Ruined by environmental warning
I sat through this meditation and found it quite enjoyable, planning to recommend it to child clients and have my son use it, until, at the end of the meditation, a wise, old "merman" leaves us with, "Water is the life blood of Earth, and just as you need water to sustain yourself, so does the earth. When we pollute our oceans, we're polluting ourselves. So take care of the ocean. Take care of Your ocean." The narrator then tells you that "he leaves you to think about this as the scene fades." That is the end of the meditation ---- thinking about how the ocean shouldn't be polluted. I find that to be quite an inappropriate use of a meditation. I consider myself a strong environmentalist, but I found my eyes snapping open when the old man spoke about pollution in this manner, just stuck on at the end as an advertisement.
