Hi, for all you guys who publish podcasts, I'd like a little advice.  What do you recommend as far as hosting a podcast and creating the RSS feed for distribution?  Is hosting the podcast on my own server the best way to go?  What services would you use for publishing it? Thanks in advance.

Hello relaxers and relaxees,

I put up a video in my gallery here at Ourhypnospace, on Youtube, and on my website that consists of 10 minutes of my nature sounds and gallery photos (and some other nature images). It's meant to be a quick relaxation break during the middle of the day to "get away" from work for a bit.  I hope you enjoy it and find some peace and tranquility in this virtual escape to nature.

Hello my mesmerizing friends!

I have an offer for you.  Read on!

It's been a while since I blogged, but that's because I have been in Alaska making nature recordings (and, oh yes, vacationing as well), and since I came back at the end of September I have been busily producing the recordings and turning them into first class soundtracks for relaxation, meditation, and hypnosis which are now being sold at my website Moodstreams.com.  The Alaska recordings tell the story of the salmon migration, which was in full splendor while I was there.  The rivers were like highways for salmon, diligently swimming upstream to spawn.  Some sections of the river were bumper to bumper with salmon, kind of like the cars on the Mass turnpike in my hometown of Boston!  Anyway, the recordings are of various parts of the river on this particular migration route, and you can hear everything from rushing streams to majestic waterfalls to raucous seagulls.  Check out the samples in the catalog, you'll be pleased with what you hear. I also have Alaska photos in the new gallery page.

I have also spent time this past week improving the online shopping experience on my site, so now it's more user-friendly and more intuitive.  I do hope you will all like it.

Okay, if you've stayed with me this long, here's the offer.  For the next month, I'm giving 25% off your purchase at my site to people who should happen to come across my blog post and actually read it!  Simply enter the discount code "HYPNOSPACE" when you put your items in the shopping cart. It's a hypnotists' special, if you will, and a way to thank the friendly community here at Ourhypnospace for all the great advice and online conversation that I've benefitted from.

Take care and enjoy life.

Hello All,

So, many of you have been asking to hear longer samples of my nature sounds that I offer at Moodstreams.com.  Well, I've just added a free ten-minute nature sound compilation track, that you can download from the website.  Instead of being limited to the 20-second samples that you hear on the soundtracks page, you get about a minute-and-a-half of seven different nature recordings, so you get a better idea of how they sound overall.  The samples fade smoothly into one another, so I think it makes a rather good relaxation or meditation soundtrack in and of itself, if you're looking for a short break in the middle of the day. And the best part is that it's FREE, so download away. You can access this download either from the home page, or the soundtracks page.  Look for it on the left sidebar, inside the blue box.

In other news, I am going to Alaska Sep. 18-28!  I'll hopefully have loads of time in the pristine wilderness of Alaska to make some recordings of nature sounds.  I'm pretty excited about the prospect of recording in a place where I don't have to worry about dealing with trains, motorcycles, distant traffic and other annoyances that plague me as a nature recordist in my home state of Massachusetts.  Let's pray it doesn't rain the entire time.   Also, how do you all feel about meditating to the sound of hungry bears chasing nature recordists?

Hi Hypnofriends,

In my ongoing quest to offer the best ambient sounds for relaxation, meditation, and hypnosis on the web, I've added a couple new soundtracks to my website, moodstreams.com.  The latest is a night recording I made in Central Massachusetts at the edge of a pond at the end of August.  It features a dense chorus of insects on the shoreline, punctuated by the deep croaking sounds of Green Frogs in the water.  It's a pretty unique sound, and is appropriately called "Evening by the Pond".  I've also put up a few new entrainment sessions, some with backgrounds that are from my own recordings.  Samples of all of these are on my catalog page.  Check them out, and enjoy!
