The Heartfulness Way

Meer over het boek

Heartfulness is a spiritual approach that promotes living from the heart, embracing all ideologies and beliefs. In this heart-centered narrative, a student engages with his teacher, Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji), the current guide of the Heartfulness tradition, to explore a unique meditation method that offers immediate spiritual experiences, regardless of one's faith. In our fast-paced world, we often feel overwhelmed by societal pressures to be more, do more, and accumulate wealth. Many navigate daily responsibilities while their minds are cluttered with these demands. However, there is an alternative: embracing a heartful way of living. Daaji combines various practices for modern seekers, drawing from the Sahaj Marg teachings and elements of Sufism, to present a contemporary interpretation of Raja Yoga, an ancient Indian practice that helps individuals realize their divine selves. Unlike many texts that discuss enlightenment, this work provides a practical path to experiencing it, emphasizing that experience is superior to mere knowledge. Heartfulness meditation includes relaxation, meditation, rejuvenation, and connection, highlighting yogic transmission (pranahuti) for spiritual growth. Through the methods and insights offered, readers can achieve deeper connections to values such as acceptance, humility, compassion, empathy, and love.
