I want to out myself to you about a meditation attempt. For a moment, I was imagining the energies of two specific women, one on either side of me, with my Higher Self directly across the way. My intention, at first, was to open up to messages, but I kept turning to distractions so varied, I'm surprised I don't have whiplash. That was until finally, we reduced the session to just the Higher Self and the human. Suddenly, there was an image of a little girl in a dress kneeling or sitting inside a white chalk circle. I knew that so long as she stayed inside that circle she was safe.
Well. I quickly placed the reference (A Little Princess, a lovely movie based on a beautiful book, both from my childhood) and asked, "Does that refer to the circle of white light*? Or the electromagnetic heart field?" and the response was, "Heart field".
Note: I swear, I wouldn't talk this much (and publicly) about spiritual stuff if it wasn't the hugely beneficial, scientific truth of who/what we are. If you're lookin' around on my blog, then you're on a journey of your own, choosing to go down specific internet rabbit holes to learn more about wellness. We're a good fit! I'm happy to have this blog serve as a stepping stone for both of us.
After all, the heart is intelligent and more of a multitasker than what some authority figures used to say. I understand why a claim was made that the heart was simply a blood-pump, though in fact, it reacts to your stress levels and contributes to the "fight or flight" response when it gets the impression that it's necessary, and the heart's impact on one's emotions is, as you may already know, not just figurative but literal, assisting you in regulating said emotions, which then impacts mood, focus, and chemical balances within the body, including depression and anxiety, as well as epigenetics, the science of what causes genes to turn in certain ways. I've also heard and read in the past, from sources I do not currently recall (sorry), about the heart contributing to the strengthening of the body's resilience, strengthening the immune system and helping to delay and slow aging.
The heart's electromagnetic field is "due to the coordinated depolarization of myocytes producing a current flow", according to an abstract on PubMed by. They went on to say that "The therapeutic potential for interaction of this cardioelectromagnetic
field both within and outside the body is largely unexplored", their hypothesis being that, "recognition of these cardiac properties may result in significant implications for new therapies for cardiovascular disease".
In an article on psychologytoday.com, Jessica Morales wrote, "When the parasympathetic and the sympathetic system are out of sync from emotions such as anger, anxiety, or frustration, this produces an erratic rhythm or incoherent state. The brain receives this input which affects whether higher cognitive functions can be accessed to self-regulate."
It also sends messages to the brain. Dr. Deb Kern encouraged us to care about brain-heart coherence for the sake of "your ability to rise above" a stressful situation.
"The science shows," she said, "that when you bring yourself into coherence, you are emitting an energetic field that will in fact impact other people, so if you want to see more peace in the world, this is one way...The most potent thought to insert into your mind to bring your heart into coherence, is a thought of appreciation."
The HeartMath Institute says, in chapter 6 of Science of the Heart, "Evidence now supports the perspective that a subtle yet influential electromagnetic or "energetic" communication system operates just below our conscious level of awareness", adding, "When people are engaged in deep conversation, they begin to fall into a subtle dance, synchronizing their movements and postures, vocal pitch, speaking rates and length of pauses between responses,[214] and, as we are now discovering, important aspects of their physiology also can become linked and synchronized".
If you haven't already, please look into brain-heart coherence, which the institute has been looking into for well over a decade, with great results.
On another note, because this miraculous organ, has a wide, measurable energetic output affecting vibrations in your external world, I'm wondering how that output comes across to animals. The idea came to me because I've been able to use Reiki and an energetic "biohacking" technique I learned from a Shaman Durek video, and please note that I have been getting results. I see improvements in the confidence of rescue cats I volunteer with, and I get photos from a friend of mine after I perform the biohacking on her Jack Russell terrier miles away from me. The terrier, Amy, takes it upon her furry self to have significant anxiety because her dog mom has it. Just days ago, my friend said that the dog spent hours following her mom too closely while consistently vibrating with nerves. I performed the biohacking energy work to the best of my ability and, a short while later, received a photo of Amy conked out on the couch. Below is the video from the shaman, in case you're interested. It's so effective, I use it fairly often for my own well-being.
The relaxed, more content responses I've witnessed from animals after that meditation and researching for this post has gotten me thinking - how does the electromagnetic field created by the human heart affect cats and dogs? Do they get any information from the field upon meeting new people that helps them to recognize their biggest fans, their alphas, protectors and, of course, the completely disinterested? Migratory birds, mice and dogs all recognize magnetic fields on the earth, so why wouldn't they have some response to the electromagnetic fields produced by our hearts and brains, even if their responses were not excitingly dramatic...though hopefully their responses to those fields are measurable. I would like to read about it.
In conclusion, I'd like to share that I found a piece on thriveglobal.com to be interesting because its author, , went into historical information about teachings from multiple ancient cultures about the brain and heart. Something intriguing they added was the following: There are many exceptional cases of patients who survive with only their heart (and a machine) to be alive. Some retained their memories, and others had gone to rigorous therapy. Having been medically dead (braindead) and at the same time still having sensory awareness still baffles the medical community in general.
I'll keep researching, considering, discerning and meditating on information and I hope you do, too.
