Horizon Dreaming – by Stephen Fearnley
“Now, bring me that horizon.” – Captain Jack Sparrow December’s Composer’s Choice selection, “Horizon Dreaming” is all about the journey. Like Jack Sparrow’s quote, he seeks to be engulfed in endless space, no landfall. All distance, timelessness, boundless and unfettered. I get this feeling when I drift into sleep. I certainly get it when meditating. This music is a meditation in itself. Another image also came to mind whilst composing “Horizon Dreaming”: When I first taught myself to meditate at the age of 15 , I would imagine myself on a raft, bathed in sunshine, floating safely down river to the ocean. This river had no sides, everywhere a horizon. And I was safe. No crocodiles and unexpected waterfalls – a big wide amazon of gentle movement, set-adrift and trusting. This of course brings up “surrender” …or as I prefer to see it “ non-resistance”. Something that Jack Sparrow also knows a lot about: “Now, bring me that horizon” clearly states that an adventure can certainly be had with the unknown.

How To Open Your Heart – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Nov 20, 2015 We all felt the world could use a big heart-shaped hug today so we opened the doors to allow non-members to listen in and join us for the live meditation. To ease in, we started our pre-session chat 30 minutes before, instead of the usual 15 minutes before, and the extra time allowed us to explore a range of heart-related subjects. We went from broken hearts (can your heart really be broken? what does a broken heart feel like? Isn’t it more of a big gaping hole?) to the value of vulnerability to the truth of what our hearts are really made of… 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.
