Imagine…

Flying a dragon over a huge mountain, riding a sea horse to the lost city of Atlantis, or being a superhero with magical powers.

Imagine learning how to make magical thought balloons or to use the enchanted sleeping cloak for a peaceful nights sleep.

This is the world of Indigo Dreaming. Indigo Dreaming – A Book of Meditations for Children is a fun and magical way to introduce children to relaxation and meditation. The book contains 49 fully guided meditations for children aged five to twelve.  It is an ideal resource for parents, teachers and health professionals.  The book includes activities, tips and information on how to begin and end a meditation. It is easy to read and simple to use.

Each meditation will take children on a different journey and explore a different life skill or value. Children will learn to use breathing techniques, muscular relaxation, visualisation and affirmations in order to relax their mind and body and to find that place of knowingness within. These meditations help children develop self-awareness, believe in their potential and encourage their creativity and imagination.

“ I have had the privilege of using these meditations wit children aged 4 to 11 years in the Rainbow Group and found them to be an inspirational and magical tool for parents, teachers and caregivers. The meditations are beautifully written and the children respond so positively that I have incorporated them into the Rainbow Program. These meditations expose children to a whole range of values, encourage relaxation techniques and ultimately allow children to use the power of their own imagination.”

- Sarah Waites, Children’s Coordinator, Australian College of Healing Arts

In A Magical Bedtime Story, the Rainbow Pixie has been developed to help teach children how to relax and meditate and features in our children’s introductory relaxation and meditation range called Indigo Dreaming.

Indigo teaches children to become aware of their body and to use deep breaths, visualisation and affirmations to consciously relax each body part. Most children will find it most comfortable and will find it most effective to stay on their back for the whole routine.

In this book, Indigo turns from lying on his back to lying on his stomach to provide a visual connection to the character.

The Indigo Dreaming CD contains the sound recording of Indigo Dreaming – A Magical Bedtime Story Book for Children, two awareness activities and a selection of visualisations to introduce children to meditation and relaxation techniques and to enhance their mind, body and spirit.
