The social relations they are so important for our species that each body has an organ and a mechanism to connect with others, creating and sustaining ties of belonging.
It is about the heartand its condition and heart rate not only determine the well-being of the organism. Two or more hearts can be synchronized without breathing having any influence on it. How is it possible?
Bodies interact
Science shows how There are bodily functions that are harmonized between different individuals.
For example, the breathingthe brain waves and cycles like menstruation feminine can become synchronized between two or more people.
Occurs the same with the state of nervous system: we easily detect If someone is «out» of tuneif he is agitated.
This tuning is a vital necessity of our species. For example, to calm a baby you need a calm adult to interact with the child. And the same thing happens in adulthood.
All our vital areas They are influenced by synchronization with other bodies. That is why it is so important what state we are in, for example, when we want to talk about important topics with our partneror when we wait our turn in a job interview. Maybe that’s why the American guru Ram Dass stated: «I can’t do anything more for you than work on myself… You can’t do anything more for me than work on yourself!!».
The mysteries of the heart
He engine that pumps blood Our body is a unique organ: it has its own nervous system. In 1991, Dr. J. Andrew Armor defined it as a «little brain», which is a closed circuit consisting of 40,000 neurons.
That means that The heart has its own ways of processing, learn and remember, including your emotions, beyond the brain.
He heart can in addition make your own «decisions» from the internal information that comes from the brain, combined with the external information that the body captures through the electrical field of the heart.
How many times do we talk about «hunches»or do we say that we have to decide «against our hearts»?
He Dr. Rollin McCraty, In a study published in 2004, he found that «The electric field measured in an electroencephalogram (ECG) is approximately 60 times greater in amplitude than the brain waves recorded in an electrocardiogram (EEG). The magnetic component of the heart’s field, which is about 100 times stronger than that produced by the brain, is not hindered by tissues and can be measured several feet away from the body.«
Synchronization and coherence
A International Cardiological Research Institutehe Hearth Math Institutereminds us that the cardiac coherence is our state of greater well-being.
It is an experience of flow on a biological level: it occurs when the different systems of the body—the breathingthe heart ratehe brain rhythm and the hormonal responses– are synchronized. It’s a biophysical process that influences our emotional, mental and spiritual balance.
It has been proven that heart rate synchronizes naturally between partnersas well as between people who sleep together, or in mother-baby relationships.
But beyond this phenomenon, the neuroscientist Dr. Nazareth Castellanos points out: «It is not known why some people’s heart dynamics align when they interact together. This does not mean that the hearts beat at the same time, but rather that their electric fields correlate in a significant way.«
Lucas Parra and his research colleagues City College of New York They demonstrated in 2021 that the mindfulness plays an extremely important role in synchronize the electric field of the hearts.
This phenomenon occurred at share the same story without the participants being in the same place, just paying attention to the story. Then the fields of hearts were harmonized.
the same tuningalthough to a lesser extent, occurred when listening a certain piece of music.
Maybe the electrical fields of hearts synchronize fed by the mindfulness and shared experiences. Therefore, we have the ability to harmonize with our loved ones.
