In this episode host Robin Masiewicz and Cafe regular Gloria have a lively discussion about evidence that the heart is part of a person’s overall consciousness, and has in effect its own brain. The heart has always been associated with feeling, consciousness, and awareness but scientists are finding that the heart is an information processing center that can learn, remember, and act independently of our cranial brain. It also helps regulate our perceptions and emotions. This study of the “thinking heart” is called neurocardiology.
We’re featuring Howard Martin’s TEDxSantaCruz talk about the science of the intelligence of the heart in which he explains how it works and demonstrates it in real time with a volunteer from the audience.
For more information about this fascinating topic, watch the videos below. We’ve also provided links to Martin’s book The HeartMath Solution: The Institute of HeartMath’s Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart’s Intelligence, and The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing by Mimi Guarneri, M.D.
The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing available on Amazon.com.
