The Key Role of the Heart in Energy Medicine
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The heart is much more than a pump. Energetically, it plays a central role in coordinating in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energetic fields. These include potential and quantum fields acting throughout the human Biofield and the living matrix. Healing processes in the body involve energetic and informational processes, including the spiritual nature of the heart’s activities.

This episode explores new scientific discoveries about the heart and its energetic fields. The heart’s electrical and magnetic fields interact in unique ways with different tissues and cells. Some people who have received a heart transplant describe cellular memories from the donor’s heart. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is considered to be the most important of all internal organs. Here, the heart is referred to as the ruler, emperor, or monarch, of the internal organs and it governs the mind (Shen). The episode delves into “energy cardiology,” a term coined in 1996, and views the heart as a dynamic system capable of hormonal secretions, brain signaling, and as a powerful magnetic field generator modulating complex body processes.
