The Heart Rules

The Heart Rules is Guru Prem Singh's answer to the how-do-you-do-that of Love and Yoga. To understand love, you have to become it. It is the same in yoga: to understand an asana or kriya, you have to put your whole heart into it. If you let the position of your heart guide the way you inhabit your body, you begin to embody love, and it leads you to the "asana", the "comfortable seat", which is the easy way to live and to do yoga.

The Heart Rules music and mantra collection comes as a free downloadable companion to this book.

This book was edited and illustrated by Harijot Kaur Khalsa. In the first section, Recognition, you will try on a new image of yourself as a heart-ruled human. You will begin by changing the way you think about your body, and then explore how to put your heart in a ruling position, what it takes physically, and how the breath supports that.

In Reclamation you will see how your new heart-ruled body image helps you work specifically on opening up the shoulders and the hips. This section includes 7 Kundalini Yoga kriyas.

In Realization you will first look into the achievement of a comfortable sitting posture, because the more comfortable your seat, the more comfortable the meditation will be, and the more deeply and joyfully you can experience it. Following that you will explore different manifestations of heart energy, and try meditations that develop these aspects of the heart.
