Coordinate your Internal Rhythms with Heart Rhythm MeditationHeart Rhythm Meditation (HRM) is an ancient method of meditation that has been expanded and developed by Puran and Susanna Bair of the Institute for Applied Meditation. The method is described in the books Living from the Heart,and Energize Your Heart in 4 Dimensions, by Puran and Susanna Bair. No one need ask,'What shall I gain by meditation? In what ways shall I benefit?' If one only knew, it is by means of meditation that all is gained. Hazrat Inayat Khan
HRM has been practiced for many centuries, dating back to both early Christianity and Sufism, with traces in Buddhist practices as well. In Christian monasteries, this meditation was known as the Prayer of the Heart and is described in the old Russian classic The Way of the Pilgrim. Different traditions worldwide have developed practices which synchronize breath and heartbeat, including heartbeat drumming in various tribal cultures. Heart Rhythm Meditation is a practical method for enhancing life through the transforming power of the heart. By heart, we mean both the physical heart that synchronizes the cells in the body to a common beat, and the poetic heart that inspires our greatest emotions and accomplishments. Through Heart Rhythm Meditation, we can create a harmonious state where our heart, mind and body are united in a feeling of wholeness. This state is often referred to as the Zone, the Flow, Oneness, or Connection to the One Heart. This practice can help heal our physical heart by increasing heart rate variability. The meditation can help heal the heart's emotional wounds as well through the simple practice of synchronizing the heartbeat with the breath. The method of HRM involves conscious breathing, use of the full lung capacity, a concentration on the heart and an intervention in the breath to make it rhythmic, through the coordination of the breath and heartbeat.
