"These last few days I have been very aware of my heart and how it is feeling inside my body. I have been having conversations with it, seeing what it needs and wants. I'm noticing where I feel its pulses and if it is heavy or light. I've become close to it in this way... By focusing in on just my heart, my body is feeling good. I feel like I am caring for my heart in a way that is new .. and yes, it feels good." -- JC

"This morning after my meditation at 5 AM I returned to bed and about an hour or so later had a very wonderful experience. There are actually no words that I can say to adequately describe this experience. It was a feeling of expansion that began with my heart and filled my torso and even beyond. It was a very strong, rich feeling of love, bliss, and peace. It was a living Presence. As I said, these words do not really convey the actual experience, but I am eternally grateful for it.
It really helped me feel loved, encouraged, peaceful, guided, protected. It was a tremendous blessing! I awoke to the experience of my heart beating very strongly and joyfully in my chest. I stayed in bed longer than usual and continued to feel this feeling for awhile.
I know that this course and the energy and prayers of our group are helping me open my heart. I am becoming increasingly more aware of areas in my life that need to be transformed to achieve the balance I desire. This practice is providing me with the opportunity to create a life which is truly meaningful by living from my heart.
I want to thank each one of you, and especially you, Puran, for your dedication, love, support and Presence. I feel truly blessed to be a part of this process." -- Susan Wilkins

"This practice has in many ways been a life saver for me. In my times of strife and maritial discord it is an anchor that supports and sustains me. My practice is not perfect, yet I feel that I have made enormous progress in my attention towards my heart and my inner self." - PK

One thing that I can say is that I am still doing my diet (I have lost more than 20 pounds in less than 2 months) but I am doing it with more love toward myself. I do not 'beat' myself to follow the regime, I do it because I love myself. I love more being in that body because there is a 'jewel' inside that I was not aware of (the heart). -- jj

"In the last few days, perhaps because of continual focus on the heart and the technique of alternate nostril breathing, I occasionally have observed myself becoming drawn to phenomena, e.g., this morning while painting a watercolor, I was almost stunned by certain colors and patterns that I had never seen before." -- Edwin F. Casebeer

It has been a real challenge for me this square breath meditation. I struggled all week. I found all reasons not to do my meditations. I did meditate but I did not enjoy it except today Sunday. I feel that I got it. No more chaotic breathing out. I did the square breath without problem today. This was a victory for me. I was calmer and calmer and I would have meditated all evening. So I am grateful today. -- JJ

Today I experienced noticeable increase in energy, a feeling of pressure in the heart center and a great deal of light across my forehead . I felt very lifted up. This practice is truely wonderful.
I appreciate your comment and The sharing of all of the groups experience. Thank you for your comments on Thur. They are helpful. I am excited about the unfolding I am experiencing. -- Tina Antonell

These last two mornings I asked the same question and this morning I've got the great joy of receiving an answer, even if it didn't seem to be one immediately. It was completely different from what I was expecting but little by little during the whole day I've become sure of its meaning. It's giving me a sense of great solidity. -- DG

I am seeing the value of practicing the square breath over and over, and how it constantly reinforces the awareness of one's heartbeat. I spent some time reading the book yesterday which I think is further reinforcing what I am learning and is penetrating my subconscious. I was able to stay centered in my heart yesterday in an ongoing situation that previously has been anxiety producing for me. What a difference! I felt more at peace yesterday because of it, which has really been my goal for studying HRM and taking this course in the first place. -- Cedron Sterling

Then Monday morning, today, I significantly increased my discipline in getting out of bed and doing my practices. I got an image of myself getting off the saddle again, but this time I was intent on going to my beloved [my metaphore for meditation]. I am much more positive for a Mon. morning than usual.... maybe because I had more discipline, or maybe because I am intent on my beloved. --BP

Yesterday was my first day of meditating according to your instructions. I was in a darkened room about 5:30 AM with no sounds other than the clock ticking, the whir of the computer and the sound of rain drops in the down spout. I decided to incorporate these sounds into my meditation and began to bring my attention to them. In a very short while the sounds seemed to be in me - they were setting the limits of my body. A very pleasant sensation filled me. -- JW
