The Heart Meditation

We are multi-dimensional beings living in a multi-dimensional reality; yet we can only point in three dimensions: back and forth, to and fro, up and down.

It turns out that the higher dimensions "feel" as if they are in the heart vortex.

Since God, your Deeper Self, your expression as an angel, your other lifetimes, and so on are other-dimensional beings, it follows that, to connect with them, you must direct your thoughts within rather than without.

The Heart Meditation supports this. Adopt a relaxed position, sitting or lying down. Breathe deeply and steadily. As you breathe, direct your consciousness to your heart area and “feel around” there. You are looking for one, specific, spot in which you feel love most strongly. This is not a subtle effect, but it may take you two or three meditations to find it, and more to be able to lock onto it and stay there for most of the meditation time. Still, it is very worth the effort.

As you are directing your consciousness to the Heart Center, you may also direct your prayers, hopes, and expectations there. You’ll find your prayers are much more effective when directed within.

The meditation should last about forty minutes. If you fall asleep during the meditation, that’s a sign that you are not getting enough sleep. As with any meditation, should unwanted words, pictures, etc., enter the mind, thanks them and gently push them aside. You have not “failed” in your meditation; it is a normal part of the process and, in fact, the pushing aside of these thoughts is what makes meditation different from daydreaming.
