This entry-level course in the IAM curriculum teaches basic Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM), the method of feeling your heartbeat and synchronizing your breath to produce a rhythmically-changing heartrate. This heartrate pattern gives cardiac strength and emotional power, and makes living from the heart attainable. HRM is fundamentally unlike other kinds of meditation in both intent and technique. more

101 may be taken as either a webcourse or a live seminar. Either way, the course teaches the basic eight steps of the method, as shown in this diagram.

Heart Rhythm Meditation coordinates your body's internal rhythms, producing entrainment of the heartbeat, breath and brainwaves. This makes a working connection between the mind and heart so that your emotions become understandable and your desires conscious. more

An early form of Heart Rhythm Meditation was recorded among the earliest Christians. more IAM has updated the practice with the aid of scientific instrumentation to create the best known method for increasing Heart Rate Variability, a key measurement of cardio-vascular health. more

IAM was a pionneer in Internet-based meditation instruction, starting in 1998. We have shown that it's easy to learn this heart-based meditation technique from your home. But you don't do it alone - you will be supported in the process by those who are studying and practicing with you. A community of meditators results from the shared practice and the daily communication, and that helps keep you in the practice. You can feel the group meditating with you!

Your teacher has completed a rigorous training in Heart Rhythm Meditation and a specialized training in leading the webcourse.

The steps in the Webcourse are arranged as a series of rooms under the virtual Meditation Dome. Each room has learning objectives, specific instructions and materials for that step, and a new message log for writing and responding to each other. You practice the meditation daily and post messages about your experience. You can report on the meditation and it's application, ask questions, and dialogue with the group. Your teacher will post advice and responses to you in the same message log. You'll benefit from the answers to your questions and to those of the others as well. All the messages are retained in the Meditation Dome so you can review them, respond to them, and derive continued inspiration from them. As an option, you can have the messages delivered to you by email as well.

Course 101W registration is closed.
