Our Hearts Go Out

This morning’s quiet contemplation seems to have been all about opening the heart and letting love out into the world to go where it is needed most. When we think of those we love, that wonderful feeling we get is the energy from our heart flowing outward to them. It’s potent. It radiates. We can think of those who need our forgiveness and extend that heart energy out to them. We do it through prayer.

The holidays bring us together with loved ones who may carry grudges and unresolved pain. We may have tried everything in the book to help and now it frustrates us to see the same thing continue with no visible improvement. When we whittle down our issues to their root base, most stem from the universal desire to love and feel loved. God is Love. Darkness stems from the idea that something or someone has become separated from God in some way. Insecurities and triggers have caused behaviors that have moved us away from the love that is our center. If we can summon our compassion, we can radiate it out with the intention of healing the situation.

Neville Goddard, in his book The Art of Believing, describes how we can affect healing for someone else by going deeply into the subjective mind, the imagination, as if one was in a hypnotic state. In this state one would believe as if the person, our subject, had already done what we were wishing for them and the healing had already happened. In this successful prayer state, we believe so intently that we mentally speak to that person and congratulate them as we see them in their healed state, affirming the miracle has occurred. “Bold assertion by you, while you are in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Self-confidence on your part and the thorough belief in the truth of your mental assertion are all that is needed to produce results. Visualize the subject and imagine that you hear his voice. This establishes contact with his subjective mind. Then imagine that he is telling you what you want to hear. If you want to send him words of health and wealth, then imagine that he is telling you ‘I have never felt better and I have never had more,’ and mentally tell him of your joy in witnessing his good fortune. Imagine that you see and hear his joy.”

“What things soever you desire, when ye pray, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them”
Mark 11:24

Scientific investigators, Glen Rein, Rollin McCraty and Mike Atkinson and Dana Tomasino spent two decades looking into how and why prayer works (see their published papers below.) They used highly calibrated medical and laboratory equipment to measure heart rhythms and brainwaves so they could determine if one’s intentions and emotions had any effect on others. The heart was center because it produces the strongest electromagnetic field in the body. The heart actually acts as an oscillator, producing coherent and incoherent signals that register on an ECG, and ring throughout the entire body. Thus, the entire heart field is felt by every cell, tissue and organ. Their conclusions were such that the heart radiated coherent frequencies when feeling love, care and appreciation and when the subject felt emotions such as anger, frustration and worry, the heart radiated incoherence. Over time, positive changes in EEG as well as ECG improved when subjects practiced emotional self management. One of the most surprising effects was that individuals generating focused feelings of deep love were able to cause a change in the conformation of DNA, either their own or that of another, with effects observed over long distances. They discovered that a combination of heart-centered energy (love) and mind-centered energy (focused mental attention) produced the greatest results. They wrote, “Human intentionality produces effects which defy conventional laws of electromagnetism with respect to their independence of space and time. The long distance effects observed here support these observations and indicate that coherent heart energy may be a carrier for such non local effects.”

Their findings indicated that: Heart Energy + Imagery + Intent = Results

Love itself is a resonance. The frequency of love oscillates, like entrained tuning forks, creating positive effects of harmonization on people, animals, minerals, plants, etc. It builds a bridge of energy between people and is an essential ingredient in healing. By opening up our hearts, we intensify the overall frequencies further into the positive. With the creative force of Goddard’s imagination and faith, we can be empowered with the tools of focused control of our subconscious, the love in our hearts and our beliefs. We all knew about the power of prayer, but now we have even more reason to rest in the strength of our faith, which in turn gives us hope.

Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.
