You are a warrior in a fantasy game, ready for battle and unsure if the talk of dragons coming to your aid or your doom is true or idle gossip. All you can do is wait... and listen

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.
