Heart Meditation

* Heart Meditation *

This is an advanced method. The heart meditation is recommended for experienced mediators because of the level of visualization involved. Visual meditation methods tend to be more difficult to achieve.

- This is one of my favorite methods because of the feelings it produces. This meditation can bring about marvelous emotions that are ineffable.

The Method

1. Breathe deeply counting your breaths from 1 to 11. If you lose your count start again. Do at least 3-4 cycles before the following visualization.

2. Think of your heart. Place your awareness on it.

3. Try to visualize yourself looking out from the perspective of your chest. Remain there for a moment.

4. Feel what its like. Breathe in what the rest of your body’s feeling. At this point just rest on this perspective. Have your conscious mind just rest where your heart is and just feel what your body is doing. You may have to focus for 5 minutes or so before a significant feeling develops.

5. You may get this pleasant heavy feeling around your chest. The feeling is very satisfying. Your spine may be resonating with a delicious energy, or some other pleasant feeling may occur. Try to maintain this feeling. The longer your keep it in your concentration, the more the feeling that develops.
