Session Experience
Choose a moment in the session, start the sound, and let the visual respond. Everything is generated locally in your browser — nothing streams, nothing is uploaded, and any recording saves straight to your device.

How the Session Experience works, in text
- What it does
- Pairs a locally generated sound environment with a slow-moving visual field, organized around six named moments: Ground, Settle, Open, Deepen, Return and Integrate.
- What it uses
- Only the stage and settings you choose. Audio is synthesized in your browser, nothing is streamed or uploaded, and an optional recording is written directly to your own device.
- What you control
- Which stage is active, play and pause, volume, low-motion mode, hiding or showing the controls, and starting or stopping a local recording.
- What changes
- Each stage fades to a different sound texture and a matching palette and motion speed; changes are always faded, never abrupt, and there is no strobing or flashing.
- What it illustrates
- One example of a calm, consistent sensory setting of the kind used around supervised sessions. It illustrates an environment, not a protocol, and does not track or respond to how you feel.
- Limitations
- A sensory environment tool, not treatment, and no substitute for a clinician or a supervised setting. No claim is made that this sound or imagery changes any clinical outcome.
- Keyboard and screen reader
- Stage selection and transport are labelled keyboard-operable controls with visible focus; Escape restores hidden controls, and system reduced-motion preferences are honoured. The stages and what each contains are described in text on this page, so nothing is available only through the canvas.
Using it in a room
- Start quiet. Raise the volume slowly; every change is faded, never abrupt.
- Binaural material needs headphones; noise, drones, and bowls work on speakers.
- Hide controls for an immersive view — a subtle "Show controls" button always remains, and Escape brings the interface back.
- Use Low motion if visual movement is uncomfortable; motion preferences are respected automatically.
Safety notes
There is no strobing, flashing, or abrupt brightness change in this experience. Even so, do not use pulsing audio or motion-heavy visuals if you have photosensitive epilepsy or a seizure disorder without speaking to your clinician first.
