Stability in Self-Awareness: Intimate Guidance Tailored to Your Inner Spiritual Dynamic

After a Hridaya Retreat or Module, we may feel a profound opening of the heart, but when we return to daily life, we may find that this sacred connection slowly fades under the weight of old habits, responsibilities, and challenges.

If you long to stabilize and deepen the transformation you experienced, the Hridaya Spiritual Companionship Program offers you intimate guidance and support from an experienced Hridaya teacher through systematic one-on-one sessions.

Spiritual Companionship meetings are different from psychotherapy, counseling, mentoring, or coaching. They are moments of shared presence in which you will be wisely and lovingly guided to return to the Heart, your sacred essence, to commit to your practice, and to rekindle your aspiration.

Each session lasts one hour and takes place online. You may book a series of 4, 8, or 12 sessions, held about a week apart.

Is this for you?

This program is for you if you have completed Hridaya Yoga Retreat: Module 1, or a 3- or 10-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat, and you wish to keep what opened there alive in daily life.

You will experience

  • Help in seeing situations from a spiritual perspective
  • Advice for maintaining the Witnessing Attitude
  • Support and insight during periods of confusion, dryness, or difficulty in practice
  • Deep listening with love, non-judgmental presence, and empathy
  • Constant reorientation to the Spiritual Heart, the ultimate source of healing
  • The spaciousness and freedom of shared intimate presence
  • Guidance for your practice and suggestions for daily tapas
  • A reliable companion and friend on your spiritual journey
“Only ‘I am’ is first-hand and needs no proofs. Stay with it.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj

Your Spiritual Companions

Each Companion is an experienced Hridaya teacher. Sessions are held online, in English. The country simply tells you where they usually teach, and their time zone; you are welcome to choose whoever you resonate with.

How a Session Unfolds

These intimate meetings flow in freedom, according to your spiritual needs. What follows is simply a suggested framework.

  1. Sacred SilenceWe begin by consecrating the meeting to the Spiritual Heart, our Ultimate Essence, and resting together in awareness and stillness before any sharing.
  2. SharingYou speak of what is alive for you, while your Companion listens from the Heart.
  3. Spiritual ReorientationYour Companion may ask further questions and offer reflections, reminders of the Hridaya Attitudes and teachings, and a tapas meant to support your transformation.
  4. Final QuestionsAsk anything that feels in need of clarification.
  5. IntegrationWe end in gratitude to the Heart, in silence, Self-awareness, and peace.

Our aspiration is that at the end of a session you feel less identified with personal stories, and more loving, spacious, silent, happy, balanced, and inspired.

How to prepare

  • Sit in Hridaya Meditation for about fifteen minutes before the session.
  • Bring one question, or simply the wish to be met.
  • Afterwards, keep the tapas your Companion suggests, until you meet again.

Pricing and Practical Information

4 sessions€170€43 per session
8 sessions€320€40 per session
12 sessions€460€38 per session

Sessions with Companions from Mexico are booked in Mexican pesos, and sessions with Companions from Romania in Romanian lei, at the equivalent amount. A 25% reduction is available to anyone for whom the full price would be an obstacle; simply ask. Graduates of the Hridaya Teacher Training Course receive a 25% discount as well (the two cannot be combined).

  • After booking, you arrange your sessions directly with your Companion, through their calendar. Sessions are usually about a week apart.
  • You stay with the same Companion for the whole series, so that trust and depth can grow.
  • If the meeting does not find its rhythm, you are warmly welcome to continue with another Companion. This is a good outcome, not a failure.
  • If you need to move a session, simply tell your Companion. Nothing is lost and nothing is charged.
  • Companions are practitioners themselves and take part in retreats and periods of silence, so there may be times when they are not available.
  • These sessions do not replace psychotherapy, counseling, or medical support. If you are in acute distress, please seek appropriate professional help.

Questions

What prior experience do I need?

The program is open to anyone who has completed Hridaya Yoga Retreat: Module 1, or a 3- or 10-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat, as it is meant to support the deepening of the practices shared there.

Can I book sessions intensively, for example every day for a week?

We recommend spacing sessions one or even two weeks apart, so that your process can unfold gently. There is no urgency in spiritual life, only trust in divine timing.

The teacher I would like to work with is not listed. Can I ask for them?

If you feel a special connection with a teacher who is not currently a Spiritual Companion, please write to us and we will see whether they may become available.

What if I would like to continue with the same Companion?

You are welcome to book as many series as you wish. The only limit is your Companion’s availability.

Why does each Companion have a country next to their name?

It simply tells you where they usually teach, and their time zone. All sessions take place online, so you are welcome to choose any Companion you resonate with.

Which platform is used for the sessions?

Sessions take place on Google Meet. You receive the link when you schedule each meeting.

What if I need to cancel or pause?

Simply write to us, or tell your Companion. If you let us know more than 48 hours before your first session, you receive the full amount back, with nothing withheld — or we keep it as a credit for whenever the time is right for you. If something changes after you have begun, you pay only for the sessions you have had. And if life interrupts for a while, the sessions you have left will wait for you.

May this accompaniment support your remembrance of the Spiritual Heart.
