Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 1 October 2026
Astral Realms believes in being open and transparent about how this website is funded.

Some articles, videos, recommendations and other content published on astralrealms.net contain affiliate links. This means Astral Realms may receive a commission if you follow one of these links and complete a qualifying purchase.

There is normally no additional cost to you.

You can be assured that we only recommend products and services we are currently using personally and genuinely believe are worthy of your consideration.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Astral Realms participates in affiliate arrangements that may include products and programs offered by:

  • The Monroe Institute.
  • Hemi-Sync.
  • Providers of the Gateway Experience and related resources.
  • Other businesses offering products, programs or services relevant to consciousness exploration, meditation and out-of-body experiences.

These relationships help support the operation of Astral Realms and allow us to continue producing articles, videos and educational content.

Affiliate arrangements may change over time, and we may add or remove participating businesses without updating every previously published page immediately.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you select an affiliate link, you will usually be taken to a third-party website.

The third party or its affiliate network may use cookies or similar tracking technology to recognise that you arrived through Astral Realms. If you make a qualifying purchase within the applicable tracking period, we may receive a percentage of the sale or another referral payment.

The price you pay is generally the same whether or not you use our affiliate link, unless the provider offers a specific promotion or discount.

Using an affiliate link is entirely optional. You may visit the provider’s website independently if you prefer.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate commissions do not purchase a positive opinion or guarantee that a product or program will be recommended.

Our content may include personal interpretations, independent research, publicly available information and reported experiences. We aim to discuss products and programs honestly and identify relevant limitations where appropriate.

However, our assessments are opinions rather than guarantees. You should conduct your own research and decide whether a product or program is appropriate for your circumstances before purchasing.

Identifying Affiliate Content

Where content includes affiliate links or another commercial relationship, we aim to make that relationship clear through wording such as:

  • “Affiliate link.”
  • “This article contains affiliate links.”
  • “Astral Realms may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.”
  • “Sponsored content” or “Paid partnership,” where applicable.

Disclosures may appear near the beginning of an article, within a video or description, near a recommendation, or beside the relevant link or button.

Reviews and Recommendations

A recommendation does not guarantee that you will achieve a particular result.

Experiences with meditation, audio technology, consciousness exploration, the Gateway Experience, Hemi-Sync and related programs vary between individuals. Testimonials or personal accounts represent individual experiences and should not be interpreted as typical or promised outcomes.

Before purchasing, please consider:

  • The provider’s official product information.
  • Pricing and ongoing subscription costs.
  • Cancellation and refund policies.
  • Health and safety instructions.
  • Whether the product or program suits your individual needs.

Astral Realms does not provide medical, psychological, therapeutic or other professional advice.

Third-Party Purchases

Purchases made after following an affiliate link are completed directly with the third-party provider, not with Astral Realms.

Astral Realms does not ordinarily:

  • Process your payment.
  • Store your payment-card details.
  • Manage your customer account.
  • Control product pricing or availability.
  • Provide access to purchased programs.
  • Administer cancellations, refunds or replacements.
  • Provide technical or customer support for third-party products.

Questions or problems concerning a purchase should be directed to the relevant provider through its official website.

Your purchase will be governed by the provider’s own terms, privacy policy, refund policy and customer-support arrangements.

Nothing in this disclosure excludes any rights or remedies available to you under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.

Sponsorships and Complimentary Products

Astral Realms may occasionally receive a complimentary product, temporary access, payment or another benefit in connection with content.

Where this occurs, we will aim to disclose the relationship clearly. Receiving a benefit does not guarantee positive coverage, and any opinions expressed will remain our own.

No Official Endorsement

References to the Monroe Institute, Hemi-Sync, the Gateway Experience or other third-party names are used for identification, discussion and informational purposes.

Unless expressly stated, the inclusion of a name, trademark, product or link does not mean that its owner sponsors, controls or officially endorses Astral Realms.

All third-party names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

Cookies and Tracking

Affiliate networks and third-party merchants may use cookies or similar technologies to record referrals and attribute qualifying purchases.

For more information about cookies, analytics and how information may be handled when you use the Website, please read our Privacy Policy.
