Union of Three Hearts Meditation
Union of Three Hearts Meditation is a non-moving form of Sheng Zhen, and it was through Master Li Junfeng's practice of this meditation that the other Sheng Zhen forms came to be!
It can be practiced sitting on the floor or in a chair--it can even be done lying down if back pain prevents you from relaxing in the seated position. The important thing is to relax and be comfortable. Over time, sitting for longer periods of time can get easier.
When the body is relaxed, it's easier for Union of Three Hearts to work its magic of training the mind and quieting the heart. In this practice, we feel or imagine the qi moving in a specified pathway within the body. The purpose of this qi movement within the body is to connect (or unite) and clear the path between three of the main energy centers in the body. These three energy centers are what we refer to here as the "three hearts," and they represent the heart of Earth, the heart of human, and the heart of heaven/spirit. Through the practice, we can experience a sense of merging with the Universe, which leads to a greater sense of peace and contentment as well as greater insights and clarity.

"Union of Three Hearts meditation, came at a time I was seeking greater spiritual guidance and proved to be one of the most powerful tools I’ve continued to use, when exploring my internal dialog. The class itself was beautifully paced, while Rebecca’s calming voice and gentle instruction, helped steer my meditative journey through some profound moments of understanding and joy; a truly transformative experience.” –Mike Bennett, Seattle, WA
"Union of Three Hearts is an easy, beautiful meditation to add to your life. I found it to be subtle and deeply relaxing. I've felt more centered than I have in a long time when doing this practice..." –Ifa, Seattle, WA

Class Logistics
Why online? I want this class to be easily accessible for students near and far. And with the launch of Sheng Zhen's free online school, I want to offer a way for students who don't have teachers near them to have a live online class in support of the first module that includes Union of Three Hearts Meditation. Of course this is also open to those who live in Seattle or have teachers near them. Sometimes online classes are just easier, especially during rush hour, since there's no need to sit in traffic to get there! :)
How does the online platform work? We'll be using Zoom, and if you've never used it before, you'll want to install it prior to the first class. You do not need to have a Zoom account to join the class. But you will be prompted to download the software, once you have clicked on the link that you will receive after registering for this class.

You can join via video, so that you can see me (and others in attendance). You have the option of having your own camera on or off. It's also okay to just call in if you prefer! Union of Three Hearts is a non-moving, seated meditation, so your eyes will be closed anyway.
Please note that video can be nice for when we're getting started, saying hello, and also towards the end of our time together, when there's time for Q&A and comments. However, it is perfectly fine to join by phone or to join online but keep your video off--whatever is most comfortable for you!
