In the
first lockdown after the virus hit, the streets at night were
strangely quiet and empty. And the moon shone down as though
nothing extraordinary was happening at all.
Perspective.
In the past, the moon has continued its journey through the
sky while many pandemics have run their course below. The
present is no different. And the future… finite dots blinking
in and out of existence in infinity.

Relaxation
Response
(February 11, 2012)
Synchronizing your breathing with this music, and concentrating on using your diaphragm to breathe out fully, will help switch on the Relaxation Response* which is the physiological key to activating the parasympathetic nervous system and beginning to counter the bio-chemical effects of stress. This response is one of the reasons why meditation and similar trance states are so good at helping alleviate many stress-related conditions.
This track
also uses binaural beat technology and has been designed to aid
the listener to go into trance easily. I composed it initially
to use with clients in my hypnotherapy and psychotherapy work.
It can be used as a single-play track for a short session,
looped to any length required in your playlists, or combined
with other tracks I have composed as a background for
relaxation, trance or creative work.
*A
physiological response described by Dr Herbert Benson building
on the work of Nobel Laureate Dr Walter Heiss and his own
research at Harvard medical School.

Rapid
Relaxation Response
(March 21, 2012)
Some users of the Relaxation Response single said that they found it difficult to get into meditative 7-11 breathing straightaway, particularly when they were highly stressed or agitated. Rapid Relaxation is designed to lead the listener quickly into relaxing meditative brainwave states by combining music and binaural beat technology with structured breath-deepening. The structure of the stage-shift cycle is from a high-energy state of everyday beta consciousness through the deep theta relaxation characteristic of near-sleep to a relaxed meditative alpha state that helps to fire the Relaxation Response and all the physiological and psychological benefits that entails.
To move from a
state of high energy to one of relaxation, simply synchronize
your breathing with that on the audio, inhaling with the rising
tune and exhaling as it falls, pushing those last bits of air
out of your lungs with your diaphragm.
