The Power of the Heart and Communication with Energy Fields
Gregg Braden presents the concept of the power of the human heart and its connection to the cosmic energy fields, blending ancient wisdom with modern science to help us understand how our emotions and feelings can influence our physical reality. Key points include:
Communion:
Braden explains that the human heart is not just a pump of blood, but an organ with a more powerful electromagnetic field than the brain. Understanding the language of the heart is about "communicating" (Commune) with the energy fields that bind the universe together, rather than simply "praying."
Coherence:
Creating a state of balance between the heart and brain (Heart-Brain Coherence) through feelings of appreciation and gratitude is key to accessing a state capable of creating transformation or "miracles" in life.
The Science of Constructivism:
Examples of energy healing experiments (such as tumor treatment in hospitals in China and Japan) are given, demonstrating that when healers "feel" that the desired outcome is about to occur, the body responds and changes accordingly.
Global Connection
Braden discusses research from the Institute of HeartMath on the existence of an invisible energy field that connects all things, and the Global Coherence Initiative, which focuses on human collaboration to create balance for world peace.
Practice
Braden suggests placing your hand on your chest to draw attention to your heart, taking deep breaths, and cultivating genuine gratitude—a method used by Tibetan monks to communicate with the cosmic energy.
The practice of gratitude and appreciation is crucial, as Gregg Braden explains, for the following reasons:
Creating Heart-Brain Coherence
Science has found that gratitude and appreciation create a stable and balanced heart rhythm (0.10 Hertz), leading to a complete connection between the heart and brain.
Communicating with Energy Fields
The human heart has an electromagnetic field 5,000 times stronger than the brain. When we cultivate gratitude in our hearts, we are sending "commands" or information to the energy field (The Divine Matrix) that connects all things in the universe, which is key to attracting or creating change in life.
Creating New Results
Feeling grateful as if your desires (such as healing or peace) have already come true is about "creating the feeling," a language the universe understands, instead of making requests based on needs that often highlight lack.
This affects body chemistry.
These feelings help shift the body's chemical balance to promote life-giving chemistry, reduce stress, and have long-term positive effects on heart health.
Braden suggests that practicing placing your hands on your chest and focusing on your heart with gratitude is a powerful practice used in ancient traditions to help us live in harmony with our nature and full human potential.
The Scientific and Energy Differences Between Heart and Brain Power:
Electric Field:
The human heart has an electrical field that is 100 times more intense and powerful than the brain.
Magnetic Field:
The heart has a measurable magnetic field that is 5,000 times stronger than the brain. This field forms a ring, or torus, that extends 5-8 feet from the body.
Why is the heart more important in achieving results?
Braden states that, given such a powerful energy field, "feeling" through the heart is a simpler and more effective tool than relying solely on thoughts from the brain.
Communicating with the energy field (The Divine Matrix) that connects the universe uses the language of the heart (gratitude and appreciation) instead of verbal communication or logical reasoning.
The heart is not merely an organ that pumps blood, but a center capable of transmitting information to the cosmic energy field to create change in the physical world through heart-brain coherence.
