Stress Reduction-Audio-Free
Want to better learn how to relax and find some stress relief? Stress Reduction-Audio contains two guided relaxation techniques to guide you through the process of becoming more fully relaxed. Some people find these techniques helpful for getting to sleep at night. Additionally, the app includes a number of peaceful nature sounds that may be used to help fall asleep.
This free version of the app includes ads and streams the audio from the Internet (so data rates may apply from your carrier if not using Wifi). The Full version allows you to download the full audio files to your device rather than streaming them from a remote server, and does not contain ads.
As a clinical psychologist and hobby Android developer, I wanted to combine the two skills to write an app that may be of benefit to many. The world is a stressful place, and one component of coping with that stress is learning how to more fully relax. I have included two relaxation strategies that I frequently use with my psychotherapy clients.
Two relaxation techniques are included along with a peaceful and relaxing background music.
- Relax and Breathe - Walks you through relaxing all the muscles in your body combined with a deep breathing exercise. (7 minutes and 40 seconds)
- Relax and Visualize - This technique is a mildly self-hypnotic procedure that includes relaxing your muscles, mind, and visualizing a peaceful scene. This is often a favorite. (15 minutes)
I include two techniques, because some people find they can more effectively utilize one technique over the other. Also, having one with a shorter play time helps when you need to relax, but are under time pressure.
If you have any problems with this app, don't hesitate to contact me at

Enjoy, and I hope this brings you a little peace in a hectic world.

- Really works on me! Nothing was helping me get to sleep last nite until I stopped & listened & finally was able to go to sleep before taking my stress measurement again! I noticed my stress level goes down after I listened to this relaxation & visualization. I just wish we did not have to pay for the muscle one cause I have MS & I really think that would help me out a lot but being on a very strict budget I can barely keep things going. My recommendation is to make it available to those in need.
- I've yet to try the relaxation but I sure do appreciate the way it helps me to fall asleep. Only thing is, the rainforest ans bird chirps though soothing to me, excite the heck out of my cat so, thank heaven for the other sounds. We BOTH fell asleep to the sounds of the surf last nite, even after he heard the birds and went on a mission to find them in my tablet....
- These things never work for me. My husband and I love this one. Something about his voice is very relaxing. It takes me forever to fall asleep at night even when I'm exhausted, but, believe it or not- I doused off momentarily! I was only woke up to my foot jumping lol....this has several techniques. Also has nature sounds without voice to listen to....
- Does what its intended for... I love this app I use it whenever I need to just kick back and chill. I use the relax mode to sleep, more than the actual sleep mode. But it always relaxes me and puts me fast to sleep in a good mind set
- After one use, I feel less tense. I have anxiety disorder and I think this is really going to help me. On the technical side..no glitches so far:) love it. Get it!
- Commonly known as Progressive Relaxation (PR) technique. This is a basic hypnotic induction, or meditation. Very beneficial, for body mind & soul.
- I really enjoyed listening and falling asleep. It was almost like getting hyptnotized. The mans voice reminded me of Mister Rogers. :)
- Everytime i listen to this my body just relaxes and i sleep its helped me a lot
- Very relaxing voice and good progressive relaxation technique.
- I have anxiety so this relaxation app works which is amazing
