Evening Prayer – O Gladsome Light! – by Stephen Fearnley
I quite often bump into a paradox when making sacred music for OML : Im very conscientious of composing music that feels like a journey or perhaps a landscape or a space that can embrace a very singular intention- such as love or peace or wellbeing or even a specific chakra or even a colour . At the same time – and heres the paradox – this soundscape has to be pared down in detail so that it doesn’t get in the way of your own experience. More like a sandy path that provides a direction – to stop you wandering just enough to keep you in a place that is intrinsically aimed at deep thought- so you can reach alpha brainwave states without trying. This month’s composer’s choice is called Evening Prayer – a universal practise that is found in all religious and sacred rituals. You will notice this universality in the instruments I’ve chosen, even including some slightly detuned Indonesian bells primarily to keep your mind present so you don’t drift off too soon… Ive even referenced ( not sampled) a rhythmic sequence from a song called “ Teardrop” by Massive Attack (1998).

Smoothing Out The Brain Wrinkles – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 26, 2016 Why are we so scared of tigers, here at One Mind Live? Could it be our brain wrinkles?…Okay now let’s be serious. Yes, we do discuss tigers and brain wrinkles in this pre-session – but it’s because we’re discussing that prickly subject: anxiety. We share how we feel it and how we deal with it, how it can be your body telling you things are a bigger deal that you consciously know…and, okay, then we talk about how scary koalas and wombats are. Because Australia… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

The Mother Of All Conversations – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 19, 2016 We have a feeling this is going to be a multi-part chat. The subject of “mother” is too big to even overview, let alone cover, in 15 minutes. But in this chat we at least crack open the hatch door and peer in – and, surprisingly, we come up with two pretty good strategies for dealing with your mother-related pain which just might be of use to you (if you have any…ie, if you’re human)… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.
