Preparation for the Open Heart Meditation

You can do the meditation right now if you would like.

Before you do, though, for the best result, please take a few moments to prepare ...

Make sure that you are in a quiet room, where you will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes


You may like to dim the lights or burn some incense or aroma therapy, and maybe play some gentle instrumental music


You can be seated either on a chair with your feet placed evenly on the ground (not crossed), or cross legged on the floor - the most important is that you are relaxed and comfortable, and not forcing your position. Your head and spine should be upright, naturally curving, not bolt upright.


While you are being relaxed, please be aware that relaxation is 'active' and not the same as being asleep! So please don't slump in your seat.


Take a few moments to relax your whole physical body, calm your mind, and to be completely here and now. Let go any thoughts about the past or the future - for the next 20 minutes at least ;)

... and now just follow Irman's guiding and enjoy!
