Nearly every time I mention meditation, I am met with the same comment, “I’ve tried to meditate, but I’ve always got thoughts in my head. I just can’t stop thinking about stuff!” With growing levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout, up to 20% of adults in the UK turn to meditation at some point in their lives.
But there are probably as many types of meditation as there are types of spices! So why choose Twin Hearts Meditation, a meditation created by Master Choa Kok Sui?
How is Twin Hearts Meditation different?
As a single parent and professional, I felt overwhelmed by the number of challenges that being a single parent added to my already high-pressure professional life. I had experienced burnout.
Before latching onto Twin Hearts Meditation, I had tried different types of therapy to move away from the trauma of my divorce, as well as a wide spectrum of guided meditations, from mindfulness to gratitude practices. I would listen, stay still, focus, and experience some sense of relief, but the very next day, I was still faced with the same overwhelming and negative emotions.
I can say that Twin Hearts helped me reap the benefits of meditation because its effects have been far more long-lasting.
Three reasons why Twin Hearts Meditation is different
Even if you have never meditated before, Twin Hearts Meditation is for you.
I discovered Twin Hearts Meditation when I joined an online meditation group during the pandemic, when isolation was heightened because we were not allowed to meet in person. It was unlike anything I had experienced before.
Guided by the voice of Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of Pranic Healing, the fastest-growing complementary energy therapy, and accompanied by calm background music, Twin Hearts Meditation is an experience in which every participant is asked to bless all humanity and the Earth with loving-kindness, transforming the meditation into an act of both giving and receiving.
I worked in the education sector at the time and asked for blessings for my establishment, all my colleagues, and my students. Help can be requested for organisations as well as for individual people. This is what I believe makes it a meditation with a difference, you are not just asking for peace and energy, but also giving.
Seven benefits of Twin Hearts Meditation
I have never looked back or wanted to stop practising Twin Hearts Meditation over the last seven years. When I discuss with other Pranic Healing practitioners and meditation participants the effects of not having time to meditate, we all come to the same conclusion, the day is not the same when we do not practise Twin Hearts Meditation. As a result, we make time for it because it genuinely improves the quality of our day.
As a way to regulate emotions, meditation became an anchor that helped me navigate professional pressure with greater clarity and emotional balance. Twin Hearts Meditation has always brought me a great sense of peace and dissipated the unrest created by emotional overwhelm. Often, I have experienced a sense of joy and lightness that carries over into the next day.
In an article published in Frontiers in Psychology, Camila P.R.A.T. Valim, Lucas M. Marques, and Paulo S. Boggio conducted an experiment with “90 healthy subjects without previous experience in meditation. Of these participants, 30 were submitted to the mindfulness practice with full attention on the observation of thoughts, 30 to the twin heart meditation, and 32 to the control group (no meditation practice).” Their “findings indicate that contemplative meditation (THM) can positively influence the emotion regulation ability, even when performed by non-meditators and only once. However, in mindfulness meditation, the same effect was not found.”
Meditation has a profound effect on our brains. Glenn J. Mendoza, MD, MPH, and Maria Nichole Perez, MD, remark in an article called “What Science Tells Us About Twin Hearts Meditation and Our Brain” that “Gamma Brain waves play role in simulating perceptions and have been noted to be increased in experienced meditators even when they are not meditating. Benefits of increased gamma brainwave activity include an improvement in memory, sensory perception, ability to synthesise information, more focused attention, increasing compassion and feeling of wellness as well as more joy and peace.”
Clearing your mind and regaining focus are benefits that you can apply to your professional activities to maintain your performance and to your home life to create greater presence.
Along with these benefits comes a certain calmness that you will experience on both psychological and physical levels after every meditation. There have been many times when we started the meditation by sharing our troubles in our meditation group, only to find that they had “melted like lemon drops” after the meditation. Your general stress level drops, and the next morning, you are ready to start the day in a much calmer state.
By attending meditation regularly, you will also notice that your vitality increases on a physical level, that you suffer less from minor ailments, and that you experience greater physical strength. This gives you a short time to check in with your body. How often do you sit down, do nothing, and focus all your attention on your body?
“Mendoza and colleagues conducted a follow-up study looking into the relationship between Twin Hearts Meditation, neurohormones, and neuropeptides. This showed increased melatonin in serum levels by up to 300%, as well as increased serotonin levels after Twin Hearts Meditation. Melatonin has been noted to correct sleep-wake patterns and help prevent ageing.”
Lastly, by meditating regularly, you increase your love vibration, or compassion, for others who are suffering. Because Twin Hearts Meditation is about giving and receiving, you can also ask for help regarding a particular situation or person and, should you wish, ask the group to offer blessings for them as well. This help can be requested on a physical or psychological level.
How to quieten the mind?
After practising Twin Hearts Meditation for the last seven years, I still experience many thoughts because life does not stop, challenges continually arise, and my restless mind tries to find solutions even during my daily practice.
With an average of 20,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day, rather than aiming for zero thoughts, a meditation beginner should aim to be consistent and accept that, in the same way that you learned to ride a bike in stages, you will get better at meditating little by little. You will improve your focus, receptivity, and stillness by practising regularly.
Where to find a group?
Twin Hearts Meditation is only 21 minutes long and is designed for everyone, regardless of religion or beliefs. As one of the participants shared with me, “I am Hindu, but I’m also spiritual!”
It is practised at events organised by the Institute of Pranic Healing UK and Ireland, as well as in meditation groups led by Pranic Healing instructors and Pranic healers. These groups gather once a week in person. Around the world, Twin Hearts Meditation is practised by hundreds of thousands of participants. Another way to access Twin Hearts Meditation is online, where you will find many recordings.
I cannot stress enough the impact that meditation, which I recommend as part of my Six Months Premium Experience, can have when you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted from burnout. This is not only time you give to yourself and your body, it is also a way to replenish your energy, enabling you to optimise every area of your life and become the very best version of yourself!
