What is Meditation on Twin Hearts?
Meditation on Twin Hearts is a simple yet powerful technique introduced by Master Choa Kok Sui for achieving cosmic consciousness or what we often call “illumination.” It is also a form of service to the world by increasing harmony and peace through becoming a channel to bless the earth with loving-kindness.
In fact among all the techniques taught by Master Choa Kok Sui, perhaps none prompts as many glowing testimonials of personal healing and positive life transformation as the Meditation on Twin Hearts.
Meditation on Twin Hearts is designed based on the principle that some of the major chakras such as the crown chakra are the entry points or gateways to certain levels of consciousness. Therefore to achieve illumination the crown chakra should be sufficiently activated.
The crown chakra can only be activated when the heart chakra is first sufficiently activated.
There are many ways of activating the heart and crown chakras, such as Hatha yoga, yogic breathing techniques, chanting mantras and visualization techniques. All of these techniques are effective but not fast enough. One of the most effective and fastest ways to activate these chakras is through the Meditation on Twin Hearts. It basically helps to transform the internal condition of the practitioner. When during meditation we transform despair into hope, doubt into faith and darkness into light, we will be filled internally with hope, faith and light. This in fact creates a healing and transforming effect.
This meditation is truly special. It works on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels to open the heart chakra (the physical heart) and the crown chakra (the spiritual heart), thereby enabling the practitioner to draw down a great amount of divine energy into the crown and into the system.
Explained by Master, “when you do Meditation on Twin Hearts a lot of Soul Energy comes down. You become whole and more connected and one with your higher soul.” (Master Choa Kok Sui, 2006, p. 30) It therefore acts as a bridge between the emotional love of the incarnated soul and the divine love of the higher soul.
Many practitioners of the Twin Hearts Meditation have reported heightened levels of intuition, increased healing powers, sharper and more organized mental faculties, inner peace, loving kindness, compassion, enhanced Spiritual service, brighter and more balanced aura, larger chakras, enhanced communication with the Higher Self, the development of clairvoyance and other inner psychic abilities, healthier physical body, more success in life with less stress, and a more balanced personality.
In fact Meditation on Twin Hearts flushes and cleanses the aura using the Spiritual energy thereby clearing and sharpening the mind and calming the emotions. It basically works as a spiritual shower. When the aura is clean and bright you will experience calmness, stillness and as a result a higher level of awareness. The other benefits listed above are only the positive side effects.
“Practicing stillness and awareness enables you to engage in higher spiritual activities. Within the stillness is greater spiritual activity. Stillness is just a stepping stone.” (Master Choa Kok Sui, 2006, p. 13)
The cleansing in this case happens in three different levels; cleansing from our own unwholesome thoughts and emotions, cleansing from the negative thought and emotions of other people coming to us, and cleansing from the contamination caused by living in a large and crowded city.
7 Benefits from Twin Heart Meditation:
- Improved health – Once the divine energy flows through you, it naturally flushes the used up and unwanted energies within your system; so after the meditation you become a fresher ‘You’.
- Reduced stress, anxiety and depression – Twin Heart disintegrates the unwanted emotions and thought forms within your chakras and aura. It makes positivity and happiness come naturally to you.
- Sharper mind and greater happiness – Once the unwanted thought forms and emotions are out of your system, your mind becomes clear and your emotions more refined.

In the previous post, we have introduced you about twin heart meditation and its benefits. If you want to practice twin heart meditation, these are 8 steps to do it.
Step 1: Physical Exercise
The first step in twin heart meditation is doing some physical exercises in about five minutes to warm up your body. This will help you to remove negativity energy and make you active and ready for the next steps.
Step 2: Divine’s Blessing
The next step is praying and worshiping God in order to invoke blessings. Each religion has different Gods and you have the right to seek blessings from the faith you belong to. You should ask for help, protection, peace, and bliss not only for yourself but also for your beloved.
Then, connect your tongue to the palate. This will finish the connection between the two heart sections and begin the circulation of energy throughout the meditation.
Step 3: Bless The Earth
Next, press the crown chakra (the spiritual heart) with your fingers for a couple of seconds. This will help in concentration. You also need to bless the world with a feeling of love, and kindness in your heart. Try to feel the positive energy around you and speak words of happiness, peace, love, and harmony.
Step 4: Meditation
You can begin with your meditation after the crown chakra has been activated. You have to imagine a golden light going down from your hands towards the earth. Bless the earth with kind words as well.
Step 5: Chant “Om”
Now again take a deep breath and a pause for the moment and start chanting the word “Om”. Chanting the word can carry huge power and eliminate the negativity. The vibrations of the word “Om” directly connects you to the universe. You can also use Amen if you like. Continue doing this for about ten minutes and then relax. Remember to look at the crown of your head in a gentle and loving way.
Step 6: Release All Excess Energy
After you are through the meditation, you should release all excess energy by raising both your hands in the air with your palms outwards. Release energy by blessing the earth with love, peace, joy, and happiness in your heart. Keep doing this for several minutes until your body is normalized. You can also bless your family members and the ones you love also.
Step 7: Give Thanks
After finishing the above steps, you must thank the Supreme Being for his spiritual guidance and divine blessings.
Step 8: Physical Exercises and Massaging
The final thing is massaging your body or doing some physical exercises for about five minutes. This will help you feel bright, strong and healed after meditating.
How to Meditate: Steps in Twin Hearts
1. Cleansing Exercise. Cleanse the ether body by doing simple physical exercises for about five to ten minutes. During the exercise, light grayish matter, or used-up Parana, is expelled from the ether body. Physical exercises also minimize possible pranic congestion since the meditation generates a lot of subtle energies in the body. Exercise is not optional.
2. Sit in a comfortable position. You may now sit comfortably either on the floor (in a position such as the Padmasana semi-lotus position) or on a chair. If you are sitting on a chair, try and sit erect without leaning on its back. Assume a receptive pose – your spine erect and palms turned upwards, resting on your lap.
3. Invoke for Divine Blessings. The invocation is important to one’s protection, help and guidance. Without the invocation, the practice of any advanced meditation al technique can be dangerous. You may choose your own words and language depending on your faith or religion.
4. Connect the tongue to the palate. Keep your tongue touching the palate throughout the meditation. This is to facilitate and complete the circulation of energy in the body.
5. Activating the Heart Chakra. Press the center of your chest (heart area) with your finger or a few seconds. Recall a happy event you have experienced. Smile at your heart chakra. (If you are unfamiliar with the concept of chakras, you may read about it in more detail in an article published in our online magazine).
6. Activating the Crown Chakra. Press the top of your head for a few seconds. Recall a happy event you have experienced. Smile at your crown chakra.
7. Bless the Earth with the Heart Chakra: Raise your hands with your hands facing outward. Imagine the earth in front of you at the size of a small ball. Concentrate on the front heart chakra and bless the whole world with loving-kindness through your hands. The blessing should not be done mechanically. When blessing the entire earth, visualize it as a small ball in front of you, being filled with dazzling bluish pink light. During the blessing, visualize people smiling and filled with joy, faith, hope, and peace. Visualize enemies reconciling, embracing and forgiving each other. You should also personally feel joy, happiness, and peace filling your entire being while blessing the earth. Do not direct these blessings to infants, children or individuals because they might be overwhelmed by the intense energy generated by this meditation. You may use the prayer of Saint Francis Assisi while blessing the earth.
8. Bless the Earth with the Crown Chakra: Then bless the planet earth with loving-kindness from the crown chakra through your hands. Feel the same positive energies you evoked in the previous step. Visualize brilliant white light from your crown chakra flowing through your hands blessing the entire earth.
9. Blessing with both Crown and Heart Chakras. Bless the earth simultaneously from both the Crown and Heart chakras with golden light. This will align the two chakras and make the blessing more potent. Feel the same positive energies you evoked in the previous steps.
10. Achieving Illumination. For illumination (expansion of consciousness), visualize a point of dazzling white light on top of your head and simultaneously chant mentally the mantra OM (you may also use the mantra Amen or Amen if you choose to). Concentrate on the intervals or gaps (moments of silence) between the Om’s, while maintaining your concentration on the point of light. Do this for about 10 to 15 minutes. When you can fully concentrate simultaneously on the point of light and on the intervals between the OMs, you will experience an inner explosion of light. Continue with your meditation. Relax and let go.
11. Releasing Excess Energy. After meditation it is important to release all excess energy by blessing the earth through your hands, with light, loving-kindness, peace, and prosperity for several minutes until you feel your body has normalized. Do not direct these blessings to infants, children or individuals because they might be overwhelmed by the intense energy generated by this meditation. Blessings may be directed to organizations and nations. Continue blessing if you still feel congested; otherwise the excess energy may cause headaches and chest pains. The physical body may also deteriorate in the long run if there is too much energy in the etheric body.
12. Grounding or Rooting. Grounding is another technique to release excess energy from your body by blessing the earth. Gently be aware of the base of the spine. Project your consciousness down into the earth and imagine light descending into the earth three meters or 10 feet deep. Bless Mother Earth with divine love, divine light and divine power.
13. Giving thanks to the higher beings for the divine blessing. This is very important. Master Choa always invoked for divine blessing before and after the meditation. You may choose your own words and language depending on your faith or religion.
14. Massaging and Physical Exercises: This step facilitates the assimilation of the Prancing and spiritual energies, thereby enhancing the health of the practitioner. Although the ether body will become very bright and strong, the visible physical body will become weak because it will not be able to withstand the leftover energy generated by the meditation in the long run. It is very important to massage and exercise your body after the meditation; otherwise, the visible body will inevitably be weakened. Massaging would minimize congestion and facilitate the smoother flow of energy in your body. Towards releasing additional excess energy please do the same set of physical exercises that you did before the meditation. This step is not optional.
In some cases practitioners might tend to feel “spaced-out” even after doing through massaging and a set of physical exercise. This would tend to happen because the practitioners’ energy body might be congested and hence is not able to assimilate the energy generated by the meditation. The situation can be easily remedied by doing another set of the prescribed physical exercises.
