Lotus Opening – by Stephen Fearnley
This month’s Composer’s Choice, “Lotus Opening”, is a meditation on a painting by Frank Wesley called “Krishna and Radha”. (see the full image below) It was painted by Frank for my 21st birthday in 1982. This is what I’ve said about it in other blogs: “This painting came about from long discussions with Frank about the origins of religious deities and the connection I saw between Pan and Krishna. The drawing alone took 3 months to complete. Another 3 months to paint. Frank Wesley was a prime influence on my creative and philosophical development. He taught me drawing, watercolour and calligraphy over the 6 years I’d visit him, once a week , after school. It was only after I left home, that he revealed that as a young man he was commissioned to make the funereal urn for Ghandi’s ashes.” This astonishing painting (more so if you know how difficult it is to paint watercolours!) resonates with me on so many levels: Krishna and Radha are dancing into being – the universe itself.

The Illusion Of Balance – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 28, 2015 We all strive for balance – and that place of peace we’re promised when we achieve it – even though most of us, most of the time, have trouble “finding that balance”. If that describes you, you might be relieved to hear of another way to look at the whole issue. In this pre-session chat we explore the idea that perhaps the journey itself – back and forth between the opposites of light and dark, masculine and feminine, happy and sad to which we are all so accustomed – can get us to exactly the same place. Listen to find out how… 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 Meaning Of Dreams – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 21, 2015 What DO they mean, anyway? Are they prophetic? Are they our psyche’s clearinghouse? Are they parallel world experiences that are just as relevant as the experiences we have in our waking lives? Today, we discussed some of these theories and the experiences we’ve had in our dreams. Be prepared for the discussion to get really…naked! And then, let’s hear about your dreams below!

What Is Intuition – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Aug 14, 2015 Our intuition told us to discuss intuition! This is one of those subjects that we could talk about forever. We’ve each experienced it in different ways and share our ideas about what exactly intuition is. How has intuition played a role in your life? We share some interesting stories in this discussion about how it’s impacted us – from inspiring big change to protecting us from harm. What’s your story of divine – or simply bodily – guidance?
