This meditation is designed to help you tap into the amazing power within your own heart, which is a physical organ and also an energetic power center. It’s a “brain” that can regulate your nervous system and the brain in your head.
The team at Solluna ran a study on the HeartAlign™ Meditation with the HeartMath Institute’s research team ii. There was an average increase of 29 percent in coherence levels of participants being able to shift into and sustain a state of coherence. In other words, the participants had reprogrammed their nervous system to a more optimal functional state in just one month.
What does this feel like in real life? More harmony, clarity, peacefulness, energy and overall health.

Steps of The HeartAlign™ Meditation
The steps of practice, along with more detailed explanation, below:
1. Tense your whole body as you inhale and then relax your body with a
double exhale. Repeat three times.
This is based on a method taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. This technique helps to remove the buildup of restless energy, tightness, and tension from your body so you can create more stillness and heart coherence.
2. Shift your awareness to your heart.
Your heart is another brain, containing 40,000 neurons. This step alone
starts to rewire your nervous system.
3. Keep focusing on your heart while taking five to eight slow breaths in and out, imagining you are breathing from your heart.
This will start to change the input signal from your heart to your brain.
4. Self-generate the core heart feeling of appreciation, which means
recalling a person or event to help you tap into this expansive feeling.
This helps to sync up heart and brain communication, increase coherence; regenerate the hormonal, immune, and nervous system; and also facilitate health and well-being.iv v vi vii
5. Sustain your heart focus and appreciation for three to four minutes or more.
Staying in this entrained, regulated state creates more heart coherence
6. Close with a moment of thanking your heart’s wisdom and setting an intention to stay connected to it as you move forward into your day.
