I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting famous author, educator, counselor and motivational speaker John Bradshaw while he was giving one of his lectures and healing sessions, The Home Coming meditation.

He so graciously chose to use the Going Home Medley from my Going Home Again CD, which gave him the most relaxing and unobtrusive opening for his audiences in order to lead them to the most ideal mental state for his healing session.

I had the privilege of being invited to one of these presentations in Oakland, California. It took place in this large stadium-like auditorium with literally thousands of people present.

Before he began his guided meditation with the Going Home music as his background, I noticed that he had a medical staff standing by each of the tables.

Having never attended one of these guided meditations under his magnificent direction, I discovered the powerful tool that music and guided imagery had in improving one’s wellness and lifestyle of forgiveness and openness.

The audience members were then drawn into the pathways of their childhood memories and emotions, which were comprised of positive as well as negative experiences. It was then it occurred to me why they had the medical staff available. They were there to assist the individuals who were having the most challenging experiences with this guided meditation and to provide a secure environment which is protected and safe while going through this powerful experience of release and freedom.

After the guided imagery, Mr. Bradshaw then took a break while his medical staff assisted with helping his very enthusiastic audience, and I then had the privilege of spending some time speaking with him and other staff members.
