September 2020: A Note from Hope — I’m excited to introduce you to Richard Lanza, a Boston-based yoga and meditation teacher who, with musician Billy Bures, has created a series of Guided Meditations designed to assist you in accessing states of deep calm.
“What follows is often personal transformation and healing,” Richard explains, noting that each meditation offers a different experience and is built around specific intentions and goals for the shifts and changes you are attempting to accomplish.
“After listening to the Guided Meditation you typically will feel renewed and refreshed,” Richard adds. “By actively listening to these meditations new awareness and capabilities emerge. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience positive and profound changes in day-to-day life.”
To create the music, Billy let the spirit of meditation guide him. “From selecting pace of the music, the pitch and the keys, sounds have been woven with the goal of allowing the listener to drop into deeper states of meditation. Specific binaural beats have also chosen to enhance the experience of calm and relaxation.”
Within the HypnoMeditation are recordings of chimes and the chanting of OM, which were recorded at various energy sites.
“Each location was chosen because of the profound sense of peace one experiences there,” Richard shares, noting that the meditations contain subliminal or ‘whisper’ suggestions that provide reminders for clearing, calming, and self-empowerment. “These positive affirmations for the listener provide takeaways when the meditation is complete.”
A little background: I met Richard during a Yin Yoga Teacher Training level 2 course last month that was sponsored by my new favorite studio, Downtown Desert Yoga in Las Cruces, NM. Richard’s partner, Shawn Cornelison, was teaching the class with DDY owner Colleen Boyd. Richard joined us for a Q&A about his meditation teachings, and I was intrigued by his work. I think you will be, too!
