What does a daily practice of Heartfulness Meditation achieve? How is this form of meditation different from contemplation?
Heartfulness Meditation provides a scientific approach to spirituality. There is a great underlying philosophy in meditating on the heart.
First, it is the pumping station of our blood, purifying all parts of the body, including the smallest cells. When we take the heart as the center of meditation, the blood that runs through us is affected so that the solidity in our thoughts and actions begins to melt away.
The heart is also the center of our being and the field of action for the mind to work. It is the instrument by which we develop discrimination.
When we take the heart as the center for meditation, we are able to set the mind on the right path, by gradually changing its habits. Whatever you experience in meditation, first you prove it in your heart. Your heart is your laboratory.
