The Magic Castle by Heather Bestel

"The Magic Castle" is a superb high quality meditation recording by Heather Bestel. Heather is a very experienced psychotherapist who has worked with children developing and building their self esteem and confidence since 1994. This CD is a lovely and safe way for 8-11 year old children to feel calm & confident, increasing feelings of happiness and pride and helping to build a belief in being amazing & talented. With the use of these CDs, children learn to develop their own inner resources to cope with the big, wide world. This recording includes four tracks: "Journey To the Magic Castle 9.10"; "The Trophy Room 7.40"; "The Room of Wishes & Dreams 9.07"; and, "The Magic Library 10.26". "The Magic Castle" is ideal for using at home: during chill out time, at bedtime, on long journeys, before exams or anytime children need to switch off and relax. For use in school: at the beginning or end of each class, in the chill out zone, and during circle time. Each CD also includes instructions for a creative activity linked to the CD content. For "The Magic Castle", the activity includes making a 'Feelings wish Box'.
