What is StayTense?
A free 3-minute experience in your browser: it dares you to stay tense while it openly guides you toward a deeply relaxed state — words, light and rhythm, nothing to install, no signup. After 10pm it offers an 8-minute night mode designed to be left playing as you fall asleep.
Is this hypnosis?
It's a guided trance-rest — the same family of states as deep meditation and yoga nidra. It's fully transparent: the page tells you exactly what it's doing, you stay aware and in control throughout, and you can stop at any moment.
Is it safe?
It's made for everyday tension — a wellbeing tool, not medical care. Never use it while driving. If you live with epilepsy, a psychosis-spectrum condition, or severe dissociation, please check with your clinician first.
Who made it?
Crafted with Dr. Amruthavani, an Ayurvedic psychiatrist practising in Kochi and online — a Manaskara initiative.
