Heart Mind as One
a Standing, Moving Form of Sheng Zhen
This form is for calming the disposition.
A calm disposition has no worries and is able to nurture qi.
A calm disposition is empty; it has no cares.
Qi is in harmony; the body is in balance.
All forms of Sheng Zhen Meditation help open the heart to experience the power of love, but each form has its own flavor. Heart Mind as One, which is a standing form involving eleven movements and associated contemplations, cultivates inner peace and stillness.
The eleven movements of Heart Mind as One calm the disposition, harmonize the qi, and bring balance to the body. Inner stillness brings you back to the original purity of the heart, and worries vanish.

Excerpt from the contemplation for Heart Mind as One:
“The mind is calm when free of the small self.
Traveling upwards, it reaches the heavens; downwards, it goes to the earth. All come together in man.
The heart becomes peaceful. There is love in the heart. Allow this feeling to envelop you and lead your mind to subdue all fears and anxieties.”
