Understanding Meditation
Definition of Meditation - what it is and what it is not
Heart Meditation - listening to the heart
The leading edge research now is called neurocardiology which has determined that 60-65% of the cells in the heart are the same as the neural cells in the brain and that the heart "thinks" or is communicating with the body. It is being clearly established that the heart is the central controller for the endocrine system - and the endocrine system is the array antenna of energy centers (glands) or chakras as they were called in the past.
Heart is not just a pump but one of the critical vortexes of our electromagnetic field
We are always given images of the heart as a pump without knowing that the central muscle from the "bottom of the heart" is a perfect vortex center of our electromagnetic field. The heart is the only geometrically correct location in the body for the blood to change directions as it is the primary vortex of the body.
Our vocabulary will often remind us of this when we say - I mean this from the bottom of my heart, or I feel some thing from the bottom of my heart. Don't confuse the word heart with what we think of as emotion. This field is affected by your emotions and known as your aura as well. We are referring to the Creative power of the Universe (by whatever name you have conceived to call it) which sparked what you know as YOU into existence.
Pineal gland - or third eye
The second important vortex is also a Golden Mean Spiral - the pineal gland, which gets its name from the Pine Cone because of its spiral shape. It is a very tiny spiral gland in the center of the brain. It is directly behind the ethmoid sinus, between the eyes in the center of the forehead so is often referred to as the Third Eye. The posterior wall of the ethmoid sinus is coated with magnatite, which is recharged when it is around healhty magnetic field such as sand.rocks or water. Electrosmog from our human activities and the grid diminish and scatter the charge in our electromagnetic field. Although in the past it was thought that the Pituitary gland controlled the endocrin glands, neurocardiology is now establishing that the ductless glands act as an array antenna for the heart. We can and do block this with our conscious mind and/or the unhealthy environment of some of the trappings of civilization.
Breath is the pump
When we focus on breathing, we can raise or lower the electromagnetic energy field being expressed through our bodies. As we breath, we broadcast out this energy from the heart to expand the overall field to become evenly charged and balanced. Strengthen the heart mind connection and the body will respond with improved health and well being. Health is the default.
A change of heart changes everything!
