Playing the Reflections:
Each reflection is created as a PowerPoint show which means once you start the presentation; it will play through to the end. Depending on your computer, it may be advisable to save the presentation to your desktop before playing. You can easily do this by simply opening the CD and dragging the file to your desktop.
BONUS CD
After producing the original version of this resource, it was discovered that the music for 3 of the presentations did not play on all computers. Therefore a bonus CD has been included with different versions of the music.
