Do not lie flat on your back as it may put you to sleep.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading5\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse5\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse5\">What is the source of light in the heart upon which we meditate?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse5\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading5\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">Do not try to see light, such as a flame or candle. Instead, simply assume with conviction that the light is there radiating from within \u2013 light without luminosity. You need not go on repeating that thought. Instead, simply observe your inner being very lightly and gently, without forcing the mind to concentrate.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading6\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse6\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse6\">What do I do if my mind is racing with thoughts?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse6\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading6\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">It is normal to have thoughts, as they are natural \u2013 it is the function of the mind to think. If your mind starts engaging with other thoughts, simply return your attention to the light in the heart. Over time, as a result of practicing meditation, the thoughts will no longer disturb you. They will pass like clouds in the sky. You will learn to dive deeper into the stillness of your mind. If for any reason the thoughts are too distracting, open your eyes for a few seconds and then continue meditation with eyes closed.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading7\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse7\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse7\">Does Heartfulness require strenuous effort, difficult techniques, a special diet, etc.?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse7\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading7\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">Heartfulness offers flexibility to go at your own pace, as per your own convenience. You can practice in the comfort of your home or even while in flight or in a bus. As you feel the benefit and as your interest grows, a normalization of effort and habits will set in naturally. As your mind is refined, so also will your thoughts and actions.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading8\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse8\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse8\">Are there any fees or charges for practicing Heartfulness?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse8\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading8\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">Heartfulness practice, including sessions with trainers, is completely free of any cost or fees. All that is required is joyful willingness for self-development.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading9\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse9\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse9\">What if I do other practices?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse9\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading9\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">There is no harm in doing Heartfulness in addition to your other practices or worships. You will be guided naturally to take the best of it as you proceed.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header\" id=\"heading10\">\n<h5 class=\"mb-0\">\n<div class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse10\" aria-expanded=\"\" aria-controls=\"collapse10\">Is Heartfulness affiliated with any religion or political movement?<\/div>\n<\/h5><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapse10\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading10\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">No. Heartfulness is open to people of any religion, political leaning, race, gender and other persuasion.
