"Back in Austria, thinking of this week at the Abode and feeling your
presence during my meditations, is just like a stream of a splendid waterfall
of love and joy. Just great!" -- Anna Pirch |
|
"I feel changed and renewed, and I notice a new, refined,
gentle and positive way about my relationships." -- Robin Carpenter |
|
"To be able to witness you coming into your greatness, to
see the change in your bodies, the sparkle in your eyes, to see and feel the
opening of my heart and yours was wondrous. I didn't want to leave that
place of open-heartedness, fullness, greatness, peace. Since the retreat I've
been awestruck by the power of an open heart. I've gone places that I didn't
know existed. There's just no going back. It's not an option; It's too
late." -- Reggie Edmonds |
|
"In two of the meditations, I felt I reached places
that I'd never accessed. Now when I meditate, I seem to encounter and
be immersed in a new sense of Presence that I didn't experience before. (Just
writing that causes heat to rush through me.) The retreat opened up a whole
new awareness for me of aspects of my personality and being, and I am deeply
contemplating that, looking for how everyone is my mirror. I love it when
this happens! I am incredibly grateful to Puran and Susanna and all of you
for our time together." -- Jeanie Underwood |

Advanced Methods to Energize Your Heart
Using Heart Rhythm Meditation
The Tenth-Annual Summer Retreat into the Heart
Led by Puran and Susanna Bair, August 8-13, 2008,
at "The Abode" retreat center in New Lebanon, NY
Our new book and CD,
Energize Your Heart in Four Dimensions,
launched a comprehensive
model of the energetic heart and a method for taking your next
step, guided by your heart. This retreat will go much farther into
the art and science of heart energy. Using advanced methods of
vocalized sound and directed breath, and with new discoveries from
Heart Rate Variability and other instrumentation, we will help you
heal your heart, restore your optimism and discover your heart's
wish.
To spend five days in the experience of Heart Rhythm Practice is sheer joy
to the soul, heart, mind and body. Go deep into the practice without
the ordinary, daily stimuli. As you continue to do the practice day after
day, you will be recreating and rejuvenating yourself.
What is an Energized Heart?
In this time of uncertainty,
there is one source of confidence and absolute trust: your heart.
As politicians debate strategies for global challenges
and exploit our fear, our real source of power is in our hearts.
To combat depression or anxiety,
only the heart can restore the natural optimism we need to face life.
You have a unique purpose in your life which your mind can't imagine,
but which is known by your heart.
Through your heart you are connected to every being,
able to read and move every heart.
Where can the religions, cultures and peoples of the world unite?
Only in the heart.
What is Heart Rhythm Meditation all about?
There is a transition occurring throughout the world,
a movement from the mind to the heart.
Beyond the difficulties of this transition time lies a promise
of global love, harmony and beauty.
Heart Rhythm
Meditation has proved to be the most effective technique for increasing
Heart Rate Variability, a measure of the heart's influence and power.
With HRM you can access the guidance and courage
of your heart, to prepare you for the role you are destined
to perform in representing the heart of humanity.
There is no other method like it.
You will learn to actually feel your heartbeat and radiate light
and energy from your chest.
You will overpower heart arrhythmia, improve circulation
and reduce disease risk.
With HRM, you will radiate measurable waves of peace, joy and love.
What is the Institute for Applied Meditation (IAM)?
IAM is a spiritual school that offers a complete curriculum
in the philosophy and practice of the heart.
IAM developed and teaches Heart Rhythm Meditation and
applies it to your health, relationships and accomplishments.
IAM continues an authentic tradition that dates back to the
Apostles.
We have incorporated scientific instrumentation for biofeedback
to prove the physical effectiveness of the practice.
An important aspect of IAM is that it is led by a man-woman team.
Susanna and Puran had a long training in meditation with the same
teacher and came to the realization together that the heart had to be
the complete focus of spiritual work and that Heart Rhythm Meditation was all that was
necessary to achieve illumination.
In the last 20 years, IAM has grown to include many talented and
experienced instructors, teachers and mentors throughout the
US, the UK and Europe.

Puran and Susanna Bair are heart-centered leaders promoting that spirituality
that resides in every heart. They co-founded the Institute for Applied
Meditation twenty years ago, and have taught their method of energizing the
heart to individuals, couples, families and organizations for more than 25
years. They have authored two books,
Living from the Heart
and
Energize Your Heart, upon which they base the retreat.
Also presenting at the retreat will be several certified IAM
teachers with specialties in education, physics, construction, therapy, and
corporate training.
The retreat also includes walking meditations in nature, beginning
instruction in Heart Rhythm Meditation, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, sacred
dances, whirling, and walking on fire. Join us in August!

"I am profoundly grateful to every one of you that I met
at the Summer Retreat. I came into that setting a total
stranger, scared, shook up, lost, undone, and left with a different,
optimistic, energy pattern plus specific tools to use at home. I look
forward with great anticipation to furthering my acquaintance with the IAM
work and its community members." -- Jessica Twibell |
The grounds are of the original Shaker village, offering a supportive natural,
peaceful environment where you can take walks through fields and woods,
refresh in the pond, and meet with like-minded and like-hearted
people. Wonderful gourmet food is organic fresh from their farm.
The area is known to have been sacred to the Native Americans, and
you'll feel the presence of
our honored ancestors mixing with the extraordinary fellow-travelers
who take this path of the heart.

Research at the Retreat
Will be conducted by David
Joffe, Chief Technology Officer of Lexicor, an experienced entrepreneur and
commercial engineer/ inventor. He was the co-inventor of the Pulse Oximeter,
a device recognized as one of the ten most valuable medical devices of the
20th Century. Mr. Joffe's work also lowered the cost of functional brain
mapping systems. His company was instrumental in launching the modern era
of Neurofeedback and Neurotherapy. |
