Heart Centered Meditation with Dr. Aneela Cox

Whether you are looking for a different approach to meditation, or wanting to try it for the first time, we hope you can join in Wednesday mornings at 6:30 am as Dr. Aneela Cox leads us in a thirty minute heart centered meditation! Every Wednesday through March 31, 2021, Dr. Cox will be offering free guided heart centered meditations via Zoom. You can register through this link.  

In most spiritual practices, the heart center is the key to diving into deeper states of consciousness. The heart-centered meditation (HCM) is different from most meditation practices (mindfulness based, Zen meditations, etc). It uses four attributes: compassion, innate harmony, healing presence and unconditional love to connect to the heart space. This meditation also uses the Karunesh Heart Chakra Meditation soundtrack to deepen the practice.

The heart-centered meditation was given to Aneela by her teacher, Dr. Ann Marie Chiasson, the fellowship director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. Her teacher states that “We must Windex the heart everyday,” which the HCM allows her to do. Aneela has practiced and taught various styles of meditations over the past decade and she feels called to share the HCM with the Asheville community through IFMA.
