PDF Did you know that the human heart creates an electromagnetic field greater than that generated by the human brain, in fact 5,000 times greater? According to research by the Institute of Heartmath, this field can extend up to 8 feet outwards from our bodies.
Traditionally, philosophers and poets have referred to the heart as the seat of our emotions, a location in the body where we feel great pain or great joy. In everyday language we refer to the heart using any number of expressions for example, ’speak from the heart’, ‘wear your heart on your sleeve’, ‘be open-hearted’. Robert Louis Stevenson has been quoted as saying “Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.”
As we learn more about the human body and the electromagnetic fields that it generates, I believe we will be able to make conscious use of our heart energy to balance ourselves and influence others positively. When giving an EMF Balancing Technique® session, practitioners are taught to radiate a number of energetic postures to assist the client in clearing and balancing their heart center, and radiating the energy of love more fully. This creates peaceful feelings and relaxation for the client, and often emotional clearings and recalibrations. In essence, the client will leave the session feeling differently than when they came in!
So how to increase a connection with the energy of love within the frame of a Personal Energy Practice? One way to sense the energy of love is to think about a loved one, a child, or a favorite pet and notice how the heart area feels, both at the front of the body and at the back, in fact, 360 degrees all around the heart area. We have an innate sense of how our heart ‘opens’ or ‘contracts’. When we have a sense of the heart opening, this is how our particular frequency of heart energy is radiated outwards.
The heart itself can also be a great source of wisdom. Henry Reed Ph. D., in his book The Intuitive Heart, describes an energy practice whereby we can connect more deeply with our own ‘inner guide’ or intuition through heart-based exercises. One of his key discoveries whilst putting this book together, based on 20 years of research through workshops, reading and practice is that “…love and caring are a natural source of intuition. Intuition is most effective when it comes from caring, from a sincere wish to make a heart connection, either with your own inner self or with another.” Henry contends that it is the heart also which contains the key to our intuition. It seems that Benjamin Franklin may have also made this discovery during his lifetime, he is quoted as saying “The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart.”
So as an extra tool in everyday life, consider becoming conscious of your heart area, and feel, sense, imagine or think about connecting your heart area to another person if you are in a position where you are being asked to give advice or support them in some way.
You can imagine a line connecting your hearts, visualise a figure-eight loop joining your hearts, sense a connection if you are a very body-based person, or say to yourself “I give intent to open my heart safely in order to assist this person”. Notice what comes up for you in the form of memories, feelings and words, and if you can share safely and appropriately with the other person, then do so.
Many people use Chakra Balancing meditations (energy center mediations) to help balance their heart areas as well as the other energy centers in the body. Personal Energy Practice for the heart area benefits yourself as well as others. Remember your heart energy and find ways to tune into it, especially in stressful situations. Often the answer has been in your heart all along!
