no, he says, he's not ready to give it back to me. He wants to give it another try. Ha! I bet he'll be hooked in no time!
Give it a try for your stressed out teen. Give them quiet time to really listen to it. It was a pleasant surprise.

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.
Helped my child fall to sleep December 26, 2009

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.
 Fabulous and very helpful CD December 21, 2009

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.
