Intellect isn’t enough when it dominates, and interferes with, heart-based intelligence.
Heart-based intelligence has been most thoroughly studied at the HeartMath Institute (HeartMath.org). Their research shows that through a combination of attention placed on the heart and breathing awareness, we can learn to enhance our physical, mental, and emotional health dramatically.
The HeartMath research reveals that heart-based intelligence not only positively affects the individual, but has a positive influence on others, through the influence of electromagnetic fields that are produced by the heart.
In the balanced neurological state that’s a reflection of heart-based intelligence, we’re more meaningfully connected to ourselves, to other human beings, and to our environment. This direct experience of inter-connectedness naturally encourages more caring and thoughtful interactions.
Hopefully, for our collective well-being, this new science will provide our intellects with more than enough logical information to convince us that there’s no time like the present to nurture an alliance with our hearts.
