Hridaya Meditation - 30 Minutes

This is a Hridaya Yoga Meditation focusing on the 3 aspects of internalization: Centering on the Spiritual Heart (Hridaya), noticing the pauses between the breaths, and asking 'Who Am I?'. Practitioners are guided step-by-step through these deepening layers and led into a portion of silence for a quiet 30-minute meditation.

Reviews

Beautiful practice itself I highly recommended, created by the Hridaya school based largely off the teachings of the great 20th century sage Ramana Maharshi. These are timeless practices to create space for the possibility of coming back into Remembrance of a deeper experience of self to connect directly with Source through the heart portal. Bryant guides a powerful inward journey to facilitate this reconnection, I love this version of the Hridaya practice!
