The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field
The heart generates the strongest electromagnetic field in the human body—about 60 times greater in amplitude than brainwaves electrically, and up to 5,000 times stronger magnetically.(Source: Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., HeartMath Institute).
This field:
Research shows the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart (McCraty et al., 2009), and these signals directly affect perception, emotional processing, and cognition.
- Pulses rhythmically with your emotional state
- Can be measured several feet away from the body with a magnetometer
- Changes depending on your inner emotional landscape (e.g., stress vs. gratitudeAffects others around you—creating a “field environment” that either feels safe or chaotic

Heart Coherence and Brain-Body Harmony
Tuning Into the Earth – The Schumann Resonance Connection
The Schumann Resonance is the Earth’s natural electromagnetic frequency—primarily at 7.83 Hz, which closely mirrors theta-alpha brainwave states seen in deep meditation, flow, and creativity.
Studies have explored:
- Correlations between solar activity, Schumann frequencies, and human emotional states (Persinger, 1987; Pobachenko et al., 2006)
- Possible synchronization between heart rate variability and Earth’s electromagnetic rhythms
- Reports of heightened intuitive capacity and calm when meditating during geomagnetic stability
Being in heart coherence may enhance your receptivity to Earth’s field, creating a feedback loop between personal energy and planetary resonance.
Animals, babies, and highly sensitive individuals often pick up on emotional and energetic cues before we speak. This is likely due in part to the electromagnetic “broadcast” of the heart.

Research with horses (McCraty, 2004) showed that:
- Their heart rhythms synchronize with nearby humans
- The human’s emotional state influences the horse’s behavior and calmness
- This also applies to dogs, cats, and even group dynamics in humans
When you’re in a state of heart coherence, your energy becomes more ordered, safer, and resonant—others naturally feel this and may respond with more openness, trust, or emotional attunement.
Living in Coherence
Anchoring into heart coherence isn’t about becoming “emotionless” or avoiding challenge. It’s about choosing to respond with presence, emotional balance, and a grounded sense of connection to all life.
When your heart, brain, and nervous system are aligned, you become a clear channel—for inspiration, intuition, healing, and true connection. In a world that often lives from the head up, living from the heart is a quiet revolution.
