In this episode of The Smoosh Podcast, Melis and Ben explore the heart, not as a mechanical pump, but as a finely tuned instrument of perception and connection. Our conversation flows through themes of consciousness, emotion, and embodiment, asking whether the heart might hold deeper wisdom than current scientific models allow. Along the way, we touch on spirals in nature, the impact of the industrial revolution on modern thinking, and how AI can mimic emotion, but not inhabit it. At its core, this episode is a meditation on feeling, being, and what it means to be human in times of complexity and change.
Notes:
The inspiration for this episode came from an article Melis and Ben read called The Heart Beyond Mechanics: Force, Flow and the Physics of Reverence by Sabahat Fida
Melis mentions a book called ‘The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness’ by Mark Solms
We also mention The HeartMath Institute where you can learn more about heart rate variability and heart coherence.
