In this special episode of The Real Enneagram, we are stepping away from our standard conversations to offer a deeply restorative guided meditation. Originating from the teachings of the Heartfulness Ashram in Hyderabad, India, this practice focuses on entering the spirit through the mind, body, and especially the heart.

Find a comfortable space and allow yourself to be guided through a full-body scan, drawing grounding energy from the earth all the way up to a centered, resting place within your own heart.

In this meditation, you will be guided to:

  • Set aside the anxieties and cares of the workaday world.
  • Scan your physical body for tension and gently release it.
  • Draw in restorative, grounding energy from Mother Earth.
  • Achieve a peaceful resonance and coherence between your breathing and your heartbeat.
  • Settle into a 20-minute quiet meditation from a relaxed, connected condition.
