Insight Timer (finally!)

I'd chosen this as my savasana image, however; it was rejected. I am guessing because it is a "person" and they supposedly don't allow people images. Thank you to S for taking this pic. I am sorry it didn't get used.

It took a few months to get this together. With many stops and starts. I had to continually remind myself of my own advice with this project (click here for that blog post) ; “I do not have the skills, ability, energy or understanding to accomplish this task right now. So be gentle. Do what I can when I can. This IS something that WILL happen because I am passionate about it. BUT it will happen only when it happens and not a moment sooner”. 
Well that moment finally arrived.
 
My first offering is one you might already be aware of in video form. “Guided Relaxation - Savasana”.
I recorded this in audio format specifically for Insight Timer. It is the same script but a few minutes shorter and likely will feel different as it was recorded at a different time. The links are at the bottom of this email.
 
First, A bit about Insight Timer:
-A smartphone app for meditation, sleep, stress education, relaxing music and so much more.
-An amazing free basic version with over 35,000 titles (music, talks and meditations) provided by experts such as neuroscientists, psychologists, mindfulness & yoga teachers,  lecturers and professors.
-A paid option that provides access to 400 courses and additional features like rewind, repeat and download.

Teachers CAN earn an income on Insight Timer “We calculate who earns what based on two metrics only; Total play count (75%) and Teacher engagement (25%). As well, teachers can receive donations from their listeners.”
This means that you can support teachers by

1. Writing reviews after you have listened to the meditation,
2. Share your favourites on social media or just tell friends.

And 3. You can donate directly to teachers on the app. After you have listened to a meditation, a screen will pop up with an option to donate and 3 amounts to choose from. You can also visit the teacher’s page and click the donate button. If you do not like to use your credit card on-line, this is what i do. Once a month I purchase a Google Play gift card from a drugstore or office supply store. Then, when you click on donate, choose “redeem code” and enter the string of numbers and letters from the back of your gift card.

You don’t have the app, but you want it....
1. On your smartphone, click on the Google Play Store app and search for “Insight Timer”. Download and start using! (if you need help with this step, our how to use the app, let me know and i will walk you through it.)
2. On your computer, head over to https://insighttimer.com/. And you will see a floating button at the bottom of the page that says “download our app”. If you click on that, you can enter your cell phone # and they will send you a text message with the link to download. (I have not used this option so i am not entirely sure of the steps. If you have, and you’d be willing to share some details, then i will pass them along too).

And if you are reading this on your phone, and you have the Insight Timer app, click on the links below and (you should) be taken directly there.
