A helpful answer.

No. All six website tools work without an account. Your saved mixes and read completion stay in this browser.

Yes. The background player keeps your chosen sounds available as you move between website pages. After a reload, press Play when you are ready.

Stop, return to ordinary breathing, or choose a read or background sound instead. These are wellbeing tools, not medical care. Our help page explains the limits and links to trusted guidance.

Choose a theme, guidance level and practice time, then press Start meditation. The phone app’s narration is varied using introductions you have not heard and less-used prompts. The introduction comes before the chosen practice time. Voice and background have separate on/off and volume controls. Save a session to replay its original prompts and pauses.

The mixer supports six layers at once, with separate volume controls and original recording variants. Soundscapes are ready-made combinations. Playing one changes the ambient mix while keeping your current practice. The bottom player controls background sounds. Meditation voice, focus and breathing have their own controls.

That depends on your browser and device. Background alerts and locked-screen playback are not guaranteed. Guided meditation pauses when the tab is hidden; breathing pauses when its page is hidden or you leave it. Focus catches up when you return.

Press Play directly, check the site's sound permission and your device volume, then try again. The browser may suspend audio when another app takes over. You can still read explanations and transcripts without sound.

The website needs a connection to load pages and recordings. Loaded sounds may continue, but full offline use is not promised. Website storage is local and does not synchronize with the Android app.

Use the switch beside the Mind Sanctuary name for light or dark. Light is the default. Breathing includes a Still visual guide. The website also respects the device's reduced-motion preference.

Yes, sound continues when you use the links inside this website. You can pause, mute or stop it with the player at the bottom. Reloading the page requires pressing Play again. Browsers may interrupt audio when your device locks or another app takes over.

Brown noise sounds lower and fuller. White noise has more audible high-frequency hiss. Pink noise sits between them. Choose the texture you find comfortable; these tools do not promise better sleep or treat a condition.

No. You can notice a thought and return to your chosen anchor without trying to empty your mind. Begin with a short session and adjust the guidance to your preference.

The web edition gives you a quiet view and a timer. It cannot block other apps or control device notifications. A hidden tab may be slowed or suspended by your browser. The timer catches up when you return; audible alerts while the device is locked are not guaranteed.

The app's 4-7-8 pattern uses a four-second inhale, seven-second hold and eight-second exhale, for your chosen practice time. It has no pause after the exhale. It is a pacing option, not a promise that you will fall asleep.

Each sound card shows its original Recording choices, also available in Your mix. Choose a recording before or during playback. Changing one layer leaves the other sounds and your practice running.

Pictures come from the phone app and change when you open another page or reload. They stay still during your practice. Soundscapes always show distinct photographs.

The library includes 240 reflections and imagined stories from the phone app. Search by title or choose a theme. Completed reads are remembered in this browser.
