Hridaya is the Sanskrit word for 'Spiritual Heart' drawing from 'hrid' (centre) and 'ayam' (this). It is said to be different from the physical heart that regulates blood circulation and gives the body life. Rather Hridaya is the place where ego and all thoughts dissipate, the seat of Pure Consciousness, our true source and essential nature. Through stillness and self-observation, connecting with Hridaya provides us guidance and understanding and reveals who we really are.
"When we steady our breath we feel the
steadying of our thoughts. Then the thoughts
turn inward and melt away at a point.
Watching this point, where the thoughts
vanish, will also help us to merge
ourselves in the Hridaya."
