What does Heart have to do wth Neurofeedback?

by Dr. Karen on Tue 18 Oct 2005 06:00 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I've been planning a series of posts on the importance of including the heart in our personal evolution efforts.

"The heart?", you may say, "what's that got to do with neurofeedback??" -- Stay tuned for the answer to that one!

Anyway, today I came across this quote and thought it miught whet your appetite if I shared it with you.

Mind and heart are only different aspects of us.

- Gary Zukav, The Dancing Wu Li Masters

In posts to come, I'll be expanding more on the science and practice of learning to really Listen to our Heart.

Keywords: heart, positive, growth, evolution

The heart responds to muscle movement, environmental exposure, emotions derived from the mind. The heart does not direct but rather responds

Ouch.

You're behind on your research reading, Anonymous ;-)

Try browsing these links:

The HeartMath's on-line Science of the Heart book, especially the chapter on Head-Heart Interactions

The Coherent Heart ebook

or, if you're really keen, try:

Neurocardiology for more about the independent nervous system of the brain.

Hope this helps -- thanks for commenting! ;-)

Oops. Apologies. One more thought.

My "ouch" was for your comment that the heart only responds, while the brain directs. There is a growing body of research that this is not accurate -- the outmoded "the heart is just a pump" thinking.

For more about this in particular, try:
Heart-Brain Neurodynamics

If you're really interested, this will make for fascinating reading. Do come back and let us know what you think!

Thanks again --

I certainly find this to be true. And it's an area that I'm highly intrigued by.

Hi Dawud:

You may be interested in these articles:
Electrophysiological Evidence of Intuition: Part 1

and

Electrophysiological Evidence of Intuition: Part 2

Both of them talk about how the heart seems to take the lead when we "know" something our head doesn't.

Thanks for visiting and commenting!
