You have heard the sayings, Follow Your Heart, Listen to Your Heart, Have a Heart.
Well there is some truth and research behind these popular sayings and how the heart really is the controller of our brain.
Ancient cultures have used pulse assessments to determine the emotional and physical health of the body. They believed the heart rather than the brain was the seat of emotion.
Recent research by HeartMath shows that there is communication between your heart and your brain. In addition, studies show that your heart can influence the brain waves of others who are several feet away from you! Fascinating!
The energy field of the heart can be measured up to 60 times more amplitude than the brain.
So, the heart and your emotions rule your behavior and not your mind nor how you think.
In fact, it has been shown that negative emotions can actually change the shape of your EKG or heart pattern. Wow! So, it is really important to be in an awareness of how you think and feel because it is affecting your physical well-being.
On the other hand, we find that love, care and compassion create a smoother heart pattern. There is a connection between your metaphorical heart and the physical heart.
So, pay attention to your emotions and perceptions.
When you find yourself moving to negative thinking or feelings, switch to a positive, feel good memory. Hold that memory and feel it in your heart center in the middle of your chest. Stay with that feeling, sensation for at least a minute.
This is a quick technique to bring peace and calm to your system quickly and effectively.
