The wondrous Heart!!!

Why our hearts matter is because they play such a big role in leading an extraordinary life!!!

Our heart rhythms affect the brain’s ability to process information with over 40,000 sensory neurons involved in relaying ascending information to the brain!

The human heart’s magnetic filed can be measured several feet away from the body.

Negative emotions can create nervous system chaos, but positive emotions do the opposite.

Positive emotions can increase the brain’s ability to make good decisions.

You can boost your immune system by focusing on positive emotions.

Positive emotions create physiological benefits in your body.

In fetal development, the heart forms and starts beating before the brain begins to develop .

A mother’s brainwaves can synchronize to her baby’s heartbeats even when they are a few feet apart.

The heart has it’s own brain! It like the brain itself, has an intricate network of neurons, neurotransmitters , proteins and support cells.  It can  act independently of the cranial brain and has extensive sensory capacities.   (here is a story for you…I had a client who had a heart/lung transplant.  What he shared with me is that he found himself eating things he had never eaten, thinking thoughts of unknown origin, experiencing feelings he had not done.  There is a book out “the Heart’s Code” that explains all of this)

The heart sends signals to the brain that can influence our perceptions, emotional experience and higher mental processes.

The heart has a system of neurons that have both short and long term memory, and the signals they send to the brain can affect our emotional experiences.

The heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the body.

Coherent heart rhythms help the brain in creativity and innovative problem-solving.

Your heart, and mine, emit an electromagnetic field that changes according to your emotions.  Others can pick up the quality of your emotions through the electromagnetic energy radiating from your heart.  Think of a time you walked into a room and knew something happened?  That is your heart picking this up, sending it to your brain, then down to your body for that “felt” sense.

So, go be in your heart!  Learn how to access your heart’s intelligence.   I know that this practice I help others learn has truly changed my life.  I am happier, healthier and more aware of the impact I have on Life.
