Release Stress on Your Heart | Zone of the Isoring

In anatomy books, the heart is usually approached as a separate organ that pumps blood through the rest of the circulatory system. In my experience, looking at the heart as a pump puts stress on the heart.
There are many ways to approach the heart. In this clip, we approach the heart as the place where the circulatory system simply spirals or pivots, which can release stress on the heart. The heart is not a separate unit from the blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries). There’s no break in the circulatory system.
Viewing, embodying, and working with the heart and blood vessels as one continuous unit brings awareness to the entire circulatory system. When any part of the system becomes unaware of its own existence, other parts will need to compensate.
Blood flows from the heart into the arteries, which flow into the capillary beds, which flow into the veins, which bring blood back to the heart, which flows into the arteries.
There is a place in the capillary beds that I call the zone of the isoring. This is the area where the arterial flow moves into the venous flow. It's similar to estuaries where freshwater meets the sea. It's a dynamic place of fluid transition - an energizing of the blood that is very important for the resting of the heart. The zone of the isoring provides a peripheral counterforce to support the centrality of the heart.
There is a lot of emphasis on core strength being a held position. What I'm sharing in this clip is how to let go of static core strength and to find the dynamic core strength that’s given to us freely without causing stress to our hearts.

I'm 56 an been showing people the pull and breaking the pull in the hands . People weren't sensitive and Said oh your crazy lol. It's strong in me. Ty for explaining this.

Very interesting! ❤

I love this idea of the heart not being a pump, with the idea of “4th phase” electrical, biological water. The capillaries are what actually drive blood flow, with each red blood cell being pushed through, single file, by the opposite charges of the cell and capillary walls. And with no friction because the force is applied from every direction around the (toroidally shaped!) cell. Like tiny little maglev trains floating on electromagnetism. It’s just a cool way to see it, and really way more intuitive than the standard model once you get past the paradigm shift. Hope this might help anyone coming to these videos that still needs a “science-y” explanation for this stuff.

Check out the Heart Math Institute's heart coherence work they've done years also.

@@dragonstaye4557 Thanks! Yeah I agree with them, how the heart actually creates some kind of magnetic field that interacts with the life around it. I know a lot of people will cry "superstition!" when you start talking about collective consciousness, but Rupert Sheldrake's theories and experiments made it make sense, to me at least. And I really do see yoga (not just the postures but the whole thing, like the old yoga sutras, patanjali), as a way of strengthening that connection. At least that's why I'm watching all these videos lol

Interesting. Tom Cowan, formerly an MD, published a book about the heart not being a pump, and has taught theories involving water being alive and sentient, which I've always believed.

As a child this electromagnetic feeling of our blood instantly gave me anxiety and I refused to allow myself to feel this feeling until this video. I am so thankful for it and I know this is going to help me a lot with my yoga. Its interesting that our faces hold a lot of this electromagnetic pull. Defiantly going to change the way I interact with people and objects around me!
