Heart Meditation

Personal Heart Meditation



I like to do what I have entitled, Heart Meditation. What is my Heart Meditation? My Heart Meditation is when I meditate on each beat of my heart, consciously blocking out that which is physical and going on outside of me, and focusing exclusively on that which is Spiritual.


Here is how I practice Heart Meditation. I pick a place that is as quiet as possible and sit in a comfortable position; for me that position is sitting with my legs crossed and my back straight in what is called the Lotus Position. However, you can sit or even lay in whatever position that is comfortable to you. Some say that you should not lie down when meditating because you might go to sleep. Nevertheless, I feel that lying down is okay, even if you go to sleep, because if you have entered into the state of inward spiritual meditation it does not matter if you are conscious or unconscious, you will still reap the same benefits. However, when doing the Heart Meditation and you are lying down, you must be able to stay awake long enough to sense your physical heart beat for a minute at the least.


To consciously feel and hear the heartbeat is to be conscious of one of the most grand and most amazing blessings and gifts we receive directly from SPIRIT while we are in physical form. I say that because I see each heartbeat as a personal blessing given to me by SPIRIT, the Creator of all things, and the Divine Giver of life. Also, to me each heartbeat is SPIRIT saying directly to me; I Love You! There is nothing more Wonder-Full than SPIRIT personally telling me, I Love You!


I invite you to try Heart Meditation, and see what it does for you. When you try it, know that you can and should do it in whatever way best works for you. Just as there are many ways to reach a physical destination, there are many ways to meditate, and reach that Spiritual place of enlightenment and awakening. Early morning meditation prepares us the day at hand.
