With her vast experience in the healing arts, therapist, Osho meditation instructor, and life coach Turiya Hanover is a natural for healing CDs. She also has a great German accent that’s both playful, a little humorous, relaxing, and undeniably authoritative. You want to do what she says, and you feel like she knows what she is talking about. She also conveys a sense of being deeply relaxed. When she tells you, “It’s all right to take your shoes off” and “let your toes circle a bit,” you can’t help but follow and feel yourself “Step by step / Opening.” Healing the Body is a 47-minute meditation that probes deeply into mind-body awareness, strengthening the connections, and guiding one’s attention toward effecting positive change and tranquility. It’s good for beginners because Hanover never ventures too far out too fast, and she never overdoes the visualization exercises. This is more of a hypnotic-suggestion sequence, relaxing us deeply and then leaving in our deepest centers the information for keeping our energy flowing and free of blocks.
The music that plays while Hanover speaks is a relaxing, repeating piano motif. It can get repetitive if you are only casually listening, but why would you want to do that? Tune in deeply and the music’s simplicity becomes a mantra that helps enhance one’s deep theta-wave brain activity. When the music changes to a wistful higher-octave bridge you can feel it working, melting and relieving your soul, opening up blocked energy in the chakras.
You might be thinking: I’m not good enough / That my body is too old or too fat or too ugly. / Just let these thoughts pass by, just like clouds through the sky, coming and going….” As she takes us deeper and deeper into the body, she guides us with the unfussy finesse of one who knows exactly where the trouble is and the shortest route to get there. The second track is just music for those practitioners who have drifted into a deep trance and want to just float for a while. And why shouldn’t you? When Hanover is on the job there’s nothing to worry about. Just let everything pass like clouds through the sky and know that you are˜in your own way, in this moment˜completely well and beautiful.
