What Are the Vibrations of the Heart? By Lana Ford At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The subtle energy system associated with the physical body is known as the chakra system. A chakra refers to an energy vortex which contains specific vibrations that give energy to the physical body. The vibrations from a chakra are picked up by the meridian system which has energetic links to organs and structures in the physical body.

The fourth chakra has been called the heart chakra. It is located in the center of the body. It governs the heart, thymus gland, the lungs and the pericardium. I like to think of the fourth chakra as the chalice or holder for both joy and sorrow. Those who have a well developed and open fourth chakra seem to be able to use the heart as a filtering mechanism. They “see” or “hear” or “feel” with their hearts.

Because the heart is located midway in the body it is the connecting point between the three lower chakra centers and the three higher chakra energy centers. Those who view the chakra system as a system of consciousness suggests that one must reach the vibration of the heart to appreciate the process of personal growth that gives rise to the notion of being in service to others.

Just as the brain is the only organ which thinks about itself, the heart is the only organ in the physical body that cannot protect itself. Donna Eden the author of Energetic Medicine suggests “the heart, as the unconditional lover of the body happily pumping its life-giving fluid to wherever it is needed, is truly made for love and not war. The pericardium is its body guard, like a knight guarding the queen. It is also a good personal secretary, buffering the heart from the fluctuating demands of the other organs.”

While the fourth chakra is associated with the heart in the physical body, the heart may be one of the most underrated organs in modern cultures. While Western Medical practices are impressed with the notion that the heard is a pump, most indigenous cultures believe thought originates in the heart and not the brain.

Perhaps both perspectives are right. The field of embryology or the study of fetal development suggests that the heart begins to pump at 14 weeks. Ironically, the brain is not yet formed so the central nervous system is not controlling heart beat. Some researchers have found that the heart actually contains its own neural cells, much like those found in the brain. My question is: Can it be that the energy of the heart holds a higher vibration than that of the brain?

Perhaps. If we look at the vibrations of heart waves produced on an ECG (electrocardiogram), we would notice that the electrical waves produced by the beating heart, have about fifty times the amplitude of that of a brain wave pattern found on an EEG (electroencephalogram). As a result of this greater magnitude, the heart tends to pull the brain into a process known as sympathetic resonance. Some may call this phenomena “entrainment. The conclusion may be that even though the heart is an organ in the physical body, in terms of energy and vibration, the heart may literally have a mind of its own.
