A treasury of meditations for living from your heart—from a top teacher at the #1 online meditation service InsightTimer.
 
In our noisy, noisy world, it can seem nearly impossible to find ways to turn off our busy minds, which so often flood us with worry and unending lists of tasks. So how do you find your way off the negativity treadmill? When you feel overwhelmed and afraid, how can you return to a place of groundedness and connection?
 
“When we turn toward our hearts, we arrive like a bolt of lightning in the present moment, and all our arguments against ourselves and life go quiet,” teaches Sarah Blondin. “No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, you can touch this place in yourself to feel free and alive.”
 
With poetic brilliance and skillful instruction, this renowned teacher brings you a treasury of meditations and spiritual teachings to help you detach from your busy mind and tune into your feeling heart. As the students of her popular online trainings can attest, these simple and powerful practices can instantly bring you into a deeper connection with yourself and others. And you can go back to these meditations whenever you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or afraid.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“We suffer when we become separated from our deepest, truest nature. Heart Minded offers us guidance on the sacred journey home . . . helping us to awaken from our busy, never satisfied minds to the heartspace where love is always and already right here.” ―Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance

“A relevant, practical guide, full of inspiration to help you clear the channel of your heart and follow your truth.” ―
Elena Brower, bestselling author of Practice You

“Gentle and wise, Blondin’s approach is characterized by the bedside manner of devoted midwife to your healing process. Like her voice, it is a soothing poultice for the weary-but-spirited seeker.
Heart Minded will crack you open down the middle from page one. It is all at once a centering meditation, a practice, and an olive branch extended into the depths of your soul.” ―Pixie Lighthorse, author of Prayers of Honoring

“There is so much that can be said about this collection of work. It embodies a bold truth that encourages self-reflection.
Heart Minded unleashes the inner magic of unfolding to bloom.” ―Alexandra Elle, author of Neon Soul, Words from a Wanderer, and Love in My Language

“In a world fraught with separation, anxiety, and distraction, there can never be enough positive attention given, never enough prayer, never enough books about love.
Heart Minded is the antidote, the great reminder, to be heart- and love-focused moment to precious moment. Raw, direct, and accessible, this book invites and instructs you, as Mary Oliver once advised, to ‘love the soft animal of your body.’ Sarah Blondin, with equal softness of voice and heart, says, in effect, yes, it’s safe ‘to step into the wisdom of your own sensitivity’ with heart wide open (listen up, fellow men, this is not a book for women alone!). Here you will find healing, creativity, and bright awakening beyond your wildest dreams.” ―Albert Flynn DeSilver, author of Writing as a Path to Awakening

“Seems the great 14-century Persian mystic Hafiz may have written an endorsement for this book years ago. As a famous rendering of some of his verse by me goes:

‘How did the rose ever open its heart and give to the world
all of its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light― of love―against its
being, otherwise one might remain too frightened.’

The heart, even on its better days, can be just one wing needed to fly.
The other wing―love from someone else, or from a beautiful creature,
or some synergy with a gorgeous mountain or sky―can cause your
spirit to awake, unfurl, give thanks and know joy.

Sarah Blondin and her love, and this beautiful book, can be a golden wing, I bet, to many. I hope this book helps the whole world to dance.” ―
Daniel Ladinsky, international bestselling poet and author

Everyone must read and follow the practices in this book!
I recently, at the age of 56, I finally discovered that I have been suppressing my feelings for most of my life. I have been working on “how to feel.” Sounds silly, but many of us don’t know how. We stuff, hide, suppress and cover our feelings for a multitude of legitimate reasons.Sarah, you have a gift and you are a gift. EVERYONE should read this book. Especially now. If everyone in our country who is fearful, angry, hateful, rioting, destroying, shooting, name calling, shaming, and blaming would read this, do the meditations, and learn how to feel and love themselves, our country would begin to heal.I just ordered this Heart Minded for my three adult children. I wish I would have had this when they were little.Sarah, thank you and God bless you!

I religiously meditate every night to Sarah Blondin meditations! Her meditations are so inspiring and relatable. When I first heard her about 4 years ago, I thought she had climbed into my head and explained the mess that goes on up there. I have to say I would not have made it through the last 2 years without her inspiring, from the heart writings. I initially got this book on an audiobook, and it speaks to my soul. Its almost like a soundtrack of putting meaning to this life. I have never heard anyone explain my life as well as Sarah does. She is relatable and reminds you that you need to be present, be here now -in this world because your presence is powerful to any situation you are going through! And your self worth is self determined, by you and not anyone else on this earth. There are so many quotes I can put in this review, but I hold back and just recommend to check Sarah Blondin out, she may just help you save yourself as well from this chaotic world. I ordered the kindle verson as well because some of her meditations are so amazing, I wanted to share excerpts with friends and loved ones. I could write pages of what Sarah has inspired in my life, and this review is not enough for her gift of putting words to how I am feeling when I have no words to describe it. Thats the only way I can describe her writings. its a beautiful book from beginning to end. You can find her meditations on youtube and recorded episodes of her "Live Awake " podcasts. I would be my highest recommendation to bring you back to center and how important it is to be in the present moment.

"Heart Minded" is a treasure trove of love and truth that I feel so grateful to have discovered. Each page is a gentle reminder of the power of an open heart and the importance of inner connection, and the practices Sarah Blondin provides are not just exercises; they are profound journeys into the soul, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.

This book has truly touched my heart, as Sarah's meditations on the Insight Timer app have, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a genuine, open-hearted life path.

My trauma therapist introduced me to this book, and I love it. I have the Kindle version, so it links immediately to the meditations. She has such a wonderful voice. This book is a journey. I read it slowly and do pieces over again. I'm a skeptic with a dread of any hint of "Woo," and it takes time to shut up my internal cynical commentary. But the truth is, what she describes IS scientific and based in research. She simply presents the information in a way that speaks to the heart and mind. It has helped me cry, heal, think. And integrates well with my Mindfulness practice and yoga. Give this book a shot. I haven't found any issues with the ebook so far. Although,I think I may also get the Audible version because her voice is so soothing, gentle, and lovely.

I have been following Sarah Blondin for a couple of years now. I am so happy to say that this book has delivered on all of my expectations. This book and much of Sarah's work aims to reconnect us with a feeling of love and comfort that most of us didn't even know we were missing. If you fully immerse yourself in the writing in this book, you will notice a significant shift in your thinking. You will realize that there has always been a tiny feeling of safety and happiness that peeks out every once in a while and then mysteriously vanishes. This book will help you hold on to that feeling and cultivate self-love and confidence inside of you.

I recommend this book to literally everyone. In a time of uncertainty and fear, we could all benefit immeasurably from Sarah's teachings right now. I hope the whole world will one day be lucky enough to have been impacted by Sarah's work.

Sarah has a brilliantly beautiful gift for guiding others to the depth of their hearts in a gentle and graceful way. I remember the first time I came across one of her meditations. She moved me in a way no other meditation teacher has.

Her book Heart-Minded is truly out of this world! Eloquent and exquisite are the two words I think of when I think about her writing which is deep to the core. The meditations that accompany this fine body of work that has brought me to new depths, released many tears and helped me stand even stronger in the light of who I am.

I’ve already gifted this book to a friend and also recommended it to several of my clients…and this isn’t the end, as I will continue to spread the word about this book that will no doubt help many in some pretty powerful and potent ways.

I love the content of this book. But I bought it in the audible version and it feels like one long guided meditation. The author reads it in this very slow, soft voice. Her voice is nice but I normally listen in my car and honestly I would just like to hear the information in a normal reading tone. Audible does have the option of speeding up the audio so maybe that might help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful work written straight from the heart
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2020
I found Sarah Blondin through the Insight Timer app and have been practicing her meditations regularly for the past year or so. When I learned that she was publishing a book, I knew I had to get it. Her Insight Timer meditations and course have spoken to me on such a deep level. Her voice is so soothing, vulnerable and authentic and she speaks the true language of my heart. And this book, Heart Minded, is just like that and so much more. It's very obvious from the first sentence that Sarah wrote this book straight from the message of her heart, a message that I think is a universal message. I am only two chapters into this book. It's set up in a way that you can read it sequentially to find your way back to your true self, building up at your own pace. Or, you can open the book at any section and learn from it at random. It's a book I'll keep coming back to every day in my daily morning meditations.

If you purchase the book, you receive access to a website with supporting recorded meditations by Sarah that correspond to the topic addressed in each chapter. If you have ever heard any of Sarah's meditations on Insight Timer, you will know how beautiful these recordings are, and this batch of completely new meditations are, in my opinion, even more authentic, pleasurable and eye-opening. I've listened to the first two so far and have been driven to tears on both occasions as her words just speak directly to my heart, and pierce it wide open.

Sarah, thank you so much for writing this book, for being a vessel which these messages from the universe are communicated through and birthed into life. It's a stunning piece of work that I will cherish throughout my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Feminine Account of Spiritual Truths
Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2021
I believe that Sarah's writing parallels many spiritual teachings. I was introduced to Sarah by her meditations on Insight Timer, which at the time had a big impact on me. Her writing is poetic and feminine, and is not something that I would usually gravitate toward. On the flip side, the most masculine account of similar spiritual truths that I have read is Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. While this book was a little too feminine and poetic for my tastes, I am still happy to have read the book and most importantly to have supported Sarah. Through those free meditations on insight timer she reinforced my spiritual journey in a meaningful way, and for that I am very grateful.
