Heart Based Meditation

Easy, Effortless, and Effective

There are many types of meditation, all with valid benefits and purpose. Practicing Heart-based Meditation is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can positively impact your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. One of the things that sets Heart Based Meditation apart from other modalities is that you actually learn two techniques- an inward and an outward process.  This combination is what enables you to return to peace with ease, while offering countless benefits that are deeply transformational and life-changing, including:

  • Reduction of stress and anxiety
  • Improved mental clarity and memory
  • Better sleep and improved energy
  • Fewer emotional triggers
  • More harmonious relationships

Heart Based Meditation is a technique that works in harmony with the nature of your mind to make meditation easy and effortless. Forget your preconceived notions at the door- you do not have to empty your mind of thoughts or sit perfectly upright and perfectly still for hours at a time in order to meditate effectively! The second technique- called Heart Centering – is a practice that enables you to cultivate some of the most important foundational tenets to living a life of grace and bliss- Acceptance, Alignment, Presence, Joy, Gratitude, Compassion, and Forgiveness.

You do not need any previous meditation experience in order to learn this form of meditation. The training takes three sessions, either spread out over the course of three weeks or done in a weekend retreat setting:

  • Class 1 covers the How of Heart Based Meditation
  • Class 2 will give you a refinement to the practice and cover Experiences in and out of Meditation.
  • Class 3 will give you additional integration and enhancement techniques, while also providing a vision of the possibilities for systemic life change you can expect with continued and consistent meditation.

This training is offered on a donation basis. The suggested donation is $100, however please do not let your finances prevent you from learning this transformative practice- any amount is appreciated.

Regardless of whether you are looking to add another type of meditation to your practice, have struggled with meditation in the past, or have never meditated before, I am here to help you discover a frustration-free practice, as you let go of all the “doing” and “trying” and release the demands of everyday life.

 

Three Ways to Learn – Choose what’s right for you

Individual Instruction

Individual instruction can be included as part of your integrative counseling sessions.

Group Instruction

I offer group instruction online approximately once every quarter; Click here to see when the next training is.

I also love to offer group instruction at libraries, yoga studies, wellness centers, and other businesses that are looking to offer meditation training at their facility. Often I am contacted by Wellness Coordinators looking to provide this benefit to their employees or the residents of their communities. Please email me if you are interested in setting this up for your business.

Intensive Retreats

Intensive retreats take meditation training to a deeper level and help you have greater success with consistency from the very beginning. These group trainings typically take place on a Friday night through Sunday morning and are ideal for a group of friends, colleagues, or businesses looking to have an immersive experience. Please schedule a 15 min call if you are interested in setting this up.

 

 

Deepening Your Practice

Next Steps…

Too often people go to a meditation workshop and then leave thinking they should now be set for life with their meditation practice. This is not the case! Meditation is something that changes over time- our experiences while meditating can be wildly different even on the same day, let alone from month to month! There are also so many ways to develop and deepen your practice, as well as ease any discomfort or disturbances you may experience along the way.

This is why I periodically offer the Deepening Your Practice class. It is geared towards anyone who has fallen off track and needs some reminders of the basics, or is looking to enhance the process and take the power of their meditation to the next level. It is appropriate for anyone who has taken the full  Heart Based Meditation Training, either with myself or Dr. Paul Dugliss or another Heart Based Meditation instructor.

During the session, we will do a quick review of everything you learned during the four class initial training, including, but not limited to:

  • The How of Heart Based Meditation
  • Experiences you may expect in and out of Meditation
  • The Heart Centering Technique

We will then go on to cover:

  • Two different breathing techniques to enhance Meditation
  • A calming visualization to aid in settling prior to Meditation
  • Pointers on how to assure the fastest development and growth towards your full potential

While it is entirely ok to learn meditation and then never revisit that learning, you will find so much more depth to your practice and speed to your growth if you return periodically to ask questions and listen to others talk about their experiences.
