When sitting for meditation, align your head with your heart.
For me this meant pulling my head back slightly and relaxing my shoulders and neck so that my head floated above my heart in line with it, not ahead of it. Somehow this put the heart and mind in congruence or yoked together as one–yoga.
When I did this, I noticed my mind was quieter, more peaceful and secure feeling like it was being held by and in the heart.
When my head in meditation is tilted ahead of the heart or in front of it , the head and heart are not aligned and incongruent. My head is ahead or leading me, not my heart.
When I experimented with doing this, I noticed my mind feeling antsy, unsettled, and a bit anxious.
Experiment with this in your meditation practice and discover if you feel the balance in unity when head and heart are aligned.
So often in life it seems our head gets ahead of or out of sync with our heart. Possibly, this slight adjustment in our meditation practice and posture could make all the difference in the world.
