Book Description

Focus, Focus, Focus! You will only have significant success with something that is an obsession. Success comes from having passion and having fun creating your objective!

Words of Wisdom is a collection of inspirational aphorisms, which Rev Run sends out to his closest friends each day and which were made suddenly popular when his television show zoomed to the top of the MTV charts. Rev Run (an ordained minister) closes each episode of Run's House by reading philosophical, Christian, and inspirational books in the bathtub before penning words that inspire, encourage, and motivate. Here, available for the first time to the public, are Run's Words of Wisdom published in a gifty yet affordable format just in time for the show's second season.

All great blessings come from being at peace. When the day is over, go to sleep. Never sit up worrying about tomorrow. Work hard and let God do the rest. I always say these words at night: "I can sleep tonight because God is awake!" Relax. Rest easy.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-09-30

I bought this CD for use as a relaxation activity in an early childhood classroom for 3 to 5 year old children and it's wonderful. If I could give it more stars, it would have 10! This would be great for your child to listen to at night to help them wind down for bedtime, or in the afternoon for a rest time activity, and it's great for the classroom. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Great for my 3 yr old!!.......2007-09-25

I have an especially bright but anxious 3 1/2 yr old. I wasn't sure whe was going to take to this cd even after I listened to it. But she LOVES it and goes to sleep every night listening to it! I think it gives her something other than monsters to think about as she is falling asleep. We have been nightmare free wince we got it a week ago!!! I am thinking of making a copy for my 9 month old to listen to in our room as well.. the voice is so soothing and maybe she will like it as too!

5 out of 5 stars Soothing and relaxing for little ones.......2007-09-23

I love these cd's. I got this for my 5yr old because he is highly sensitive. After the daily stresses of (to him) loud noise, ugly smells, crowed class rooms, this cd helped him make it through kindergarden. And now he's enjoying first grade. I don't know what I would of done without Indigo Dreams.

4 out of 5 stars A nice cd.......2007-09-08

My kids and I have listened to this, and it's very relaxing. My 4-yr-old son and 8-yr-old daughter have both been fairly wiggle-free during listening. It's a nice wind-down at the end of the day. Sometimes the speaker seems a little too slow-talking for me, but when I just relax and calm down, it doesn't bug me as much. I very much enjoy relaxation and visualization techniques, and am happy to pass along the benefits to my kids.

5 out of 5 stars Great for 4 year olds and 30 year olds!.......2007-06-22

I bought this for my 4-year-old daughter who is high-spirited and has a hard time settling down at night. She loves this. We keep the CD on "repeat" through the night. That way if she wakes up, she just listens to the CD and it puts her back to sleep. No need to come to Mom and Dad's room! Yay! It's also the only meditation CD that I enjoy, for myself.

In order to call themselves good Christians, many people have drawn overly flexible boundaries (unwilling to say no, always accommodating others' needs) or overly rigid boundaries (to the point of being righteous and judgmental). Psychologists and inspirational speakers Cloud and Townsend show readers how to set reasonable boundaries in order to follow the true path of Christianity. This book has become immensely popular, most likely because it makes personal boundaries easier to define and is filled with spiritual purpose. Some cautions: the format can be overly self-helpish for such a complex discussion and the authors at one point imply that judicious spankings may be an acceptable form of setting boundaries with children. However, many Christians will probably find themselves grateful for this biblical context of boundaries. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

The full-size edition of this inspiring Zondervan title has sold nearly 1 million copies. The Gold Medallion award-winning Christian book, by two psychologists who've written a number of self-help guides, offers a realistic, compassionate plan for setting healthy boundaries with family, friends, and co-workers.

3 out of 5 stars Beware iPod Users.......2007-09-28

The content of this set of 10 CDs is wonderful!! The problem is that each disk has between 45 and 70 tracks which are titled: Track 1, Track 2, etc. So... when you download them to your iPod, they get sorted alphabetically and you get Track 1 (from disk 1), Track 1 (from disk 2), etc. You have to either download one CD at a time, or rename all the tracks. It was very time consuming and disappointing not to have all I wanted in an organized way to download to my iPod. Just be aware when you buy these CDs.

1 out of 5 stars Itty bitty book .......2007-09-28

Got to have good eyes to see the print.

My bad... did not realize it was a Brief on the Large one.

Makes a nice little accessory sitting next to Librarian Barbie... makes her look so smart.

5 out of 5 stars Great Condensed Version.......2007-09-27

Mistakenly I ordered this book thinking it was the "real" book that had been recommended for us in class, several people have recommened it to me and I have recommended it to people every day...It's really been neat to share with others who are not going to read the "real" version. The people that have recommended it to me have laughed when they saw how small it is and even a child asked me to read this to her thinking it was a child's book....I really must get the original version. The small condensed version was great, fantastic, awesome for anyone to read. Please read if you are married, not married, in ANY kind of relationship with ANYONE...

1 out of 5 stars boundaries.......2007-09-23

totally disappointed that the book was only a "miniature" version of the full size book. Nothing prepared me for that. I felt totally misled!

5 out of 5 stars You'll never get tired of listening to this one!.......2007-09-09

Wonderful help in working out why you are the way you are and how to deal with others successfully. Empowering. Helps you get your thinking straight on relationship issues. While the focus is Christian, it is also appropriate for anyone and would not be offensive or difficult for the non-Christian or agnostic/aetheist. The narrator's voice is somewhat annoying, however, eventually you get used to it. What he is saying is so worthwhile!

Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

Now on CD, the best-selling Power of Now shows how a combination of Buddhist principles, meditation theory, and relaxation techniques can connect a person to “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” “A reminder to be truly present in our own lives.... The result? More joy, right now.” — O: The Oprah Magazine

5 out of 5 stars Truely transformational - a practical approach to Spirituality.......2007-09-27

I was reading "I am that" by NisargaDatta Maharaj and was thinking about and trying to grasp, what he says - about just being the "witness" and at the right moment, one of my dear friend handed this over to me.
This book explains it. I dont claim that I am realized after reading this, but now I am confident I am on the right path towards the goal.

This is truely a transformational book. This is the practical guide to understand the mysteries behind teachings of great Masters. My approach towards looking at my life, rather towards every moment of my daily routine, is changed. It started answering my questions right from the first page and now I can apply this principle and answer many questions I have been having about stuff like "Why would creating music be transcendental" - 'why does one feel so passionate about his/her job and get satisfaction out of it'. 'why do people become instant heroes in emergency situations' - The answer - 'power of now.'
Read it and apply it in your daily routine and I am sure happiness (the inner one of course) and peace would be yours to keep.
Enjoy.
I would recommend "I am that" - a collection of talks of Shri. Nisargadatta Maharaj, along with this book. You will have no more questions in your life about why things are the way they are.

Wish you the best for your quest.

5 out of 5 stars Keep it Simple.......2007-09-25

Here are some powerful words.

accept always attention becomes between beyond body cannot change come conscious consciousness course create death deep deeply does ego emotion energy even ever fear feel feeling find form free future get give go god happens human ing inner itself know level life light live long longer love may means mind moment need negativity nothing now own pain part past patterns peace people person physical point power presence present problems reality relationship resistance say see self sense situation something space state still suffering surrender take things think thinking thought time true unconscious unconsciousness unmanifested use want without word world yourself

According to Amazon, these are the most commonly used words in one of the most profound books I have ever read, "The Power of NOW," by Eckhart Tolle. Its simplicity appeals to me. In a world gone mad with ritual, my poor little mind needs simplicity!

As I study different spiritual traditions, I am stunned at the shear weight of them. Nothing is ever thrown away! If an old belief is superseded by a new belief, they exist together in mutual conflict. Inconsistency is piled upon inconsistency.

If I were to seriously practice some of ancient traditions, such as kundalini yoga, I would shortly feel imprisoned. Who could possibly become enlightened when there is so much that must be accepted? If enlightenment is the goal, and the path entails letting go of our attachments, then why have so many attachments to carry down the path?

Using kundalini yoga as an example again, I love many of the meditation practices I have learned from teachers in that tradition. What I find cumbersome are the doctrines, beliefs, and traditions surrounding the practices. To me a good meditation practice works because it fits like a comfortable shoe. A shoe does not care what I believe!

I know that not every one is like me. And I know that I secretly believe everyone should be like me. And I know there are those who thrive in structured systems of belief. But by the time I read about the chakras, the nadis, the related astrological signs, and how the stars affect our karma, I want to sit under a tree and quietly meditate! Or I want to dance. Or I want to sing. My poor little head whirls at such a vast amount of knowledge. Please just let me be happy!

I suppose it is human nature to make things complicated. For example, the simple message of Christ is so hidden that one can get lost in a sea of interpretations. And when this happens, rather than sailing the course of love, which Jesus preached, we risk becoming lost in the treacherous waters of doctrines. As for the Four Noble Truths of Buddha, they are now closer to the Four Thousand Obscure Truths. Perhaps it is human nature to make things complicated, but it is my nature to make things simple, which means I am either inhuman or that I will soon complicate my need to make things simple.

But, if I do complicate the simple, I can always read "The Power of NOW" again. And I will be reminded that my beliefs are not the truth. My beliefs are only beliefs. And I will be reminded to breathe and to be still. That is simple.

Thank you, John C. Conley, author of "Letters to My Friends: A No Guarantees Guide to Awakening."

4 out of 5 stars Great self-help book........2007-09-18

I enjoyed this book immensely. It's somewhat cerebrally written but not academically so that it's too obtuse. Tolle does a great job of talking about "now" and getting out of your mind and into your life. I'd recommend it for everyone.

5 out of 5 stars The real thing.......2007-09-18

Peaceful and powerful. The audio book version is best. You will know it is the truth when you hear it.

4 out of 5 stars We always knew this....but never realized it........2007-09-11

One of the greatest books ever written.
Timeless wisdom revealed once again.
As Tolle coaxes and leads us to the 'Now', the power of realization strikes us with great intensity.
Truly, only NOW exisits.
This book can change your life !

5 out of 5 stars Science of positive reinforcement.......2007-08-01

Aubrey Daniels offers an insightful look at the behavioral school of management, and its key tools: positive, and negative reinforcement. The book covers how to link rewards to behaviors you want to reinforce, when to deliver them, and how to design systems to support them. While not without its flaws, the book is well written and offers plenty of practical advice - if you're an aspiring manager, or a seasoned veteran, 'Bringing Out the Best in People' is a solid investment of your time.

5 out of 5 stars Clarity, results, contribution.......2007-07-04

This is an essential text for anyone who manages people. Daniels is clearly 'for' creating a workplace that taps the innate desire to contribute and against one run by fear. I've seen nearly 35 years of organizational life, as employee, manager and consultant. That's a lot of fads, slogans and philosophies. This book is the real deal.

When people are managed using these clear, rigorous, objective principles, stress and interpersonal barriers decrease, work exceeds expectations. I also recommend Dr. Marshall Rosenberg's "Nonviolent Communication".

1 out of 5 stars Based on a flawed worldview.......2007-04-02

I started reading the book as a part of my personal development with the company that I work for. The book is founded in behaviorism, and does not stray from the concepts associated with this worldview. My issue with it is that I believe that people are more than a reaction to the things that happen to us. We have unique personalities, and they consist of more than the conditioning that they are subjected to. This psychology takes away the idea of free-will and choice, and eliminates personal responsibility. When it comes to managing people, I believe that these are important elements to tap into. This behaviorist approach to management may look good on the surface, and make logical sense, but is flawed by its nature, and cannot have any long lasting impact.

5 out of 5 stars Good book but not as good as her other book.......2006-03-02

This book is a fine book if you are looking for the typical book written for lazy minds. The material is good, the presentation is great. However, there is a lack of references and detail that someone really interested in the material will desire. If you like pop-culture books get this one. If you want a terrific book that appeals to your brain then get the authors other book, "Performance Management." It is exceptional.

I have used Bringing Out the Best in People throughout Latin America and here in the States for several years. When I have control of a client project, this book is required reading. I get groans at first from supervisors and managers, but it is amazing what happens after they read it. They come back and immediately start talking about NICs, PICs, etc. It is fun but keeps me on my toes from that point forward as they watch my every move!

Although Daniels talks of motivating and brining out top performance from individuals within organizations, the concepts definitely applies and should be used in personal/family relationships as well. The concepts even hold true as I train my dog and two macaws as uncertain/certain, future consequences do not work for them! The beauty is that this book makes you stop and think.

5 out of 5 stars Even the young feel stress.......2007-09-23

I got this for my 9yr old to help him get to sleep on school nights when he claimed he wasn't tired. It worked like a charm. Every night he would try to stay awake to hear it to the end. Two months later he is still trying to hear the end. I also have Indigo Dreams for the younger kids for my 5yr old. When he went to his first sleep over I sent it with him just incase he started feeling scared at bed time. The friends mother said he didn't need it but listened to it herself and loved it and asked where I got it. She had a 10yr old who was having trouble the night before she had a test. I offered her this cd for a few days. When she returned it she informed me she had purchased both for her kids. Keep up the great work. Highly recommened.

5 out of 5 stars Tranquility!.......2007-09-14

I bought this for my kids after they grew tired of my own, self-published children's books, "The L'il Zombie" and "Flesheaters from Candyland." They now have the placid demeanor of Herbalife franchisees, though actually scaling those heights may be tough for them later in life.

4 out of 5 stars Indigo Ocean - Children's Stories.......2007-08-29

I bought this as a gift for a friend's children they Love it, asking to listen to it each night.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-06-12

I've never written a review before but this CD was so great. I rely on these reviews to buy so I know how important they are. I bought the CD because my 8 year daughter old has been suffering from "tummy aches" and panic attacks at night. She really enjoyed the stories. The guided meditations helped calm her down. My 5 year old son just enjoyed listening to the bedtime type stories as he drifted off to sleep. He requests to listen to it several nights a week and doesn't seem to get sick of it. They love them so much I'm going to try the "sister" cd next. Great buy!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD for children!!! (even adults/family).......2007-05-14

Our four children; age range of 5 to 12 years love this CD. The stories and then the relaxing music at the end is fantastic. We have everything from a stressed out "tween" to a hyper 5 year old, and they feel that the music combined with the relaxing voice of the stories really help them. We put the CD on when they are playing in their rooms and my husband and I agree that the messages on this CD give them such a different feeling about themselves, always positive. We give this information a 5* rating, we love it as a family of 6.

5 out of 5 stars Affirmations are wonderful.......2007-04-24

This is another great product by Louise Hay. The wonderful affirmations are well-done because they give you the mindset of how to think positively and how to create what reality you chose. The author's affirmations are uplighting and can create light in anyone's life. I agree with a previous reviewer that constantly going over affirmations can really change your thinking and thus you're realty in a positive way. What a helpful product!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Prompt & Pretty.......2007-02-26

Thank you for sending this item in a prompt fashion. It looked good and will be put to good use.

5 out of 5 stars In A Word: Powerful!.......2007-02-25

I rarely give anything I review 5 stars. Usually there is something that I think could be just a little bit better. But that is not the case with these wonderful cards by Louise Hay. They are simply the most positive and powerful set of affirmations I have ever come across. I have seen affirmation cards that are too short or too general. I have seen affirmation cards that are too long or too detailed. But these cards are, in my mind, perfect. You get the basic idea on one side, with a more expansive thought on the back. Pick a card daily, read it, take it to heart, and I assure you that your life will be enhanced -- more peaceful, more joyful, and creatively powerful. Thank you, Louise, for these eloquent and charmingly elegant cards!

4 out of 5 stars Thoughts Have Consequences.......2006-06-24

I have used these cards for about six months now in all sorts of situations. I find the repetitiveness useful. Marketing studies will tell you that people need to hear a message about 23 times before it becomes 'embedded' in their thought processes and they actually act on it. We are bombarded with all kinds of affirmations positive and negative, so many in fact that we can't even begin to count them. Here is a very easy way to set the tone for the day or a conversation or a project, to broach a difficult discussion or to prompt a written inspirational essay. What is true is that on a particularly hectic day you'll find yourself repeating a power thought that has maintained a particular appeal for you, and you will find yourself breathing more easily and getting through what may be a very difficult moment. I've bought two sets, one to keep and one to give away and I have a feeling this friend will not be the last one I buy them for!

4 out of 5 stars ...there's no place like home....there's no place like home..........2005-07-28

Like Dorothy, I wish I could just click my heels and say any affirmation on these cards, and somehow it would manifest itself. I am a student of many self-help books and these cards remind me of some of the ones I have read. I'm sure the author of the cards has read and used many of them herself. If, like me, you are also a fan of Tarot Cards, maybe you could use this deck to do a "reading" of sorts, draw some squares on a large sheet of paper, and label each one as an aspect of your daily life....job, relationship, children, parents, friends, inner self, and so on, and then place a card on each square you have and see how the saying on each card relates to it. It might be interesting! DISCLAIMER...If you are some religion which forbids the idea of fortune-telling or divination then don't do this, and don't say I made you do it. Thank You.
The cards are very pretty, I found the colors to be enchanting, but the sayings were repetitive, and I think they were designed that way on purpose because there is always more than one way to say the same thing. Every person is different in the way that they will respond to a given statement, and if the author did the same affirmation six or seven different ways, maybe she figured it would reach more people that way. Try them yourself and see what you think....they're nice cards!

Book Description

It is not by accident that you just picked up When God Winks. Whether you call it synchronicity or coincidence, what brought you to this book today is worth remembering. In fact, you may have suspected all along that there is more to coincidence than meets the eye. These seemingly random events are actually signposts that can help you successfully navigate your career, relationships, and interests. SQuire Rushnell shows us that by recognizing our "God Winks," we can use the untapped power of coincidence to vastly improve our lives.

The author applies his compelling theory as to why coincidences exist to fascinating stories in history, sports, medicine, and relationships involving both everyday and famous people including Barbra Streisand, Charles Schulz, Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Costner, Mark Twain, and Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

1 out of 5 stars Quite Disappointing.......2007-09-28

This book was extremely disappointing. I was very excited about it. I've had times in my life when I KNOW the Lord has worked and I was hoping this book would help me be more in tune to the Lord's work in my life and help me see specific situations I may have missed. What a joke!!!

The book seems to be more of a manual for how to use coincidences to do what you want and feel good about it. Many of the examples of "God Winks" lead people to do things that our Lord would not approve of (one example being divorce).

But my biggest complaint is that the vast majority of the author's examples of "God Winks" comes from the rich and famous. I got the impression that the author apparently can not even relate to or understand the work of God in the average person's life. This mistake on the author's part could lead to a reader becoming hopeless rather than hopeful that the True God is working in their life.

I did not come away from the reading believing that the author knew and understood the True God of the Bible, though I did gain some benefit from reading the book. Reading it did remind me that God does work in my life in a personal way and that I need to always be looking for that work - and more importantly that I need to acknowledge, cherish and remember that work.

I would like to share two instances that I know God worked in my life. One could be considered a "coincidence" but the other is just God's work. And both are simple, average examples of the Lord working in an ordinary person's life. They do not describe any life-changing events, but they are God's work non-the-less.

1) My car - a Subaru Justy - was doing it's job getting my family of 5 around (two in car seats!). We joked about it being the clown car because we could all squeeze in and it looked funny; all of us piling out. The driver's side seat belt broke. We called to find out how much it would cost to fix and discovered that we really, really could not afford it, but what else could we do? Days later we received a letter in the mail informing us that the seat belts had been recalled and we could have it repaired at a dealership for free. What a BLESSING! This seems like a coincidence (or a "God Wink") but I took it for what it was....the Lord watching over us and taking care of our needs.

2) Shortly before my grandfather died we made a trip to visit him. He was my favorite person in the world. The whole time we were there (as other times before) I would get on to my boys for being loud and rambuctious. My grandfather would sit in his chair in the living room and seemed to be sleeping. He was very frail. I was afraid that my boys would bother him. At one point the boys came bouncing loudly into the room. As I was about to get on to them and scold them for being loud I looked over at my grandfather. He was sitting in his chair laughing! He was wasting away at the end of his life, yet he was enjoying his grandsons' romping around his house. That was pure gold to me. You can't call this a coincidence. You could call it a "God Wink", but after reading Rushnell's book I have an aversion to that term. God did move and speak into my life, but it was absolutely nothing like what Rushnell describes in his book.

I could give many more boring examples of how God has worked in my ordinary life. They probably wouldn't be as appealing as Rushnell's examples because they weren't coincidences on my path to being rich and famous. But they are real examples of a real God working in an ordinary person's life. And they didn't lead me to do something that God would not approve of, quite the opposite. All of the personal experiences I've had with God working in my life have led me away from sin and toward God.

All that to say that if you believe in the God of the Bible don't waste your time reading this book. Instead spend the time really thinking on and praying about how the Lord has worked in your life. Thank Him for it and rejoice!

5 out of 5 stars Inspiration in a Wink.......2007-03-16

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a quick read and has a lot of short stories to illustrate how God is making Himself known in our lives. I came away with the hope that the coincedences in my own life really are signs that God is touching my life.

1 out of 5 stars Not the best out there........2007-09-04

This is about the 5th meditation cd I've purchased. This one was hard to follow and just wasn't as effective as others I have. If you are considering this one, I'd keep looking.

5 out of 5 stars Guided meditations.......2007-03-24

I have been on my own trek of spirituality with the practice of daily meditation. Shakti Gawain's CD is fantastic for those starting out to get the feel of meditation and her calming voice helps guide your thoughts and gets you in motion to experience rest, relaxation and the law of attration. I highly recommend this CD!

3 out of 5 stars Pretty good CD, but not in my opinion not everything some people say it is.......2007-03-20

I found this to be an average CD on visualization techniques. The tone is encouraging and the author's voice is relatively soothing. I have seen in some reviews that this CD has everything you need to meditate. While it is a decent introduction for some specific audiences, it only represents a small subset of techniques, traditions and methods. I know this because I have been studying meditation for years and I give meditation workshops. I also do this type of work with individuals and have a background in psychology too.

If you are looking for an encouraging introduction to visualization, which is one form of meditation, this is a pretty good place to start. It will definitely help you learn to relax and to concentrate. However, there are other CDs and meditation courses out there that are better for this purpose.

Personally, I like Shakti Gawain's book much better than this CD. However, if you are new to this area, this might be just right as a good beginning. Obviously, other people have a different opinion of me, but I pretty much review all the important things in this genre that come out and I can't say I completely share their enthusiasm.

4 out of 5 stars A good beginners introduction to meditation.......2007-03-18

Shaki Gawain's Creative Visualization meditations audio gives examples of about all the types of meditations that one can find out there. There is here a good start for any beginning meditator. This audio is like a brief wind that can carry one further as one finds more and more ways to go deeper into the mystery of the self in one's own meditations. The only possible caution that can be found here is a self interest of a meditation trying to bring about a affirmation of physical manifestation of desire (with its aversion) with her bubble meditation. All and all this audio is great for beginners and everyone who may like to meditate.

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational!.......2007-03-13

I highly recommend this cd for anyone who wants to lead a more fulfilling life through positive thinking. Each track is like its own special journey that Shakti takes you through - her voice is extremely relaxing, which makes ti easy to focus and meditate. I especially like the "Pink Bubble" exercise.

1 out of 5 stars Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation.......2007-09-28

This was one of the worst 'relaxation' techniques I have ever experienced. I would rate this <1, but that was not a choice. I bought two different CDs on the same day and I have listened to Indigo Dreams only twice; the first time I turned it off and the second was to make sure I heard it correctly the first time. This CD is useless to me, since I bypass most of it. The breathing exercises are absolutely horrible; the counting seems to make you FORCE your breath, as opposed to relaxing and allowing your body to do what's natural. I would not recommend this for anyone.

5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!!.......2007-08-02

I remember when I was going thru the most difficult time in my life as was my 4 year old daughter when I divorced 4 years ago. The childrens Indigo Dreams was a miracle worker in getting rid of her nightmares and just getting her to sleep and deal with all her emotions of losing the only home she knew and parents going thru the most difficult time in their lives. I had wished there was an adult CD that could do for me what this one did for her I even listened to it with her b/c it was so effective for her!! LOL

Now 4 years later being in a different space in my life I was looking for something to help deepen my prayer and mediation. B/c I am a home health nurse in the most populated area for the elderly so my patient load can really stress me out this CD is a Godsend!

Years ago my mother who was a yoga teacher referred me to a breathing class with what she said was such an excellent male teacher to help me breath correctly to release my stress. Well I paid 60 dollars almost 10 years ago for that class and this CD gives me that and I can replay it to integrate it to habit. The class was not nearly as informative. What I enjoy most about this CD is the soothing voice while actually teaching you while relaxing you it is amazing how deep I have been able to go and feel like I had a full night's sleep afterwards!

I paid 60 dollars for one breathing class and this gave me 4 classes in one that are everlasting. I especially loved the visualization class on this CD. I have always wanted to know the chakra system but could not remember each of the colors that coordinate with the parts to relax to and just a 5 times in listening to this CD and I have it down pat!

And what I have been doing is leaving the last track on repeat and just floating all night long. B/c I have had a hysterectomy I wake up all night long well since I got this CD a few days ago I slept all night long!!! That is what inspired me to write this review this morning at 6 AM. I am about to go do my diabetic patients and I have sooo much energy b/c all night I was starting to wake and immediately was lulled back to sleep with what I call the floating music on the last track. That was what I LOVED about my daughter's indigo dreams CD and now I have one to not only help me relax but teach me how to relax and distress all the way down to the cell level

Thanks LORI LITE you NEVER disappoint me! I give your CDs to all my friends and patients who tell me about their children and grandchildren going thru difficult times for sleep or stress well now I have an adult one to refer and give for birthday gifts and "just because" gifts! Thanks so much!! Lite books I was really impressed!

I purchased this CD based on the positive reviews I read and the positive results I have seen with my twin daughters who listen to the Indigo Dreams CD for children. Having a very stressful life as a full time physical therapist and a full time job at home as a mom with a 7yr. old boy and two 5 yr. old twin girls I look to calm down at bedtime swiftly.
The muscular relaxation track is well done. I have the experience of attending several stress management classes. The teachers remind us that breaking down the body in sections to relax adequately is the right way it should be handled. I see that in this CD the author follows the same pattern.
The breathing exercises are on track. They are definitely welcoming and encouraging. First the narrator instructs you on correct breathing. Next the focus is on breathing exercises. Its great how the instructor guides you through 3 breaths at a time with intervals of rest. It is just enough breathing for me and I can actually feel my heart rate decrease to a nice resting pattern and I know I am relaxing!
The visualization track guides me through an exercise of seeing and experiencing different colors. You actually react to the visualization of color! Its great how this author picks up on the whole body internally as well as working on the muscular system.
Many nights I like to listen to music to rest. I like the music track I have from this Author. They run 12-15 minutes. The music is really soothing to my nerves. It would be a plus to have another CD of music! Who knows I will pay attention to this group maybe they will do this for their next CD.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Meditation CD I've Ever Listened To.......2007-06-28

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.
