New to Zoom?
For those of you who are new to Zoom, here is some helpful advice.
1. For a better Zoom experience, download the free Zoom app onto the device you plan to use, be it a phone, tablet, or computer. To download Zoom, press the button under Zoom Client for Meetings on this page.
2. You do not need to create a Zoom account to attend Zoom meetings.
3. I encourage you to use Zoom on a computer or tablet, as opposed to a phone. The larger screen will allow you to see more people in attendance all at once and be a better experience.
4. Please try and attend one of the upcoming Zoom practice meetings.
I have created four Zoom meetings in the coming days. They will be very short, hopefully no longer than 10-15 minutes.
We will simply verify we all know how to join a Zoom meeting, and then play with the features to make sure everyone is familiar with them.
At these test runs, we can hopefully work out any of the technological kinks so things can go smoothly at our group meditation.
The Zoom practice meetings are as follows:

Tips for Enjoying the Virtual Group Meditation
Do what you can to create a peaceful, calm environment where you will not be distracted or disturbed. We will be doing a guided meditation, so you will want to create a safe, quiet, calm environment that will help you remain focused.
Watch in a secluded room, or with others who are joining you for the meditation. Politely ask others in your household to not disturb you while attending the group meditation.
If you are watching this on a computer, put your computer in "do not disturb" mode.
Turn off or silence your phones.
Set aside all papers, magazines, books, mail, and other things that will distract you.
Find a chair or cushion where you can sit comfortably still during the 30 minute meditation.
Adjust the volume to where you can hear me clearly. You may want to use earbuds if there is background noise where you are.
Feel free to close your eyes during the meditation and the talk and listen with an open heart and open mind. Try to feel and understand the reality to which the words point.
Post any comments or questions you have on our page after the talk is over, and I will try to respond to you within a few days.
Thank you! Enjoy!
