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 biggest negative aspect of this app is that you must be online to listen I do not want EMF'S from wifi or any other source close to me when I listen to the meditations. This is achievable, but obviously, the developers neglected to build this option into the app. A simple download option would have made it attractive to use, but because there is no offline listening option, I'll be giving it a miss.

Thank you for giving Expand a try and supporting the global awakening of human consciousness. The ability to play meditations offline is already in development and coming soon!

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.

I would say this is a great app and I have not had any issues so far. I would like to make a suggestion for the timers through. Especially with Focus 10 and above, would be nice to have the option to have C1 tones at the end so I feel safe to continue with daily activities. Also a way to chain meditations and timers like a playlist would be nice. But I think having the C1 tones at the end would be more important for safety reasons.

Thanks for your feedback David - a rework of some of the features in the timer is actually the next thing on our list - I will definitely bring this up with the team. Also, if you'd like you can submit a formal request at https://expand.featurebase.app/ - thanks!
