Tending the Heart Fire | Free Book
"We are created in rhythm, kept alive in rhythm, evolve through
rhythm. Tides, breath, and blood flow in rhythm. We are born into
a universe of currents, and our heart is the great conductor of
the body, orchestrating our flow."
The mystical foundations of all the world's spiritual paths
meet in a single, sacred place: the heart of the seeker. We have
reached a time when scientific understanding mirrors the teachings
of the great wisdom traditions in revealing our energetic heart as
the light of consciousness, the fire of love, a field of
intelligence. Tending the Heart Fire, the first book by
pioneering yogini Shiva Rea, is an invitation to embody our
extraordinary potential at this turning point in time, to reconnect
your life to the rhythms of your body and the natural world—to live
in flow with the pulse of life.
Weaving together wisdom from
the great world traditions—including yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, and
modern science—Shiva presents an essential resource for becoming a
firekeeper of the sacred heart. This diverse treasury is filled with
mediations, life guidance, seasonal rituals, and daily practices,
including:
Insights for harmonizing with the sacred
junctures of time—the daily, weekly, lunar, and solar cycles of
manifestation and renewalAligning with the seasons—how to adapt your
diet, exercise, and yoga rhythms throughout the annual cycle Ways to
honor the great sacred holidays, rites, and festivalsAwakening of
sahaja—the natural flow at the origins and source of yoga
asana and sacred embodiment at the heart of yoga and TantraSkills
for tending your inner fire in every aspect of life and healing
imbalances that can support a renewable energy lifestyleA visual
teaching with over a hundred full-color images, including reference
charts, diagrams, illustrations, and ancient poetry for
inspiration
The legacy of the Heart Fire is more than eight
hundred thousand years old—and in our modern world, we need more
than ever to consciously reconnect to the radiant field that
transcends time, space, and culture. "The direct awakening of the
heart often happens when we are at a crisis point, when the armor of
our heart has to crack," writes Shiva Rea. "Let us return to the
power and magnificence of our hearts—as living fire, as intelligent
energy and electromagnetic radiance, and as our illuminating guide
toward love, creativity, and deep knowing of our true sacred
nature."
