    • Heartfulness offers four core practices: Relaxation, Meditation, Cleaning, & Inner Connect

    Relaxation

    • First Heartfulness practice, based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
    • Aims to relax the body from toes to head, focusing on healing energy from Earth & cosmos.
    • Emphasizes complete relaxation, dissolving self, and ultimately focusing on the heart center.
    • Can be practiced individually or guided by a trainer, using audio.

    The Three Bodies

    • All life forms have a physical, subtle, and causal body.
    • The subtle body — heart-mind field — evolves during self-development.
    • Spiritual evolution involves purifying the subtle body.
    • Differences in subtle body connection manifest through the three gunas, impacting consciousness levels (tamasic, rajasic, and sattvik).

    Meditation

    • Second Heartfulness practice, not about continuous thinking, but about shifting to feeling.
    • Meditation is about understanding the truth behind the object of meditation.

    Meditation and Neuroscience

    • Research shows benefits of meditation on brain health and well-being (reducing stress, improving sleep, etc.).
    • Meditation impacts specific brainwave frequencies (Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta).
    • Meditation expands consciousness through different brainwave states, particularly in the Turiya (deep meditative) and Turiyatit (transcendent).
    • The process involves moving outward, inward, to a deep sleep like state, then to a soundless experience, and finally to Turiyatit, which exists outside this whole spectrum.
