there once was a monkey who lived in the

there once was a monkey who lived in the trees and a shark that lived in the

trees and a shark that lived in the

trees and a shark that lived in the nearby waters every day the shark the

nearby waters every day the shark the

nearby waters every day the shark the monkey would feed fruit from this tree

monkey would feed fruit from this tree

monkey would feed fruit from this tree into the water for the shark to have and

into the water for the shark to have and

into the water for the shark to have and soon the shark in the monkey became best

soon the shark in the monkey became best

soon the shark in the monkey became best friends one day the shark asked the

friends one day the shark asked the

friends one day the shark asked the monkey if he would like to take a swim

monkey if he would like to take a swim

monkey if he would like to take a swim with him

with him

with him of course the monkey is a little

of course the monkey is a little

of course the monkey is a little hesitant at first but then students

hesitant at first but then students

hesitant at first but then students decide to go with the shark and as the

decide to go with the shark and as the

decide to go with the shark and as the shark and the monkey swim off together

shark and the monkey swim off together

shark and the monkey swim off together the shark informs the monkey that he

the shark informs the monkey that he

the shark informs the monkey that he asked him to take a swim with him

asked him to take a swim with him

asked him to take a swim with him because he needs the heart of a monkey

because he needs the heart of a monkey

because he needs the heart of a monkey to save his sick dying shark friend and

to save his sick dying shark friend and

to save his sick dying shark friend and so the monkey is terrified of course but

so the monkey is terrified of course but

so the monkey is terrified of course but soon comes up with a quick plan he tells

soon comes up with a quick plan he tells

soon comes up with a quick plan he tells the shark that he has left his heart

the shark that he has left his heart

the shark that he has left his heart back in his tree on land so the shark in

back in his tree on land so the shark in

back in his tree on land so the shark in the monkey turn around to get the

the monkey turn around to get the

the monkey turn around to get the monkeys heart and as they arrive back on

monkeys heart and as they arrive back on

monkeys heart and as they arrive back on land the monkey quickly climbs back up

land the monkey quickly climbs back up

land the monkey quickly climbs back up interest rate and does not return the

interest rate and does not return the

interest rate and does not return the monkey shouts from his tree and says you

monkey shouts from his tree and says you

monkey shouts from his tree and says you silly little shark did you really think

silly little shark did you really think

silly little shark did you really think I would give my heart away that easily I

I would give my heart away that easily I

I would give my heart away that easily I chose this old school healing folktale

chose this old school healing folktale

chose this old school healing folktale because it plays on our heartstrings the

because it plays on our heartstrings the

because it plays on our heartstrings the idea of the shark taking away the

idea of the shark taking away the

idea of the shark taking away the monkeys heart can be almost a little

monkeys heart can be almost a little

monkeys heart can be almost a little disturbing and this tail does a great

disturbing and this tail does a great

disturbing and this tail does a great job of depicting an anthropomorphic

job of depicting an anthropomorphic

job of depicting an anthropomorphic relationship between the shark in the

relationship between the shark in the

relationship between the shark in the monkey creating this very human-like

monkey creating this very human-like

monkey creating this very human-like scenario and this might cause us to

scenario and this might cause us to

scenario and this might cause us to empathize with the monkey maybe we feel

empathize with the monkey maybe we feel

empathize with the monkey maybe we feel her sad for the monkey for being put

her sad for the monkey for being put

her sad for the monkey for being put into this situation maybe we feel angry

into this situation maybe we feel angry

into this situation maybe we feel angry at the shark and all these emotions were

at the shark and all these emotions were

at the shark and all these emotions were experiencing while listening to this

experiencing while listening to this

experiencing while listening to this folktale clearly reflects the fact that

folktale clearly reflects the fact that

folktale clearly reflects the fact that not only is our heart a vital organ in

not only is our heart a vital organ in

not only is our heart a vital organ in our body but also plays a part in our

our body but also plays a part in our

our body but also plays a part in our emotional and spiritual well-being so

emotional and spiritual well-being so

emotional and spiritual well-being so then why are our hearts so close to us

then why are our hearts so close to us

then why are our hearts so close to us and so special to us well let’s start

and so special to us well let’s start

and so special to us well let’s start from the beginning

from the beginning

from the beginning humans have been around for almost 2.5

humans have been around for almost 2.5

humans have been around for almost 2.5 million years

million years

million years however the beating of our hearts have

however the beating of our hearts have

however the beating of our hearts have been around for much longer

been around for much longer

been around for much longer scientists at the University of

scientists at the University of

scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have recently discovered an

Pennsylvania have recently discovered an

Pennsylvania have recently discovered an ancient molecular pathway they believe

ancient molecular pathway they believe

ancient molecular pathway they believe is responsible for the mechanism our

mechanism our body uses to produce a heartbeat and after cloning these genes

heartbeat and after cloning these genes

heartbeat and after cloning these genes they found that this gene family or

they found that this gene family or

they found that this gene family or mechanism has remained relatively

mechanism has remained relatively

mechanism has remained relatively unchanged since the time of the scene

unchanged since the time of the scene

unchanged since the time of the scene and me and humans divergence almost a

and me and humans divergence almost a

and me and humans divergence almost a billion years ago which means that not

billion years ago which means that not

billion years ago which means that not only is this mechanism ancient but it

only is this mechanism ancient but it

only is this mechanism ancient but it has evolved from some of the earliest

has evolved from some of the earliest

has evolved from some of the earliest life-forms ever seen on earth so how

life-forms ever seen on earth so how

life-forms ever seen on earth so how does our heart actually beat our heart

does our heart actually beat our heart

does our heart actually beat our heart is composed of many different cells

is composed of many different cells

is composed of many different cells organized into tightly packed issues

organized into tightly packed issues

organized into tightly packed issues called muscles and as these cells

called muscles and as these cells

called muscles and as these cells constrict it allows the muscle to

constrict it allows the muscle to

constrict it allows the muscle to squeeze and pump blood throughout the

squeeze and pump blood throughout the

squeeze and pump blood throughout the entire body and what’s amazing is that

entire body and what’s amazing is that

entire body and what’s amazing is that as these muscles are pumping and

as these muscles are pumping and

as these muscles are pumping and squeezing it creates this wave-like

squeezing it creates this wave-like

squeezing it creates this wave-like frequency as you can see right here and

frequency as you can see right here and

frequency as you can see right here and this is what allows cardiologists to

this is what allows cardiologists to

this is what allows cardiologists to measure things such as a normal regular

measure things such as a normal regular

measure things such as a normal regular heartbeat and when these waves are

heartbeat and when these waves are

heartbeat and when these waves are measured over a significant period of

measured over a significant period of

measured over a significant period of time it creates this electromagnetic

time it creates this electromagnetic

time it creates this electromagnetic field around your body as you can see

field around your body as you can see

field around your body as you can see here in this picture what’s fascinating

here in this picture what’s fascinating

here in this picture what’s fascinating about the heart is that it’s it creates

about the heart is that it’s it creates

about the heart is that it’s it creates the largest and strongest magnetic field

the largest and strongest magnetic field

the largest and strongest magnetic field electromagnetic field compared to any

electromagnetic field compared to any

electromagnetic field compared to any other organ in your body and in fact the

other organ in your body and in fact the

other organ in your body and in fact the heart when measured on an ECG creates an

heart when measured on an ECG creates an

heart when measured on an ECG creates an amplitude that is 60 times greater than

amplitude that is 60 times greater than

amplitude that is 60 times greater than the brain waves recorded on electro

the brain waves recorded on electro

the brain waves recorded on electro cephalic gram and just recently research

cephalic gram and just recently research

cephalic gram and just recently research has started to show that these

has started to show that these

has started to show that these electromagnetic fields and heartbeat

electromagnetic fields and heartbeat

electromagnetic fields and heartbeat wavelengths are corresponding to even

wavelengths are corresponding to even

wavelengths are corresponding to even greater things like our emotions

greater things like our emotions

greater things like our emotions dr. role McCraney the head researcher at

dr. role McCraney the head researcher at

dr. role McCraney the head researcher at the heart math Institute has been

the heart math Institute has been

the heart math Institute has been conducting studies and found a strong

conducting studies and found a strong

conducting studies and found a strong correlation between our heartbeat

correlation between our heartbeat

correlation between our heartbeat wavelengths and our emotions over the

wavelengths and our emotions over the

wavelengths and our emotions over the decades he has tested various patterns

decades he has tested various patterns

decades he has tested various patterns and rhythms and physiological systems in

and rhythms and physiological systems in

and rhythms and physiological systems in our in the changes in our emotional

our in the changes in our emotional

our in the changes in our emotional states and through experimentation he

states and through experimentation he

states and through experimentation he has found that the heart rate

has found that the heart rate

has found that the heart rate variability or heart rhythm patterns are

variability or heart rhythm patterns are

variability or heart rhythm patterns are consistently the most dynamic and

consistently the most dynamic and

consistently the most dynamic and reflective of the change in our in one’s

reflective of the change in our in one’s

reflective of the change in our in one’s emotional state dr. McReady has further

emotional state dr. McReady has further

emotional state dr. McReady has further research that the heart rhythm pattern

research that the heart rhythm pattern

research that the heart rhythm pattern is clearly reflective of when an

is clearly reflective of when an

is clearly reflective of when an individual is

individual is

individual is dancing a positive versus negative

dancing a positive versus negative

dancing a positive versus negative motion so for example when an individual

motion so for example when an individual

motion so for example when an individual is experiencing a positive emotion like

is experiencing a positive emotion like

is experiencing a positive emotion like happiness or joy their wavelength

happiness or joy their wavelength

happiness or joy their wavelength heartbeat wavelength will appear in a

heartbeat wavelength will appear in a

heartbeat wavelength will appear in a balanced coherent and smooth pattern and

balanced coherent and smooth pattern and

balanced coherent and smooth pattern and when an individual is experiencing a

when an individual is experiencing a

when an individual is experiencing a negative motion like stress or anger

negative motion like stress or anger

negative motion like stress or anger their heartbeat wavelength will appear

their heartbeat wavelength will appear

their heartbeat wavelength will appear in a jagged and erratic pattern as seen

in a jagged and erratic pattern as seen

in a jagged and erratic pattern as seen here

here

here and so dr. McCrady’s research is showing

and so dr. McCrady’s research is showing

and so dr. McCrady’s research is showing that our heart beat patterns are not

that our heart beat patterns are not

that our heart beat patterns are not only a reflect of a reflection of our

only a reflect of a reflection of our

only a reflect of a reflection of our day-to-day motions but also play a key

day-to-day motions but also play a key

day-to-day motions but also play a key role in our emotional perception and

role in our emotional perception and

role in our emotional perception and experience so what’s truly amazing is

experience so what’s truly amazing is

experience so what’s truly amazing is that these wavelengths and heartbeat

that these wavelengths and heartbeat

that these wavelengths and heartbeat rhythms are defined by the physical

rhythms are defined by the physical

rhythms are defined by the physical heart itself which means that race

heart itself which means that race

heart itself which means that race gender and ethnicity play no role in

gender and ethnicity play no role in

gender and ethnicity play no role in creating that electromagnetic field

creating that electromagnetic field

creating that electromagnetic field around your body so as long as you

around your body so as long as you

around your body so as long as you currently have a heart that is beating

currently have a heart that is beating

currently have a heart that is beating inside of your body right now you will

inside of your body right now you will

inside of your body right now you will produce the same electromagnetic field

produce the same electromagnetic field

produce the same electromagnetic field as someone sitting directly next to you

as someone sitting directly next to you

as someone sitting directly next to you or someone sitting in a room halfway

or someone sitting in a room halfway

or someone sitting in a room halfway across the world essentially our

across the world essentially our

across the world essentially our heartbeat is making us human so you

heartbeat is making us human so you

heartbeat is making us human so you might ask yourself how do these

might ask yourself how do these

might ask yourself how do these electromagnetic fields and heartbeat

electromagnetic fields and heartbeat

electromagnetic fields and heartbeat wavelengths help us to be better

wavelengths help us to be better

wavelengths help us to be better communicators and co-operators well I’ll

wanted to say something to them to put

wanted to say something to them to put them in a better mood well how were you

them in a better mood well how were you

them in a better mood well how were you able to pick up on that person’s emotion

able to pick up on that person’s emotion

able to pick up on that person’s emotion without them verbally telling you that

without them verbally telling you that

without them verbally telling you that that’s how they are feeling well the

beginning however in one of my favorite

beginning however in one of my favorite documentaries called I am there’s a

documentaries called I am there’s a

documentaries called I am there’s a scene where dr. McReady

scene where dr. McReady

scene where dr. McReady is testing this theory and he asked his

is testing this theory and he asked his

is testing this theory and he asked his participant a series of questions to

participant a series of questions to

participant a series of questions to induce a stressful and negative emotion

induce a stressful and negative emotion

induce a stressful and negative emotion and while he’s going through this

and while he’s going through this

and while he’s going through this emotion he has an EKG attached to his

emotion he has an EKG attached to his

emotion he has an EKG attached to his heart and then also attached to a petri

heart and then also attached to a petri

heart and then also attached to a petri dish full of yogurt and as many of you

emotion he’s creating that jagged and erratic heart rhythm pattern as seen

erratic heart rhythm pattern as seen

erratic heart rhythm pattern as seen early on the graph before and as he’s

early on the graph before and as he’s

early on the graph before and as he’s reaching that state the energy level by

reaching that state the energy level by

reaching that state the energy level by the petri dish full of yogurt is moving

the petri dish full of yogurt is moving

the petri dish full of yogurt is moving back and forth very rapidly which means

back and forth very rapidly which means

back and forth very rapidly which means that this study suggests that those life

that this study suggests that those life

that this study suggests that those life forms are not only able to pick up on

forms are not only able to pick up on

forms are not only able to pick up on your frequencies but they’re

your frequencies but they’re

your frequencies but they’re interpreting it and it’s changing their

interpreting it and it’s changing their

interpreting it and it’s changing their own physical energy level states as well

own physical energy level states as well

own physical energy level states as well so again and again the heart has proven

so again and again the heart has proven

so again and again the heart has proven how it is not only a vital communication

how it is not only a vital communication

how it is not only a vital communication center but it plays a key evolutionary
