How The Heart Rewires The Brain

THINKING YOU’RE IN LOVE –

2024 – New science shows the heart is far more than a pump. This intelligent organ generates powerful electromagnetic signals that fundamentally influence brain processes like cognition and emotional experience. As cardiologist Dr. Stephen T Sinatra summarises: “The heart is truly where wisdom resides.” Can you keep a secret? Our hearts have been lying to us for centuries! For too long, we’ve been led to believe that our hearts are nothing more than biological pumps, mindlessly pushing blood through our bodies. But brace yourselves because the truth is about to blow your minds!  

For centuries, the Western world viewed the heart as simply a biological pump pushing blood through the body. However, cutting-edge research over the past few decades has shattered this long-held belief, revealing the heart to be far more than a simple pump. 

The heart is an intelligent system with a functional “brain” that continuously sends signals to the cranial brain, profoundly influencing our conscious awareness, emotions, and higher cognitive faculties. 

There are at least 40,000 neurons in the heart—as many as are found in various subcortical centres of the brain. This neural network allows the heart to function as an advance processor making decisions independently of the brain. 

Scientists at the HeartMath Institute explain, “The heart can also be considered a hormonal gland, manufacturing and secreting hormones and neurotransmitters.” These include dopamine, oxytocin, and hormone precursors in the brain-heart dialogue.
