How to Enter into the Sacred Space within the Heart (with CD)

another amazing book! an eye opener. It is difficult to "peel the onion" to get to the light but I am sure with practice one day I will get there. I appreaciate Drunvalo's spirit. Another book which should be read by the whole world.

I bought this on the recommendation of a teacher and read it immediately. I felt like I'd walked in on the middle of a movie - I think that the previous books should be read first. I did get a lot out of it though and the Meditation CD was very good and I will continue to use it.

The book is a short and great read. While reading, I wanted to physically experience it for myself. And I did. I just completed the workshop, Awakening the Illuminated Heart, in December 2012, with instructor Phil Laing. I am a happy and much more enlightened person for it!

The book was an easy read. The instructions for the meditation were easy to follow. The sincereity and warmness of the author comes through in the writing. Drunvallo has been a student of aboriginal teachings and passing them on (what he has been permitted) for at least 20 years. Highly recommended.

I found the title of the book misleading. I found this book to have very little to do with living in the heart.
Stories about an anti pollution device and a blind woman who worked for Nasa and could see images through a television screen in her mind, may be interesting to some, but to me they are more related to science.

There are more comprehensive, longer, and more satisfying reads out there if you're interested in spirituality, meditation, and the esoteric. I don't know, I just felt like there was a lot of noodling around and subjective hear-say and whatnot (I think I remember him starting the book by saying he convinced a class to sit outside in the rainy weather and meditate on changing the weather, and lo and behold with some time it changed! ...meh). At the end of the book, he said something that piqued my interest about the different levels of the body you need to engage in order to heal sickness. But it's really vague and almost a tease (you have to believe with the physical, mental, and emotional self that you are already healed. Oh, it's all so simple I guess...).. Also, I didn't learn how to meditate from the heart, which was my biggest interest in reading the book... although, I grant that I didn't listen to the cd it came with, maybe it teaches you on that?

I recommend taking a peek at something like the Sculptor in the Sky by Teal Scott, if anyone's on the fence with this book. I got this a long time ago when I was still new to this interest, but flipping through it again recently years later after so much more reading under my belt leaves me underwhelmed I ever bought it.

Living in the Heart, by Drunvalo, is a demonstration of what can be. Thinking with the Heart and letting the Brain do it's registering of the information. Very worth while reading and integrating into your space.

This book is basically about spiritualism and its realm. It is a kind of crazy book that tells you stories that sometimes are unbelievable but that are interesting. The neat part of the book is when the author explain our spiritual connections with everything in the universe and the use of our heart for thinking and feeling.

I appreciate the concept behind this book, but simply can't get over how terribly written it is. Author spews the claim of evidence without presenting any ("There is so much evidence for this. Anyway..."). Citations, references, interviews? Nope! Just hearsay written down, which doesn't make this controversial topic any easier to swallow. This "book" could have been a pamphlet, which is tragic since the topic has so much potential! Slogging through this word-vomit, like wet boots in deep snow, was so slow (because I was groaning so much!) and painful, I wanted to tweet the author and suggest he READ more, as the more you read the better you write! My next instinct was to edit the book and find references/evidence FOR him, but who has the time? My faith/hope in the publishing company (Light Technology Publishing) is in the landfill now; not only did they approve of this literary atrocity, they published it with errors (straight up, there is white-out on one of the pages!). I have since discovered folks who have good ideas AND know how to convey them in a respectable way. Suum cuique!
PS- look at the thumbs of the figure on the cover...huh?

Being enlightened, I have been teaching how to become enlightened for 40 years. Although Melchizedek pulled me into his book by the title, "Living in the Heart" he doesn't have a clue how to live in the heart. Going through the head is not the way to live in the heart; going through the heart is the way: to live in the heart, to access out true head/Mind. I am amazed he has such a large following. He is an unhealed healer and no one will become enlightened through his teachings. Perhaps in-spite-of his teachings but not through them. Although he sounds like he knows what he talks about he is in the dark not the light; he is in his intellect and it doesn't know the way to live in the heart. This may sound harsh but it is the Truth.

I cannot say enough about this book!! I am currently going through all of Drunvalo's works and am a daily practitioner of the merkaba meditation. The tools provided in this book coupled with the previous Flower of Life books has made a profound difference in the way i move through life. The epiphany's keep coming and i feel connected in ways i have not felt since my diaper dayz... read the book (book's) follow the meditations and logic guided by the heart. The heart is the primary 'mind', the source of divine connection. let it take you and rebuild who you are so that your tru self may be revealed to you and the world. Allow yourself to change so that you may change the world...

Living in the Heart is a misleading title, as the book is more about the author's stories than a 'how-to' live in the heart. He has some 'tales' to tell, but he continually 'warns' us, our experience will probably be different than his. There's a veritable smorgasbord of sources which get slopped together.
This leaves one with the feeling you're watching short attention span theater. Though he quotes knowledgeable sources, he then alters or
'simplifies' the original sources to make it easier? or more marketable? He tells of his connection with the indigenous Kogi people of Columbia,
then instead of using the 'method' they instructed him to use, he changes it for the sake of expedience. If you enjoy factoids or 'new age' stories,
this book may be entertaining. If you actually want to be living in the heart, find something which keeps to the spirit of the Kogi or
HeartMath (which again he mentions but slightly muddles to fit his parameters.)
