General

What is RippleNav?

RippleNav is an interactive instrument that responds to your thoughts. A scrolling wave on your screen is how it answers. It is for personal exploration and practice, not a game and not a medical device.

Do I need any equipment?

No. You use a laptop, tablet or phone with a screen and a browser. Sit comfortably and keep a calm, steady attention while you watch RippleNav.

RippleNav drifts even when I am not thinking of anything. Is that me?

Yes. The instrument is sensitive, and quiet activity in your mind can move it on its own. That is normal. You are learning to read it, not to force it.

I tried the first exercise and nothing seemed to happen. Am I doing it wrong?

No. There is no wrong result. You may have been tired, distracted or trying too hard. Come back when you are calm and not rushed, and simply watch RippleNav for a minute or two before you begin.

What does a subscription give me?

Membership unlocks the later lessons (the mind model and the healing protocol material) and gives you unlimited RippleNav use.

How long do I need to subscribe for?

Using RippleNav as a tool for personal exploration can change your life for the better. Some people subscribe just to work on one area of their life, for example work, love or personality, and then stop. They often come back as other areas surface. Some people stay for years and give one or two hours a day to self exploration.

Which third party handles the payment?

Billing is handled by Stripe and you can cancel any time from your Account page.

Why do I need an account?

Accounts keep your practice progression and your RippleNav time private, and they gate the paid areas. Free accounts get an onboarding step, lessons 1–4 and 10 hours of RippleNav time to try.

Is RippleNav therapy or a medical device?

No. RippleNav is an instrument for personal exploration. It is not a medical device, not a therapy, and not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care. No healing claim is made. If you are in crisis, contact a qualified professional.

I paid for a question. How do I get my answer?

Paid questions are answered by the owner in the admin area and the reply is emailed to the address on your account, usually within a few days.

Why did my free RippleNav time run out?

Free accounts get a fixed amount of RippleNav time (10 hours), counted in real time while the instrument is open on screen. Membership gives unlimited use. Your lesson text stays readable either way.

How does it work?

RippleNav runs on a stream of numbers that should repeat exactly, and it does not when someone attends to it. The effect is small and it is amplified into the motion you watch. The full account is a long technical document. You do not need it to use the instrument. Lesson 0 answers this in one short box, and you can ask for the write-up when you want it.

Is RippleNav biofeedback?

No. There is no physical contact with you and no sensor on your body, and the reading does not come from your body. That is why we do not call it biofeedback. It responds to attention itself.

Can I show RippleNav to a friend?

Please do not run it together. RippleNav reads attention, so a second person following along blends their attention with yours and the motion becomes a mix of two minds. The reading then answers neither of you, and it cannot be used for therapeutic work. If a friend wants to see it, let them open RippleNav in their own session on their own device and step away while they use it.

What makes a good question to explore with RippleNav?

One that carries a feeling. RippleNav answers attention and emotion, so a question that matters to you gives it something to move on. A flat or indifferent question gets very little back, and that is not a failure, there is simply nothing there to see. Start with something warm, like someone you love, or something mildly annoying. Stronger feeling gives a stronger response.

How long should I watch before I decide anything?

Give it a minute or two in a calm moment. This first session is about meeting the instrument, not about judging it. If you are rushed or tired, come back when you are not.

The motion is very small. Is that normal at first?

Yes. A small, brief movement is enough, and it becomes easier to see with practice. Do not stare harder, keep a calm, steady attention.

How do I set the gain?

Leave the gain at its default to begin with, because the default suits most people. If the motion swings so widely that you cannot follow it, turn the gain down. If it barely moves at all, turn the gain up. Change it once, then watch for a minute before you change it again. Gain changes how much of the motion you can see, not what RippleNav reads.

Should I close my eyes or look away?

Keep your eyes on RippleNav. The motion is the answer, and you read it by watching.

Can I do this lying down, on a phone, or in bed?

Any screen and any comfortable position works. What matters is that you are calm and can watch without distraction.

Does a busy room or background noise matter?

It can. A quiet room helps at first, and loud distraction makes the motion harder to read. In a busy room expect less, and try again in a quieter moment.

Can someone else watch with me?

No. Use RippleNav alone, one person at a time. A second person following along blends their attention with yours and the reading answers neither of you. If you want to show a friend, let them use it in their own session on their own device and step away while they do.

Your question isn't here? RippleNav questions about how the practice applies to your own experience are answered personally via the paid question service ($5).
