Episode 1: Why Meditate? Why Heart Rhythm Meditation?

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.
