The New Era of Heart Coherence

The heart has the strongest electromagnetic frequency in the human body—much stronger than the brain—with each heart beat creating a field that changes with our emotional state. Buddhists talk a lot about bodhichitta or the heart-mind, the awakened mind in the heart. This awakened mind is a much different state than our ordinary, stressed out lives of fear-based thinking and distorted beliefs. It’s more about connecting and being and taking action in an aligned, regulated way. As we are living through a time of further social disruption, this awakening of heart intelligence is a powerful antidote to our collective angst. I feel in my own nervous system a widening and deepening of coherence within our humanity that we do not see on our screens and in our news. This coherence is a way of being that is rising like a phoenix from the collective fire. We are in a time where everything is heating up and changing—interpersonal relationships, conflicts between nations, and the earth itself. This is the fire that burns away an old world, the heat that ushers in change. Some take the view that we are on the precipice of our destruction, that the stakes are that high. And we very well might be. Some view that these are cycles of geology and humanity and that nature and the social order will trend toward equilibrium. And they very well might. Heart coherence and nervous system regulation is powerful medicine in a world out of balance because the electromagnetic field it emanates has an exponential effect, a kind of positive contagion. This transition to a heart centered way of being is the next state of our collective evolution..it’s the polarity and the balance to our growing technologies. Our magnetic heart field is the most human thing about us—we are born connected to this field, and in fact is the only way a baby can survive and thrive. There’s a practice in Buddhism where you meditate that everyone you meet is your child, and everyone you meet is your mother. Although this can seem weird, what this practice is trying to do is awaken in us the heart field for all of humanity. A powerful medicine indeed.
