About This Guided Meditation
Magic Island, Relaxation For Kids is the work of Betty Mehling, a leading expert in teaching childred how to cope naturally with every day stress and tension. Fanciful, humorous music by Max Highstein and animated narration by Radha Delamarter compliment the creative, fun script. The program begins with a total body relaxation by tightening and relaxing each part of the body. Then the child pilots their own hot air balloon on an imaginary journey to a magic island. Teaches children how to use relaxation skills that will serve them throughout their whole life. For ages 4 and up. Listening to Magic Island with your child is a great way to spend quiet, quality time relaxing together.

Max Highstein says, "Betty Mehling was teaching kids relaxation and guided imagery in schools when she heard The Healing Waterfall. Soon after, I got a call from her asking me if I would write the music for a unique guided meditation for children. I told her that I'd be happy to not only do that, but help with the script and the recording. A few months later Betty, myself, and a charming actress (Rhada Delamarter) who happened to live nearby were working together in my studio. I think Rhada did an absolutely perfect job capturing the spirit of the script. And based on all the people who have enjoyed sharing Magic Island with their kids, I'd say Betty's story is spot on. As for myself, I think you can hear how much fun I had with the music. It's a great thing to be able to teach a child how to relax and control their body early on, a skill they'll be able to use all their life. Up, up and away!"
