Dreaming on the Moon Swing

Autogenic training combined with fairy tales and bedtime stories, as well as musical miniatures. The fairy tales and bedtime stories, which are integrated with autogenic training, breathing exercises, and affirmations, are harmoniously connected by the gentle sounds of a sound play by Else Müller and the musical miniatures of Hans-Helmer Sauer. The poetic, imagery-rich fairy tales unfold their therapeutic effects almost playfully. Children, as well as adults, experience comprehensive relaxation, stress relief, and deep tranquility. They can recover and immerse themselves in the healing world of imagination.

Dreaming on the Moon Swing allows for restorative breaks in everyday life and facilitates falling asleep in the evening. The stories help restless and concentration-challenged children turn off their "inner, overactive motor." They serve as an effective counterbalance to the overwhelming, often overpowering media fantasies. The tales activate the flow of inner imagery and the creative childlike imagination. The sounds and meditative music provide enough space for imagination, allowing for relaxed daydreaming.

The best way to prepare for listening to the stories is on an "island of calm." This can be the evening bed or a quiet room with dimmed light. A fairy tale or a bedtime story begins with the sounds of the sound play. This is followed by the fairy tale itself, and at the end, meditative music. Only one fairy tale should be listened to at a time. Afterward, it is easy to continue daydreaming, and the relaxation deepens. "Consuming" several fairy tales in a row leads to stress, which this CD aims to alleviate. Children can also listen to the stories together with others and then share their experiences or even draw.
