ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE🔗

This meditation is one of the ways to open your heart center. The heart is the portal through which you can enter reality. This meditation is especially useful if you are a head-oriented person, if you are more based in the intellect than in the emotions.

Actually, almost all of us are head-oriented. Heart-oriented people can't survive very long in today's world. So we have all made our minds strong. Our heart center is weak, because we don't give it enough exercise. We don't operate from the heart, we don't act from the heart.

Try looking at the world from your heart, and you will discover a unity in the world. The mind sets up barriers, the heart dissolves barriers. Activating the heart center naturally creates a gushing of love in your life.

INSTRUCTIONS

Simple, though strange!

The only thing you have to do is: imagine yourself as headless!

It is not funny; this is a tough technique.

Walk, sit down, feel as if you are headless.

Feel that your head has disappeared.

All your focus is now on your heart.

In the beginning it will be just a pretence; you will feel weird and disoriented.

What happens to all my sense-organs? How will I see, hear, speak?, you will ask.

Your sense-organs have not disappeared – they have simply slipped into your heart region!

Just like how blind men use their hands to 'see', you will be using your heart. You will be seeing with your heart, from your heart.

Try it. You can do it.

Stand before a mirror and look deeply into your eyes. Feel as if you are looking from your heart.

Allow every act to be controlled by the heart. Feel the love in your actions.

By and by, you will feel the heart center flowering, actually flowering. You will feel a blossoming inside.

And then you will feel the onrush of love.

You will find your every act becoming more loving. That is why, when someone is in love, we say – he has lost his head! When you are flowing with love, when your heart center is overflowing, you actually lose your head. Your actions are no longer controlled by the head.

There is no specific duration for this meditation. Just do it whenever you feel compelled to. And you will keep feeling compelled. As you keep practising this meditation, you will find yourself growing more and more loving. Your relationships will improve dramatically. You start perceiving the harmony in the world. You move a step closer to God.
