		<description>Dear Brenda,
I celebrate and share your belief in Christ. Heart Rhythm Meditation has its roots in Christianity (and Sufism). See our page on the &lt;a href="http://www.appliedmeditation.org/About_IAM/christianity.shtml rel="nofollow"&gt;history of HRM&lt;/a&gt; for more. Basically, there is no conflict between the belief in Christ and the desire to open your heart. Where is your faith held, if not your heart?
God bless you.

		<description>How does spirituality and Christianity play a role in this practice?  It scares me to dive into this fully because I believe in Jesus Christ and his divine power.</description>

		<description>Dear Sharon,

For as far back as I can remember, I have been able to feel my pulse anywhere I choose to pay attention to it in my body. I have never found this to be any kind of hindrance in my Heart Rhythm work - only a great gift, as Puran put it. In fact, I remember experimenting with my breath and my pulse as a kid and noticing the change in my pulse rate that coordinated with whether I was inhaling or exhaling or holding. Little did I know, then, that I was already 'practicing' for my HRM work which only came several decades later.

At a very young age, I was also sometimes aware of a 'strange sensation' of being 'bigger than myself' in a very physical sort of way although I had no ideal what I was experiencing until it became clear to me through my HRM work that I was sensing my magnetic self. Those sensations had actually diminished over the years and I had sort of forgotten about them, but they and my memories of them quickly came back as I started doing HRM. The sensation I currently usually have of my magnetic body or magnetic field is different from what I experienced as a child but I can still experience it as I did long ago if I choose to do so. Either way, I simply see it as yet another gift given to me to work with and I try to make the most of it.</description>
