The Heartfulness method of meditation combines the ancient technique of Pranahuti (yogic Transmission) during meditation with a mental practice called Cleaning, both enabled by initiation. These features distinguish it from other meditation systems studied scientifically. This paper introduces the practices and their philosophical basis, reflects on possible mechanisms of effects on body and mind based on research in other meditation systems, and suggests directions for future research.
