Guided Meditation: Heart–Mind Coherence and the Monad

Guided Meditation: Heart–Mind Coherence and the Monad

Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down.
Let your spine be naturally upright, but not rigid.
Allow your hands to rest easily, and gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable.

Take a slow breath in through your nose…
and release it softly through your mouth.

Again, breathing in…
and breathing out.

Let your breathing settle into a natural rhythm.

Now, gently bring your attention to your heart area, the center of your chest.
You don’t need to imagine anything yet—just notice this space.

As you breathe, imagine each inhale flowing into the heart,
and each exhale flowing out from the heart.

Breathing in through the heart…
breathing out through the heart.

Allow the heart to soften.

Now bring awareness to your mind, the space behind your forehead.
Notice any thoughts without trying to change them.
Let them pass like clouds.

As you inhale, feel awareness rise gently from the heart to the mind.
As you exhale, feel awareness return from the mind back to the heart.

Heart to mind…
mind to heart.

This is the beginning of coherence.

With each breath, imagine a gentle rhythm forming—
the heart and the mind moving together,
not competing, not rushing,
just listening to one another.

If it helps, you can silently repeat:

Heart and mind, in harmony.

Let the rhythm become smooth and steady.

Now, from this state of coherence, bring awareness to the idea of the Monad—
not as something far away,
but as unity itself.

The Monad can be felt as:

• wholeness

• oneness

• the quiet source beneath all experience

You don’t need to picture it clearly.
Simply allow the sense of unity to be present.

Imagine that the coherence between heart and mind creates a clear inner space,
like a still lake.

From this stillness, feel a subtle connection—
as if the same unity that lives at the center of all things
is also present within you.

Not entering you.
Not leaving you.

Simply recognized.

Rest here.

No effort.
No striving.
Just awareness of being whole.

If thoughts arise, gently return to the rhythm:
breathing through the heart,
awareness flowing between heart and mind.

When you feel ready, slowly deepen your breath.
Begin to notice the room around you.

Wiggle your fingers and toes gently.

And when it feels right, open your eyes—
bringing this sense of coherence and quiet unity back with you.

Thank-you for reading.

Remember there are many paths back to God.

Follow your own path,
