Experiments at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies
Research laboratory reveal human-machine interactions
suggestive of a mind-over-matter, or psychokinetic (PK),
influence. Subjects people who attempt to mentally control
the machinery have less success, however, than those who
make a heartfelt connection with the machinery as if it were
a living being, and dialogue with it, asking it for the
favor of its compliance. This finding is one of the ways
that Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., in his book, The Heart's Code:
Tapping the Wisdom and Power of our Heart Energy
(Broadway Books) shares an important new perspective on the
intelligent awareness of the heart.
We are familiar with the imaginative powers of the
"right brain" versus the pedestrian thought
patterns of the "left brain." Pearsall introduces
us to the even more revolutionary contrast between the
lonely, separatist consciousness of the brain versus the
spiritual, humanitarian oneness awareness of the heart. He
likens the heart to the sun and the brain to the earth. We
once thought that the sun revolved around the earth, but the
Copernican revolution reversed that view. A similar
revolution is taking place concerning the relative
importance of brain and heart.
It was Arizona University's Gary E. Schwartz, M.D. who
pioneered the field of "energy cardiology." He
found that while brain waves (EEG) are weak and localized
around the head, heart waves (EKG) are the body's strongest
electromagnetic signal. Whereas it has been previously
thought that the brain controlled the heart, through the
autonomic nervous system, Schwartz's work led to the
discovery that through the circulatory system, which is more
pervasive than the nervous system, the heart has even
greater control over the brain than vice-versa. Researchers
at the Heart-Math Institute like to point out, for example,
that it is difficult to quiet the mind when the brain seems
to keep pumping out thoughts. However, if you focus an
attitude of gratitude through the heart, the brain quiets
down. Try it and you'll see. The heart can control the brain
when the brain can't control itself.
A finding of energy cardiology is that cells store
info-energy as cellular memory. The heart regulates the use
of the energy in these memories. Heart transplant
recipients, for example, often have memories and personality
tendencies belonging to their heart donors.
Pearsall suggests that energy cardiology provides a new
basis for the mind-body connection. The heart may provide
the link between subtle energy and physical effects. For
example, as already mentioned, PK effects are greater when
there is a heart connection. Similarly, when spiritual
healing is approached as a mechanical exercise, the effect
is not as strong as when there is a heart connection between
healer and patient. Research at the Heart-Math Institute
shows that the EKGs of the two parties involved become in
synchrony, and the patient begins to resonate with the
healer's info-energy. A similar effect had been shown in the
past with brain waves, but now it appears that the
underlying cause of the brain wave synchronization is the
resonance of the heart connection.
Another tenet of energy cardiology is the spiritual
dimension. The heart is associated with love and our
connections with others. While the brain is satisfied being
a hermit, the heart is a herd animal and profits from being
able to resonate with other hearts. Pearsall makes a case
that for a healthy heart it is more important who you eat
with than what you eat. He even suggests that the heart may
be the seat of telepathy, because heart waves have a
non-local (aka "psychic") omnipresent existence perceptible
by hearts everywhere, making "heart connections" a
psychic reality.
My own research combining spiritual development work with
psychic training has born out this conjecture. In our
"Intuitive Heart" training, we find that when
people make heart connections with one another, there is an
intuitive, empathic understanding between the two. This
intuitive empathy can be easily demonstrated via a simple
form of giving a "psychic reading." One form of
psychic reading involves heartfelt cellular memories
described by Pearsall. Cayce suggested that the best advice
we can give another is to speak from our own experience. In
an Intuitive Heart reading, one person holds a question or
concern secretly in the heart. The other person, acting as
the helper, makes a heart connection with the seeker, and
prays that a personal memory will come forward into the
helper's mind that will prove helpful to the seeker. The
helper then tells this memory, and explores the lesson
suggested by this experience. People usually find that the
memory and its lesson prove to be very relevant for the
seeker. Pearsall would say that the seeker's question
created info-energy that stimulated a counter-balancing
memory dormant within the cells of the helper.
Great minds may think alike, but as Pearsall's book shows
and personal experience will verify, when hearts are joined,
love releases an even greater intelligent awareness.
