About this app

From the world-renowned Monroe Institute, access profound states of expanded awareness normally attained after years of dedicated practice to foster greater meaning and purpose, relieve stress, improve sleep, and release unwanted patterns. The guided meditations in Expand feature Monroe Sound Science, our proprietary audio technology that uses targeted soundwave patterns to facilitate unique states of consciousness. Using Expand, you can access the profound wisdom and joy buried deep within your conscious and subconscious minds.

Expand features 100+ guided meditations, along with multi-day mini-courses, guided reflection and journaling, and custom-generated soundscapes that target specific brainwave states. Far from typical meditations that focus on simply clearing your mind of thoughts, Expand meditations encourage active imagination and perception to achieve specific results. Meditation topics include:

- Relaxation & Healing
- Joy & Meaning
- Insight and Intuition
- Sleep & Dreaming
- Nurturing Healthy Relationships
- Creativity & Manifestation
- Beyond the Physical

Expand was developed by the Monroe Institute, the world’s foremost center for the study and practice of expanded consciousness. Monroe is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in the early 1970s as a research and educational organization. In addition to Expand, Monroe offers a wide variety of experiential retreats virtually, on our 300-acre Virginia campus, and in over a dozen countries worldwide.

The "timer" audio (not the best name) are excellent, I use the sleep one three or four times a week when I can't sleep and it works very well most of the time. Some of the other meditations are good although many have quite cheesy music. I really really wish that they would allow to listen to the timer audio offline, as when you're on a plane a few of these would be very useful. Otherwise I'll have to try and record the audio via a PC emulator which is not ideal.

We are working on an offline mode for the timer which will hopefully come out sometime this year.

Having these meditations available on my phone is such a treat. The specialised sounds help me quickly get to a relaxed state. Sometimes my partner and I listen to them together with both headphones in my phone. He loves them too. They can relax you or take you on a journey to explore. I always look forward to using them and often treat myself to them.

Don't know why my reviews keeps disappearing. Very strange, but 2 reviews now gone, so here is my 3rd. No app is worth over £50 per year. It seems an ok app, but, am I prepared to pay for full subscription and then find out it's not all that ? No thanks. If for instance it was a monthly subscription, I might give it a go, but to pay all that money to a supposed none profit organisation and find I don't get much from it ? If say 1 million people people subscribed, that's over 50 million pounds.
