Zenphonia. Sound on. Stress off. Your audio app for your daily reset. Precise sound for your inner balance. Headphones on - and the reset can begin. What is Zenphonia? Zenphonia is an invitation to listen deeply - as a daily practice. Those who become more aware of themselves find their way to balance more easily. At your own pace, whenever you are ready. Deep, conscious listening as a practice of self-awareness. Not as background music - as a tool for you. Precisely composed by film composer Dirk Reichardt and Dr. med. Roya Schwarz, specialist in preventive and integrative medicine. Over five years of development. Hundreds of observations from clinical practice. 9 Modules - your topics Reset. Recovery. Focus. Inner balance. Your topics are individual - so is Zenphonia. β€’ Daily Reset Finding your way back to calm - even when stress and tension have built up. β€’ Good Night Finding it easier to fall asleep - even when thoughts won't settle. β€’ Inner Security Feeling more grounded again - even when worries and anxieties weigh on you. β€’ New Energy Finding new strength - even when exhaustion and overload have taken hold. β€’ Focus Becoming clearer again - even when distraction and mental noise shape your day. β€’ Your Heart Experiencing more openness and warmth - even when emotional pressure weighs on the heart. β€’ Balance Finding your centre again - even when inner equilibrium feels out of reach. β€’ Pentagonia Moving through difficult transitions step by step - even when loss or change feels overwhelming. β€’ Calendarium Being accompanied through the year - with sounds that match particular moments in the rhythm of the seasons. Your topics. Your rhythm. Everyone is different. Zenphonia adapts to you - not the other way around. You choose what moves you. Your topics - your exercises - just for you. β€’ Personal exercise plan - daily, tailored to you β€’ Pauses when you pause. Continues when you continue. No streak pressure. β€’ Calendar view - your rhythm at a glance β€’ Favourites - save exercises that feel right for you β€’ Audio guide - optional guidance through the exercises β€’ Offline mode - save up to 5 exercises locally β€’ Knowledge - background information on your topics β€’ Clever sound variation in every exercise – your brain never fully gets used to it. β€’ Reminders - optional push notifications Deep listening - what this means When you listen deeply and attentively, you direct your awareness inward. A practice of self-awareness - conscious, without judgement, at your own pace. Many exercises invite you to deepen this awareness - accompanied by conscious breathing or gentle movement. What you experience is individual. Deep listening as a daily practice. Precise sound for your inner balance.

The IOA tools can reduce anxiety before, during and after each lesson in the pool, or ANYtime you are in or around water. This includes everything from bathrooms, changing rooms, swimming pools, rivers, lakes & the sea. The IOA aquatic mindfulness tools can be used at any point you become physically or emotionally tense or just need to relax. If this does happen, you should stop any activities and by using these techniques you can calm your mind and body. The content within this App has been taken from the IOA App β€œA swimming pool in my pocket”, available on Google and Apple App stores and has been designed to be used for quick access whenever you need them. This is a stand alone App that can be used to support the actual lessons in the pool or can just be used by anyone who independently wants to use the content to aid stress reduction and encourage relaxation. As you go through this App you will find all of the items you need for breathing and body relaxation techniques. Also 4 mediation videos and our jewel in the crown, the Kolb collection. Especially designed to ease your aquaphobia when undertaking activities in the water. Created with the IOA by Laruen Kolb, a highly respected Clinical Hypnotherapist. Laruen's has made 11 voiceovers for each activity we ask you to do in the water. They are incredibly calming and help you acclimatise to each action. The more you practice them on this app the more it benefits you in your actual lessons in the water. Please work your way through the app playing each video and looking at each of the "how to" slides. You will soon get use to how this (easy to use IOA) system works. Pick the ones you like the most and practice them, moving on to the other techniques as you wish to. You can even make your own up.
