This episode was originally broadcast Dec 1, 2017 In this week’s pre-session, Naomi Janzen reveals the Soul Repertory Company- that group of special friends who you travel thought time with together. This of course gets the conversation flying about reincarnation and Stephen touches upon Jainism, a little bit of quantum (Everything you want is already here …if you jump over linear time) and Naomi finishes off with dogs being reincarnation emissaries! This sets up the rest of the show where Naomi gives us a great time-hack and Stephen guides the meditation to encourage our time-lord superpowers! This is a lot of fun… 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. It was a fun way to get everyone settled and prepared for the journey to come, as well as a way to connect with us energetically.

Big “L” Love – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast June 30, 2017 Gotta admit it felt a bit lonely in the OML studio today with just Steve and myself at the mic. Being a “leap month” as we have nicknamed the months where there are 5 broadcast weeks instead of four, we find ourselves with a guest-guideless week and therefore a chance for Stephen Fearnley to finally grab the mic and run with it. He’s pretty excited about his turn leading a meditation. He’s only been hanging out to do it for – oh – three years! And he knows he’s going to do a love meditation so guess what we discussed in the pre-session! You got it… 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.

Song for Judy-Composer’s Choice by Stephen Fearnley
*Screen shot of instrumental layers : Song For Judy A few weeks ago I had a beautiful email from a member thanking me for the music I make. I was so touched that this month’s composer’s choice is composed and dedicated to Judy. In my email I replied: “… when I was 12 …I would play sustained, slow, ambient, Erik Satie/ dreamy Debussy-esque improvs to put my dad to sleep. He saw this as a very good investment in my music lessons! So, it goes way back, and I think this process was also dropping my own brainwave-states as well- and then Id record and play and speak on a cassette player, my own meditations.” My whole aim is to slow down the heart rate and drop your brainwave state as well as to take you on a journey. As a process, I imagine that I’m flying over an ever-changing landscape. These compositions are multi layered with interweaving layered sounds (polyphony- thankyou J.S.Bach) and I tend to get the whole structure down in the first sitting. Because I’ve been meditating for years, I can go into deeper brain states and still be composing/awake and I think the elevated ‘flying place’ placeSong for Judy-Composer’s Choice by Stephen Fearnley
Slow Rain and a Spot of Unity Consciousness by Stephen Fearnely
This months composer’s choice is an exploration of choral music. I was keen to layer a polyphony of ‘voices’ loosely based and hardly recognisable on the chord structure of the Righteous Brother’s Unchained Melody. Not that I was feeling particularly righteous. But I was thinking, that Unchained Melody reminded me of George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord and then the penny dropped: Nya Ha ! Both songs are prayers and there was my choral “devotional music “ connection. Major Key – Major Lift Everyone knows that Unchained Melody is a song of longing, deep, deep, longing. The way its delivered is clearly a love song for union with one’s beloved but it also doesn’t take much of a shift, to sing it as a prayer, seeking union with one’s sense of the Divine. A sense that one’s true home is Unity: Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Yes, lonely rivers sigh, “Wait for me, wait for me I’ll be coming home, wait for me” And then it just takes a comma after “God” to shift the focus of the song to missing one’s lover, to a direct statement to the Divine “speedSlow Rain and a Spot of Unity Consciousness by Stephen Fearnely
