processes in each of the other organs,structures, and systems, including those at the micro-scale of cells and membranes, also generatepatterns of dynamic activity. These patterns of dynamic activity radiate out into the bodysinternal environment as energy oscillations, and they interact with the energy waves from theheart and to some degree with the energy waves of other organs and structures. In each of theseinteractions the energy waves encode the features of the objects and their dynamic activity asinterference patterns. Because the heart generates by far the strongest energy field, whichinteracts with both the macro and micro scales of the bodys organization, the waves it producesoperate effectively as global carrier waves that encode the information contained in theinterference patterns. These global carrier waves thus contain encoded information from all ofthe bodys energetic interactions, and they distribute this information throughout all systems inthe body. In this holographic-like process, the encoded information acts to in-form the activity ofall bodily functions (McCraty et al., 1998). This energetic communication system therebyoperates as a global organizing mechanism to coordinate and synchronize psychophysiologicalprocesses in the body as a whole.This theorythat the heart encodes and distributes energetic information holographicallyisbased on the same model that neuropsychologist Karl Pribram has used to describe the neuralprocesses in the brain that gives rise to perception and memory (Pribram, 1971, 1991). In thismodel, as Pribram makes clear, the neural impulses are only relaying information from one partof the brain to another. However, the actual processing of information occurs in the spectraldomain of energy frequencya domain outside space and time in which the waves of energyproduced by the operation of the neural microstructure interact. Moreover, he has shown that thatthe same mathematics that Gabor (1948) used to describe the quantum-holographic principlesinvolved in the physics of signal processing can also be used to describe the informationprocessing that occurs in the electromagnetic interactions between the dendritic and axon fieldsof neurons (McCraty et al., 1998). While a discussion of this is beyond the scope of this article,Pribram and other brain scientists have presented a large body of compelling experimentalevidence that supports the veracity of Pribrams bioenergetic model of information processing(King, Xie, Zheng, & Pribram, 1994; McCraty et al., 1998; Pribram, 1971, 1991; Santa Maria etal., 1995). Thus, in addition to the energetic information processing that occurs in the brain, asdescribed by Pribram, we propose that there is also a heart-based global energetic system thatencodes and distributes information to coordinate and organize the function of the body as aINTEGRAL REVIEWDecember 2009Vol. 5, No. 2whole.15 Thus, in addition to the energetic information processing that occurs in the brain, asdescribed by Pribram, we propose that there is also a heart-based global energetic system thatencodes and distributes information to coordinate and organize the function of the body as awhole.There is compelling evidence to suggest that the hearts energy field is coupled to a field ofinformation that is not bound by the limits of time and space. This evidence comes from arigorous experimental study we conducted to investigate the proposition that the body receivesand processes information about a future event before the event actually happens
