The Path of the Heartby Carlos Warter MDThe path of the heart reflects a level of healing in which we open our hearts to the cultivation of positive emotions like forgiveness, love, compassion, and understanding. Opening the heart further is a powerful tool for interpersonal and social regeneration. It leads to the essence of real self-esteem. It reduces personal, family, and job stress. It is the key to inner awareness and fulfillment. It is the route to realizing our essential health and well-being. How the Heart and Brain Work Together The heart is a life-sustaining, blood-pumping organ. It has an electrical energy that translates into a frequency forty times stronger than the electrical field of our brains. Electrically, its power stirs deep feelings of hope, love, and care. It is also the ear for listening to the source of higher intelligence. Tuning into these positive feelings and the higher intelligence available to us, always enables us to make positive choices. Accessing it through our inner voice gives a sense of inner knowing. Experiencing love, care, and compassion produces a qualitative shift in the field of heart: it makes it larger. The brain is our center of intelligence. It thinks, analyzes, and processes information and data. It works as a computer screen that reads out data from our five senses, from the heart, from the autocrine, paracrine, endocrine and immunological systems. It is truly our CPU. When the heart inputs its intuitive intelligence, the brain translates the frequencies into thoughts, symbols, words, and concepts so we can understand and act on them. Through following the directives of our hearts instead of staying tuned into old mental images, we allow our brains to perceive congruently with our open hearts. Coherent, congruent and confluent actions follow. The union of body, speech, and mind that results is true well-being, because it is in alignment with our essential identity. Our Holographic Awareness Our awareness travels more than one way. It is outside-in, and inside-out. It permeates in all directions: east, west, north, south, and also up and down. It is fluid, vibrating, and vital. It changes all the time. It is holographic. The world we perceive through the senses is an ocean of frequencies that the brain translates into the third-dimensional world, a holographic image that we call reality. As recent findings in quantum physics confirm, we are co-creating reality, not just discovering it. We are part of this open system of interconnectedness, and as such we always have the power to actively choose a different holographic picture by accessing the higher frequencies of our heart. Through devotion to the path of heart, we can change the future at any moment. The choice is ours. If we consider the terminal, the brain, to be the seat of consciousness, we tend to flatten our holographic awareness into a small screen in our heads. Then we project this imaginary screen out onto the world around us -- in effect flattening our perception. But if we acknowledge our seat of consciousness to be our hearts, our experience is totally different. We see that in truth, we are a door. Through the awareness of the heart, our consciousness is an open door, a portal, not just something that receives images through our brains or projects images on the small screen of the "objective" reality of the third dimension. Ironically, seeing our brains as the seat of consciousness only leads to clouding the clear, diamond-like quality that the brain has when receiving the heart's intelligence. Our brains are the transducers for the heart's wisdom. Unclouded by our core beliefs, the brain works in tandem with the heart, guiding us directly and straightforwardly on our path as a soul who is having a human experience. Allowing the brain to do its job efficiently is a matter of unlearning the core beliefs of the head, while at the same time tuning into the energy of the heart. This is true regeneration to the essential nature of who we are. When we are identified with the path of the heart, our brains enable us to see ourselves and others clearly, to speak with meaning, and to act from the higher frequencies of the heart, which we call core values. By awakening the energy of our hearts, we give ourselves the power to release judgments, communicate honestly, enjoy inner esteem and security, and uncover the frequency of compassion. We can surrender to the higher intelligence and power that enters through our hearts. The coherent frequencies of the heart also have healing power. By tuning in to the higher frequencies -- shifting from anger to forgiveness, for example -- we can lower our blood pressure and increase T-cell counts. As our stress subsides, these systemic and immunological changes take place. Thus, tuning into the holographic awareness of the heart can be a way to change the frequency patterns that cause illness. From there, the activation of the heart takes place and we can forgive ourselves and forgive others, magnetize our appreciation and caring, and see even death and dying as a frontier on which to move toward the light. Love is the core energy of the heart. It is also the energy of expansion, of connection. It is the vital divine current of creation and regeneration.
