"Great Meditations, Audiobook Format Distracting"
I purchased this and the Bedtime Meditations for my kids who are 5 and 8, and they really enjoy it. I can see how it helps them wind down and we use in the car, really wound up, or when they're going to go to bed. The music and voice are calm and relaxing, and the kids have even started asking for it. I highly recommend the content for your children.
Things you should consider before downloading the Audible format.
- This is in a book format, so you can't put a single meditation in a iTunes playlist followed by other soothing music.
- The 8 chapters are not labeled, so you can't easily choose the meditation you want. You can't edit the chapter names to fix this.
- A meditation that has two chapters will have a gap of dead space with no sound between the chapters. The effect is the voice and music stop then start again. Very annoying.
- A little nit-picky, but the artwork that comes with the download is not what you see on the Audible site, it's a very low resolution picture of an older artwork. The text is illegible. You can't replace this.
Overall - great meditations. I wish I had found this earlier. To do it over again, I would buy the CD off of Amazon and not do the Audible Book download. I did purchase one of Cristiane's other CDs from Amazon and am much happier with that.
"miracle"
Sweet, melodic, miraculous
Jellyfish
Her accent and humour are charming and enchanting
My youngest wouldn't sleep... not for love or money but now with his request for "jellyfish" & just over 4 minutes, he is asleep and lets me leave...THANK YOU
"Peaceful rest time"
I regularly play one selection from this recording every day at rest time in my combined K-1 grade class. While first graders believe they have graduated from Kindergarten nap time, all of the children enjoy the guided imagery of these stories. They are soothing, imaginative, and wholesome. We all benefit from 12 minutes of quiet, dreamy relaxation time.
"Tools for life"
A a parent one to the greatest gifts we can give them are tools to deal with emotions and calm themselves. Christiane Kerr's story telling is an effective tool in helping my 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter wind down and pull themselves together - even during those times of hyper activity induced by over exhaustion.
"Wonderful!"
I put this on my 7 year olds mp3 player. He was asleep within the first 25 minutes. It is very difficult for him to fall asleep because he is so active. I recommend this to anyone who has children with trouble falling asleep!
