Is going straight down the heart centre self inquiry?

[Mada_]

Is this the same as self inquiry?

Thoughts begin to appear when going down the heart centre, and it becomes very peaceful, it doesn't feel like 'focus work'.

Self Inquiry is not focus work. I like how Rupert Spira says you could also call it "Self-Abidance". You may have to start with focus to see where you're not seeing things clearly. But then, it's just a relaxation, a sinking back into your Self. Every focusing or doing of any kind is already getting you away from it.

And I would not say going into your heart centre is the "same" as self inquiry - although it really depends, it is too subtle to discuss here. But at least it is really helpful to get out of the ever-doing mind. To feel into the heart always "helps me" to surrender.
