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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Book Description

Pema Chodron is one of the West's most beloved teachers of Buddhism, making the Tibetan vajrayana tradition accessible in today's world. Now, three of her most popular teachings are available in one boxed set. The Pema Chodron Collection includes: Pure Meditation - step-by-step instruction in Tibetan Buddhism's pinnacle practice for transformation and letting go; Good Medicine - teachings in tonglen, an elegant meditation that allows us to use our troubles to befriend ourselves and widen our circle of compassion; and From Fear to Fearlessness - offers an antidote to fear in the four noble aspirations - maitri (lovingkindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent resource for building self-esteem, fearlessness and working w emotions..........2007-06-24

This is a great collection by the warm, practical and humorous Pema Chodron. I work in the psychology field and Pema Chodron shares excellent practical advice as well as practices to cultivate unconditional self-love, universal compassion, tolerance for difficult emotions and ways of transforming negative internal states to positive ones.

There is nothing esoteric about these CDs and they can be enjoyed and implimented by anyone of any faith. The Dalai Lama has been quoted as saying his religion is "loving-kindness." This book is certainly written in this spirit. If you like Pema Chodron, you may also like Cheri Huber's work. The following books are particularly good... Making a Change for Good: A Guide to Compassionate Self-Discipline, There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate, Be the Person You Want to Find: Relationship and Self-Discovery and How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything: A Workbook.

Lastly, I want to mention that this set is a tremendous bargain. You get a lot of CDs with this and there is just enough overlap to develop concepts without hearing a lot of repitition. Highly recommended!

Pema explains so well and the techniques really work.......2007-04-22

I've been practising Tibetan Buddhist meditation and tonglen for many years. Even though these lessons are basic enough for beginners, they are useful and encouraging for more experienced practitioners, as Pema describes approaches different from ones I've learned. Its good to have options so that you can apply the most appropriate or most comfortable approach at any given time. I have not listened to the 3rd disc yet on facing your fears, but I'm looking forward to it.

a new way to deal with the world.......2007-02-13

I tend to take in the pain of others. Pema gives me a way of taking in the pain of living by breathing out compassion, a healthy way of handling that pain. I listen to the six CDs in rotation during my commute. I have ordered more of her CDs. No matter if the lessons are basically the same, just listening to her centers me.
If you are a religious person, please don't think that she is trying to convert you to Buddhism. She is just giving you a tool to get through the day. Nothing in her lessons contradicts any religion that believes in the practice of compassion.

Lovely Listening.......2007-01-28

In this wonderful collection, with warmth, humor, & kindliness, Pema gives down-to-earth ways to improve life through Buddhism: meditation (mindfulness, tranquil abiding & a bit of insight), the 4 Immeasurables (loving-kindness, compassion, joy, & equanimity) Bodhichitta, & Tonglen (sending and receiving) meditation. She explores Atisha's Slogans of (cf. her "Start Where You Are"), Lojong mind training (transforming obstacles into your practice; poisons into loving kindness & compassion). Tonglen (exchanging your joy for others' suffering) including on-the-spot Tonglen (done just when suffering appears) to subdue egocentricity & develop Bodhichitta/loving kindness. She espouses having the courage to experience discomfort, to change one's worldview, & face one's emotions squarely. Ani (honorific for a Buddhist nun) Chodron's wonderful turns of phrase include: "We look for strength in what weakens us, "We've gotten really good at making matters worse, "seeking happiness without a hangover. "the places of meeting your edge are the places of tantrum, & "emptiness is openness." She also provides valuable stories such as: the man who went into a coma, was moved elsewhere, woke up thinking he was dead, & lived the rest of is life that way.

She points out where her master, Trungpa Rinpoche digressed from the literal meanings of some of these practices & some changes suggested by the great 14th century master, Longchenpa (Longchen Rabjam). For example, the latter suggested meditating upon equanimity to establish stability prior to radiating loving kindness etc. Embedded in the technique is to radiate each item consecutively, but building up to stronger feelings within each sending--first apply it to someone you care about, then a neutral person, then someone you mildly dislike & finally to everyone. For example, compassion is the wish that everyone be free of suffering & the cause of suffering. Trungpa Rinpoche's modifications include: joy being the appreciation of peoples' basic goodness (empathetic joy IMHO). Joyfully, this set solves my usual problem with Pema's sets: that they're too short! I'd also recommend the 6-tape "Awakening Compassion" & "Noble Heart" sets. If you haven't had the great uplifting joy of experiencing Pema's tapes, this collection is a fine start.

Big fan of Pema Chodron.......2007-01-16

I have several of Pema Chodron cd's and she is very helpful in making mediation a workable practice. She addresses everyday issues in a humorous and down to earth manner.

helping hand.......2007-06-08

this is a great cd. you just listen to it and follow the instructions and can actually learn to meditate. great

breathless.......2007-04-12

This CD was recommended to me and I have heard good things about Dr. Weil, but I have to say the CD's were a let down. The lecture was too long and i thought it would have been better to simply be text. The actual breathing exercises were not that inspiring and quite short. Although it was instructional to go through the breathing exercises along with the CD it would have been better if that part was expanded.

Enjoyable and highly usable.......2006-02-24

Terrific 2 CD set - enjoyable to listen to, highly informative, short and sweet. You are on your way to using the techniques immediately. Nice addition to my "arsenal" of self-healing techniques.

Great for Beginners.......2005-11-06

I am just a beginner at Meditation, and I am trying to learn this for my health.
I think this is a good CD to listen to if you are just starting out. I got some good ideas from this recording, and I am sure I will be able to use what they taught.

Good introduction to meditation.......2005-03-29

This is a solid introduction to the practice of meditation. The first disc features Weil and Kabat-Zinn giving background information about meditation. The second disc features guided meditations. Like any spiritual practice, the more information an individual gets, the better he or she becomes at that practice. This set of discs is a good starting point that will get a person going into meditation immediately, which might lead the listener to pursue additional materials about spirituality.

Included are tips for choosing music and the various benefits of different music types.

Music with the Brain in Mind.......2007-01-10

This is an easily accessible book. It is written in a way that educates without being too academic. Along with scientific explanations of brain functions integrated with the effects of music are practical applications of various exercises. This book is a helpful addition to my professional library of early childhood education.

A Must-Read for Fine Arts Educators!.......2001-08-26

Jenson has updated much information in this quickly-read book. Anyone unfamiliar with his works will find this helpful; veterans of the topic will find new, useful "ammunition." Especially refreshing is the unbiased approach to the Mozart effect studies; a convincing view to show administrators because of its balanced presentation.

Making a case for music.......2001-04-02

Jensen continues to survey and summarise research studies on the impact of music and applies his gift in making them accessible to educators. He points out the common fallacy of considering music as a "right-brained" activity. Music affects many different parts of the brain. Only timbre activated the right hemisphere. Music enhances cognition, emotional intelligence, boosts peformance, heightens motivation. Reading, perception, motor skills, hearing, behavior and muscle strength are all influenced by music. Music also affects the immune system, stress, relaxation, blood flow and memory systems. You get wider coverage than Ch. 17 of the author's "Brained-based Learning". You get many different recommendations for choosing appropriate musical pieces. Overall, this is a valuable challenge and resource for educators. One regret is that, compared to the cheaper and most informative "Owner's Manual for the Brain" (P. J. Howard, 831pp.), I'm puzzled why this slim book should be so costly.

Music makes you smarter.......2000-09-27

Music with the Brain in Mind is a short book full of great information. Each idea is well documented with research. Many ideas are given for use of music and brain research at school, in the studio, and at home. This book makes me want to read more by Eric Jensen.

Book Description

National icon Willie Nelson has evolved over the years from country music outlaw swimming against a Whiskey River to a Zen-like figure of wisdom and contentment. In this autobiographical collection of life advice, The Tao of Willie, one of America's truest hearts reveals the spiritual and practical lessons learned from decades of hard knocks and good bounces.

This inspiring and entertaining collection of "Willie wisdom" takes us from his days as a young boy in Texas where he learns to respect his elders, to his roadhouse days when he united redneck rockers, long-haired hippies and straight-laced country music fans, to the mega-sized benefit concerts and environmentalism that define his boundless heart. And there are plenty of his favorite jokes along the way.

With stories that will both make you laugh out loud and look deep inside yourself, he shows us how the Willie way — and the way of the Tao — can also be your way. Let Willie's common sense approach to life awaken you to the happiness that already exists in your own heart. With Willie as your guide, join the river of life and you'll be carried on an amazing journey.

Backstage with Willie.......2007-09-11

I deployed to Afghanistan in May 2006. The morning of my departure, I received a phone call from both of the authors of this book. Willie and Turk wished me luck and a safe return on my journey. It was a memory that has been with me ever since. Just this past week, I had the fortune of getting to see Willie Nelson in concert (The Last of Breed Tour) for the first time in my 33 years. It was an amazing show and I also had the pleasure of meeting him backstage as he proceeded to the stage to perform with Merle Haggard and Ray Price. What an experience!
While on deployment I was able to read this book. There is little happiness in Afghanistan these days. But every night prior to lights out, I could always count on a smile and a reflection of my life through the words in this book. It was a pleasure to read.
To Willie and Turk...Thank you!

THE TAO OF WILLIE: A GUIDE TO THE HAPPINESS IN YOUR HEART.......2007-08-31

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND AM AMAZED AT THE WISDOM OF WILLIE. HE HAS CAPTURED GREAT DEPTH IN HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE TAO AND OFFERS IT IN SUCH A WILLIE-READABLE MANNER. THIS BOOK IS A TRUE JOY. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE.

This book is so much fun to read. Willie is such a wise man and has some great advice in this book. I would definitely recommend!

Delightful.......2007-01-06

I am a university professor and read many books, but I have not enjoyed a book this much for quite some time. It is a laugh out loud, down to earth book that brings one back to reality while having fun doing it. I put this book on my "read once a year" shelf, and sent copies to others. A quick read, and well worth it! Thanks for the good time, Willie.

Water Crystal Healing by Masaru Emoto.......2006-12-03

A well done research to prove that we are all affected by vibrations every moment in our lives. Water being the most abundant substance on earth forms different crystals when subjected to different vibrations. Hence, the music compilations ( 2 CDs) accompanying this book provides the healing tool for those who listen with their ears while enjoying the dance of the crystals (photographs in the book) with their eyes. A well invested book!

Book Description

This book is about the inner sources of spontaneous creation. It is about where art in the widest sense comes from. It is about why we create and what we learn when we do. It is about the flow of unhindered creative energy: the joy of making art in all its varied forms.

Free Play is directed toward people in any field who want to contact, honor, and strengthen their own creative powers. It integrates material from a wide variety of sources among the arts, sciences, and spiritual traditions of humanity. Filled with unusual quotes, amusing and illuminating anecdotes, and original metaphors, it reveals how inspiration arises within us, how that inspiration may be blocked, derailed or obscured by certain unavoidable facts of life, and how finally it can be liberated - how we can be liberated - to speak or sing, write or paint, dance or play, with our own authentic voice.

The whole enterprise of improvisation in life and art, of recovering free play and awakening creativity, is about being true to ourselves and our visions. It brings us into direct, active contact with boundless creative energies that we may not even know we had.

Creative Encouragement.......2007-06-29

Nachmanovitch writes from the perspective of a professional musician, yet makes it easily possible to transfer his ideas to any realm. Nachmanovitch's ideas are consistent with the thinkers today who believe we are in the Creativity Age, and that all people are creative.

The story of the flute player is skillfully woven throughout the book, and its meaning is clear and timeless.

Improvisation Revealed.......2007-01-11

This book basically tells you to get out of your own way and let your creativity flow! The author has a lot of information in it and I needed a couple of reads to get most of it. I thought it was wonderful, very well written, and the results can be very effective in life. My piano playing has gotten much more free and fun. I rarely play a song the same way twice - just let things flow. If you are into anything creative, I don't think you will be disappointed with this book.

I LOVE this book and keep it handy because it constantly leads me to my core and helps keep me real.

Play Freely.......2006-08-31

Great book to read if you have lost your spirit to play freely. The entire book can be summarized by the fable presented at the beginning of this book.
I often read the the fable to myself to be reminded of the free play spirit.

Divine Play.......2006-06-19

I have been buying books at Amazon for years, and this is the first review I ever felt compelled to write. Simply put, this is the book I buy and give to family and friends. The knowledge contained in this book is potent and reflect the juicy nuggets of a lucious truth that can be known and experienced in this life. Why just connect with the font of life when you can merge fully into it. I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

Sound therapy has been found effective in treating a surprising range of health challenges including heart disease, arthritis, stress, emphysema, and more. On Self-Healing with Sound and Music, bestselling author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil teams up with sound therapist Kimba Arem to offer listeners a powerful new tool for healing on two CDs.

On CD 1, Dr. Weil discusses the latest in medical research that demonstrates how music heals the body and mind. CD 2 gives listeners a complete "sound journey" into expanded states of consciousness optimized for healing. Through an integration of binaural beats, natural sounds, indigenous and classical instruments - and a state-of-the-art recording process called "holophonic technology" that creates a three-dimensional healing space - listeners experience "prescription strength music" with the power to influence every system of the body.

Soothing mind, soothing soul, opening heart........2007-09-13

When you play this CD you first notice that is speaks to your mind. Then you notice that it speaks to your soul and while soothing both mind and spirit. But what comes next is the real treat; it opens your heart and you expand to ride the vibrations of sound that Kimba has created for you. And it does feel like she composes and plays just for you. This is a must-have CD crafted by two very gifted teachers.

Focusing.......2007-08-17

I use this CD all the time at work to help me get in the focus zone.

excellent.......2007-04-05

I like the fact it's a 2-part CD- one explaining the vibrations of musical tones and their relationship to the chakras and how binaural music works on the brain. The second CD/the music is excellent as well and I found it extremely relaxing, not distracting as other CD's that proclaim their ability to relax you when in fact your attention is too much on what you're hearing. You find yourself easing in to a deeper state of relaxation because of the music-not inspite of it.

outstanding.......2007-03-08

This cd is wonderful. Dr Weil has a very calming and soothing voice - I love it!!!

WOW!.......2007-01-10

This is one of the most incredible pieces of music I have ever listenend to. I listen to it alot and never tire of it. The sounds are a unique assembly of instruments. They come together in such a way that I feel like I've taken a mini vaction after every listen.
