heart and mind coherence

Amazingly, the most significant vibration of the human body is the one produced by the heart. Many people do not realize that the largest electromagnetic field in the human body is found within the heart. The electrical field as measured in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is about sixty times greater in amplitude than the brain waves recorded in an elec

This state of internal and external connectedness is considered a coherent state of being.

“When I was trying to go through the med school process, it was all very me-centered, and coming from a place of fear. I had to break out of that mode, open my heart, and reflect on how much of a difference I could make to my future patients. This allowed me to transform my fear into compassion.”

The magnetic component of the heart’s field, which is around five thousand times stronger than that produced by the brain, is not impeded by tissues and can be measured from several feet away from the body. Not only that, but the electrical field also changes along with our emotions, so depending on how we are feeling, we are literally emitting a d

When we are in rest-and-digest, we feel calm and composed, we are open to connection with others and with our environment, and we have access to the higher-level functions of the neocortex, including abstract planning, creativity, and logical reasoning.

Our self-compassion can be contagious, as with the electromagnetic field of the heart in a state of coherence.
