Deeply heart-centered spiritual teachers

6 posts in this topic

Who would you say are the deeply heart-centered spiritual teachers alive today? The ones who make you drop right into presence just hearing them speak. 

A few I'm drawn to currently:

-Thomas Huebl 

-John Prendergast 

-Adyashanti 

-Tara Brach

-Matt Kahn

Ah so there's a catch. For me it would be David R Hawkins {he's dead} in terms of heart based teachers out there. Heart based approach he seems to mostly encourage. "Life affirming" to what's around you, "Seeing the beauty in life", "Being of service" etc. 

Only two people I'm taking in rn are David Hawkins and Peter Ralston (What's missing is formal practice now). Ofc listening or intaking any teacher alone won't save you. The mind will find a way to create pathologies or get stuck with anything or anyone.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

One teacher who still seems to be pretty obscure is Jon Bernie, whose teachings I stumbled across at an extremely difficult and painful time in my life and for whom I'm eternally grateful, because he's the most heart-centred teacher I've come across. He puts out podcasts from time to time, all of which can be found here: https://www.jonbernie.org/podcasts/
