Deep within is our pure being that has incarnated into this body. This being is ultra sensitive and is picking up subtle impressions from the environment through the heart centre of pure feeling even before we come out of mothers womb. This being has its centre in the cardiac area of the body and the more closed it is the weaker and more vulnerable a person or child becomes to illness and disease.

There are many things to eventually understand about this mysterious organ we call the heart. Many things beyond the physical manifestations of that pump organ that beats 110,000 times a day that puts out a strong electromagnetic field. HeartHealth is a book primarily about human emotions, feelings and the vulnerability of our beings.

The heart represents our basic capacity to feel.

Books like Emotional Intelligence highlight the intelligence of our feelings. Since the avoidance of emotional suffering (feelings) is the basis of most mental illness, we can say that anything that directly increases a person’s capacity to feel and face difficult feelings and emotions will increase metal health. This is the essence of HeartHealth.

Dramatic changes in heart rhythm, frequency, and health patterns occur when we can shift between negative attacking heart kinds of feelings like anger and hate to those of peace, love, understanding and appreciation. Negative emotions make the heartbeat look very ragged on an electrocardiograph, love and peace transform the physical heart into a much smoother beating pump, and its electromagnetic patterns are much more coherent, healthy and harmonious.

I wrote HeartHealth twelve years ago to help people understand the hearts deep and mysterious ways. Mother Theresa said many years ago that "loneliness and isolation in the West" was the most significant “disease” she had encountered during her lifetime. The fact that modern men cannot perceive this invisible illness, this tragedy of being is a catastrophe. This book Soft Medicine and HeartHealth offer ways to treat disease with love, empathy and compassion. They open medicine up to a softer way of approaching patients while offering insight to everyone about the importance of rediscovering the heart centre, the home of our true beings.

The healthy human heart needs warmth, is warmth and can
give warmth to others. The deeper we dive into the heart
and open to its super intelligent ways the more balanced,
coherent, and healthy our bodies, minds, and emotions become.

I was taught 30 years ago that if we as a race did not learn to love we would not survive and now the harsh lessons are coming because we hardly think of love any more so unloving has the world become. This past week I have been working on two essays, two horrific nightmare stories, previsions of the future, and yes we are not even beginning to see what our lack of love is bringing down on our collective heads.
