New science is confirming that our hearts are neurological centers of intuition, creativity, and biochemical healing, in addition to being muscular pumps. So it seems that the poets did know a thing or two about the human heart.
Learning to activate the wisdom of your heart can assist your pursuit of healing and happiness like no other influence … natural or medical.
Here’s a brief list of heart science highlights:
- The heart is approximately 70% neurological tissue … more nerve than muscle.
- The heart has a brain … that’s 50 times stronger electrically … and 5,000 times stronger magnetically than the brain in your head.
- Heart intelligence can positively influence your gene expression.
- Your heart can ‘know’ intuitively in ways unavailable to your rational mind.
- Activating heart intelligence increases cognitive performance.
- Gratitude, love, and appreciation enhance the effects of heart intelligence.
You might be wondering, if this is such a significant medical breakthrough, why aren’t we hearing about it on the evening news? I think it’s because the science is about our power, not the power of a pill, or a new healing gadget.
Not only is this science about our innate healing powers, but it’s about the healing power of the heart. For almost 400 years, ever since Rene Descartes wrote, “I think, therefore I am”, the heart has taken a back seat to the rational mind.
I suspect that this new heart science is coming just in time. It’s practical application supports us in being more balanced human beings … biochemically, cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually.
