Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation-Guided Meditation/Relaxation Techniques decrease anxiety, stress, anger
I bought this CD based on the reviews and was HIGHLY disappointed. I was looking for a Guided Meditation to aide me in relaxing and this does the opposite for me. It starts out with an “I Love Myself” mantra, aka “Affirmations.” The rest of the CD actually makes an attempt at guiding you through mediation but it serves, at least for me, only as a distraction. After giving it more chances, I found myself constantly questioning if the writer has ever meditated in her life. There is never silence, offering a chance to collect your own thoughts. Rather than bashing every track (which I could easily do) I will give one example. During the “Muscular Relaxation” track, the same saying is repeated over and over and over and over again for different parts of your body. There is no visualization and you know EXACTLY what will be said next after listening to the first three lines. In the end, I found that it makes me angrier rather than relaxed. Feel free to buy my copy.

Love it, love it, love it. My children have been using the Indigo Dreams CDs for years. They have had such a positive impact on my family that I finally decided to try one for myself. The exercises are doing the trick of helping me wind down from my daily stressful routine. I used to be up till 1 am thinking about tomorrow. Now, I look forward to getting in bed knowing the CD will help me stop thinking long enough to fall asleep. I love the visualization that is also designed to boost my immune system. All of the techniques are easy to follow and listen to. Music is also first rate.

I tried this CD for 2 reasons:
1)my kids love the entire “Indigo Dreams Series” and
2)I couldn’t wait to see if the adult version would be as impactful for me.
This CD was exactly what it claimed; straight forward, no-nonsense techniques for real people. This is the first CD that actually fit into my schedule by getting right to the point. The narrators voice was incredibly soothing and calming. That coupled with the easy to follow explanations and directions of the techniques and music was more than I expected! I learned four distinct techniques with each one taking only 10-15 minutes!
This is a winner for anyone looking for a way to fall asleep or manage anxiety and stress.

When I first popped this CD in, I absolutely hated it, and turned it off after one minute. Mind you, I have bought two other Indigo Dreams CDs for my young daughter, who loves them. I was so disappointed, I was tempted to return.
Fast forward six months. I have a health crisis and am urged to listen to relaxation CDs. I give this one another chance, and just past the point where I first ejected it comes a line ” you may find you can only listen a few minutes at first…” I laughed, and continued. Now I crave this CD – I sleep better after listening, and the concepts percolate into my mind during my day. Highly recommended.

As a single mother and a manager in a Technical Support department, I have quite a bit of stress in my life. I used to take it all with me at the end of the day and often ended up continuing to “work” all through the night. This has been a tremendous help in guiding me to relax at the end of the day and just let go of all the stress and worries. The more I use it, the easier it is to relax – both at the end of the day and when I find myself in stressful moments during the day. I am now trying the Indigo Dreams children’s version with my kids to help them calm down and get ready to sleep. I really like the positive nature this takes in empowering the listener to direct herself.
