Cellular biologist Glen Rein Ph.D, concieved of a series of experiments to test healers' ability to affect biological systems. Since DNA is more stable than substances such as cells or bacterial cultures, he decided to have healers hold test tubes containing DNA.
This study took place at the HeartMath Research Center in California.
The folks there have conducted extraordinary research into the physiology of emotions, heart brain interactions, and much more.
Essentially, they and others have documented a specific link between our emotional states and our hearts rhytms. When we have negative emotions (such as anger and fear), our heart rhythms become erratic and disorganized. In contrast, positive emotions (love and joy, for instance) produce highly ordered, coherent patterns, that HeartMath researchers refer to as heart coherence.
In Dr Rein's experiment, he first studied a group of ten individuals who were well practiced in using techniques that HeartMath teaches to build heart-focused coherence. They applied the techniques to produce strong, elevated feelings such as love and appreciation, then for two minutes, they held vials containing DNA samples suspended in deionized water. When those samples were analyzed, no statistically significant changes had occurred.
A second group of trained participants did the same thing, but instead of just creating positive emotions (a feeling) of love and appreciation, they simultaneously held an intention (a thought) to either wind or unwind the strands of DNA . This group produced statistically significant changes in the conformation (shape) of DNA samples. In some cases the DNA was wound or unwound as much as 25 percent!
A third group of trained subjects held a clear intent to change the DNA, but they were instructed not to enter into a positive emotional state, In other words, they were only using thoughts (intention) to affect matter.The result? no changes to the DNA samples.
The positive emotional state that the first group entered did nothing by itself to the DNA. Another group's clearly held intentional thought, unaccompanied by emotion also had no impact. Only when subjects held both heightened emotions and clear objectives in alignment were they able to produce the intended effect.
A intentional thought needs an energizer, a catalyst- and that energy is an elevated emotion. Heart and mind working together. Feelings and thoughts unified into a state of being. If a state of being can wind and unwind strands of DNA in two minutes, what does this say about our ability to create reality?
What the HearMath experiment demonstrates is that the quantum field doesn't respond simply to our wishes, our emotional requests. It doesn't just respond to our aimes= our thoughts. It only responds when those are aligned or are coherent- that is, when they are broadcasting the same signal. When we combined an elevated emotion with an open heart and a conscious intention with clear thought, we signal the field to respond in amazing ways.

Hi Limor,
I have two friends who have been going to joe Dispenza's workshops. The latest was likened to "crossing the river of change". My friends participated in this experiential scientific workshop (new science). 300 people at this last workshop were measured as to EEG and heart frequencies. Some had kirlian type photography done. Some I think even had blood drawn to measure their changes in hormones?
Joe plans to use this information to show changes in people's energetic physiology.
The point of the workshop is necessary immersion using the information Joe Dispenza talks about. He said he only wants to offer experiential workshops. Using the techniques will change the participants' abilities to moderate the heart/mind connection. People can actually make big personal changes like healing and other "miracles" (not miraculous but a new science).
Two aspects they shared are really valuable. One is building energy. One needs a passionate energy for change (This time I am DOING THIS). the body needs to be convinced of determination. He uses the torus as a visual. Our energy is generated and brought up and out to make flows within the field: Up and over and down and up and over and down, filling up with one's field intention. Then imagery that has 3D full sensation (imagining something as really experienced) of any particular creation is placed in that energy of passion. Then it is LET GO. The release is very intrinsic. It is giving up what one desires to be accomplished knowing it is so.
There is a circular mental tendency we have of mental beliefs and habits to sever. One has a typical round and round of thought that creates loops. This depresses passion. So, maybe I am feeling ill and do not trust I will have health. I have a need to some how divert from the meaning of illness. If I have a fixed belief, I may become passionate about change (now I am focusing on health) but a cutoff of momentum towards health (I believe I am ill and all the old justifications) deflates. The grooves of habit of illness take one to familiar energetic states.
It makes me think that a certain amount of will is required to propel manifestation. I am calling will "directed energy". That is what I take anyway as an idea.
IMO Joe Dispenza is totally awesome and his techniques on target.
He was the one in "What the Bleep Do We Know" who talked about creating the perfect day.
When we first wake up, we can state our aim and then intend that day will move along a new track. He speaks of using the greatest Ideal of our self. IMO the ideals we feel strongly about come from the heart. Feeling passionate about the ideal and acting on it are powerful creation tools.
What if, before you got out of bed and began your day, you took the time to ask yourself one simple question? "What is the greatest ideal of myself that I can be today?" If you were patient enough to wait for an answer, you would begin to think differently than if you just woke up and remembered yourself as the same person from the day before.
In other words, if you waken in the morning, get out of bed on the same side, turn off your alarm clock the same way, use the toilet as always, look in the mirror to remember who you are, wash yourself in the shower the same way as the day before, groom yourself and dress yourself to look like everyone expects to see you, eat the same food for breakfast, drive to work as usual, see the same people at work that push the same emotional buttons and do the same memorized things that you know how to do so well, we could say that your mind and your brain would remain virtually unchanged.
A common principle in neuroscience says that "nerve cells that fire together, wire together." Therefore, if you repeatedly think and act in identical ways on a daily basis, your brain will become molded into a specific hardwired pattern that will support the same level of mind. It's ironic. Most people routinely think the same thoughts, perform the same actions, and secretly expect something different to show up in their lives.
If however, you were to sincerely think about a greater ideal of yourself before you started your day, you would begin to make your brain fire in new sequences, patterns, and combinations. And whenever you make your brain work differently, you just changed your mind. The working definition of mind, according to neuroscience, is the brain in action or the brain at work. You created a new mind than if you just continued on business as usual.
Because of the size of the human frontal lobe, you have the privilege of making thought more real than anything else. Thus, when you close your eyes and eliminate the barrage of stimuli from your external world, you can formulate a new image of yourself without distraction just by going within. And when you are truly focused and pay attention, there comes a moment when your brain does not know the difference between what is real in the external world and what you imagine in your mind. In fact, the thoughts you are embracing will become just like a real life experience in your mind. The moment this occurs, your brain up-scales its hardware to reflect what you're imaging and intentionally thinking about. Consequently when you change your mind, you change your brain, and when you change your brain, you change your mind.
The quantum physics model of reality tells us that mind and matter are not separate elements. In fact, subjective mind has a true effect on the external objective world. Your mindful observation of reality matters. An intentional mind literally conditions and organizes matter into the blue prints of personal destiny. Hence, if reality is an extension of mind and your reality is your life then you might reason that by changing your mind, you should produce some identifiable changes in your life. http://drjoedispenza.com/index.php?page_id=creating_greatest_ideal

I love the heartmath ways (no pun intended).

I am so struggling with this aspect of awareness at present. I have been so hurt by hurt, rejection and non-forgiveness in my life (I no longer have any personal relationships). Every unforgiven mistake I have made and fault that is ion me is a mirror that shows me how despicable and dispensable I am perceived to be, yet I see others being loved and connected who behave far more despicably by my perception (e.g. my brother-in-law kicked me out the family because of one remark I made, but he is loved and supported even though he has physically and verbally abused his family, is a drug addict and a racist bigot, and refuses to work because it makes him unhappy his wife, my sister, works two jobs and my other sister subsidies that family financially, plus the inheritance from my father).
I wrote a poem to the universe while commuting by train (which takes many hours because trains are delayed or cancelled) about asking the universe to take my angry, bitter thoughts and feelings and wrap them in a mist of unconditional love so that they do no harm, and then to touch me with tenderness and caring so that I can also be loved. It is still a rough draft, but, I hope, that it expresses the struggles and vulnerability of living with the awareness of being human and being flawed and inadequate in who I am and how I respond within myself to what I perceive as the reality of human behaviour.
In terms of healing, I was healed (spontaneous remission was how it was labelled by the specialist, which, I think, means 'we cannot explain this') and thus transcended a life-threatening condition, not by visualisation, but simply by telling my body to fix the problem and accepting that a 15% chance was very good odds. I also live with a damaged leg, yet walk (no access to a car) whereas my mother had similar problems, also in her right leg, and she required surgery and used a walking stick and wheelchair for many years before she died. I believe that exercising will strengthen my leg; she looked to a doctor to fix her leg.
Finally, I do not believe that we are fully in control of creating our own reality. Living as a human means that we are connected in so many ways to others, to systems, to realities created by groups, and so on. We can only create the reality of what happens in our lives by how we react and respond to others and to situations, but, for example, if someone hates us and does us harm through that hate, we cannot change that person's feelings nor the harm that the hate causes (e.g. if someone with influence restricts our ability to work by negatively influencing all in that industry or if we are excluded from a family because someone with power in that family shuts us out). We can only change how wee feel about that hate and harm and what we do in reaction and response to that hate and harm (and our feelings and actions very rarely change another human being or a situation).
I don't believe that we have the power to completely control our reality. If we did, Jesus (if he was real) would have transformed humanity to feel and think and act from unconditional love and compassion always. He had the power to start a religion, but not to change how humans basically operate ... from ruthless, dishonest and self-serving, et al, instincts to unconditional love and compassion.
On a positive note, I think we incarnated to experience the joy and adventure of being on this wonderful and dangerous Earth as human, with the capacity to create and expand and discover and enjoy ... without limit. Every incarnation, for me, was about experiencing something new, and not about choosing circumstances to learn lessons through suffering. In the lifetime that I experienced books I had a very lonely life and I bailed out early as a child. In the lifetime that I first experienced urban living, I was a crippled orphan street child who died young from an epidemic. I have had a lifetime where I became a herbalist and passed on my knowledge to my daughter, who became a great healer. My sense that is I choose to reincarnate to experience something new as humanity offers new experiences (and I seem to carry themes from one incarnation to another).
As for healing physically ... I have the same problems my mother had but I deal with them differently and thus live my life differently (so, no, my leg is not ok, but, no, I do not use a walking stick or a wheelchair and I walk instead of driving a car). Changing how we think and feel about something does not necessarily change it (so, no, my leg is not healed), but we can respond and react differently and thus experience differently. I cannot create love where love does not exist for me, but I can choose to do no physical harm to those who hate instead of loving me, and I can ask the universe to wrap my bitterness and anger in unconditional love so that my thoughts and feelings do no harm. That is the best I can do as the human being I am. All new age gurus will say that I create my own reality and all the hate and harm is all my fault. But that is the best I can do.
