What is Heart Intelligence?
As a field of scientific exploration, heart intelligence has recently been the subject of numerous books written by some of the most prestigious doctors and researchers in the traditional medical community. The undiscovered country of the heart's amazing properties and influence over other bodily systems, while new to science, is old hat in the arena of mystical traditions, making this field of research a powerful medium of connection between science and spirituality.

Heart intelligence is a phrase used to describe numerous attributes of the electrical and magnetic energy waves radiating from the heart which influence functions and systems, including the brain. When the waves of these energy fields are "coherent", that is when they can pass through each other and 'nest' (like Russian dolls, one inside the other) nondestructively, specific beneficial results occur within the mind and body. Some of those results include: reduction and neutralization of the stress chemicals adrenaline and cortisol, the immune system increases efficiency, the aging process slows, the reasoning mind is opened to a broader base of information as the old brain which operates on survival and defensive strategies, looses it's control over the reasoning mind, a sense of well being occurs, the body's natural healing proces is enhanced.

Heart intelligence is also referred to as emotional intelligence because these key frequency signatures (think of them like radio stations) are triggered by specific emotions. Joy, wonder, compassion, gratitude and appreciation, when translated into harmonics (like music) by the heart are responsible for this powerful system wide shift.

Loving kindness then, is more than the golden rule of spiritual teachings, it is also the biological frequency that restores balance, reduces stress and gives us access to reconcillation in both physical and emotional terms.

Some of the most amazing information about the effects of emotional (heart) intelligence can be found in LOVE AND SURVIVAL, by Dr. Dean Ornish, heart specialist and pioneer in the reversal of heart disease, MOLECULES OF EMOTION by Dr. Candace Pert, famous researcher who first discovered receptor sites not only in the brain but throughout the body, and THE HEART'S CODE by Dr. Paul Pearsall, a renowned psychoneuroimmunologist who specializes in working with transplant patients. In the field of heart intelligence and its applications for education and the reduction of ADD in children, see TEACHING CHILDREN TO LOVE, by Doc Lew Childre.

Heart Facts of Life

• The electrical field of the heart is 40-60 times stronger that the electrical field of the brain.

• The magnetic field of the heart is 2-5,000 times stronger than the magnetic filed of the brain.

• Within the heart is a separate "little brain" and nervous system connecting the heart directly to the neocortex.

• The immune system, hormonal balance and aging process are all directed by a peptide call ANF, an emotion bearing information molecule produced in the upper chambers of the heart with each contraction.

• The heart is autogenic – it does not require a signal from the brain to beat.

• The heart pumps 2 gallons of blood per minute through 60 thousand miles – that's approximately 2.5 times the circumference of the earth.

• With every change of emotional states, the bioelectric fields of the heart change thus creating a cascade of changes throughout the body.
