Here are some examples of the lovely feedback from users of Heathers meditation recordings. “I love your wonderfully relaxing voice I found myself being drawn in so easily and found my breathing slowing down naturally. What a magical journey and what a wonderful way for children to learn to relax. In our busy, frenetic, busy world it’s so important for children to learn to slow down, chill out and use their imaginations. It aids their concentration, their sense of well being and helps children connect with their inner sense of calm. I loved it and I recommend this wonderful CD to all parents as it is such an easy way to help children feel at peace with themselves and with one another.” Sue Atkins, Founder of Positive-Parents.com and Author of Raising Happy Children for Dummies “Magical Meditations is a lovely way to chill out. It made me feel nice and happy and relaxed, I could just float off and stay there forever!” Emma (aged 11) “I loved Magical Meditations. Not just for my son, but for me too! I enjoyed the way it encourages solitude, imagination and rest from all the busyness. With all the electronic games and stimulation – this is just what is needed to allow children to feel calm.“ Renita Boyle, Children’s author and storyteller (UK) “I liked bringing the twinkly feeling back with me.” Kathryn (age 7)
