Heart
Heart is the eighth book from the Agni Yoga Series which is composed of fourteen books. In them is found a synthesis of ancient Eastern beliefs and modern Western thought and a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific. Unlike previous yogas, Agni Yoga is a path not of physical disciplines, meditation, or asceticism--but of practice in daily life. It is the yoga of fiery energy, of consciousness, of responsible, directed thought. It teaches that the evolution of the planetary consciousness is a pressing necessity and that, through individual striving, it is an attainable aspiration for mankind. It affirms the existence of the Hierarchy of Light and the center of the Heart as the link with the Hierarchy and with the far-off worlds. Though not systematized in an ordinary sense, Agni Yoga is a Teaching that helps the discerning student to discover moral and spiritual guide-posts by which to learn to govern his or her life and thus contribute to the Common Good. For this reason Agni Yoga has been called a "living ethics."

About the author
Agni Yoga Society
67 books17 followersThe Agni Yoga Society was founded in 1920 by Nicholas Roerich and his wife Helena. It is a non-profit educational institution incorporated in 1946 under the laws of the State of New York, and is supported entirely by voluntary contributions and membership dues.
The aims of the Society are embodied in the philosophy that gives it its name—Agni Yoga—as contained in the books of the Agni Yoga Series published by the Society. In them is found a synthesis of ancient Eastern beliefs and modern Western thought and a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific. Unlike previous yogas, Agni Yoga is a path not of physical disciplines, meditation, or asceticism—but of practice in daily life. It is the yoga of fiery energy, of consciousness, of responsible, directed thought. It teaches that the evolution of the planetary consciousness is a pressing necessity and that, through individual striving, it is an attainable aspiration for mankind. It affirms the existence of the Hierarchy of Light and the center of the Heart as the link with the Hierarchy and with the far-off worlds. Though not systematized in an ordinary sense, Agni Yoga is a Teaching that helps the discerning student to discover moral and spiritual guide-posts by which to learn to govern his or her life and thus contribute to the Common Good. For this reason Agni Yoga has been called a "living ethic."
Speaking about the individual's role in human spiritual evolution, Helena Roerich wrote, "The greatest benefit that we can contribute consists in the broadening of consciousness, and the improvement and enrichment of our thinking, which, together with the purification of the heart, strengthens our emanations. And thus, raising our vibrations, we restore the health of all that surrounds us."
Although it does not offer organized studies or courses, the Society welcomes correspondence with friends and students of Agni Yoga and those interested in finding out more about it. The Society publishes the books of the Agni Yoga Series, re-editing and issuing new editions as necessary.

Beautiful and strange. To be read with the heart not with the mind. Part esotericism, part poetry. A challenge to complacency.

Heart is a continuation of the Agni Yoga series and focuses on the heart as a means of spiritual development and accessing subtle worlds.
As with the preceding Agni Yoga books, Heart provides a very powerful framework and experiences as a means of expanding consciousness. The information provided is very practical, and I found the energetics of this book to be very powerful. In fact, Heart took me nearly two years to read - not because I wasn’t interested, quite the contrary, but it took me that long to step through this text while integrating the associated energetics and experiences. The Teachings presented in Heart were simply too powerful and magnetic to read in large doses.
As with the other books within the Agni Yoga series, this book is not for the faint of heart :) Reading Heart will expand your consciousness, open and move around energy within your being, and potentially bring about significant experiences within your daily life. For this reason, I advise proceeding in a consistent, paced manner as you’re literally playing with fire.
Because Heart is the eighth book within the Agni Yoga series and each book builds upon the other, to get the most from the experience it’s recommended that you read the preceding books if you haven’t done so already.
Heart, and Agni Yoga in general, is perfect for the individual seeking an enjoyable read coupled with potentially interesting experiences to bring about advanced and accelerated spiritual development.
