Feel and continue to imagine that light expanding into your lungs and filling your whole chest.īegin to breathe deeply, taking your time, and continuing to focus on the heart center and filling it with light. Focus your energy on your heart chakra and imagine a small light starting to surround the heart organ. Sit in a quiet place with your spine erect and your hands resting comfortably in your lap or over your heart. If you want to create an open-hearted, full-breath, heart-brain connection and coherence, you can do it by your own conscious action. Some researchers even believe that this is the “vibe” that we pick up from other sentient creatures to detect if their hearts are open and loving, or contracted and traumatized. It is very low vibration, below the threshold of 20 Hertz, typically the lowest frequency that humans can detect with the unaided ear. The frequency for this optimal state is approximately 0.10 Hertz. When the heart, brain, and breath are all synced, coherence is optimal. A completely different set of hormonal signals is set off via neurochemicals and neurotransmitters that helps us feel calm and confident. Research from the HeartMath Institute and other bodies have indicated that when we create rejuvenating emotions (and breathe accordingly) we send signals to the brain which harmonize our entire bodies. This results in feelings of euphoria, bliss, love, trust, and hope as opposed to fear and withdrawal, and profoundly directs our subsequent actions. You can see how intimately the heart and lungs are created, but this then also sends feedback signals to the brain. ![]() When the heart is on “lock-down” because of a perceived hurt or betrayal, the breath also contracts. ![]() When the heart is not contracting we breathe deeply and fully. This translates from the Sanskrit to mean “unstruck note” or “unplayed chord.” This is how the heart should operate when it is completely open and holds no trauma. In yogic traditions, the heart is called the Anahata chakra. Be learning how to center into our hearts and breathe deeply, we can teach ourselves how to stay connected to a center of compassion and openness. Our emotions are reflected then in our breath.įeedback signals between the heart and brain create a level of coherence that can calm and center us, or add to a feeling of fear, chaos, and instability. Specifically, our hearts communicate to our entire nervous system to tell us how to feel. Our heart and brain are constantly sending signals back and forth to one another to help communicate information about our environment and how to respond to it. The heart is one organ that we normally relegate to simple, but important tasks like pumping blood to our organs and cells, but it has additional wisdom to offer. Our brains are pretty amazing, but the rest of our bodies have incredible intelligence as well. ![]()
