Meditation Guru Venugopal
Pranams to
my guru Dr.Sujatha.
Namaste brothers and sisters. Today we will perform a very powerful meditation technique that will change the course of your life - Hrudaya Spandana Dhyanam - the healing heart meditation.
Heart is the
seat of Love, Compassion, Kindness and Forgiveness. Being aware about how it
feels is a way to connect with our authentic self.
Very often
we tend to forget the basic emotions we feel. They are nothing but a
communication from our heart about what we are going through in our life. It
can be about our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Our lives
have changed so much; we are dragging ourselves through an excruciatingly
painful day after day...unaware that we are under stress. You will more than
agree with me if I say “we are breathing in stress and breathing out disease
& disorders”.
Meditation
helps in naturally shifting from the stressful state (fight or flight) to a
relaxed state by switching off the sympathetic and switching on the
parasympathetic nervous system thereby triggering the release of
neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin which help to de-stress &
behave calmly in stressful situations.
Hrudaya Spandana - Healing
Heart Meditation – the technique:
Sit
comfortably in your favorite place and close your eyes. Keep your hands on
your lap in Gnyan or yoga mudra (gently touch the index finger and the thumb).Take
five deep breathings. Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale even slowly
through the mouth (as we use in Shanti Pranayama). Be aware to breathe out more
slowly and focus fully on it. You will
start feeling a lot more relaxed now. Start breathing normally with inhale and
exhale through the nose.
Keep your
left hand on your heart. Feel the emotions of your heart. It will communicate
with you about how it is feeling...it can be positive or negative but it is a
true reflection of the emotions you have stored in the dark corners of your
heart. Listen to it without any
judgement. Don’t edit it. Just feel it. It will guide you. Stay here for a few
minutes and pay attention to your feelings.
Gently thank
your heart for the valuable communication. With a smile on your face, take deep
breathings again...inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Feel
the relaxation waves vibrating throughout the body.
Practice the
healing heart meditation for 21 days continuously to witness a complete
transformation in your life.
When you
practice it regularly:
1.You will see
a perfect balance in your moods and emotions. You will start respecting your
true feelings and they will guide you to complete peace of mind.
2.Stress
levels come down as the level of cortisol, the stress hormone is constantly
reduced and you will be in total control of your life.
3.Deep
breathing slows down the heart rate, dilates blood vessels and blood pressure
drops down to normal.
4.Brain
releases important neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin responsible for
love, bonding and compassion thereby strengthening the immune system.
5.Activates
the heart chakra (Anahata) facilitating the free flow of energy and resulting
in a relaxed heart, mind, body and soul.
So, from
today let us change for good, let us start practicing the “Healing Heart
Meditation”. A very simple but powerful technique, it can be practiced by
everyone to see & feel the transformation.
