Cool Koala: Bedtime Meditation

Ryan & Cool Koala have become part of our bedtime routine & we couldn’t be happier. My 7 year old daughter is in the 2nd grade & she’s definitely a busy body... Sometimes it’s hard to get her to calm & wind down at night because her brain is still going going going. Ever since Ryan & Cool Koala have become a part of our bedtime routine, our nights have been more peaceful, more loving, more calm, & more beautiful. My daughter requests it every single night without fail.Not only do the meditations get her to sleep fast 100 percent of the time, but they’re also very informative & teach kids about beautiful things like… Positive feelings & emotions, being loved, empowerment, being grateful, letting go of negatively, finding inner peace & so much more. Ryan’s voice is so inviting & so soothing that even I have found myself dozing off quite a few times. Lol.The icing on the cake was when I sent Ryan a request for a “personalized meditation” for my daughter & he emailed us one back fairly quickly!My daughter was so surprised when I played it for her that night. “Mommy OMG they said my naaaaammme OMG” & she jumped out of bed with excitement lol. That was the only night where it took us a bit longer to get to sleep because she insisted on me playing the part where they said her name over & over again. What joy!We are very grateful to have found an app that can truly integrate into our lives. Give this app a try. It’s amazing, it’s simple, it’s user friendly, & so very rewarding.

I feel so fortunate to have found Cool Koala for my 5 and 8 year old. Ryan and his good friend Cool Koala have become like family members each night, guiding our kids to sleep. Our 8 year old has often spoken of having “too many tabs open” in her brain at bedtime. My wife began sharing some sleep meditations at one point but unfortunately the app we used only had a handful of mediations for kids. After a google search for more meditations for kids we found Cool Koala and it was an instant hit. Meditations are new each night but follow a theme for each day of the week, which offers consistency of message. Routine is important to kids with anxiety as in our family, so knowing what will happen each Tuesday or Wednesday is always a plus. Ryan’s delivery is very calming but more importantly helps deliver a message or lesson in self affirmation to all kids but especially those suffering from anxiety. We also enjoy that each meditation runs about 15 minutes with half of the time being wind down time with calming music and ocean sounds to reflect on the lesson. Its a tough time to be a parent and keep your cool. And it’s a tough time to be a kid, let alone one with anxiety. It’s comforting to know that each night when I hear “Hey! It’s Ryan! And I’m here with my good friend Cool Koala…” that positive messages at the end of a busy day will help my kids believe in themselves and bring the day to a calm, positive close.

Cool Koala is the meditation app that you NEED if you have children tend to get a little bit more excited, anxious, rambunctious, or just tend to need to find their center! I’ve been using koala with our three boys, especially at bedtime, for the last couple of months and it has made transitioning from being awake to being in a calm state and ready to fall asleep so much easier. With the addition of a phone app we are now able to take a koala with us wherever we go help our kids find their "happy place" quickly and calmly. I cannot recommend this app enough for any parent and feel as though integrating Cool Koala into regular practice for daily life is integral for keeping kids happy and calm!
