Open Heart Meditation: Calm the Mind, Nourish the Heart

The meditations I lead are all about helping people have a direct experience in their mind and body. Through experiencing our own inner goodness, we can start to become clear about our true identity and purpose, as well as heal the psychological trauma and negative beliefs and attitudes that cause us so many problems in life.

Deep down what all people want is to be happy. But life is full of pain, and we are weighed down by all the emotional and psychological baggage we have picked up over time. This baggage keeps us living life as some distorted version of ourself, making us feel small, stressed, and with a sense of lack that won't go away.

Through guided meditation and mantra practice, in a short amount of time you can experience a glimpse of your own awakened nature, which is naturally radiant, calm, loving, and perfectly at ease.

Beneath the rigid walls of our ego lies our natural capacity to heal our weary hardened heart, see beauty and wonder in the world again, and to live in natural ease beyond our habitual fears.

Gradually, with regular practice, we begin to taste life without all this heaviness that pulls us down, as the layers of tension, confusion and attachment are dissolved in the light of our own loving awareness, and we begin to realise a sense of inner freedom.

This is possible even for you, because underneath it all you have pure awakened nature. There are examples of both men and women in our Sangha (spiritual community of Open Heart) who are married with children, and jobs to go to, who have had awakening experiences of both mind and heart, and come to know who they truly are — a lasting experience of total freedom and intimacy with the world.

I'm an Acharya (instructor) for Open Heart, a contemporary yogic lineage founded by Amrita Baba, that combines teachings from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, as well as Western psychotherapy and movement modalities, with a focus on techniques that work.

These healing meditations are good for people whatever your level of experience.

For those interested in taking this practice further, I offer teachings in the Buddhist and Hindu tantric paths of my lineage, as well as a practice that leads directly to non-dual awakening, and trauma healing practices.

If you have any questions, or want to know more but are unable to attend classes, feel free to direct message me.

May you be healed, healthy, happy, and free.
