QThat the heart has a brain is a metaphor, ¿no?
No. It has been discovered that the heart contains an independent and well -developed nervous system with more than 40.000 neurons and a complex and dense network of neurotransmitters, Proteins and support cells.

¿It is intelligent?
Thanks to those elaborate circuits, It seems that the heart can make decisions and go to action regardless of the brain; And what can you learn, Remember and even perceive. There are four types of connections that start from the heart and go to the head brain.

First…
Neurological communication through the transmission of nerve impulses. The heart sends more information to the brain from which he receives, It is the only organ of the body with that property, and can inhibit or activate certain parts of the brain according to circumstances.

¿Means that the heart can influence our way of thinking?
Can influence our perception of reality and therefore in our reactions.

Second connection…
Biochemical information through hormones and neurotransmitters. It is the heart that produces the ANF hormone, the one that ensures the general body balance: the homeostasis. One of its effects is to inhibit the production of stress hormone and produce and release oxytocin, The one known as love hormone.

Third…
Biophysical communication through pressure waves. It seems that through the heart rate and its variations the heart sends messages to the brain and the rest of the body.

Quarter…
Energy communication: The electromagnetic field of the heart is the most powerful of all organs in the body, 5.000 times more intense than the brain. And it has been observed that it changes depending on the emotional state. When we are afraid, frustration or stress becomes chaotic.

¿And it is ordered with positive emotions?
Yeah. And we know that the magnetic field of the heart extends around the body between two and four meters, that is to say, that all those around us receive the energy information contained in our hearts.

¿What conclusions are these discoveries?
The heart brain circuit is the first to treat the information that then passes through the head brain. ¿ This new circuit will not be one more step in human evolution?

¿…?
There are two kinds of heart rate variation: One is harmonious, of wide and regular waves, and take that form when the person has positive emotions and thoughts, high and generous. The other is messy, With incoherent waves.

¿Appears with negative emotions?
Yeah, With fear, anger or distrust. But there is more: brain waves are synchronized with these variations in heart rate; that is to say, that the heart drags to the head. The conclusion is that the love of the heart is not an emotion, It is a state of intelligent consciousness.

…
Ya and, The brain of the active heart in the head of the head higher new perception centers that interpret reality without relying on past experiences. This new circuit does not go through the old memories, Your knowledge is immediate, instant, And for that, has an exact perception of reality.

It seems science fiction.
It is demonstrated that when the human being uses the brain of the heart creates a state of biological coherence, Everything is harmonized and works correctly, It is a superior intelligence that is activated through positive emotions.

Well it seems that nobody uses it…
It is an univoted potential, But it begins to be accessible to a large number of people.

¿And how can I activate that circuit?
Cultivating the qualities of the heart: The opening towards others, Listening, patience, Cooperation, The acceptance of differences, The courage…

¿Santos las 24 hours?
It is the practice of positive thoughts and emotions. In essence, free oneself from the spirit of separation and the three primary mechanisms: Fear, The desire and the desire for domain, mechanisms that are deeply anchored in the human being because they have served to survive millions of years.

¿And how we get rid of them?
Taking the witness position, observing our thoughts and emotions without judging them, And choosing the emotions that can make us feel good. We must learn to trust intuition and recognize that the true origin of our emotional reactions is not in what happens abroad, but inside us.

Of.
Cultivate silence, contact nature, Long live periods of solitude, meditate, contemplate, take care of your vibratory environment, Work in group, Long live with simplicity. And ask your heart when you don't know what to do.

 

Science and conscience

After studying mathematics and piano and organ career he was a teacher at the sorbonne. Then he settled in India and participated in the creation of the Auroville community with Sri Aurobindo and Krishnamurti. And shortly after, the Institute for the Development of the Person. She is the author of The Power to Choose, The freedom of being and the master of the heart (Firefly). He has been investigating the intersection between science and consciousness for many years and his approaches are always rigorous and documented.
