    <title>The brand new -- University of the Heart</title>
    <link>http://www.healthy-heart-meditation.com/heart-meditation-blog.html#The-brand-new----University-of-the-Heart</link>
    <description>I want to post an announcement from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://iamheart.org&quot; target=_blank&gt;Institute for Applied Meditation&lt;/a&gt; about the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iam-u.org&quot; target=_blank&quot;&gt;University of the Heart&lt;/a&gt; which is being launched this week. This is very exciting. I will share the media blog release with you here. This is a two year program and Heart Rhythm Meditation is the master practice. Read the program description and see how amazing and powerful this meditation is.

--In two weeks we launch the IAM University of the Heart, dedicated to the direct experience of the physical-emotional-energetic-spiritual heart! Inspired by Hazrat Inayat Khan, Rumi, St. Francis, Walt Whitman, Shakespeare, and other great masters, saints and prophets who have demonstrated the love, harmony and beauty of an open heart.

We have assembled a comprehensive curriculum to share the skills and insights that are necessary in the pursuit of illumination.

Here are the teachings and practices of the worlds great mystics in a post-graduate program. Students will receive a rigorous training that leads to spiritual illumination, and may receive a Masters Degree in Theology (through our affiliation with Holos University) and, when were accredited, a degree in Applied Meditation directly from IAM-U.

The program is 50 online through the latest video conferencing and virtual classroom technology, and 50 in-residence on the east or west coast of the U.S. Beside your study and practice from home, you will join with your class for two 5-day group retreats, two 12-day residence intensives with Puran and Susanna Bair, one individual retreat, and monthly calls or video conference sessions with your mentor. Learn more here.


Weve devised experiential tests that will demonstrate your ability to meditate effectively to the point that you can modify reality-- establish a coherent heart rhythm that organizes your entire physical body and transmits peace into the environment, demonstrate the electromagnetic vibration that heals tissues, change the pH of water to purify it, feel the emotional state of a person at a distance, reduce violent crime in a distant city. 

These and other practical effects are the result of applied Heart Rhythm Meditation, the basis of we teach at IAM-U.

Join us on Saturday, September 4th, when the path of the heart will be presented in a free, day-long seminar featuring the founders of IAM, Puran and Susanna Bair, the President of IAM-U, Asatar Bair, members of the faculty and guest speakers. Meditation and music will be shared.--</description>

    <title>Water Breath</title>
    <link>http://www.healthy-heart-meditation.com/easy-meditation-techniques.html</link>
    <description>There are different ways to breathe in meditation practice. Typically we breathe in and out of the nose. This creates an effect on us after practicing 10-20 minutes. Another way to breathe is in through the nose and out through the mouth. As you exhale do it like you were gently blowing out through a straw. The direction of your exhale is forward and down. Make your inhales as long as your exhale by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.healthy-heart-meditation.com/techniques-how-to-meditate.html&quot;&gt;counting 6 or 8 beats&lt;/a&gt; of your heart or just using your pulse. This makes your inhales and exhales the same length. 

This type of breath is called the water breath or the downward breath. Its effect on us is different than the breath in and out the nose. This is a very calming breath. Do this with your eyes closed and visualize the color green as you do the breath.</description>

    <description>I recently was feeling stuck about something. No movement. Frustration. So I concentrated on making my exhales complete. A full exhale represents accomplishment or giving all that is in our hearts. And the full exhale allows for a full inhale. And the full inhalation gives us power. The full inhale is required to make the leap into meditation. This gets me unstuck.</description>
