\u201cHridaya Yoga Meditation begins with the attempt to sit in quiet stillness, which paradoxically informs us of the incessant activity of the mind. This journey of meditation moves us from the mind, to the body, to the heart, and then to Consciousness. Through this process, everything which is unknown about oneself gradually becomes known, and finally leads to the experience of Self-Realization and Self-Mastery. The Self that we Realize as our own is, in Reality, the Self of All Life. The power of our realization sends waves of Love through our own being, to our family, to our community, and out into the world.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In both seated meditation and moving meditation (conscious action), Hridaya Yoga calls practitioners to align themselves with the qualities of the Heart as they blossom\u2014Respect, Equality, Love, Compassion, Humility and Selfless Service to all. As one falls into the depth of this Heart meditation, these qualities naturally emerge, transforming the practitioner from within.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Teachings of Hridaya Yoga invite us to abide in the mystical state of Oneness while simultaneously living a practical life in the world. All aspects of life are acknowledged and included as we take care of our physical health, mental health and spiritual well-being in a balanced way. Rather than avoiding the suffering of others merely to seek our own peace, we choose to embrace the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yogini Mangala Anshumati<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Yogini Mangala Anshumati is a mystic who inspires people to follow the natural way of Enlightenment. Guided by the Heart itself, this essentially methodless path of meditation reveals the connection of body, emotion, mind and Spiritual Consciousness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mangala Anshumati intuitively began meditating as a young girl, passionately committing her life to yoga, meditation, self-awareness and service. By the age of 15, she took the vows of a Yogini and began to study with Enlightened Masters. She remained devoted to her practice while raising three children and attaining degrees in Holistic Medicine and Psychology.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 1986, during a year-long, solitary meditation, she experienced a powerful awakening to the \u2018Unity of Life and Consciousness\u2019 which she refers to as the \u2018Samadhi of the Heart.\u2019 After this expansive realization, and with the blessings of her spiritual preceptor, she began to offer her distinctive teaching, Hridaya Yoga or Yoga of the Heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As an educated woman, a mother, a healer and a westerner, she brings a unique perspective to the role traditionally filled by the eastern, male Guru. Her spontaneous talks address every facet of life\u2014from the practical to the mystical\u2014and explore topics often neglected by many disciplines. Her messages are authentically human, delightfully humorous and unequivocally direct, yet always full of compassion. She encourages everyone to live with Spiritual freedom, to transform relationships with love and to offer their positive gifts to the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her non-profit organization, AHIMSA (Artisitic Harmlessness in Mind Speech and Action), freely promotes non-violence, harmlessness, ecology and peace in individuals, groups and the world by weaving meditation and awareness into the arts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mangala Anshumati continues to offer public talks, transformative retreats and in-depth classes for spiritual aspirants. The students of Hridaya Yoga are currently publishing her complete teachings from thousands of written and recorded talks.[\/vc_column_text]
