You know that the heart loves and feels, but did you know that the heart

also thinks, remembers, communicates with other hearts, helps regulate

immunity, and contains stored information that continually pulses

through your body?

In The Heart\'s Code, Dr. Paul Pearsall

explains the theory and science behind energy cardiology, the emerging

field that is uncovering one of the most significant medical, social,

and spiritual discoveries of our time: The heart is more than just a pump;

it conducts the cellular symphony that is the very essence of our

being.

Full of amazing anecdotes and data, The Heart\'s Code presents the

latest research on cellular memory and the power of the heart\'s energy

and explores what these breakthroughs mean about how we should live our

lives. By unlocking the heart\'s code we can discover new ways of

understanding human healing and consciousness and create a new model for

living that leads to better health, happiness, and self-knowledge.

Self-styled psychoneuroimmunologist Paul Pearsall contends that people

often think with their hearts rather than their heads. In THE HEART’S

CODE: TAPPING THE WISDOM AND POWER OF OUR HEART ENERGY, he explores the

relatively new field of cellular memory, an area that has broad

implications socially, medically, and religiously. He conjectures that

just as all cells contain genetic blueprints, they also contain memories

of the distant past.

Pearsall has collected a panoply of anecdotal material from organ

transplant patients and their families. He claims that in many heart

recipients, a spiritual tie grows between patient and donor. Some of the

people interviewed claim to share memories with their deceased donors,

leading Pearsall to postulate that the heart, which he personifies

throughout his book, actually is capable of thought, emotion, memory,

and communication with other hearts.

Pearsall intimates that a unique form of energy he labels the “fifth

force” exists in the world but is usually eclipsed by the power of the

brain. What he writes about essentially, then, is emotion (the heart)

versus reason (the brain). In passages that suggest overtones of the

religion and philosophy of Native Americans, Pearsall points to the

brain’s concern with short-term memory rather than with the archetypal

recollections of the heart.

Pearsall calls the heart’s energy “L” energy, which is not bound by

time and space, as the energy of the brain is. Obedient to the laws of

physics, it unites with other forms of energy present in the universe.

In THE HEART’S CODE, Pearsall treads on territory viewed by many in

the medical profession as, at best, specious and at worst, downright

fraudulent. The book is imaginative and lively. Its research is

extensive but has a significant bias that is sure to alienate

scientifically-oriented readers.
