Heart-Brain Coherence, Emotional Intelligence & The Vibrational Spectrum of Love with Dr. Rollin McCraty
Our special guest for today’s New Year episode is Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., innovator, psychophysiologist and director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center. One of Rollin's primary areas of focus is the physiology of emotion, investigating the mechanisms by which emotions influence cognitive processes, behavior and health. Hear his transformative journey from a communications engineer to a trailblazer in consciousness studies. He shares transformative early experiences with Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath, which ignited a profound heart awakening and reshaped his life's mission. Rollin reveals how the heart's electromagnetic field communicates emotional states between individuals and can synchronize heart rhythms. We discuss why it’s important for people to consider their “emotional diet", as he guides us through the intricate connections between the heart and brain, shedding light on the heart's crucial role in intuition and decision-making. We unpack the science behind how emotions like love and appreciation can shift physiological states and why heart-brain coherence is key to emotional balance. We also discuss the groundbreaking work of Mae-Wan Ho, Ph.D., on the multidimensional quantum coherence of living systems. Learn about the brain of the heart, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), and how HeartMath techniques can enhance intuition and increase synchronicity. Rollin explains the implications of these phenomena for energy healing practices and global, collective coherency. Furthermore, he provides practical steps for self transformation from mindfulness to the awareness of what he calls “the vibrational spectrum of love”. Whether you're intrigued by the science of heart coherence or its broader implications regarding human interconnectedness, this episode offers a compelling look at the heart's profound role in our existence and the science behind it.
Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., is director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, and a psychophysiologist. He has been with HeartMath Institute since its founding by Doc Childre in 1991. Rollin’s critical research on heart rate variability and heart-rhythm coherence has gained international attention in the scientific community and is helping to change long-held perceptions about the heart’s role in health, behavior, performance and quality of life.
