Your state of being literally effects the field you give off. The heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in the body, which can be measured several feet away from the body. This field changes with emotional states and influences brain activity. Other beings can sense this magnetic field with their own heart and brain, sensing the energy that is being given off.

HeartMath studies show that people who practice heart coherence techniques (like deep breathing and gratitude exercises) have better brain function, reduced anxiety, and improved focus.

This research challenges the traditional idea that the brain is the sole center of intelligence. Instead, it suggests that the heart and brain work together as a dynamic, bidirectional system, with the heart playing a central role in emotional intelligence and intuition.

Scientific curiosity has taken a bold turn into the unseen world of healing energy. A new study published in SAGE Journals revealed that cancer cells exposed to recorded or hands-on “healing intention” displayed measurable genetic changes in laboratory conditions. Researchers observed that 37 out of 167 genes tested showed statistically significant shifts in expression, suggesting that the body’s energy, or even a recording of it, can trigger subtle biological responses.

The experiment used energy-charged cotton and electromagnetic recordings from trained healers to expose breast cancer cells in vitro. Among the changes detected, two genes linked to inflammation and metabolism, ACLY and IL-1β, were consistently downregulated across multiple tests. These results mirrored those found in direct, hands-on healing sessions, pointing to a reproducible molecular signature that warrants further exploration.

The researchers emphasized that this does not prove energy healing can treat cancer but rather that biological systems appear to respond to intentional energy fields. The idea that consciousness or intention may influence matter is not new; it has roots in ancient practices and has been studied in fields ranging from quantum physics to neuroscience.

Modern science is now beginning to measure what ancient cultures have practiced for centuries: that energy, intention, and awareness may hold more power than once believed. While much more research is needed, the findings open doors to new possibilities for understanding the connection between mind and biology.

Energy may yet prove to be one of nature’s oldest and most mysterious forms of communication between consciousness and the body.
