Q: How does the practice of cardio-energetics support the concept of the heart formulated in the Tanya?

ABSTRACT

Through the theory and observation of cardio-energetics, and through the technology of heart transplantation, we witness the emergence of a new way of looking at the heart and its energy. This new view is based on quantum perspectives of energy and the multiple levels through which the heart can be perceived and experienced. In effect, the study of cardio-energetics provides us with new and clearer insights into the teachings of the Kabbala and Hasidism concerning the heart and its ability to elevate the universe through the transformation of our own hearts. Both cardio-energetics and our sages understand-despite differences in time, context, language, and intent-that we establish essential harmony within ourselves through the heart. This harmony reflects the harmonies of above and below inherent within the Creation.

Of all the organs within the body, the heart is preeminent in terms of the centrality of its location, the richness of its connections to all the cells within the body, and particularly relevant here, the intensity of its energy transmission…. But just as the heart not only pumps patterns of biochemical nutrients to every cell within the body through the circulation, it also "pumps" patterns of energy and information to every cell within the body…. It follows that to various degrees, every cell in the body is bathed in the dynamical energy generated by the heart. By itself, this basic hypothesis opens the door to consider such alternative approaches as Chinese medicine, homeopathy and massage from a dynamical energy systems perspective."

…

The heart is our most powerful organ. The brain's power pales by comparison. The heart is the largest generator of electromagnetic energy in our body and produces, sends and receives a broad spectrum of other types and frequencies of energy occurring over time.
