Where to Start
If you need help deciding where to start, we suggest reading an important message from Orin about his courses and the Path of Self-Realization that he is offering. This message and article can assist you in selecting what courses may be right for you at this time. We also have a list of  recommended products to help you decide what audio, books, or music might be of interest to you. If you have read any of our books and wish to deepen your experience and skill with that area that is a great place to start. Read about the audio courses that have been designed to go with that book.

Will I Be Able to Stream or Download Audio that I Order?s
Digital audio that you order will be in your Member Area and as long as you are logged in you will be able to stream it to your listening device.
You can also download the audio from your Member Area. With Apple devices, after downloading programs to your computer, you will then need to bring the audio into iTunes or a similar app, then sync to your iPad, iPhone, or other Apple devices. Except for digital content purchased directly from an Apple website, Apple does not allow users of other websites to download the digital files directly to and iPad or iPhone.
If you are unsure about whether you will be able to stream or download a purchase that you are considering: please practice on the free meditations that we offer in Orin's meditation room. Downloading or streaming from our website is easy, and very similar to many other websites.

Stores Where I Can Purchase Your Audio Courses and Books
You can search the internet for places that sell our printed books, as well as in eBook format. Our audio meditation courses are available only from us on this website, and from a small group of our qualified teachers. Any other audio meditations that you find online are "pirated" audio, and are likely to be of inferior audio quality or will come with Malware. We appreciate you for supporting our work which is protected by U.S.A. and international copyright law by ordering directly from LuminEssence.
