Meditation
on Twin hearts is based on the principle that some of the major
energy centers or chakras are entry points or gateways to
certain levels or horizons of consciousness.
The Twin Hearts
pertain to the heart and crown energy centers.
The heart chakra is an energy center in
front of a person's chest. It is the energy counterpart to the
physical heart. The
heart chakra is the center for compassion, joy,
affection, consideration, mercy, and other higher refined emotions. The
Crown energy center (also called the spiritual heart) located on
the top of the head is the entry point to higher spiritual
consciousness. To
achieve illumination or cosmic consciousness, it is necessary to
sufficiently activate the crown chakra.
This can be done only when the heart chakra is
sufficiently activated. Only
by developing the higher refined emotions can one possibly
experience divine love. When the crown center is highly developed, one experiences
Divine Love and Oneness with All.
Blessing
the earth with loving-kindness, peace and goodwill following the
Meditation on Twin Hearts can be done by a group as a form of
world service. The
effectiveness of the blessings is magnified many times more when
done as a group rather than as an individual.

When
a person practices Meditation on Twin Hearts, divine energy flows
down to the practitioner; filling him with Divine Light, Love
and Power. The practitioner becomes a channel of this Divine
energy.
Spiritual aspirants who have practiced this meditation for quite
sometime may experience being enveloped by dazzling, sometimes
blinding light. In addition, practitioners may experience divine
ecstasy and bliss, and a feeling of oneness with all creation.
This has been a common experience among advanced yogis and
saints of all religions, and can be verified through their holy
scriptures.
This
blinding, brilliant, and dazzling light is known as Heaven Ki in
Taoist yoga, or the Pillar of Light in ancient Jewish Kaballah
traditions. To the Indian yogis and saints, they call this
pillar of light, the Antakharana, or spiritual bridge of
light.
The Christians refer to it as the Descent of the Holy Spirit,
symbolized by a pillar of light with a descending white dove.
The white dove represents the coming down of divine energy. The
descent of the divine energy causes the temporary expansion of
the practitioner's major chakras and inner aura. When meditation
is practiced on a regular basis, the expansion may become permanent.
The
heart chakra is a replica, or twin of the crown
chakra.
When you look at the heart chakra, it has twelve petals,
similar to the twelve petals which form the inner core of the crown chakra. The
crown chakra, on the other hand,
is the center of illumination, or divine love, or oneness with
all. It is situated on top of a person's head, providing energy
for the brain and the glands therein. When the Crown chakra
is sufficiently activated, its inner core of twelve petals
unfurl, open and turn upward like a golden cup, golden crown,
golden lotus, or golden flower, to receive spiritual energy
which is distributed to other parts of the body.
