Why Downloadable Audio is better than Streaming
“I don’t want to deal with ads or distractions while meditating. With downloaded content, I can fully focus on my practice without interruptions.”
“Downloading meditation content is more cost-effective than a subscription, and I get to keep it forever. Meditation apps also have too many unnecessary features.”
“I prefer downloading my meditation courses because I can use them offline anytime, anywhere, without worrying about internet issues.”
Download Instructions
Downloading to an iPhone
iPhones download into a Downloads folder. This folder can easily be found by searching your phone for it. During downloading you will see a download icon in the url bar of Safari. If you click on the icon while it is downloading (or afterward) it will take you to the Downloads folder. There may be multiple files from previous downloads. The file is a ZIP file which is "compressed" to save space. Double click on it to "open" the compressed file and it will de-compress to a folder containing all the audio files. You can then open that folder, select a file and listen. The ZIP file can be deleted. If you want to listen to it within the Music app on your iPhone, you need to download the file onto your desktop computer and add it to your Music (formerly iTunes) app, and transfer it to your phone.
