Activating Spiritual Consciousness: Group Consciousness Rising

Description

It’s well known that our ability to feel love and intimacy keeps us healthy and that heart-felt relationships are an important part of our general health and well-being. Our folklore and fables have connected our hearts to love and compassion for centuries, but it hasn’t been until recently that we’ve discovered the science to explain why this is more than just a metaphor in a fairytale.

In the past we believed that our perceptions and emotions were entirely dictated by our brains’ response to external stimuli, but we now know that our hearts are responsible for receiving and transmitting many of our emotional messages to and from our cognitive thoughts. Studies of cardiovascular patients who suffered from depression, were found to be more likely to have further cardiovascular complications, than those who had a more positive outlook on life. This was so apparent, that it’s now accepted knowledge that depression has a closer link to adverse cardiovascular events than high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure or diabetes.

Recent studies have found that the heart contains a very complex intrinsic nervous system aside from the nerves that keep it beating in rhythm in order to pump our blood. This specialized nervous system contains around 40,000 nerve cells called sensory neurites. It’s been found that these neurites are responsible for producing a powerful electromagnetic field much greater than that of our brain. With the use of a magnetometer, the heart’s energy field can be measured several feet away from the body. Recordings of this field show that when a person experiences different emotions, their heart’s electromagnetic field will actually produce distinct changes in pattern.

Our emotions are the key to controlling the pattern of the heart’s electromagnetic field and it’s important to understand how this energy affects both our internal body and our external projection to others. Internally, when we feel appreciation, love and gratitude, our hearts produce a smooth sine wave pattern that positively affects our digestive system, our respiratory rhythms, and our mental clarity, just to mention a few. Externally we are able to project a calmness and an authentic empathy for others. This harmonious activity of our heart, both internally and externally is known as coherence.

When we are in coherence, our heart also produces a hormone that is very important for love and bonding, called oxytocin. Oxytocin is often known as the love hormone because it enables us to form long-term relationships. It’s also very effective in counter-acting stress and fear, as well as reducing cravings associated with drugs, alcohol and sugar.

As an individual, when you are in coherence, filled with love and gratitude, you can bring others into this place. Our nervous system acts like an antenna that’s tuned to respond to the magnetic fields produced by the hearts of other people. We have the opportunity to enhance our awareness and have a much deeper level of non-verbal communication and connection between others.

During this meditation Andrew will take you to a place where you feel a connection with your heart and through this feeling of connectedness project feelings outward to the benefit of yourself and all others.
