HEART-CENTERED MEDITATION

Moving from the Intellect to the Wisdom of the Heart

Spiritual healing might bring to mind a variety of images for different people: divine intervention curing terminal disease, cripples able to walk, or a change of heart by a mean-spirited person. For others, spiritual healing may be a view of life in purely optimistic terms, an uplifting inspirational approach to living. And still others might believe that following a religious, scriptural interpretation of life brings truth and peace into their lives.

Maybe the challenge is not to be limited in our perception of human nature, healing and the scope of spirituality. Suppose we approach the rigors and difficulties in our lives as if they were messengers?

Ancient approaches to spirituality and healing encompassed the whole relationship of a person to themselves, their family and society. More specifically, the cultivation of one's essential nature as a human being fostered virtuous behavior, enabling the culture to flourish. Throughout all religious and spiritual traditions, the Heart is referenced as the center of spiritual life within the body and its development is primary to fulfilling one's human potential.

Heart~Centered Meditation helps people learn how to access their heart to find their True Self. This very simple and natural meditation practice helps a person to face themselves while staying connected to their heart. In so doing, one can open to their motivations and needs, allowing for a new experience of themselves in the context of the old, recurrent conflict.

One might wonder how meditation can be taught. Don’t you merely sit, clear your mind and feel peaceful? Try stopping your thoughts and you will find it is easier said than done! A person can be assisted to meditate when encouraged to acknowledge subtle, yet noteworthy thoughts, emotional activity and physical responses, while maintaining a connection from the heart. Opening to the heart in meditation we learn how to sense energy in the physical body and begin to feel a flow of energy. This energy may at times move us physically. Along with the physical energy, a person can experience the flow of emotional influences and the possible inhibitions they present. Often a natural compassionate response is an emotional easing under the direction of the heart's connection. The benefit from the meditation extends to an ever-building relationship of trust in oneself during life's daily activities.
