A half-hour meditation on moving from fear to inspiration. 

John Happel gives a meditation that tunes us to the basic steps of Heart Rhythm Meditation and using them as a tool to address some of the obstacles we face in achieving success in life.

A powerful meditation on the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire and Air and the element that underlies all things, Ether. In this 25 minute meditation Susanna Bair gives an excellent example of some of the most basic and useful tools in Heart Rhythm Meditation.

Puran Bair guides a meditation on the fire element and feeling the call of your purpose.

Susanna talks about how an individual can rise with purpose and how purpose relates to the whole.

Meditation with Susanna Bair - The Qualities of Earth Susanna Bair gives a 10 minute meditation the will help you embody and experience the qualities of earth.

Susanna Bair leads a shorter meditation for those who have never meditated on their heart, which culminates in an experience of the heart.

How can we dicern the true murmurings of our heart's guidance as opposed to acting from a place of fear, wounding or of protecting ourselves? A question from the community inspires a meditation on the question.

Susanna Bair leads a meditation on the Divine Feminine using the Four Element Breaths in ascending order. In the Earth Element we experience Healing Energy, Creativity with the Water Element, Courage with Fire, and Clarity through the Air Breath.  Susanna helps us to connect with our unique feminine purpose and power through this 30 minute practice.

Meditation is more IN than ever, and rightfully so.  Relaxation and restoration, in a sense, have become quite "counter-culture."  But Heart Rhythm Meditation is not only restorative and soothing, but also strengthening and empowering.  It's for this reason among the many forms of meditation out there, we begin process of focusing an entire podcast on this practice. It's common knowledge that meditation (generally speaking) is a power tool for self-development, but why is this and why is learning it such an uphill climb for so many people? What's going on there? What does sitting still have to do with developing yourself? Can't one just go running or get into the zone somehow else? Puran and Susanna Bair, masters of Heart Rhythm Meditation, illuminate these questions and help to set the stage for anyone considering making meditation a tool they can rely on to support their life aspirations. In "shopping around" for a meditation practice, they explain, one should not only consider the short term effects, but also the long-term results.  What can one become?  They explain how integrating a powerful breath with the heart can have the most profound of effects on one's sense of self and mission in life.  Go to our podcast page for the episode notes.

In this guided meditation from Susanna Bair, she helps you to establish the first basic tools for Heart Rhythm Meditation: 1) Posture 2) Conscious Breath 3) Rhythmic Breath.  She'll help you to visualize your breath as a stem and become firmly rooted in your body.  She invites you to search for you heartbeat and bring your heart to the front of your attention. "You want to make your breath your closest friend in life," she says. This meditation recording occurred in July of 2016, as the opening meditation 2016's two-week long residency intensive of the iamU - iamHeart's two year long intensive meditation studies program.     

Seeking the truth, especially in a world saturated by a divisive media, can be tricky.  Seeking the truth about what's going, even with a keen intellect, will only carry one so far.  Puran Bair, chancellor of IAM-University and iamHeart co-founder, speaks aptly about seeking the truth in this speech given as a commencement address to the IAM-U class of 2016: "It 's difficult for us to get a sense of what 's really going on because it 's fed to us through something called a media - which means something in between us and what 's going on, right? A medium. So we ‘re actually reacting to the presentation rather than through reality of the events." The solution he offers lies within the techniques of heart-rhythm meditation and specifically in a practice called "Contemplation", where you learn to connect with the hearts of others in a way that the intellect can't reach.  The hidden potential in others and in ourselves does not need a medium. You experience that person or situation direction.  By opening our heart, connecting to the hearts of others, we reconnect to something much more universal.  Something is revealed that wasn't evident before.
