One person’s brain waves can actually synchronize to another person’s heart

http://mindreality.com/one-persons-brain-w...lly-synchronize

Let’s say I exude the energy of positive emotions such as joy, serenity and enthusiasm in the presence of my friend. She will pick up my emotional vibes and shortly after, her own emotional and mental states will be entrained with mine. The word “entrain”, means to pull along after itself.

When a tuning fork is struck, it will vibrate at a certain frequency and emit a certain sound. When a second tuning fork is held near the first, it will start to vibrate along with at the same frequency as well and emit the same sound. This a simple and observable demonstration of how energy and vibration influence the universe.

Our emotions are energy and since different emotions are simply different vibrations of energy, emotions can entrain each other. That’s how our emotions influence each other, and how your feelings are changed from moment to moment by people or the environment.

Did you know that the electromagnetic signal produced by your heart is registered in the brain waves of people around you?

“Most people think of social communication solely in terms of overt signals expressed through language, voice qualities, gestures, facial expressions, and body movements. However, there is now evidence that a subtle yet influential electromagnetic or “energetic” communication system operates just below our conscious awareness. Energetic interactions likely contribute to the “magnetic” attractions or repulsions that occur between individuals, and also affect social exchanges and relationships. Moreover, it appears that the heart’s field plays an important role in communicating physiological, psychological, and social information between individuals.”

Experiments conducted at the Institute of HeartMath have found remarkable evidence that the heart’s electromagnetic field can transmit information between people. We have been able to measure an exchange of heart energy between individuals up to five feet apart. We have also found that one person’s brain waves can actually synchronize to another person’s heart. Furthermore, when an individual is generating a coherent heart rhythm, synchronization between that person’s brain waves and another person’s heartbeat is more likely to occur.

A series of studies in Texas have shown that one person’s brain waves begin to synchronize with another person’s during ESP, but the person with the most ‘ordered’ brain patterns will influence the other and nudge it to a greater degree of order. This provides an good explanation for the success of remote spiritual healing. Other exhaustive studies at Princeton have shown that the human mind can also influence REG machines, built to perform a random electronic toss of the coin, so that we can ‘will’ the machine to produce more heads, say, than tails. The studies also showed that this effect got larger, if two people were trying to influence the machines together, but the biggest effect of all was with a bonded couple.

When I feel happy, excited and carefree with my friend, her feelings will resonate along with mine and then she will start emitting the same emotions as I am as well. Now we will both feel more positive than before. This is why the energy you give out is energy that returns to you multiplied.

As I was reading that article I was thinking about why the positive emotions would influence the negative rather than the other way round. Then I got to that bit...makes sense to me:)

Thanks, Jace

This is great and makes a lot of sense. I wonder if they are measuring healthy heart-to-heart cords?

That is really fascinating. When I was visiting a friend of mind in the hospital a couple weeks ago, his "other minister" came to visit. She and I are very different, and half the time I don't know what she's talking about, but she's very loving. As we sat each holding one of Don's hands as he struggled for each breath, she laid her hand on his heart and said, "I'm just willing his heart to slow down and regulate." I thought she was cracked at the time, but there seems to be some merit to the idea.

I don't know about the cording Aloha, because when I used to work as a Greeter for Meijer in my very early 20's, I would put on the best positive attitude I could. I would try to capture each person as they walked in the door, look them in the eye, and show how happy I was to have them there. It wasn't just about doing a job and doing it well. It was about trying to touch each person, I could actually feel a positive difference within myself, when I did my job. I didn't know the people coming into the store, so I'm sure I wasn't casting a cord. I'm thinking of this as more of a direct change. Could be only temporary but it works.

I remember one Suday morning, I was standing at the main entrance, and people were coming in to do their shopping after church. I caught an elderly womens eye. I smiled at her walked over to her and went about doing my job. Making sure she had everything she needed to get her shopping eperience started out in a pleasant way. She said to me "You've got the good Lord, running through your soul, don't you? You are beaming with light!" I was taken aback by this, because I was not a very religious person, but have read a few books about positive attitudes and how to change my own attitude. It was at that moment that I realized, that I was also changing other peoples emotions when they came in the store. It didn't work for everyone that came in, but it did work for quite a few.

I received a lot of compliments about my work and got a promotion. The new job was just the opposite. The new job required me to analyze people in a negative way (or so I thought at that time) It tore me up and after 6 months I had to quit. It was to depressing and negative.

There definately is power in "willing" or intention. Think of it as prayer. When someone is sick we Pray that they get better. There is evidence that proves, that people who are sick, that are prayed for, have a better chance of survival. Your friend sounds awesome!!

OK. I see where you are going with this. Great example by the way!

I can relate to this working with the public , you really can turn a persons bad day around. Good positive vibes viabrate at a higher level also. Hummmmmmmmmm think of it as freezing water or the differance between heat and cold.

Which freezes faster? Hot or cold water? Hot water, why? Because the heat moluclues in the hot water moves faster. If you have something thats remote control (IE:your car door) and it's 30 degrees out, you might not be able to operate your remote untill your more close to your car then if it's 80 degrees out. Why? Because waves and frequencies travel faster in the warmer weather because warm molucles move faster then cold ones. Cold ones are more sluggish as are negitive vibes, they are slower and they viabrate at a lower level.

Basic physical science, it rocked.

Very interesting topic. Amazing how our energy influences others...
And after reading that I can think of many examples in my own life too

so does that explain a little bit of how an empath would be able to feel what others are feeling even when it's not obvious on the outside?

I wonder if this would work on the lottery machines
Ok, I'm being silly today..

Seriously though, I think you have to feel what you want others to feel, you have to be sensitive and tuned in to what you are feeling. It's like feeling empathic/sympathetic towards what you see or feel someone else needs. If someone's sad, you want them happy, so you have to feel this happiness to be able to send it to them as a wave of energy.

Thanks for sharing this Jace

lol sugarme!

I used to think that happy people lifted sad people out of their sadness. Over time, after many disappointments and failed efforts at lifting the spirits of some hardcore sad sacks I realized that the person most determined in their state would bring the other into it. Sadness is a pretty determined state.

This phenomena is the result of will.



Did you know that the brain does not create thought? It only receives it, like a radio station receives radio waves. Thoughts are energy that vibrate all around us. Emotion sets up our energy vibration, and thoughts vibrating at our frequency are allowed access into our brain. These thoughts travel down our spine through our nervous system. We feel them before we ever think them. It's that flutter of recognition under your rib cage that a new idea has been received!

In order to be receptive to the same thoughts as your friend or client, you must will yourself to synchronize with them. We actually lower and raise our vibrational frequency just by wanting to!



You attract your feelings to yourself like a magnet. Your energy seems to come back because you attract your own reflection. If you are happy and focused on that happiness, you can also attract people in the opposite state, because polarities exist on this plane. You notice the stark difference and see people in terms of happy or sad while you are so focused on happiness, for example. Once you take your focus off of your feelings and just be, you cease to notice how happy or sad people are. Suddenly, people are just being, like you.



I worked as a cashier at Meijer, Jace. I know what you mean about affecting someone just by emitting energy at will. I was always consciously aware that I could make or break someone's day with my attitude. I was committed to promoting good cheer, because it's the kind of customer service I appreciate the most. You don't even know how many people are moved by your presence. Two years after I left the job at Meijer, I walked into the bakery section after midnight and one of the staff ran out to greet me. She shouted out a gleeful, "Hello!" I didn't recognize her, but we had a pleasant chat. I met so many people there on all shifts. She explained that she used to look for me every night, because "You always had a smile on your face. It made me feel so good, even when I had the worst day." I didn't even know her, yet she looked forward to seeing me. We all matter that much to each other.



I can relate to this, too. Just recently, in fact. We have support teams for employee morale at work now. One team is responsible for motivating the staff and getting them involved with each other. The captain of that team sent us all an email asking us to play a game. Our mission was to submit in writing our WORST phone call this week with a quarter. The winner will win all the quarters. And, she added, "We are expecting 100% participation."

I know you know why I procrastinated. It was all internal, though. I just didn't want to participate in that particular game. I didn't even want to ponder why. Yesterday, my supervisor met with me for a one-on-one evaluation. After discussing my productivity and quality, she asked if I had any questions or concerns for her. Nope. I my job. I enjoy the environment and my colleagues. My lead is now very mindful of her attitude and I like her more every day. She said, "You are the only person on this team that I have met with this week who is NOT stressed out to the max. How do you do it?" That's when it hit me: FOCUS. The idea of the game came to mind and I told J about it.

"The problem with choosing the WORST phone call is that I have to relive every one, especially the one that caused me the most tension or frustration, either because the caller was emotional and required TLC or the issue was out of my hands, which makes me feel helpless. The way I avoid stress is to handle the call and then let it go. I don't remember whether it was bad or good, just that I serviced the member and moved on."

Whatever you focus your attention on expands. To focus on what bothered you is to create more stressful moments. Not a good idea, unless you are addicted to stress.



You can make a difference. I like the poster a colleage had posted on the outside of their cubicle at the bank. It said, "Everyone brings joy to this office, some when they arrive and some when they leave." Which one do you want to be?



Very cool!



Willing yourself to vibrate at the same frequency, even when you don't realize that's what you are doing. It happens whenever you desire to understand someone. It happens when you want their approval. It happens to us unconsciously when we desire to connect with another human being. We can just as quickly disconnect by focusing on differences or willing ourselves to stop getting sucked in, such as in the case of unhealthy attachments like addict and co-dependent relationships.

DESIRE is the key.

As always, Lora, I reading your posts. I don't want you to think that this is the only part I paid attention to, because I did 'get' what you were saying, but you left me wondering and I have to ask... How did your supervisor react after you told her about how you deal with the calls and how you felt about the "worst caller game"?

This is noticeable too with long term couples.
You often find they have similar chronic illnesses and are on the same medications

Thank you, AuntMama. I enjoy your posts, too. There are so many exciting conversations going on in different forums that I missed out on. I need to catch up on my reading and add my two cents.



She’s a smart lady. She listened intently, and I could see a spark of recognition in her eyes. “Well, that’s true,” She said, “We don’t want to increase stress in the department.” She said she might have a talk with the captain of the other team. I have a hunch she’d be very diplomatic, if she brings it up at all.

Today the winner was chosen. I never received an email on the results. Either I was excluded for not participating, they extended the deadline for the game, or they aborted the game altogether.



They even follow each other to the other side, like Johnnie and June Cash.

Lora, I hope that you've influneced the supervisor to not play that game again since it is such a focus on the negative. Maybe they'll change it to the Best Call/caller or even the Funniest or most Interesting.

Our supervisor never knew about the game until I brought it up. The team responsible is the team who is supposed to be in charge of lifting morale, believe it or not. Ignorance is not bliss, is it? Most people believe that venting helps alleviate stress, but that's only true if a new, happier perspective can be gained by sharing.

Let me give you an idea of the mindset of some of my colleagues....

The week before we started on the phones after training we met at our new location for a seminar. It came to our attention that some of the new hires who started a month after us were chosen to become leaders instead. My colleagues were outraged that none of us were considered for this promotion. It didn't bother me in the least. In fact, I know that there had to be more to the story, since we have a union. I also know that we create our own opportunities. There is a time and place for everyone's dream to come true. I tried to interject my thoughts and offer some peace of mind, but I was shot down twice. Once by a man that was shaking when he spewed about the annual salary increase being significant and how they have children to feed. He thought I just didn't get the justification for his grievance. Then I met the wrath of a pre-med student who kept her pregnancy a secret until after we had our 90 days in the company. I pointed out to her why it was good that she didn't get the promotion just now; this is her time for family. She is unable to give 100% to the company and doesn't even intend to stay employed there. She wants to be a doctor. Even though she agreed with me, she still wanted to see this as discrimination. People never stop to think that timing is on their side, even what appears to be injustice.

The group of colleagues that were complaining to each other---working themselves up into a frenzy over the thought that we were excluded from consideration---had planned to go to lunch together. I was going to join them. That is, until the heated discussion began. There was no way I was going to enjoy lunch listening to them vent about the so-called injustice. Instead, I joined the group whose colleagues got the promotion, and what I learned during lunch was that the women who were promoted were the ones who originally interviewed for a leadership position and was told they were filled. This was their second shot at the position, which is totally fair.

After lunch, back in the office, the topic came up again and I ask them, "Did you apply for a supervisor position in the beginning?" None of them had. Yet, they were so quick to jump to the worst possible conclusion and spread feelings of discrimination.

Like Dr. Wayne Dyer, I've left the tribe. I don't subscribe to those thoughts anymore. I feel them round me, but they're fleeting. I acknowledge that they exist and I let them go. I know better.

Lora, very good for you!

My ex used to get really mad when I would try to see all sides of a problem that he was fuming about. Instead of seeing it as productive, he thought that I wasn't supporting him, but the thing is... I didn't leave his side of things out, just tried to see all sides.

I know what you mean, AuntMama. When people vent, they want someone to say they understand their feelings. We do. We've all been there. The problem is when the venting turns to fuming, like you pointed out. If you let them keep ranting, you are only helping them stay stuck in that angry state, which assures that more aggrevating situations are coming in the future. You become the enabler. If this drama is recurring, eventually you become the target of their hostility. No one wins in this situation.

It's our social instinct that leads us to cooperate and even enable people, inadvertently, just because we want to be accepted. I used to stay quiet and listen, but that only attracted people who wanted to rant. I found that interjecting a new perspective is either received with gratitude or turns people off. Either way, it's a win-win situation. If they want a friend in misery, there are plenty of willing participants out there they can seek out. I'm not interested.
