Scientific Research Shows Heart More Intelligent Than Brain?

I posted this in the personal development section and wanted to share it here as its interesting.

You'll learn how your heart actually thinks and that you're heart produces and electrical field around you're body. Maybe thats the aura people claim to see?

And some people say the heart is the direct connection to the source. Not sure if its proven, but can make sense to me...

"The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain. This field, measured in the form of an electrocardiogram (ECG), can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body. Furthermore, the magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain, and can be detected a number of feet away from the body, in all directions, using SQUID-based magnetometers"

I swear this is not a conspiracy

Research: Science of the Heart


Head-Heart Interactions

Traditionally, the study of communication pathways between the "head" and heart has been approached from a rather one-sided perspective, with scientists focusing primarily on the heart's responses to the brain's commands. However, we have now learned that communication between the heart and brain is actually a dynamic, ongoing, two-way dialogue, with each organ continuously influencing the other's function. Research has shown that the heart communicates to the brain in four major ways: neurologically (through the transmission of nerve impulses), biochemically (via hormones and neurotransmitters), biophysically (through pressure waves) and energetically (through electromagnetic field interactions). Communication along all these conduits significantly affects the brain's activity. Moreover, our research shows that messages the heart sends the brain can also affect performance.

The heart communicates with the brain and body in four ways:
  • Neurological communication (nervous system)
  • Biophysical communication (pulse wave)
  • Biochemical communication (hormones)
  • Energetic communication (electromagnetic fields)

The studies described in this section probe several of these communication pathways, looking specifically at how the brain responds to patterns generated by the heart during positive emotional states. The first two studies focus primarily on neurological interactions, demonstrating that the afferent signals the heart sends the brain during positive emotions can alter brain activity in several ways. In the first study, we find that cardiac coherence can drive entrainment between very low frequency brainwaves and heart rhythms, thus further expanding our understanding of the physiological entrainment mode described in the previous section. In the second study, we learn that coherent heart rhythms also lead to increased heart-brain synchronization. The implications of these findings are explored in the third study, which shows that in states of high heart rhythm coherence, individuals demonstrate significant improvements in cognitive performance.

Taken together, the results of these studies demonstrate that intentionally altering one's emotional state through heart focus modifies afferent neurological input from the heart to the brain. The data suggest that as people experience sincere positive feeling states, in which the heart's rhythms become more coherent, the changed information flow from the heart to the brain may act to modify cortical function and influence performance. These findings may also help explain the significant shifts in perception, increased mental clarity and heightened intuitive awareness many individuals have reported when practicing the HeartMath techniques.

The final two studies in this section are concerned with energetic communication by the heart, which we also refer to as cardioelectromagnetic communication. The heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body, producing the largest rhythmic electromagnetic field of any of the body's organs. The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain. This field, measured in the form of an electrocardiogram (ECG), can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body. Furthermore, the magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain, and can be detected a number of feet away from the body, in all directions, using SQUID-based magnetometers (Figure 12). Prompted by our findings that the cardiac field is modulated by different emotional states (described in the previous section), we performed several studies to investigate the possibility that the electromagnetic field generated by the heart may transmit information that can be received by others.

    Yeh. This is profound for me.

    I am always beating myself up for 'thinking' with my emotions instead of my brain, which to me meant not thinking or necessarily being logical about something - just feeling. (chemistry=both mental and emotional)

    So now I don't need to worry about that.

    Thank you I feel liberated.

    It also supports my contention that a person could have 5 PhDs and be clueless at the same time if they are not also sensitive.

    My theory is that if you were truly intelligent and not just trained, you would necessarily also have to be sensitive.

    So yeh this theory is really relevant to me.

    Thanks for sharing.

      Just doing my job

      I know this information made a lot of connections for me. Some other stuff may not be proven- but when you put it all together it makes complete sense. And its not always about being logical- you need to ask yourself,"does it feel right"?

      I think its said 60% of the heart is made up neurons or whatever the brain cells are. So those feelings you have, they are intelligent feelings.

      And the fact that feelings and emotions come into play like this only strengthens the fact of psychic abilities and intuition. Especially if the heart is the direct connection to the source.

      Some people don't believe people have psychic abilities only because they have yet to witness it. My best friend has abilities like that and has saved us from destruction a few times, lol...
