Danielle Wright - Sleepy Magic: A Magical Step-By-Step Night-Time Ritual for Calm, Connected and Conscious Children

About the Author

Danielle Wright grew up in Evergreen, a small mountain town just outside of Denver, Colorado. She went to school in both Colorado and Australia, and after graduating from Kansas University with a BA in Journalism, she began her advertising career in San Francisco then moved permanently to Australia.

Danielle met Mr. Wright in 1999 and they married in 2002. A few years later they became parents to two beautiful boys, Evan and Ben.

She ran a successful advertising agency for 12 years, and after deciding to move on, found her passion not only for art and writing, but for life.

This led her down a path of having a more loving, joyful, calm and forgiving state of mind. Through her own transformation, Sleepy Magic was born and is now an integral part of her familys life. She felt compelled to share her experience with like-minded parents so they can create their own special magic with their children.

Whats special about Sleepy Magic ?

Its not by chance that you have picked up this book. It found you!
If one or all scenarios addressed within resonate with you, then the magic contained on these pages will make a difference in you, in your child and hopefully out in the wider world. If we as parents are calm, connected and conscious, it will empower our children to be the same.

Scenario #1
Solve Sleepless Nights

Are you reading this with your eyes half shut and hair in a tizz because you were up five times last night? (And the night before?) Come to think of it, you havent had a decent nights sleep in days, weeks, months, even years. Ever since your sweet little angels decided that night-time was their playtime, they have become your sleepless nightmare.

Well, grab an espresso and perk up, because what youre about to read will change your life and your childs. Okay, a bit dramatic! But it will help your child sleep and in return you receive the ultimate pleasure. Sleep.

Do you want to have a calm, present and relaxed child at bedtime? Well, believe that you can! Within the first few minutes of the Sleepy Magic Meditation, you will see the calming effect. And after you are done, more often than not, you shouldnt hear a peep until morning.

Scenario #2
More Connection

Lets say your bub is a dream at sleep time. Yes ! One battle you have overcome as a parent. However, are you a working or super busy parent struggling to find time to connect? I mean a soulful bond with your child, not just kicking a football around, playing dolls or reading a night-time story? Even though these times are definitely important too, dont you also want to create special time in our crazy world to completely focus on your child? And in return, your child will love every second of that attention.

With Sleepy Magic Meditation, not only will you make time to connect with each other, it will give your child space in their own mind to connect to their brilliance. Its possible! Each night you do the Sleepy Magic Meditation, you create a special ritual that connects you both emotionally and spiritually. This is about quality time.

Scenario #3
Nurture Stillness and Inner Harmony

Are you yourself into meditation, yoga, green juice, and feeling pretty good about how you treat your body, mind and spirit? Have you tapped into your own spiritual path?

However, your child refuses to eat anything but chicken nuggets, is crazy in love with the iPad or iPhone, and wont sit still for two minutes, let alone you trying to teach him or her to meditate. Ha ! Meditate ? You know for sure this would plain bore the pants off of them.

This is the beauty of Sleepy Magic Meditation. You are feeding them this good stuff without them realising its the good stuff. The real good stuff. The stuff it takes some of us, including moi, half our lives to figure out.
