We experience heaven on earth as we hold love and truth in our consciousness and live it. When we activate this radiant life that dwells within, we will be emanating love endlessly and effortlessly. All will be affected by this practice of sacred heart yoga, thereby creating peace on earth, starting at the individual level.
The ancient practice of Sacred Heart Yoga provides a way to activate the radiant, vibrant substance of joy and love from within. This is done through devotional prayers, mystical tones, and the ancient postures. It trains the mind to focus and concentrate on love for the Almighty, Indwelling God, Goddess, Spirit. As one participates in this form of yoga the mind of love creates a sense of peace and calmness. The mind chatter begins to cease. Concentrating and focusing on loving the God within will liberate the mind and soul, and free the emotions of guilt, fear and anger.
The ego mind is tamed when you develop as a spiritual being. You will begin to surrender the self-centeredness of the ego and also begin to expand in your ability to be the love that you are. Then the manifestation of love fills the mind, emotions and life. When the love of God is at its purest state, you enter the chambers of the Sacred Heart. You receive the fruits of your devotion and are flooded with the majesty of God's Love infused in every cell of your body. You are then in the radiant light substance of all creation.
When God-Realization and alignment is attained, everything is attained. You become consumed with the love of God and negative thoughts and emotions dissolve. You become the living light, attracting all the goodness and peace to you.
Levels of Devotion
Devotion to the Indwelling God is the path to attain all of God's wisdom and knowledge. Man must bring the body and soul into one force to bring the Radiant Spirit through him. - Jesus.
In these moments of devotion, there is absolute, exclusive love for God. There is nothing but God consciousness in you. The Law of Being is realized as you become one with God. The Law of Being includes these experiences. The individuality and personality are dissolved along with any sense of separation. Peace is attained in the world at the level of the peace that dwells within. You are lost in your love of God and are consumed by God's Presence. Worldly consciousness vanishes and you enter Universal Consciousness, the Noble Mind of God. Human becomes God and the mortal becomes immortal.
At this level of devotion whatever belongs to God is given freely to the highest devotee. The devotee dives into her/his love for God and becomes the love of God. She/he becomes the heir to the Kingdom and inherits all of God's gifts.
When you take the God within as master, partner, friend, sweetheart or beloved, the God within becomes the beloved and you become God's beloved. At this point, sacred matrimony is experienced between the human self and the Divine Self. Orgasmic pleasure and liquid nectar flow within as God caresses the cells and brings vibrant life to the body. The devotee becomes intoxicated with love. The soul is thrilled as it reaches ecstatic states of love and joy. A fountain of energy flows through the physical body, clearing the mind, bringing peace to the emotions and love to the soul. The eternal, indivisible, inconceivable essence of bliss is experienced.
As this state of devotion is attained, the cosmic birth of all radiance and vibration melts the heart. The mind is softened and the soul is purified. Through this advanced state of devotion, the devotee continues to praise, worship and love God with a deeper intensity. Fear is transcended and faith is developed through this state of advanced devotion and by this connection to the divine. You will experience that the deeper your connection is, the deeper your faith is. There is a delicious feeling that takes over life. Joy is felt in the mundane moments of life. There is a knowing that God does and will provide. A feeling of safety begins to permeate you as your faith and connection grows fuller and richer. The permanent emotion of well-being is imprinted into the heart, mind and cells.
As one advances in this devotion, the delight of being in prayer manifests. The state of grace is experienced in your life and affairs. There is even a delight in the purification of self. When a disharmony within occurs, there is no resistance to diving into the emotions and allowing the Indwelling Radiance to transform it through prayer. Living in separation and emotional disharmony are no longer tolerated. Each disharmony is faced with delight, knowing that it will bring more joy and bliss as it is transformed. Trust has been developed, that is, trusting the Divine within to transform all discord and disharmony. The devotee becomes strong and is no longer affected by others' behavior.
One becomes an ocean of peace and resides in love. The devotee asks:
Through the devotional practice of Sacred Heart Yoga, the mind of ego, filled with lust, greed, jealousy and fear, is dissolved, and one begins to live in love, joy and abundance.
