The Multi-Dimensional Heart March 08, 2011 |
HelloConnecting with HeartHeart Rhythm Meditation helps you heal, understand, develop, and energize your emotional heart, the center of all feeling, the container of love that is the essence of your being. In the book Energize Your Heart in 4 Dimensions Heart Rhythm Meditation develops the heart in all four dimensions: the horizontal, vertical, forward, and inner dimension of the heart. Your heart illuminates your life and powers your actions. Sufis call the heart the sun in your chest. Its light guides you and its warmth is what people love in you. By learning about the heart and giving it your attention and breath, your heart can expand its power in all directions. One of the goals of Heart Rhythm Meditation is to become conscious of our hearts so that we may be conscious of our effect on others, having more of an influence on the world than the world has upon us.
The Multi-Dimensional HeartThe dimensions of heart are:
Everyone has all the dimensions of heart but we all have certain dimensions which are stronger or more pronounced than others. For example someone who is very idealistic is said to have great height of heart. Someone who is very empathic has well developed depth to their heart. A courageous person is strong with the forward dimension and a broad-hearted person welcomes all with outstretched arms.
The Wide HeartIn heart rhythm meditation we do a practice called the Widening Breath. This practice is meant to develop the width of our hearts which includes the receptive left side and the expressive right side. We want to widen our hearts so that we can embrace all people and things and make our being into Peace.The Deep HeartThe downward breath practice is meant to develop the depth of our hearts. This dimension emphasizes the emotions that connect us to each other and to states of being that we have in common. The deep heart is empathetic and compassionate. You are able to feel what others feel. In the depth we are all united like the roots of the trees.The Elevated HeartA heart rhythm practice called the rising breath develops the height of our hearts and gives us optimism and idealism. You probably know someone who is very idealistic. We could say they have great height in their heart.This heart has the ability to lift you out of depression. People with elevated hearts feel joy easily, look on the bright side of every situation, and aspire to the ideal in all matters. The Driving HeartA heart with a strong forward dimension is powerful, unstoppable, courageous, charismatic, generous, a natural leader. The driving heart is confident, practical and creative. It can accomplish whatever it desires.The Full HeartA full heart is radiant and glows from within. It creates a quiet self-confidence and sense of freedom.With a full heart, you are always at home, harmonized with your surroundings and the people you’re with, in touch with your emotions, desires, and the life-long wish of your heart. --Puran and Susanna Bair
Heart Rhythm MeditationI offer heart rhythm meditation practices on the healthy heart meditation website. There are free meditations you can read and listen to which introduce you to heart rhythm meditation.I offer two Heart Rhythm Meditation courses for download. Volume I is a comprehensive introduction to heart rhythm meditation called Connecting with Heart. From posture, to breath to heartbeat you will learn to connect with your heart in a way you never imagined! Volume II is Diving Into the Heart which takes you deeper. You learn the swinging breath and how to use the breath for your heart's guidance. In Heart's breath your heart becomes the center of the universe and it pulls the breath into itself. Then we do the heart's magnetism practice where you feel your own magnetism radiating out from your heart. You create waves of peace and send them out into the world to whomever you want. This is called harmony or heart coherence. There's even biofeedback devices which show us our magnetic field by showing us our heart rhythms. These devices actually can know how we are feeling by the way our heart rhythms look. You can learn to create coherent heart rhythms which is healthy for your heart and which is a state of balance and harmony. The two courses together are 8 weeks of Heart Rhythm Practice. They include my great step-by-step handouts for each practice, audio mp3s you can listen to anytime and anyplace for each practice, video instruction, and more descriptions and discussion of the heart's dimensions and what it means to live from the heart. All of this is actually simple to learn and practice. If you want to learn how to meditate you can. If you want to deepen your meditation practice you can do it. Add the dimensions of heart to your existing practices and expand your consciousness. Jump into the healthy heart meditation website and look around, bookmark and share with your friends.
