Patreon Migration
Per June 1st 2025 – our Patreon Page wil have migrated to monthly billing. That’s right! No longer our Patrons can support us per creation. It’s because of Apple’s monthly subscription billing model: Patreon is forced to migrate all Creators that are still on a ‘per creation billing’. Our Patrons will be kept informed through my Patreon page regarding this transition.
Unfortunately, there’s no other choice but to ‘go with it’. Apple rules. And the decision by Patreon to follow their orders. Otherwise they risk being kicked out of the App Store.
Personally, I don’t remember ever signing a piece of paper that said I had to comply with App Store policies. Here’s the nuance that worries me. The big boy Tim Cook who ultimately forces me to agree to his policies , while I am on the Patreon platform. Let’s keep quiet about that; as long as we do realize how the game is played.
Existing Patrons: it will be fine. We (Ambient Zone and Patreon) are doing our best to make the transition as smooth as possible and you will ultimately notice little of it. Myself on the other hand, will notice a lot of it. Apple will take a sloppy 30% of my income from new Patrons who sign up via the Patreon iOS app. Because that’s how it’s done of course. You know. Apple. They need the money, so why even bother discussing it.
Advise: NEW Patrons – please do sign up through your web browser ( https://patreon.com/ambientzone ) instead of the iOS app. This way your pledge will go to me, not Apple. After you’ve signed up through the web, your free to use the Patreon iOS app, that will not affect my income – little effort, great pleasure! Thanks.

Diagnosing, finding a cause, tackling pain and finding out what helps. To what extent is the mind able to take and maintain control over pain or even resolve it? In today’s show, a true soundtrack linked to health, for both body and mind. For those ambient moments, hours, days, for a way of life that fits what you feel, see and experience. The power of the mind to take control and influence the body as well as the environment in which it resides. The mind in this context refers to your thoughts, beliefs and intentions.
Life is like a balance, sometimes one thing happens, then another. As humans we feel best when things are in balance but this is not always easy. I think we all know that! The most important tool we all have is breathing. I
Here you can relax, meditate and recharge yourself; dare to dream too, because dreams are a visualization of your wishes. What do you wish? What do you believe in? What do you want to achieve? And what if I told you that if you believe in what you want to achieve, you can?! Much more useful than thinking about all the things that can go wrong. Or what you can’t do. Because if you’re in it like that, it won’t work either. So if you don’t feel completely okay sometimes, turn it around, believe, dream, visualize. You are loved. The universe will connect and serve. Try it! Don’t hold back.
