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

If you could sum up Enchanted Meditations for Kids in three words, what would they be?

Sweet, melodic, miraculous

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jellyfish

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her accent and humour are charming and enchanting

Any additional comments?

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!

The voice is not soothing

The narration is great for a wakeful story, but it isn’t soothing for a bedtime or meditative moment.

really don't care for the story's Needs more Some

really didn't care for it at all it has no imagination and as far as being elephant you didn't like that

Wonderful for my 5 year old!

I use this recording and Bedtime Relaxations for Children after my son's bedtime story to lull him to sleep. It is rare that we make it through an entire chapter before he is asleep!

My children love this

Great to calm busy little minds! My children listen to this before going to bed and it's a great alternative to a bedtime story when they're overly active.

It works!

I have a ten year old daughter with a development delay and learning difficulties. Bedtime has been incredibly difficult as the days events manifest as a stress fueled melt down when her head hits the pillow. This download has helped her completely relax and fall asleep, she likes the way the lady says 'go' apparently! Now, if only there were a motion sensor attached to her kindle that would replay it every time she wakes in the night.... (She loves the fairies and mermaids meditation too, voiced by the same lady!)

Excellent Guided Meditation

Thank you dear Christiane, these beautiful meditations are perfect for children big and small. Parents will enjoy listening to them as much as the little ones. The music and magical stories are simply delightful.

Soothing and effective

My daughter uses this meditation every night to unwind and nod off. The narrator has a gorgeous, soothing Scottish voice.

Sleep inducing loveliness

relaxes and soothes my three girls working best with my 7 and 5 yr old. the 4 yr old finds it a bit difficult but has hearing difficulties. I find the 2 tracks, an inducement and visualisation is a lovely bedtime routine and it has been able to send my very active 5 year old to sleep and she struggles to wind down at the end of the day so that is simply fantastic.
