Product Description
PEACEFUL BEDTIMES / FASTER HEALING.... Start tonight!!
Airy Melody's musical narrative CDs are created with pediatricians. They use relaxation/healing techniques, such as guided imagery, that have been clinically proven to reduce anxiety, help listeners fall asleep, and accelerate the body s natural healing process. Recommended by doctors!
For children ages 6 to 11t
We have CDs for three different age groups, because a 7-year old is different from a 4-year old! Each CD features children s guided imagery and relaxation/healing techniques shown to be effective for that age group.
* The Swan and The Mermaid (ages 3 to 6)
* Rainbows and Sunshine (ages 6 to 11)
* Waves and Light (ages 11, 12, teen, and adult)
Hospital friendly
Children in medical settings may be sensitive to certain triggers. Our narratives were reviewed by hospital psychologists and pediatricians, and edited to their specifications, to make them safe for use in the home and in the hospital.
About Rainbows and Sunshine
Rainbows and Sunshine has two peaceful narratives designed to help children relax, heal, and fall asleep. These narratives were developed with the help of hospital pediatricians and child psychologists to help children cope with medical procedures, hospital stays, and everyday stress; and to help activate the body's natural healing process. Each narrative features different music and mind-body techniques to appeal to a wider audience.
Rainbows is an enchanting bedtime story in which the child drifts on a cloud, visits a rainbow, and relaxes in a cocoon of healing light. This story includes proven, age- appropriate, guided imagery/relaxation exercises, beautiful guitar and string music, and enchanting songs about nature. Children relax with positive, happy thoughts in their minds while practicing relaxation techniques they can use all their lives.
Sunshine is a calming narrative in which children are gently led through age-appropriate relaxation and healing exercises. This narrative is beautifully orchestrated with strings, flutes, and waves.
The optimum relaxation tempo
The compositions in both pieces were recorded at the tempo that has been proven to be the most effective at evoking the relaxation response through a scientific phenomenon known as 'rhythm entrainment.'
This CD is ideal for people who:
* Are sick or hospitalized.
* Have trouble relaxing or falling asleep.
* Have siblings, parents, or children who are sick or hospitalized.
* Have ADD, ADHD, OCD, separation anxiety, depression, or panic disorder.
* Are undergoing changes such as a new school, new child in the family, move, or divorce.
* Have a parent or spouse in the military.
* Are having a hard time at school or work.
* Are traveling.
* Are afraid of the dentist, doctor, the dark, nightmares...
* Are suffering from PTSD after a storm, military duty or other traumatic experience.
* Are undergoing medical treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy
* Suffer from asthma, IBS, or other chronic medical conditions.

 Soothing and effective!! April 6, 2010

This CD is incredibly soothing and relaxing, not just for children but for adults as well! I am amazed at how effective it is at calming children, especially at bedtime- I played Rainbows and Sunshine for four very energetic girls all under the age of 10 at bedtime, and they all calmed down and fell peacefully asleep before the story was even over. Even for adults, the narratives hold your attention better than the CDs of music and nature sounds that I have tried before, keeping distracting thoughts from entering your mind and allowing you to immerse yourself in the story and relax completely. The girls also enjoy that the speaker suggests things to do instead of commanding them, and they can personalize the story a little bit based on how they choose to visualize the scenes. I am especially pleased with this CD because it does not seem like "New Age hype", but uses obviously effective narratives and relaxation methods to get children to relax. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone with children!!

I was hoping that this would be a much better purchase for my family. I thought it would be mostly composed of relaxing music and nature sounds that appealed to and relaxed children but it was not. It opens with a woman's voice. She speaks very slowly and very hypnotically (for obvious reasons). My husband can't stand her voice and my child finds it creepy. I know she speaks this way to promote relaxation but I do think my husband and child have valid points.
I was really hoping this cd wouldn't be New Age type stuff. I bought it because it was specifically geared to children and was developed by pediatricians, but it is very New Age. It teaches your child to learn to wrap themselves in their "healing blanket" and envision themselves floating on their healing blanket in times of stress--just a small example of what I am talking about. I understand that they want to teach kids how to relax. I want the same thing (which is why I bought the cd in the first place), but I don't like the whole New Age undertone of it all--it clashes with my own beliefs. My child was very uncomfortable with it as well and for the same reasons. I was kind of surprised because I hadn't yet mentioned my concerns about the cd. The cd does teach a few common relaxation techniques (like tensing and then relaxing muscles to promote relaxation).
The "Sunshine" part or the second track has eleven minutes of talking and then fades out into the relaxing music and sound I was hoping for. However, we just don't bother using it at all.
I will not buy another of these cd's unless I can pre-listen to them. That option was not available at the time of purchase. I highly doubt, however, that they differ greatly from one another. I think the New Age tones would still be there.

I got these for my 5 year old granddaughter. They worked like magic, helping her settle down at bedtime, not waking up serveral times at night. The music, stories and soothing voice. are magnificent.
Really great CD for kids July 7, 2009

This is a great CD and is very well-produced. It is not only good for young children who would be lulled to sleep by the soothing music but also for older listeners who would find it relaxing to listen to at the end of a hectic day.
I would really recommend buying this CD. It is a real investment.
I highly recommend this CD; you will not be dissappointed! February 11, 2009

This CD is very soothing and relaxing. "Rainbows" is a peaceful story, with beautiful songs about sunshine and a rainbow. My children loved listening to the story and the songs; it relaxes children and puts them to sleep. The guitar parts were written and arranged by professional Boston musicians, and you can tell. (One of the musicians now plays lute with classical ensembles in New York city.)
Sunshine is more like a relaxation/healing narrative, except that the language used to describe the exercises is appropriate for children. Again, the music is soothing (keyboards and waves), and voice is very peaceful.
This CD is beautifully produced, and is perfect for this age group. It was reviewed by doctors (pediatricians and psychologists) to make sure that is appropriate for this age, and that it does not contain imagery that children in hospitals might be sensitive to. The narratives include scientifically-proven exercises; there has been a lot of research about the effectiveness of these mind-body exercises.
I very highly recommend this CD; you will not be disappointed!
