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. I lead several groups in meditation in the years before COVID. 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

Hypnotherapeutic Guided Meditations....Let’s talk about the fact that these meditations are 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 of what to expect. 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 restroom available 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.

Hello!Thank you for considering coming to meditate with us. My name is Lara McIntyre and I am a retired RPC mental health counsellor, adult educator (in mental health) and clinical hypnotherapist. Before covid I had an active one on one practice and also lead deep, rejuvenating guided meditations for all levels at PJ Wren's Studio in Ladner Village. Covid changed a few things as you can probably relate to, including the closing of the space unfortunately.Once we could mingle again, my biggest issue was finding a space to allow me to keep the meditations very reasonable in cost. Then, my son moved out and a basement space became a redecoration project and now a meditation studio.You can find all sorts of information about my meditations on my website linked below. Please know we are a cat friendly household but the cats will not be in the room. I use hypnotic techniques in my meditations AND this is NOT mind control: only the deepest, calmest and most loving space created for my meditators to have health and peace suggested. (retired or no, I am bound to two ethical boards to operate only from the highest good.) The actual meditation time is about 35-40 minutes (although the sessions last 1 hour or a bit more for anything the meditators need afterward) with 3-5 minutes of silence: the rest is my voice guiding you. I ask people to let go of expectations and understand there is no wrong way to do this. It is my aim to provide a wee bit of peace in kinda crazy times.
The cost of the meditations is $20 and I accept cash, e-transfer or cheque. I currently am planning two days a month with 2 meditations on each of those days at 12:45 pm and a 6:45 pm. Right now those dates are February 4th and February 19th. I am located in Ladner very near Hawthorne Park (behind Hawthorne Elementary school).Please do look at the website for more indepth information. If you have any questions at all please contact me at [email protected]Wishing you a peaceful day,
~Lara
