Why should I meditate?
By beginning Heart Rhythm Meditation, concentrating on your heartbeat and breath, you will develop and sustain the power to concentrate — the key to accomplishing any goal. Proceeding, you will resolve the wounds of your emotional heart and discover your greatest qualities and your unique purpose in life. Heart meditation will inspire solutions to your problems; create deeper, closer relationships and expand your influence so that you have more effect upon your world than your world has upon you.
Heart Rhythm Meditation also provides important health benefits, making the immune system and physical heart strong. By breathing with your heart, you will greatly increase your physical and emotional capacity to handle stress.
Inspiration, self-mastery, joy, fearlessness and peace are among the results of Heart Rhythm Meditation. See more physical, emotional and spiritual benefits.
How is this meditation different?
Heart Rhythm Meditation is an advanced meditation originating 2000 years ago and updated with modern biology and physics.
It is not connected to any one religion or tradition, but it is decidedly western in its approach and philosophy.
Heart Rhythm Meditation produces a cosmic experience described by the phrase: "I am a part of all things and all things are a part of me."
This heart meditation has the goal of focusing the infinite into the heart center to reconstruct the individual self according to one’s essential template. Heart Rhythm Meditation integrates the body, mind and emotions, producing profound relaxation with increased alertness and Central Nervous System activity, a powerful, stabilizing pattern of heart rate variability (HRV), and radiant light from the heart.
In contrast to heart meditation, transcendent meditation methods lift consciousness above the physical self and environment toward the abstract, infinite, and impersonal. Transcendent methods from the spiritual traditions of Buddhism and Vedanta produce dissociation, decreased central nervous system activity, possibly irregular heartbeats, and unfocused thought.
The popular Transcendental Meditation (TM) is derived from Vedanta, and some clinical stress-reduction methods are a simplification of TM. Mindfulness meditation is derived from Buddhism.
Both heart meditations and transcendent meditations have their usefulness, but heart meditations are especially designed to be practical in life. Heart Rhythm Meditation was designed to be applied to your health, relationships, and purposeful accomplishments in the world.
Heart Rhythm Meditation proceeds in three stages through nine steps toward the goal of Illumination.
How do I get started?
Unless you are already connected to a group of Heart Rhythm Meditators, it is recommended to start with a book or recording . We have free podcasts. Some people are able to learn and sustain it on their own, but most people need help in mastering the practice.
There are many advantages to sharing Heart Rhythm Meditation with a group, either with or without a teacher. If someone recommended this website to you, you’ve been given a great advantage — you have someone to discuss it with, to share your experiences and questions. We hope you make opportunities to practice together with your friends. Then you’ll find what every meditator finds — the experience is very much stronger in a group than alone.
To learn Heart Rhythm Meditation as part of a group and from an experienced teacher, you can enroll in an online course or an iamHeart Group Meditation Retreat. There are also local classes in the USA and Europe.
