1. How do I open a meditation room?
Mouseover the meditation link in the navigation menu; a drop-down menu appears for each meditation category.
Select a meditation category by clicking one of the options. The page displays an introduction and runs a slide show in the lower part of the page (showing each meditation available). Mouseover the slide show to pause the rotation, use the left/right arrows to move between slides.
Each slide gives a brief overview of the meditation, its duration and any special instructions.
Click on the slide to open the meditation room displayed, which pops up in a separate window. You can minimise this window, or move it to the background and the meditation will still play.
The meditation rooms play automatically once loaded. If the room does not play, close the window and re-open the room: sometimes the page may not load correctly. Alternatively, press Ctrl+R (Cmd+R on Mac keyboard) to refresh the content.
2. How do I control the meditation playback?
The controls available to you are:
play | pause : the large button centered underneath the slide show; toggles between play and pause each time you click.
Pauses the playback sound and images, restarts from the point the slide show was paused.
sound on | off : the speaker image on the bottom left mutes or unmutes the sound.
The slide show continues to run but in silent mode when muted. When you unmute, sound plays from the current slide show position, not from the point it was muted. When sound is on the speaker icon shows green, when muted it is light gray.
previous | next : the arrow icons on the bottom right move the image displayed backward or forward one place per click.
3. How do I open a meditation guide?
Mouseover the guide link in the navigation menu; a drop-down menu appears for each guide category.
Select a guide category by clicking one of the options. Some options have additional choices, indicated by a small black arrow to the right.
After clicking your choice the page opens, including: some background information about the author, how the meditation works and what you can expect. There is also a panel displaying the associated meditation room: click over the panel to open the meditation room.
At the bottom of each page are links to relevant websites.
