A practice for you
For some, meditation may be about accessing deep stillness. For others, it is about moving energy, healing trauma, or gaining clarity.

Harshada's approach to meditation
A deeply personal, adaptable, healing-focused approach to meditation—one that serves the person, not the other way around.
A personal approach
Everyone is different.
“Everyone is different. Our minds and hearts and bodies are different. Our lives are different. It's silly to think one single meditation technique or approach is going to work for everyone. Everyone can meditate deeply—but we need to find what works for us.”
After practicing and teaching for over 30 years, Harshada has developed a unique approach to meditation—one that is deeply personal, adaptable, and rooted in healing.

A different measure
It doesn't have to be boring.
Many people think of meditation as a practice of stillness, but for most, Harshada believes stillness is not what they actually need. What people truly need is connection—to their inner power, their deep clarity, and the deeper, wiser, and more powerful aspects of their being.
Meditation becomes boring when we are trying to use a method that doesn't suit us. Many people believe that meditation isn't for them or that it's impossible, or that it is an endurance practice. Harshada is passionate about reframing these misconceptions.
“I get bored really easily and there is NOTHING more boring than boring meditation. Sit and watch your breath meditations work great for a small percentage of people. People think they can't meditate. They can. People think it has to be boring and painful. I think it really MUST NOT be boring or painful.”
The remedy
Meditation as a healing journey.
The Sanskrit word upāya means remedy. This is the word Harshada uses for spiritual practice. Practices are chosen as remedies— specific for various needs.
02
A practice of self love
Meditation and other spiritual practices need to be first and foremost acts of self love vs. self improvement or self correction.
03
Liberation, not conformity
Rather than forcing the body and mind into stillness, this approach allows meditation to be dynamic, personal, and alive.
The Three Hearts approach
A full spectrum experience.
The Upper Heart, seated in the head and face, is the seat of celestial intelligence, spiritual wisdom, unconditional love, and higher knowing.
The Middle Heart, seated in the chest, is the center of human relational energy, emotional intelligence, service, and nurturing, human love and connectedness.
The Lower Heart, seated in the pelvis, is our animal intelligence and embodied instinct. This heart governs pleasure, sexuality, and connection to the earth and the five elements.
When these three hearts are open, activated, and clear, we have a full spectrum experience of spiritual awakening and deep healing.
