Howard Martin: The Purpose of Your Heart
Biochemical Communication
In 1983 the heart was reclassified as part of our hormonal system. They found that it created a number of hormones. It produces for example a hormone called atrial peptide. One of its jobs is to reduce the release of a stress hormone called cortisol. It’s also found that the heart is the largest producer of a very important hormone called oxytocin. This is the third way, and these three ways are well documented, well understood and well researched. The fourth way is where the adventure is – the energetic heart.
The Energetic Heart
The heart is an electrical organ. When we visit a physician and we get an electric cardiogram taken (think about what that word says: electrocardiogram – ECG), the doctor is measuring an electrical signal produced by the beating heart.
The heart is the strongest source of bioelectricity in our bodies by far. It produces enough electrical energy to create a 360 degree electromagnetic field that surrounds each and every person on this planet. That field extends beyond the skin and goes out into space. It extends about 3-4 feet outside the body. It get more interesting though…
Not only do we produce an electromagnetic field, that field also changes all the time. The frequencies and the field are in constant change. The main influencers of those changes are our emotions. As we change in emotional state, we change what’s being broadcasted through the heart’s electromagnetic field. If we are experiencing emotions like resentment, or anger, or frustration, or irritation, it produces what is called an incoherent spectra – a very chaotic electromagnetic field. Emotions we talked earlier about, like having more compassion for others, or care, or appreciation for the good things in our life or love, those kind of emotions change the field. It produces a more coherent spectra.
In a sense, we’re literally broadcasting our emotions through the electromagnetic field of the heart. I believe that there are many other fields being produced by the heart. When we begin to look at the fields through the lens of quantum physics the rules change a lot. We remove for instance, a lot of the boundaries of time and space. Now we have to look at the heart’s field in a very different way.
