A free Heartfulness Meditation workshop will be held 2 to 4 p.m. April 23 in the Assembly Room at the A.K. Smiley Public Library, 125 W. Vine St., Redlands.

According to Shitij Mehta, who will lead the workshop, Heartfulness Meditation is a simple and natural path of heart-centered wellness that fosters balance, peace and well-being.

The introductory practices include a relaxation exercise and a Heartfulness Meditation.

This approach to wellness centers on using the heart to guide people on their journey to personal development and inner enrichment, according to Mehta. By focusing attention on the heart, people gradually learn to regulate the mind while exploring the secrets of the heart, according to Mehta.

Training in Heartfulness Meditation takes the focus and attention from the mind to the heart, according to Mehta. People feel a relief from stress and anxiety as they begin to experience life through the serenity of their hearts. Heartfulness Meditation fosters healthier and more positive relationships by increasing ones capacity for empathy, joy and love, according to Mehta.

Heartfulness Meditation gives people an opportunity to discover their inner selves and their connection with the whole of life, according to Mehta.

The workshop is offered free of charge through the Heartfulness Institute, a nonprofit organization.

Heartfulness welcomes people from all secular and faith backgrounds.
