Hridaya Meditation - 60 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 long period of silence for a quiet 60-minute meditation.
