FAQs

Q: Can I download this meditation program to my ipod?

A. Yes, absolutely.  After purchasing your program you will be promted to download your mp3 audio files (which is your guided meditation program) from the Library. Simply download the mp3 files from our site to your computer and then transfer them into your music manager software, eg., itunes, to sync them to your ipod, phone, or any other mobile device that plays mp3’s.  These are mp3 files and are exactly the same as any of your music files, just a little bigger. 

Q: I am already and meditator, how do I know that this program will benefit me?

A. Great question. We like to recommend the following gauge. If you can hold your mind steady enough to follow an entire thought rise, stay for a while and then pass away and do this consistently for 2+ minutes, you are doing very well and will likely be able to begin the program with confidence at Step 3. If you are not able to do this without interruption, then we recommend you begin at Step One. This will help you to generate balance and steadiness in your mind long enough to be able to watch each thought that rises, stays for a while and then pass away for 2 minutes or so. Many experienced meditators have reported that this technique is extremely helpful to them and allows them to have more success in their current practice.

Q: I want to meditate the full 20 minutes – without listening to the instructions everyday. Can we have an additional meditation mp3 without instructions?

The instructions on meditation days are no more than 2 - 3  minutes. All instructional material has layers of information When we first hear the instruction it is new and and we relate to very little of it. Once we practice a bit, we start to understand what the instruction means and begin to deepen our practice. One day we listen to the same words and suddenly hear something else. Have patience, listen the the instruction each day, it is there for you, its meaning will change as your practice becomes performance.  In Step Three we move to an instruction day followed by ten days of practice with highlights and cues to guide your practice.

Logistics or Technical Questions

Q: How do I pay without using PayPal?

We like PayPal, we believe it protects you while you are shopping online, and now from the front page of PayPal you don’t need to setup an account to use it.

However we understand that not everyone likes that so we are happy to accept online payments, cheques and postal orders for payment of membership fees and MP3 orders.  If you would like to use any of these methods for payment. Just drop us an email info@meditationvillage.ca to let us know and we’ll provide you with the information you need.
