Richard Pharaoh Learmont

I’ve attended a couple of Richard Learmont’s guided sound meditations held at Sol Yoga. In the meditation, he uses several instruments such as Tibetan gongs, bowls, bells, didgeridoo, drums, vocal tones and more.
The focus of the meditation is to reconnect you with your inner knowing or intuition, thus further uniting you with the universe. The meditation is meant to provide relaxation to allow the release from the clutch of emotional reactions such as anger, sadness, fear, etc. Richard also teaches that in everyday life we can choose to honor or dishonor ourselves by our level of acceptance (complete, partial or non acceptance) in a situation and to transform our challenges into opportunities.
At the end of the meditation, he places blessed oil (which he blessed himself) in the palm of your hands for aromatherapy. Richard then asks if you wish to share or discuss your experience without fear of ridicule or judgment.
Personally, I’ve found the guided sound meditations beneficial as it has offered peace of mind and a «Zen like» attitude. My stress dissipated, my anger transformed to understanding, my sadness into strength and my fear to utter acceptance.
