MOVING THE BALL RIGHT OR LEFT (CONTROL KNOB)

To move the ball – and the fan nozzle – right or left around the console, turn the control knob.
Turning it clockwise will move the fan in a counter-clockwise direction, and turning it counter-
clockwise will move the fan in a clockwise direction.

Exercise #4:

Concentrate until the ball is floating as high as you can get it. Turn the control knob

and move the ball all the way around the console, trying to keep the ball at the same height.

Exercise #5:

Once you reach the end, relax your thoughts until the ball is floating as low as you

can get it. Now turn the control knob in the opposite direction and move the ball back the other
way, maintaining the low height of the ball.

Exercise #6:

Press ENTER to end the game.

Congratulations! By completing this Quick Start you have begun
to master the power of your mind! Now it’s time to tackle the obstacles!
