Well hello there!Although born during the summer of love, LAMI is not my hippie dippy given name -darn it- but rather my initials. Call me LAMI or Lara, just not late for dinner!Why come play with me? For those who need them (I SO needed them!) I do have some earthly type creds: clinical hypnotherapist, retired RPC counsellor & adult educator. AND I am very semi-woowoo: grounded in the physical yet homesick for the stars.My passions are diverse but one that has been with me since I was 17 years old is guided meditation. I think subconsciously I went down my education path to justify leading others in meditation. Now, I lead deep hypnosis meditations for small groups in my wee cave to my ever expanding glee.I hope to make a home for my fellow spiritual or spi-curious peeps who long for a safe place to be. All are welcome who treat the others with the respect each Soul deserves for being on this crazy earthly plane.You'll find a few choices with me: meditation, longer workshops, spiritual discussion, art, and writing.As in all areas of life, please enjoy what serves and leave the rest.

About the Meditations

Hypnotheraputic Guided Meditations....Let’s talk about the fact that this meditation is based on clinical hypnotherapy. Please know that hypnotherapy is not mind control. You may have heard of stage hypnotists who get people to bark or quack or entertain the audience in many perhaps unethical ways. The stage hypnotist is trained to find the type of people who want to be wide open and love to be the life of the party; or they find people who have little in the way of boundaries and are easily suggestible.
Clinical hypnotherapists are bound by ethics to help their clients and never suggest harmful or uncomfortable situations. I have had clients lie to me to protect their secrets. And in the actual therapy the clients are hyperaware of everything, conversing with me and working hard.That’s well and good, but what about the meditations?You most likely will not find yourself hyperaware. You may even fall asleep. (Don’t worry about that, your subconscious mind is still reaping in the benefits.) And, this is not an interactive therapy session so you will not be conversing or making any noises.How the meditation sessions unfold:The actual meditation part of the session will be between 30-60 minutes, depending on the level of experience.
The doors open at 15 minutes before the hour and people arrive and get comfortable. The doors will be closed at the top of the hour and no one else will be allowed to enter.
I will start with a little explanation, if there are people new to our group. We want everyone to feel safe in the room.
I will encourage you all to make yourself comfortable. The room will be kept at around 20-21 degrees year round. I have blankets and pillows but do bring anything you’d like for your own comfort: yoga mat, your own blankets, foot coverings etc. Filtered lemon water will be available for your refreshment. There is a bathroom in the space as well.I will guide you deeply into a safe place within your subconscious where, depending on our meditation’s theme, I will offer up healing, self-loving and/or calming suggestions for your body and mind to absorb. There will be between 3 (beginner) and 15 (intermediate) minutes of silence in the meditations. Some people love that quiet time, others struggle. I have experienced both so I get it: the silence can be daunting. I will always post which level of meditation is happening.Then I will lead you out of your meditation. No one is rushed off; you take your time coming back to your fully aware self. And, if you want to leave immediately after, that is your prerogative. I have scheduled us for about 20-30 minutes after for people who want to stick around, discuss, ask questions or just bask in the relaxation. There are no musts or have tos.
