Biofield physiology of the nervous system and heart
The nervous system uses the separation of electrical charge across cell membranes to support local cross-membrane transport of molecules, intercellular communication, and long-distance propagation of electric charge.1 The nervous system interacts with every system in the body, connecting the actions of each system via electrical and chemical signals. These systems include but are not limited to cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, immune, digestive, reproductive, motor, and cognitive. To manage this vast array of functions, the nervous system has two main divisions: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system that controls bodily functions that are involuntary or unconscious, such as breathing, heart function, and digestion. The autonomic nervous system is composed of the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric divisions.2,3
