Living in the Heart: How to Enter into the Sacred Space within the Heart

by Drunvalo Melchizedek

Long ago we humans used a form of communication and sensing that did not involve the brain in any way; rather, it came from a sacred place within our hearts. What good would it do to find this place again? This is a book of remembering. You have always had this place within your heart, and it is still there now. It existed before creation, and it will exist even after the last star shines its brilliant light. At night when you enter your dreams, you leave your mind and enter the sacred space of your heart. But do you remember? Or do you only remember the dream? Why am I telling you about this "something" that is fading from our memories? What good would it do to find this place again in a world where the greatest religion is science and the logic of the mind? Don't I know where emotions and feelings are second-class citizens? Yes, I do. But my teachers have asked me to remind you who you really are. You are more than just a human being, much more. For within your heart is a place, a sacred place, where the world can literally be remade through conscious cocreation. If you really want peace of spirit and if you want to return home, I invite you into the beauty of your own heart. With your permission, I will show you what has been shown to me. I will give you the exact instructions to the pathway into your heart where you and God are intimately one. It is your choice. But I must warn Within this experience resides great responsibility. Life knows when a spirit is born to the higher worlds, and life will use you as all the great masters who have ever lived have been used. If you read this book and do the meditation and then expect nothing to change in your life, you may get caught spiritually napping. Once you have entered the light of the great darkness, your life will change -- eventually, you will remember who you really are; eventually your life will become a life of service to humanity. In the last two chapters reside a surprise and a glimpse of great hope. The human lightbody that surrounds the body for about fifty-five to sixty feet in diameter, the Mer-Ka-Ba (which I wrote about in my first two books, The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (Volumes I and II), has a secret inherently connected to this sacred space of the heart. If you are practicing the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation in your life, I believe you will find the information in this book to be paramount to your journey of ascension into the higher worlds of light. If you are only interested in the sacred space of the heart, may these words be a blessing in your life and help you remember your true nature. One last comment. This book is written with the least amount of words possible to convey the meaning and to keep the integrity of the essence of this experience. The images are purposefully simple. It is written from the heart, not the mind.

Reviews

[GinaMaria Opalescent]

This book is a cornerstone of my beliefs. I actually re-read it this year after returning from a 5 day workshop in Sedona with Drunvalo. The need for our world to learn to go from the head to the Heart is very important for our collective evolution. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could. <3

The meditation caught me off guard cuz it made me connect with myself and mother earth really fast and super eazy. This book changed my life!

[Allyria]

Very simply written. Unbelievable information on self empowerment from multiple ancient philosophies and practices sourced from indigenous tribes. Inspiring, enlightening and wonderful. A must read for anyone who is interested in self-improvement, meditation, culture, American Indians, or sacred geometry.

Chúng ta luôn nghe lắng nghe trái tim nhưng thường hiểu sai nó với cảm xúc của mình. Cảm xúc là một phần của lí trí nhưng trái tim là một phần tách biệt, nó có bộ não và trí tuệ của riêng nó mà khối óc không thể bắt kịp. Sách có hướng dẫn một ót về thiền trái tim, nhận thức nhị nguyên tính nam và tính nữ

[Jonathan Bourque]

6 stars. Top tier wisdom.

[Paduraru Victor]

This was worth reading for the outlandish claims this man makes every 2 pages, the matter of fact way of presenting miracles he keeps making. Originally I thought it would a history and research piece into spiritual ideas, not an infomercial. Even so the book has a charm I can't quite shake off.

[Keenan Crone]

This could be considered the sequel to The Flower of Life part 2. It completes the process of meditations which lead the reader to reconnect with their true selves and to become aware of the power of the unknowable essence which is only present in us through the Sacred Space. The beginning of this process is explained in Drunvalo's first two books. Drunvalo also has released additional steps and modifiers since this book to make the process more simple, but it is possible to achieve living in the heart with these first three books, and a lot of practice.

[John Dobbs]

Grateful to have met Drunvalo Melchizidek through his writing. So much was over my head, yet much was within my grasp. I truly believe in the place(s) in the heart he describes and experiences. I haven't fully entered in, but believe that I will. Excellent book for finding hidden truths. Well worth the read.

[Lyneah Marks]

As complex and heady as the Flower of Life Books are, this is not. this is a book written from the heart. Simple and straight to the point, it includes wonderful meditations to help you find the space of creation in your heart. This is a must read for anyone who's had heart problems.

[AK Egida]

I read this book for work and this topic isn't necessarily my thing or how I view life. I think for other people who are interested in the New Age lifestyle, it would be great, but it just wasn't for me.

[Ho-Sheng]

Contains two very important practices: The Unity Breath and entering the sacred space of the heart.

The Unity Breath is more or less something you'd do at the top of any sacred ceremony, or your personal practice. To use Kahuna terminology, it blends your basic, conscious, and higher self together so that you can move as one, rather than from your little self.

[Kash]

كتاب رهيب وخفيف من Drunvalo يعلمك فيه كيف توصل للمساحة الصغيرة اللي في قلبك، وفيه تمرين يعلمك.
الكتاب مو بس عن التمرين يمرك في مواضيع ثانية. حبيته زي بقية كتب درانڤلو.
ومبسوط انه قدرت اجرب شعور جديد، اني اكون في قلبي 💜

[Belinda]

Loved this book. The CD is perfect for those of us who like to do a daily meditation connecting with the heart and working with the living Mer-Ka-Ba.

[Oliver]

The path of totality

This is the book! I knew it! Life is pure magic....
Many teachers speak about the nature of reality. I love the way Drunvalo describe it!

[Eris]

Al terminarlo de nuevo me quede pensando en "yo soy la divinidad pasando por una experiencia humana".

[Fidel]

Knowledge everyone should learn

[Olesya]

Multiple stories about the author and how he jsds the energy think receive methods. Same info different cover.

[Bianca Balasel]

I first read this book when I was fifteen, after finding it in my family's library. With the enthusiasm of a teenager discovering something completely new, I didn't stop at simply reading it: I tried the techniques it described.

What I experienced frightened me. They were strange, unfamiliar states for which I had neither the experience nor the language to understand them. It felt as though someone had shown me a door I didn't know existed and encouraged me to step through it — and I did, without knowing what might be on the other side.

So I stopped.

Looking back, I think that was also my first real encounter with the idea that spiritual exploration requires discernment. A technique may be described very simply in a book, but the experience itself can be much harder to understand and integrate when you are alone and very young.

Years later, I returned to Living in the Heart, this time after having explored other practices as well, including ThetaHealing and Reiki. The book was the same, but I was not. And only then did I realize that my encounter with it at fifteen had not been just a strange episode from adolescence. In a way, it had been the beginning of a journey I would continue years later.

Today I approach such practices with much more caution, and I believe that guidance, understanding, and the ability to integrate what you experience are at least as important as the technique itself.

Perhaps that is why this book has remained important to me. Not necessarily because of the answers it offers, but because of the door it opened back then.

It was the beginning of a journey that, at fifteen, I didn't even know I had begun.

[Stargazer]

Loved this poem of his called When We Created The World:
When we created the world
It was lonely being the only One
And so I made two.
And then there was you.
You were so beautiful with your eyes of innocence
but I loved you from afar and yet so very near
and I loved you in ways you could not comprehend.
You didn’t know I was watching through the eyes of
every person you met,
Nor could you hear my voice in the wind.
You thought that the Earth was just dirt and rocks,
You didn’t realize it was my body.
When you slept, we would meet in your heart
And make love with our spirits as One.
We would birth new worlds with such passion.
But when you were awake, you remembered nothing.
You thought it was just another dream.
It was just another day alone.
But in your heart I await you, my love, forever.
For the truth of our love and Oneness will always be.
Our love is the Matrix of All That Is.
Remember, Sweet One,
In your heart I will always await thee
In the place that is small.

[Su Sertdemir]

This book is a wake-up call. It isn’t difficult to read, but it definitely offers many things for me to do and reflect on. I admired Drunvalo’s experiences throughout his entire life, and the book opened another window in my mind, allowing me to see my own experiences from a different perspective. I also came to understand the connection between the Flower of Life series. This book is a complementary piece that completes the experience of the Merkaba and the journey into the sacred space of the heart. I appreciated every word and the very existence of this book. A heartfelt thank you to Drunvalo.

[Joanna Robert]

The illuminated heart is a primiere of how my path shifted from wanting into being.

The meditation and information in the book opens up your heart-space to discover places you never have felt/seen before.

In 2012, I participated in the 4-day seminar to be iniated into the illuminated heart. My Soul guided me strongly towards this wonderful time, but also challenging as I went through a dark night of the Soul which means to go through shadow work, releasing old patterns.
Later that year I joined the World Meditation which Drunvalo organized directly online. We were aligned with the Galactic Central Sun.

[Summer Knaus]

I came here from Drunvalo's The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life to see what other wisdoms he had to offer.

This is a very interesting book. Shines light on corruption in many ways, as well as simply giving riveting testimonies as to the power of meditation and the power of the mind.

If you are an avid seeker of knowledge of the unknown, a meditator, perhaps a conspiracy theorist, this book should be of interest to you. Especially if you liked his The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, as this expounds on some of that information.

[Jorge Campos]

Excelente para conectar con el corazón.

Me gustó mucho este libro. Siempre en ese estilo único de Drunvalo, simplicidad e historias increíbles. Vale la pena tener la meditación en audio también.

[Ericka Casares]

Simplemente divino

Definitivamente conecte con la conciencia de
este libro, sentía que ya lo conocía al punto de identificar en mis meditaciones muchas señales aquí descritas, simplemente maravilloso.

[Sofia Alecseeva]

Definitely a book everyone needs to read, if they're into meditations and spirituality. This books teaches how to connect with your soul through various meditations, which Drunvalo has included in this book. It also comes with a CD which have meditations that were included in the book

[Martha]

Simply amazing! I love the way the book was written. Great information and guidance on how to go into the heart and why is it important for the MERKABAH (aka Light Body...quick note this book doesn't teach about the MERKABAH how to meditation). I also love the meditation CD.
Enjoy <3.

nửa sau có cảm giác hữu ích hơn nửa trước, nếu không có phần đó chắc tui còn chả buồn rate.

[Mark Fiorentino]

Amazing, just amazing.

[Noor Sharba]

It's also that kind of books that you will find the best when you heartily search for.

[Nancy Perla]

Very interesting stories!
