Our Program
Open Heart for Everyone offers a free, structured series that consists of 5 online or 8 in-person one-hour sessions. As each session builds on the last, participants must complete each before joining the next session.
In each session, participants learn how to use and connect with the Heart more deeply to alleviate stress, anxiety and other negative emotions, and naturally enjoy the beautiful feelings from the Heart.
Our program is universal, non-denominational and effective for anyone who would like to improve their relationship with True Source. This heart-based approach is a fundamentally unique and natural meditation practice.
Small Class Size
Class size is limited to allow for a more intimate and individualized experience.
Specialized Themes
A series may have a unique theme such as dealing with stress or recovering from cancer. Although themes vary, the experiential component is primarily the same in all sessions, providing a unique opportunity for participants to enjoy simple, but uniquely effective exercises led by experienced guides
Experienced Guides
Our instructors are heart practitioners who have done Open Heart Meditation for many years and are trained and qualified to deliver quality materials and personalised guidance for each participant.
Universal
While Open Heart for Everyone is spiritual in nature, it is presented in a universal, non-denominational format. The term True Source is used for the Source of Unconditional Love and the Source of our true self. Participants come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds and are encouraged to use whatever terminology is most comfortable for them.
Reasons Why You Should Join The Program
A Fundamentally Different Meditation Practice
Open Heart Meditation® is a natural practice to cleanse negative emotions from our spiritual heart, relieve anxiety, reduce stress and help us to feel calmer, more peaceful, and joyful in our daily life. This simple and beautiful meditation brings significant benefits by opening our spiritual heart. While this form of meditation is spiritual in nature, it is intentionally non-denominational, connecting our heart to True Source, a universal term for the Source of Unconditional Love, our Creator, or God. Open Heart Meditation® is formulated by Irmansyah Effendi MSc., the founder of Natural Way of Living.
Easy to Learn, Immediate Benefits
Whether you are a beginner to meditation or looking to enjoy the benefits of living a heart-centered life, this may be the perfect practice for you. Open Heart Meditation® does not use specific techniques such as focusing, visualization, following the breath, mantra, or using intention. It is very different from becoming the “detached observer” of our thoughts and emotional patterns typically found in mindfulness.
Instead, Open Heart Meditation® lovingly guides us to relax and allow our spiritual heart to open through our connection with True Source. While simply enjoying the beautiful and positive feelings that arise naturally from our spiritual heart, True Source Love effortlessly dissolves our limiting emotional patterns. This allows us to feel more peaceful, joyful and grateful in our everyday lives.
Results That Take You From Striving to Thriving
Many participants in this series report that even after the first session they experience levels of peace, calm, joy, and gratitude they never experienced before. This includes people who have never meditated or people who have tried a variety of other meditation techniques with limited success. For some, it may take longer, but by the fifth session, nearly all participants report significant benefits.
Why the Heart ?
The Heart we refer to is not the physical, but the spiritual. Everyone has a spiritual Heart, but many of us are not used to connecting with it. We are often so busy with our lives that we never stop and listen to our Heart and let it guide us.
Our spiritual Heart is the center of true happiness, calmness and peacefulness. It is located at the center of our chest and is the key connection to True Source (whom you may refer to as God or our Creator). As True Source Love flows into our Heart, we can feel peace, joy and gratitude naturally and continuously.
