MEDITATE THE HEARTFULNESS WAY
Heartfulness is a simple, modern and practical way to experience
meditation. Rather than focusing in on your breath or repeating
a mantra, all you have to do is focus inward, on your heart, to
cultivate inner strength and serenity. The heartfulness relaxation
and meditation techniques are designed to nurture individual
well-being and expand consciousness. This practice involves being
seated comfortably for 15 to 20 minutes in silence with closed eyes,
and tuning inward with the help of the guided suggestions of the
facilitator, and the videotaped Masterclasses lead by the teacher and
president of the Heartfulness Institute, Kamlesh D. Patel. The fee for
