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 back-beats. The songs are suitably contemporary and pleasing, providing a seamless background for teens to practice their new-found skills of affirmation, breathing, muscular relaxation, and visualization. - Jennifer Sommersby Young, Reviewed in Rewind Resource Guide 2006

 Indigo Teen Dreams: Diversity at it's BestJul 25, 2006
By Mary L. Whalen
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.

Indigo Teen Dreams: Affirmations, Deep Breathing, Relaxation and VisualizationSep 26, 2005
By CPTScott
As a parent, I would give this CD 10 stars because I think it is so valuable!
Lori Lite, the creator of Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams (as well as many other wonderful tools for children) 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 (which often lead to eating disorders),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.
By learning to go within and learn how to live from the inside out rather than from the outside in, teens can find a place that is always available to them, a haven to weather the storms of life. Even when they may not be dealing with a specific stressful event, these tools can help with the ability to concentrate and build a general sense of confidence.
When you connect with a place larger than the day to day dramas that can often swallow one up emotionally, you can live from a centered place, and that is true empowerment.
This program is also a wonderful tool for teens to use in order to relax into sleep after a stressful day (and parents may find themselves wanting a copy for themselves as well to help them deal with their own stress).
As with Lori Lite's other CD's, 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.
I only wish I had a tool like this when I was going through those difficult teen years, but I am grateful that my own children have Lori Lite's CD's available for them. My almost 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son have already been using both Indigo Dreams and Indigo Ocean Dreams and now my Son can use Indigo Teen Dreams as well. I will have a copy ready for my daughter so that she'll also have this available to her when she enters those difficult years.
Highly recommended!

Teen Stress Relief!Apr 10, 2006
By Monika
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. I was amazed at how easy it was for him to follow along. 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.

Great, even for younger kids!Jul 28, 2006
By J. Logston
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. THANKS!!

Indigo Teen Dreams- A Wonderful RelaxerJul 21, 2006
By Sarah Gerhard
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.
