Heart Field: An electromagnetic field produced through the heart that can be detected sever al feet from the individual. Many believe that conscious awareness originates in the brain alone. Recent scientific research suggests that consciousness actually emerges from the brain and body acting togethe...

Throughout history and across diverse cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions, the heart has been associated with spiritual influx, wisdom, and emotional experience, particularly with regard to other-centered, positive emotions such as love, care, compassion, and gratitude. Current research pr...

Objectives This study aims to contribute to a scientific understanding of intuition, a process by which information normally outside the range of conscious awareness is perceived by the psychophysiological systems. The first objective, presented in two empirical papers (Part 1 and Part 2), was...

Learn about the heart brain. The author, pioneer neurocardiologist/researcher Dr. J. Andrew Armour details the anatomy and physiology of the cardiac nervous system in this 19-page technical monograph. Groundbreaking research in the field of neurocardiology has established that the heart is a sensory...

Cell biologist Dr. Glen Rein had conceived of the idea that DNA would make a good target for testing healers’ ability to affect biological systems, since well established quantitative measures of DNA’s conformational state existed and it potentially offered a more stable and reliable system than cel...

Deciphering the relationships between emotional states and physiological processes is critical to broadening our understanding of consciousness. The purpose of this study was to explore the neurophysiological correlates of specific states of consciousness associated with the experience of sustained...

This fascinating monograph, The Energetic Heart explains the bioelectromagnetic interactions within and between people. Did you know that when you’re not consciously communicating with others, our physiological systems are interacting in subtle and surprising ways? Or that the electromagnetic...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stress management training on quality of life, functional capacity, and heart rate variability in elderly patients with New York Heart Association class I-III congestive heart failure (CHF). While substantial research exists on stress managemen...

The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, provides a reliable measure of autonomic nervous system dynamics that is particularly sensitive to changes in psychophysiological state. Whereas common methods of HRV analysis typically quantify the amount of variability in a given reco...
