Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM) is a collection of embodied practices that build resiliency and improve one’s physical, psychological (mental, emotional) and spiritual heath. Daily HRM practice, results in reduced blood pressure, improved immune response, increased lung capacity, an increased ability to regulate your emotions, and increased capacity to focus on what matters to you in life. Central to HRM practices is embodiment: identification and activation of sensations in your body; perceiving the presence of physical and energetic breath, embodied heart, and mental and emotional states in the body. Embodied heart refers to the physical heart, its heartbeat, your emotion, your energetic state, and connectedness to others. Mental states refer to our intellect, reason, and capacity for the symbolic and conceptual thinking. We use the term energy both symbolically and literally. Anything you do takes energy – all of life is a constant flow of energy. When we focus our conscious minds on the posture, breath, and heartbeat, the unconscious flows into our awareness and our sense of reality expands beyond the physical to include the imaginal. HRM practically applies mystical principles of heart, centered purpose directed life through application of intention, attention, posture, sensation, inspiration, and invocation. Material used in this 4-week are primarily from the book Living from the Heart written by Susanna and Puran Bair: based on teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, a musician and mystic born in India; taught in America and Europe. His mystical writing strongly correlates to depth psychology, in particular Carl Jung, James, Hillman, Robert Bosnak with central message of divinity residing in every heart of humanity.
