Inside the app: 102 programs

Stress is easier to meet when you have a way back to calm. These programs take you down step by step, with Joel's voice guiding the way in and the way back, so you can practise a slower breath and a calmer response.

Start with the included Be In The Moment. Then choose one of six inductions (the original Short, Long and Sleep, plus Beach, Speed and Staircase), pick an ending, add a background sound, and repeat a program for as long as you like.

Be In The Moment is included and yours to keep. The rest of the library unlocks with one purchase. No subscription.

Subliminal Affirmations 2
Sleep & Rest 5
Confidence & Self-Worth 21
Focus & Motivation 21
Health & Habits 14

Questions

What's included, and how do purchases work?
Be In The Moment is included with the app and yours to keep. Unlock the rest of the library with a single one-time purchase: no subscription, and it follows your Apple Account to your other devices. Already bought it? Tap Restore Purchases in the app.
How do I build a session?
Pick a program, choose an induction and an ending, add a background sound if you like, then press Play. Playlists line up several programs as one session.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. Once a program has played it's saved on your device and works with no connection.
What is hypnotherapy?
A state of focused, relaxed attention. You're not asleep and you're never controlled: you stay aware and in charge the whole time, relaxed enough to be open to positive suggestions.
What if I don't feel hypnotized?
Very common, and it doesn't mean it isn't working. Just relax and let the words wash over you; the benefit comes from listening consistently.
Is it safe?
Yes. You can open your eyes and stop at any moment. Never listen while driving or doing anything that needs your attention.
What are the Subliminal Affirmations?
Subliminal affirmation music: two 30-minute ambient tracks made to loop seamlessly, for background or all-night listening. They contain no voice or spoken words, and each is its own purchase, included in Unlock All.
I had the old app. Do I keep Stress Relief?
Yes. Everyone who had the app before version 4.0 keeps the Stress Relief program at no charge, and everything you bought carries over: tap Restore Purchases in Settings.
Which induction should I start with?
Start with Short. Try Long or Staircase when you have more time, Speed when you want to go in quickly, and Sleep at bedtime.
