Lance and I talk about following your inner knowing, meditations and healings through the music of the flute and so much more

Show notes-Lance Israel

 Lance Israel has always had a natural connection with music and grew up singing and performing. At the age of 21 he was given his first flute in Maui, Hawaii. It was a little unassuming bamboo flute that synchronistically began what he now refers to as the unexpected magical flute journey. Now, nearly 30 years later, Lance has acquired a core collection of about 17 wooden and bamboo flutes from around the world and has recorded 4 cds including Under the Banyan Tree which was recorded back on Maui 13 years after receiving that first flute. He’s had many fortunate opportunities to bring this soothing music to varied contexts for meditation, healing and enjoyment. He played as a Bedside Musician at the Flagstaff Medical Center for over 4 years, used his instruments in his position as Spiritual Consultant and Meditation Specialist at a residential treatment center in southern Arizona and spent 2 and a half years with 4th and 5th graders in a multi-sensory space cultivating awareness and self-regulation to promote greater harmony in their lives and relationships. He enhanced his offering at The International School of the Healing Arts in San Diego, California, has also been a guest musician at several schools, churches, Farmer’s markets, and homes. Lance is also available for private events and individual sessions where the Spirit combined with the music supports people in letting go of old traumas and honing in on the tone of their own existence, restoring harmony to mind body and soul. “My mission is to assist people to remember and cultivate their essential connection to experience more joy and meaning in all their relationships. Lane’s dream is for all people to remember how deeply loved and intimately connected we all are.”
