FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS HEART RHYTHM MEDITATION?

HRM is comprised of gentle practices that engage and integrate the body, mind and spirit. In Heart Rhythm Meditation we concentrate our attention on our hearts, synchronizing breath and heartbeat, while focusing our minds on specific loving intentions.  By bringing the rhythm of our breath and heartbeat into balance we achieve a state of calm, alert, inner awareness that is full of potential. We also develop an awareness of the subtle energy that rides on the breath, learning to harness and apply this energy to help bring about lasting changes to our health, relationships, sense of self, and accomplishments. The heart's electromagnetic field is one hundred times more powerful than that of the brain. Through the practice of Heart Rhythm Meditation we learn to work with the innate intelligence of our hearts,  and develop a greater influence on our environment than our environment has on us.

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER MEDITATED BEFORE? IS HRM EASY TO LEARN?

CAN I COME ON A DROP IN BASIS RATHER THAN SIGN UP FOR THE FULL FIVE WEEK SERIES?
