“The credo of Asclepian or brain-oriented healing is 'don't just sit there, do something.' [...] The credo of Hygeian or heart-oriented healing is 'don't just do something, sit there.”
Paul P. Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“The black color of the pupil results from an energy convergence and the total absorption of all of the energy waves of the color spectrum. When you look into another person’s eyes at their black pupil, you are looking at what has become of you in their eyes.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“As Sandra now knows, her husband, Jim, received the heart of a young woman from New York. Her family said she was prone to depression throughout her life, was shy and soft-spoken, had worked part-time in a flower shop, and had taken her own life in despair over a lost love.”

“for months Fred would say the name Sandy when we made love. I could have killed him. He said I was hearing things and he still denies it, but when he was really passionate, he used to say Sandy.” With a red face, Sandra leaned toward Karen and whispered, “Jim always calls me Sandra, but in bed he calls me Sandy.” As Jim blushed and took his wife’s hand, Sandra added, “In fact, since the transplant he never says my name at all, but he is much more romantic and much less macho. I’d say he donated his type A heart and got a type B version.”

“SHARING THE SAME HEART In very rare circumstances, it is possible for a heart transplant recipient to talk with the person whose heart they received. Through a process called domino transplantation, a patient with failing lungs receives a combination of a new heart and lungs from someone who has died, and donates his healthy heart to another person. (Because the heart and lungs function as one unit, and to reduce the chances of rejection, a heart-lung transplant is the preferred approach for some patients.)”

“In preparation for his New York Times Magazine story about one woman’s heart transplant experience, he had the opportunity to attend a Valentine’s Day party held for more than one hundred heart transplant recipients. Almost every recipient reported “spiritual memories,” or feelings of the energy of their donor. Siebert writes, “All the people I met at the party spoke in the same reverent tones about the angel in their chests, about this gift, this responsibility they now bear, and the little prayer they say to the other person inside them. It was as if they were part of some strange new cult, the tribe of the transplanted.”28 No one forgets that they have another person’s heart in their chest, and Siebert acknowledges that no matter how hard we try to see the heart as “just a pump,” every heart transplant recipient seemed to “re-inform themselves with a larger spiritual significance.”

“Energy cardiology suggests that the heart is the conductor that keeps all the cells playing the same score.”

“If you want to get a glimpse of how your whole body/heart/brain Mind system sounds when it works collectively, listen to a symphony. Compositions by Beethoven might be a good start, because his deafness forced him to tune in to his heart’s code rather than rely on his brain’s sense of hearing.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“The ultimate biomedical illusion has been the view that the body is made of solid matter with fluid pumped through it by an unconscious heart and a powerful conscious brain that is the primary controller of the entire system. Energy cardiology suggests, however, that the heart and not just the brain is what holds this system together by a form of spiritual info-energy, in a temporary and ever-changing set of cellular memories we refer to as “the self.” This “self” is the dynamic gestalt of information that might be considered the code that constitutes our soul.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“Whenever I become too busy, too impatient, and too cynical in my daily living, I stop and remember to listen and feel for my heart. I attend to it before it has to demand my attention by gripping me by my chest. During business meetings, on airplanes, or standing in a long, slow line, I place my index finger and thumb together on my left hand and feel the energetic thumping of my heart’s code that reminds me to lead life and not be led by it.”

“L” energy is always within us, however, and we can become more aware of it not by trying harder but by slowing and quieting down to, as fifteenth-century philosopher Marsilio Ficino suggested, turn toward the mystery of our own nature the way a sunflower turns toward the sun.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“L” energy does not seem to diminish over time. While all of the other known forms of energy seem to follow most of the Newtonian laws of physics, including burning things up and burning itself out over time, “L” energy seems to be a creative, connecting energy. Instead of burning things out, it seems to hold them together. It seems to be one of the strongest integrating, connecting forces in the universe.”

“It’s like heaven was not a place you go but a process you fall back into that makes you remember that you have always been connected with everything and everyone. Now, sometimes I feel like I can still sense my heart, wherever it is. I think it’s because the energy that was my heart is still in me and connected with the stuff that is my heart in another body.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“domino transplant” in which she received a healthy heart and lung from a deceased donor and her still-healthy heart was given to another patient; this way, her new lungs, connected to their original heart, are less likely to fail.)”

“When two lovers gaze into one another’s eyes, they info-energetically connect. Each absorbs the energy coming from the other’s eyes and all of the waves of color energy that “is” the image of each lover dissolves into the black pupil pool of the other. Like cosmic black holes that suck in all the energy around them, the black hole in the middle of the eye is where energy passes to the retina, to the occipital area of the brain; pulsates as info-energy from the heart throughout the body system; and is ultimately stored as a cellular memory imprint, or info-energetic love map, left within in every cell in the body.”

“More than seventy studies on intercessory prayer have shown the same nonlocal energetic connection effects as detected in the cheek cell experiment. One example of such a study was conducted by Dr. Randolph Byrd in San Francisco. It showed that patients undergoing heart surgery who were prayed for by groups scattered around the world did significantly better in their recovery than those who were not prayed for by these groups.9”

“The magnificence of the energy of the human system impresses even the scientifically rigorous Dr. Nuland. He is convinced that the wisdom of the body is traceable to known biochemical processes, yet he writes, “The unheard din of living is the symphony before which the chorale of the spirit soars in song.”4 It also seemed to impress the much more vitalistic or vital force-believing Ralph Waldo Emerson when he wrote, “One moment of a man’s life is a fact so stupendous as to take the lustre out of all fiction.”

“Research shows that the number of years of education a person has is a more important factor in determining risk of heart disease than all the other risk factors combined.23 While educated people are more likely to read and understand written health warnings, they also tend to be more aware of what is going on around them and how social forces act to affect their life.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“The way of the heart is much less environmentally deterministic than the brain and is based on a view of the universe as essentially a friendly place. The heart speaks in the language summarized by author Elizabeth Rivers: “When something doesn’t go my way, I let go of my idea of how it should be, trusting that my mind [brain] doesn’t know the larger picture.”

“The brain thinks and seems to know it thinks, but thinking is not its primary evolutionary imperative. Rational thinking comes second to the brain’s reactive survival instincts, and enhancing the self takes precedence over regard for the welfare of others. The primary mission of the brain is to keep us alive and to make our individual life as physically pleasurable as possible. Connection, loving, and caring are the brain’s second thoughts usually seeping through the din of its urgent energy as expressions of the heart’s code.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“We seldom say we love someone with all of our head, send brain-shaped candy on Valentine’s Day, or tell our lover that we want to give our brain to them.”
Paul Pearsall, The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy
“There are two questions that the thinking heart might ask about the new millennium. It may wonder if we can survive the world our brain has created for us and the pace at which it is running us and, even if the brain is clever enough to keep us alive in its new millennium world, will we want to live in that world if we only end up feeling more disconnected, hostile, self-protective, afraid, and alone in the universe—brilliant minds lacking loving souls. An objective of this book is to offer the possibility of putting more heart into our life by learning to quiet the restless, passionate brain so it may listen for the code of a gentler, more loving heart capable of reminding it that it is supposed to not only fulfill a biological evolutionary imperative but also be an instrument for refinement and expression of the soul.”
