About this listen

Lie back and let yourself be transported. These imaginative relaxation scripts will help you and your child relax, switch off from everyday worries, and learn the art of being still. Fly on a magic carpet or a Pegasus, sink into an enormous football shirt or bowl of soup, float on the ocean on a surfboard, or follow a red blood cell round your body. These adventures in relaxation can be used at the end of a yoga class, before bedtime, or any time when some calm is needed.

Written and narrated by Maria Oliver. Original piano compositions written and performed by Maria Oliver (www.boxmooryoga.co.uk)

We have read Maria’s book and now listened to the audio too and it’s just brilliant. My daughter can imagine each meditation as they are described so beautifully. Listening to the audio is really soothing too with the lovely piano and sound effects, it really helps to calm her before bed. We both love this book & would definitely recommend this audio book.

Our daughter loves listening to Maria's book at bedtime, and requested we post a well-deserved five star rating. The chapters are varied and engaging, with her particular favourite being Flying as a Red Kite. Thoroughly recommended to settle active imaginations before sleep.

Great listen to relax and settle at bedtime

I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to this time. The audible book had beautiful background music playing throughout and each mini chapter helped my children imagine wonderful images, it really did help them to relax and has become such a big part of our bedtime routine.

This is a fantastic audio to listen to before bedtime or just when some calm is needed. My 3 boys have enjoyed the visualisations and so have I! There are many lovely and detailed journeys to go on that spark imagination and bring a sense of stillness. Perfect for children and adults alike. I’d really recommend, captivating and relaxing!

Lovely relaxations!

I love this sweet and engaging book, it gives you a calm feeling of comfort & nostalgia. Maria writes in a beautiful manner that is descriptive and soothing. I love children's books, so I listened to it together sitting down with my son, who also seemed to really enjoy it.

You can tell that the author really loves to write, and she adds a nice musical touch to it with a melodic piano dispersed throughout the book. I love how descriptive the book is, filled with lots of adjectives and details. Honestly a really sweet & enjoyable book for yourself & the little ones. The narration was also wonderful to listen to as Maria narrates it herself.

5/5, would recommend :)

Such a lovely book, my son loved it!

I have used this audio book to help my 8 year old when he is upset and having trouble sleeping. It was really helpful the night before he started back to school and calmed him down so that he went off to sleep after three chapters. The piano is calming and the author's voice is soothing. I'd say that this was not just for children but would work for adults too. I found it very relaxing when I listened to it with my son. His favourite one is Climbing a Mountain. I would recommend this book to parents.

Beautifully relaxing

A calming and gentle book suited to younger children in terms of the exercises. This could be used as an alternative to a bedtime story, I slowed the speed down to 0.8 as I felt the slower pace was more suited to this type of content. I would recommend this for kids aged 4-10.

Calming and Gentle
