Transcript

The word Hriday in Sanskrit means heart.

Hriday Akash Dharana is concentration on the heart space.

This is a very transformative meditation,

Allowing the past to be re-integrated.

You want to make sure that the intensity of the feeling does not alter your mental perception.

But it is important to remember,

When you feel the emotion,

Do not try to control it.

Observe it objectively.

You are in meditation.

You are in the witnessing consciousness.

Do not worry.

As you observe the emotion,

Nothing will happen.

And then there's a time when we feel the emotion and then turn it to a sensation.

The sensation is a response in the body,

In the cellular structure of the body.

This is where the transformation happens,

Is feeling it without any resistance or without any objection.

No resistance,

No desire.

We're going to experience the creation of an emotion,

Colors of an emotion,

Sensations of an emotion.

And then we're going to learn how to change the emotion according to our will.

Do the effort to focus all your energies,

Feelings and thoughts during the practice for the transformation to take place.

Hriday Akash Dharana deals with memories and emotions and the reaction that one feels by recalling all of these.

Day-to-day emotions are not that intense.

In this technique,

You are holding the space for a specific memory or emotion to be generated in order to remove the blockages which exist on the subtle and mental planes.

It has a psychotherapy effect.

Practice is not for the therapeutic results.

We are more concerned with how to transcend and go beyond the limited mind with its accumulated idiosyncrasies and complexities.

Therefore,

We're working from a different point of view of liberation and expansion.

In this meditation,

The state of mind that needs to be utilized is objective and dispassionate,

So not involved.

Viragya,

Dispassion or non-attachment.

Cultivating a soft,

Warm space of observation so that we do not get caught up in the whirlpool.

And even after the meditation,

When things arise,

You might not remember the actual meditation,

And you might drift out of the meditation without hearing my voice.

So,

When later on,

Something arises and memories come up,

Remember,

It is because of the meditation.

And then again,

Objectively,

Dispassionately,

Observe and let it through.

Don't have to ponder on it.

Don't have to work through it.

Just move it through.

Acknowledge,

Recognize and let go.

Because the purpose here is an effort to isolate the self-participation from the actual event that is being witnessed.

And resolve,

Release,

Let go.
