THE EXPERIENCE

THE COMPLETE BUNDLE
For this limited-time promotion, receive the complete digital book and the journal together.
Maybe you've experienced something you couldn't explain: a strange dream, a feeling of floating, a moment of unusual awareness, or an experience that felt more vivid than an ordinary dream.
Or perhaps you've simply carried one question that never went away:
“What am I beyond this physical body?”
Very few people are taught how to explore consciousness for themselves. This book gives you a structured place to begin.
Don't just wonder. Explore.
UNDERSTANDING OBE
Explore the concepts and reports surrounding conscious out-of-body experiences.

INTEGRATION

THE QUESTION
You may experience unusual sensations, vivid imagery, floating, movement or a different sense of awareness or you may discover something unexpected about yourself.
Every experience is different. That's what makes the journey fascinating.
THE TRANSFORMATION
It's about discovering what the experience might teach you about yourself.

INNER PEACE
Develop practices that encourage deep relaxation, reflection and greater awareness.
SELF-DISCOVERY
Explore questions about identity, consciousness, dreams and personal experience.
SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION
Create space for meaningful experiences and questions without requiring a particular belief system.

1. Our Commitment to Customers
At Leaving the Lighthouse, we want every customer to have a clear and positive purchasing experience.
This Refund Policy explains how we handle requests relating to ebooks, digital journals, audio experiences, downloadable guides, and digital bundles.
We review refund requests individually and respect all mandatory consumer rights applicable to your purchase.
2. Digital Products
Our products are generally supplied electronically. Depending on the product, delivery may occur through an email, download link, or online access page.
Before purchasing, please review the product description, included materials, format, price, and delivery information.
Because digital products can be supplied and accessed electronically, the rules for change-of-mind cancellations may differ from those for physical goods.
However, the fact that a product is digital does not automatically eliminate your right to a refund or another remedy where applicable law provides one.
3. When You May Request a Refund
You may contact us to request a refund or another appropriate remedy in circumstances including:
You were charged more than once for the same purchase.
Your payment was successful, but you did not receive the purchased product.
A download link or file is defective and the problem cannot be resolved within a reasonable time.
The product supplied is materially different from its description.
Your circumstances qualify for a refund, cancellation, or other remedy under applicable law.
You have another legitimate concern about your purchase that requires review.
We assess each request based on the circumstances, the product supplied, the information provided at checkout, and applicable legal requirements.
4. Change-of-Mind Requests
If you change your mind after purchasing a digital product, you may still contact us and explain your circumstances.
We will consider your request individually. Approval is not automatic, and any decision will take account of the terms disclosed before purchase and any rights provided by applicable law.
Where the law provides a cancellation or refund right, we will honour that right.
5. How to Request a Refund
Email support@leavingthelighthouse.com with the following details:
Your name.
The email address used at checkout.
Your order number or transaction reference, if available.

We aim to acknowledge refund enquiries within 3 business days and provide an update or decision as soon as reasonably possible.
Some requests may take longer if additional information is needed or the payment provider must investigate a transaction.
We may ask for reasonable information to verify the purchase or understand the problem. We will not use this process to delay or deny a remedy that is legally required.
7. Approved Refunds
Where a refund is approved, it will generally be returned through the original payment method where possible.
The time required for the funds to appear in your account depends on the payment provider, bank, or card issuer.
If the original payment method is no longer available, we will contact you to discuss an appropriate lawful alternative.
8. Bundles and Bonus Materials
Some purchases may include multiple products, such as an ebook and journal bundle, or additional digital bonuses.
If you request a refund for a bundle, please identify the complete offer purchased. We will review the circumstances and any applicable product-specific terms.
The inclusion or delivery of bonus materials does not automatically remove any consumer rights relating to the purchase.
9. Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict, or waive rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or waived.
Depending on the transaction and applicable law, customers may have rights relating to defective or misdescribed products, electronic transactions, cancellation, unfair terms, or other consumer protections.
