In honour of Valentine's Day...

Ever heard that your heart has an electromagnetic field? That it can be detected and measured several feet away form the body?

Wait, just think about this for a sec. I'm not talking about things that just affect you in our own little bubble now. You're putting things out there for other people to experience. We transmit information outside our body to those around us. What kind of signal is happy, sad, angry, relaxed, open…different that's what! And, those different signals you're putting out have an effect on those around you. People and animals will respond differently based on what you are putting out, i.e. what they are receiving. Think about the person sitting next to you. What is your heart making them feel? What is your heart telling them? Ever consider that?

Our brain and heart talk. The heart has a huge system of neurons. The heart sends meaningful messages to the brain. Take another sec and think about this…I always had the understanding that the brain told the heart what to do, not the other way around. It told our heart to beat, beat faster, beat slower, do this or do that. But, that's not not the whole story anymore. Do you realise what this entails? The heart acts as though it has its own mind.

The heart has a lot to say when it comes to our perceptions, feelings and behaviours. It influences the way we perceive the world. It is a powerful, rhythmic generator, the most powerful of the body actually. It produces meaningful electricity; signals for others to perceive.

So, take a millisecond to consider what you are offering up to other people. What is your electricity saying?

Some amazing fast facts -

The heart's electrical field is 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain.

The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain.
