OK, this is a bit of fun, but if you have an iPhone/iPod Touch and you use them as an alarm in the morning, you can now have yours truly wake you with a count-up from one to ten.

Here are the instructions:

1) Download the file here  (on a computer or laptop PLEASE)

2) Find the file on your computer - It's called WakeWithAndrew.m4r

3) Double click the file and it will be copied to iTunes as a ringtone.

4) Connect your iPhone etc to iTunes and make sure that "sync tones" is ticked

5) Sync your phone

5) On your phone got to Clock > Alarm > Sound and find my file. 

6) Set your alam to the correct time for waking and make sure the volume is set at the right level for you

7) Wake with a smile (hopefully) 

Please feel free to share this page - Thanks :-)

A few weeks ago, Alex Baisley of The Big Dream Program interviewed me.
The link below will take you to the recording of that interview.

Late last year (2011), Mike and I sent a standard app to Apple for release in December.  To our surprise, Apple rejected the app saying that it wasn't using iOS to its fullest extent and perhaps we should release them all as MP3s instead.

We were very aware that with 20 apps already available on iTunes, we didn't want to "rock the boat" and we started working on what has now become Relax+.  This much more advanced App allows a choice of background music, volume control and has the ability to play two or three "therapy" sections in one session along with a choice of inductions.  Over the next few months, we plan to add to the choice of therapy sections and also include new versions of our "classic"apps as well.

I have had requests over the years for more guided meditations/relaxations and have always had plans to record titles like "Inner Child", "Meditate" and "Chakra Visualization" however, as these recordings are meant to be played in one continuous session, they are unsuitable for inclusion in Relax+ or being released as an individual app.

Over the last 4 years, I have reduced my MP3 prices from £9.00 ($13.50) to £5.00 ($7.50) down to £2.00 (approx $3.00) to match app pricing

Any of these MP3s can be downloaded to a desktop/laptop and then synched to any MP3 player, smartphone or tablet.

I want to thank you for your continued support and your kind words about all the recordings.

We have big plans for 2013!

Andrew

Breathe.

Are you aware of your breathing?

Well, you are now as you read this.  

Just pause for a moment and follow your breath....................

The average adult breathes 21,600 times a day and yet is unaware of it 99.9% of the time

Are you aware how incredible your breath is in helping relaxation and well-being?

Here is a little test for you.

Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.

Close your eyes and do nothing but follow your breath and the movements of your hands.

Do it now....... for 20 seconds.......

Ahhhhhhh.   How does that feel?

Now.... here is the secret. 

If you do that once a day for three weeks, it will become a habit.

A positive habit.

i.e. You will miss it if you don’t do it.

Go on. 

Slow your mind - follow your breathing - be gentle with yourself - enjoy the stillness - smile   :D

At long last, Relax+ has gone live on iTunes.  This is a free app with different inductions, a choice of background music and the ability to buy new therapy recordings from within the app itself.

You can download the app by clicking this LINK

This is the music I use at the end of many workshops.  I've played it so often, I can time my relaxation suggestions between the chanting.  The full track is 23 minutes long and if you get a chance to buy it on CD, do so. It's wonderful :-)
