Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Regardless of whether you are married, partnered, dating or single, I hope you celebrate this beautiful holiday knowing that the power of love is ALWAYS around you! Valentine's Day commemorates the many ways you express love to those in life – your partner, spouse, children, family members, friends, or even with your pets. The emphasis of Valentine’s Day traditionally commemorates the romantic, familial and personal relationships in our lives, not to mention the commercial aspect of the holiday. However, you might be surprised to learn that current medical research now believes that experiencing feelings of love and compassion can actually be powerful healing emotions for the mind and body! Curious to learn how you can heal through the power of love?
So you probably already are aware of the "mind-body" connection, but did you know that scientific and medical research is beginning to advance the existence of a "mind-heart" link? Latest discoveries from both science and integrative medicine are indicating that the human heart is more than just an organ that pumps blood into your body. The big surprise to traditional medicine is that the human heart actually emits an electro-magnetic (EM) field of energy around your body. According to studies from the Institute of Heart Math, this cardiac field of energy is stronger than the one produced by your brain. Imagine that...your heart IS actually more powerful than your brain! This medical breakthrough now makes it possible to understand how different emotions we feel actually produce different frequencies within the body. The most amazing news is that our body’s different emotional frequencies might possibly affect your physical health. Preliminary findings now indicate that emotions of love, joy, and compassion produce stronger and more coherent fields around the human body than do the emotional frequencies of sadness, fear, and anger. Pretty amazing stuff! I guess the old adage “Love is the Cure” is right, after all.
You can learn more about these incredible findings in the two links below by ABC News and the Institute of Heart Math. Each delves into the pioneering science behind the powerful healing potential you manifest with your heart and by the power of love! Feel free also to check out more articles by Dr. Jay Kumar on the science and spirituality of love in the special Valentine's Day "Love" newsletter.
Even though Valentine’s Day occurs once a year, why just let this day be the one when you celebrate love. LET EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY MOMENT of your life become an ecstatic and conscious celebration of LOVE, not only to others but also to yourself. As you honor the sacred and beautiful being that you are, may your love and light shine forth fully and brightly, and always remember that the world would be a much dimmer place without you here!
