HeartMath Institute studies show hearts have an electromagnetic field that extends about 8 to 10 feet (2.5 to 3 meters). Researchers are working to decode the information it sends both inside and outside the body.

A Coherent State

The heart’s field is coherent when it’s in harmony with the brain and nervous system. It’s a physically measurable state linked to positive emotions and can be analyzed using heart rate variability (HRV).

The Collective Heartbeat

Heart fields overlap and share information as well as emotion. Collective frequencies create social norms and impact entire populations. Our nervous systems can sync with each other in close relationships.

Sensing Your Heart Signal

Noticing shifts in your heart’s field helps you recognize when you’re out of alignment with yourself or others. Meditation and body awareness calm your nervous system and put your vibration in a state of harmony.

Conclusion

Our heart fields overlap and impact each other with emotional contagion. They can also co-regulate and harmonize with each other. Monitor your mood, meditate, and breathe to keep your mind and body in sync.
