Meditations on Heart-Activity: Given by Rudolf Steiner

Verses of mantric character are part of the foundation of the life and work in
the Anthroposophic movement and the specialty fields inspired by it. In the
following compilation we chose several themes from the rich store of indications
and meditations concerning the heart and the heart-functions that
demonstrate at the same time the place of the heart as a central focus of meditation.
“The sentences that we consider in our meditation are not to be grasped only
by our intellect; I can only say again and again: these sentences are alive,
and we need to live with them just as we live with children. We also know our
children well, yet we occupy ourselves with them every day anew. This is how
it should also be with the sentences for meditation... for only in this way does
meditation become fruitful that the thoughts to be meditated upon can stream
into us and work upon us in complete inner quietness.”
