βWe tend to think of the mind as being in the body, but weβve actually got it wrong; the body is in the mind. Everything we know about the body, now and at any previous time, has been known through the agency of the mind. This isnβt to say there isnβt a physical world, just that the experience of the body, and the experience of the world, happen here, within our mind. When we truly wake up to that here-ness, the worldβs externality, its separateness, ceases. When we realise that we hold the whole world within us, its thing-ness, its other-ness, is checked, and we are better able to recognise its true nature.β

"This book is an introduction to the ancient Gnostic science of Heart Meditation through the use of mystical rhythms. Over the last decades scientific research has established the benefits of meditation for our minds and bodily health. However, most of the research has been focused on the effect of meditation on the mind as traditional meditation techniques concentrate primarily on the mind and its relation to the body.
However, Gnostics for thousands of years have focused their meditation techniques on the heart because they recognise the importance of the heart as a gateway for spiritual enlightenment; as well as the role it has in creating inner balance in our minds and improving our physical health. This booklet is an introductory guide to this technique which should be practiced under the guidance of an experienced instructor."
