EAMom Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I just ordered Ocean Dreams from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Indigo-Ocean-Dreams-Self-Esteem-Self-Awareness/dp/0970863365/ref=pd_sim_b_1 There's also a CD for younger kids, and another for teens. It doesn't seem like something my dd would like...but the reviews were good so I figured it's worth the $16 experiment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarchcat Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I used a few different meditation/relaxation cds with my son when he was younger. I know we have Indigo Ocean Dreams, but I think we only tried it once or twice. It may be wonderful, but just not something my son connected with. I think, if I recall, it was a little young for him. He's always been very concerned with not seeming "babyish". The one he has consistently enjoyed is this one: http://www.amazon.co...96241952&sr=8-4 Her voice is VERY relaxing and I always enjoy listening to it, too.

SarahJane Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks for the idea! I've been wanting to start meditaion to calm myself down a bit so I can focus again. (PANDAS has given ME ADD!) Since I homeschool, I could incorporate this into our day & find time for BOTH of us to get something out of it.

Ozimum Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Quote: "I wanted to add that baroque or classical music helps in our household when kids are fighting, and with focusing to get homework done, and with clean-up time." Tampicc, that accords with something I heard years ago - that baroque music is really good to play to improve focus (eg when studying) because of the rhythm/beat...it seems to be in some sort of sync with the body. Gotta pull out my Mozart CDs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megs_Mom Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 We used relaxation techniques that worked very well for panic and anxiety caused by OCD or in general. They did not work on the OCD itself, just kept her calmer during it. Two best techniques for us were deep breathing counts, with hand on lower stomach, raising and lowering balloon tummy, so as not to breathe in chest which adds to anxiety. We also did a good bit of the relaxation technique where u clench and release muscles, slowly moving up the body from feet to head. She liked this very physical one, then we ended with breathing. Look forward to hearing how the music goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
