©2003 Linda Marks
During the past twenty years that I have practiced heart-centered, body-centered spiritual psychotherapy I have found myself often being asked, the infamous question, "What do you DO?" My questioners have often been men with technical backgrounds, for whom the word "heart" has a one dimensional, linear connotation. As I would answer, telling them that I work with the heart, I would often be greeted with "The heart is a mechanical pump. It goes pump, pump. There is no emotional and spiritual life to the heart. That is all metaphor."
I knew in my gut that there was more to the heart than just the mechanical pump. I could feel the electromagnetic energy emanated by a client's body as I worked with them. I could tell how open or defended someone's heart was, sitting across from them and engaging in dialogue. I could sense the change in the quality of their energy as a client's emotional safety increased. When I would place my hands, with permission, on their heart or another part of the body, to facilitate their emotional work, I felt that an energetic encyclopedia was at my fingertips. Likewise, the quality of my intention and presence seemed to flow from my heart to my client's heart.
For many years I did not have the scientific data or language to show people that what I knew and could do clinically was indeed scientifically grounded. I found a common language with my friend and colleague, Linda Russek, whose research in the early 1990's showed that the EKG of one person's heart could be measured in the EEG of another person's brain1. In other words, one's emotional energy registered in the brainwaves of another.
Another colleague, cardiologist Bruno Cortese, would talk about how heart transplant recipients would often experience a literal change of heart. Not only would their health condition be remedied after a heart transplant, but also their personality would incorporate aspects of the personality of the person whose heart they had received. A person who never had a taste for ice cream or motorcycles, would find themselves craving ice cream and motorcycles. They would then discover that ice cream and motorcycles were passions of the person whose heart they had received.
THE POWERFUL ROLE OF THE HEART
The heart is the first organ to form in the body. It is the organizing factor for physical formation, including for brain formation. The heart contains extensive brain-like neural matter and has recently been classified as a gland because it produces its own hormone. In addition to our cerebral brain, we indeed have a "heart brain." The heart not only puts out its own balancing and regulating hormones, but also instantaneously communicates electromagnetic and chemical information to the rest of the body and to other bodies near it.2
In her article "Spirit and Matter of the Heart, "3 Dorothy Mandel writes, "The heart can act as an internal pharmacy-dispensing and communicating what is needed where and when. Its rhythm and pulse can entrain all of the body's rhythms and cycles into coherent harmony and communicate many other types of vital information as well." Each person's EKP pattern is as unique as their fingerprint. The wave variations in each "heartprint" contain information about the different organ systems and rhythms in the body. When two people touch, the heartwave of one can be seen registering in the brainwave of the other.
HEART FACTS
Research by the Institute for HeartMath in California4 has shown that the heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body:
o The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain.
o The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain
o The electromagnetic energy of the heart not only envelops every cell of the human body, but also extends out in all directions in the space around us
o Our cardiac field touches those within 8 - 10 feet of where we are positioned (and perhaps in more subtle ways at greater distances)
o One person's heart signal can effect another's brainwaves, and heart-brain synchronization can occur between two people when they interact
o Research conducted at the Institute of HeartMath suggests that the heart's field is an important carrier of information
