Hi there, Martin here. This isn't a meditation, this is an announcement. Anchored, the app for the show is now out there in testing for iOS. So if you listen to the show and most of you do on an Apple device, it's here.
It's completely free, I can't reiterate that enough, even the premium version. It's all built within Apple's test flight system, so you can try it out. No obligation, click on the premium tab and no money goes through your account. Trust me on that one or trust Apple.
I want to say, the back when I started this podcast in 2019, it was to give away something for free, just to help people. When it's grown, 10 million downloads later, charting in 158 countries, and then late last year, the loss of my vision made me think, I need a project, so I started to build the app. On a very large screen, in very large text, and an update on that, in two weeks time, I get the final surgery and get my site back, just at the time that this Apple go live across the world. To those that supported me, on GoFundMe, thank you.
You all get a lifetime access to the premium. Without your support, this would never have happened. I had to learn to code on an iOS device, something I never thought I'd be doing. So the link is in the show notes.
Download it, as I said, it's free. It's the entire catalog, over 3,000 of my shows. It's got books at bedtime, an ever-growing library to fall asleep to. I record something, so that you don't listen.
That makes sense. It's got the ambient night light. It's got the box breathing, but you can set your own rhythms. And on the premium version, should you decide to take that?
You download everything for offline use. But more than that, there's the instant calm. A panic button for anyone, anywhere, that they have always the access to, and you don't need a signal, it's baked into the very app itself. So try it.
Before the app store, before anyone else in the world, I want you, my tribe, to have it first. All I ask is live with it for a week. Then tell me one honest thing, what you loved or what you felt was wrong. Your voice shapes what thousands of people were one day holding their hands.
Thank you for being there. For pressing play, day after day, for being the kindest corner of the internet I know. Download, enjoy, and then in everything, my friend. Be kind.
