Wander

Wander is a special library feature that allows you to automatically navigate 'hands-free" within DiscoveryNow, and enjoy a random preview of the library content.

Wandering is a great way to find new content, and explore a variety of areas within the library you may have not yet discovered.

☆ Note: Wander is only available in the default "Plex" view, which can be accessed on the top toolbar, next to the Search box.

Wander: Quick Start

Right-click on the adjacent navigation screen and select "Wander" to begin.
Left-click on the navigation screen to stop wandering.
Each time you wander a different, random series of pages will be displayed.
Links to previously visited pages (aka "thoughts") will appear in the "History" at the bottom of the adjacent navigation screen.
A list of your recently accessed "thoughts" will also be available when you click inside the search box on the top toolbar.

For those who are interested, more detailed information about the wander feature is provided below.

Wander: Overview

★ Tip: Be sure to enlarge your browser window into FULL view before you begin wandering.

Right-click on the colored background of the adjacent navigation screen from anywhere within DiscoveryNow. The "Wander" option will be located in a small context menu.
- Note: Your browser might ask for permission to use this feature. However, this access can be limited to your current browsing session, and it will not affect your default browser settings in any other way.

As soon as you select the "Wander" command, it will activate a hands-free, random preview of the content and resources within the DiscoveryNow library.

When you want to stop wandering, simply left-click on the background of the adjacent screen.
- To return home, simply click on the small "Home" icon located on the top toolbar.
- To return to this page, select "Pins" in the top toolbar, immediately next to the "Home" icon, and then select "Wander".

Wander: Hints & Tips

The most interesting and revealing wandering experiences usually occur when you initiate the wander process from within any of the more dense content areas in the DiscoveryNow library. In light of this, I recommend initiating the wander process on one of the library's the 4 main doorways:

If the wandering process moves beyond a thought you want to review, you can easily find this thought again in one of 2 places:
- in your navigation history located and tracked on the bottom of the adjacent navigation screen, or
- in the "Recent Thoughts" list located inside the search box.

Thoughts without any icons are placeholders for content that will be coming soon. However, many of these yet-to-be developed thoughts may already be linked in the library network to a variety of existing resources.

If you ever find yourself in a small content area where the wander process seems to be circulating through the same few thoughts, simply stop wandering, move to another different area of the library, and then begin wandering again.

Exploring the various display options within the library will also allow you to adjust TheBrain layout to enhance your wandering experience.

Wander: Benefits

Wandering is a great way to find and explore areas within the library you may have not yet discovered. Best of all, each time you begin wandering, you will explore a completely new path through the DiscoveryNow library.

Wandering can also be helpful when gathering ideas and resources for customizing your own personal approach to neural retraining.

Perhaps most importantly, DiscoveryNow's wander feature can be used as a starting point for reflection and meditation as part of your own spiritual practice.
- Initiate the wander process from anywhere within the DiscoveryNow library.
- When you find a topic, quotation, image or video that is especially relevant for you, you can use this resource as a focal point for deeper inquiry, reflection, journaling and meditation.
