Heart

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

In my previous life

I created a system of

techniques and meditations

that though harmless would

clearly be seen as contrived

and bogus.

The Ways and techniques are

too subtle for such grossness.

So I thought :-)

To my amazement and shame for them

people reported useful effects.

Much as tap water becomes

the placebo snake oil.

 

However there is a gross

technique that has layers

of subtlety and if practicing

anything this is the one to do:

 

I alluded to it in a previous

email a few weeks back

but was perhaps a little

too esoteric :-)

 

Scientists are beginning to understand

the memory of the Heart (it contains

neurons much like the brain)

The body has memory.

This is why for example scar tissue

heals in proportion to the emotional

nature of the injury.

It explains why mystics forgive so

completely and unforgivingly ;-)

Every mystic system from the

Passion of Christ

the Heart meditations of Kabbalists

and Dervishes.

The Metta practices of Buddhists

and the devotional aspects of

Hinduism and Shamanism

all recognise this process.

 

It is of course

HEART CENTERING

 

The purpose is to develop

a centered sensing

How you do and understand this

will depend on many factors . . .

including the degree of relaxation.

This is not a stiffening but an allowing

- a submission.

Here are two gentle ways that are

complete paths (- the heart becomes the Guide)

 

1. Retain a visual image (a remembrance)

of your Ideal in the Heart. Act and refer

from and to this.

 

2. GENTLY contact the sensation/passion of Love/Metta

in the Heart. Increase in this expansion.
