The Heart is a Vortex, not a Pump
Our hearts are whirlpools spinning our life-force around our bodies
The job that the heart does
Did you know that the heart’s real job is to ensure that deoxygenated blood flows out of it and oxygenated blood flows into it in a vortex movement or spiral-like movement, akin to a whirlpool?
Doctor (Dr.) Tom Cowan, in his brilliant book, “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart” (published in 2016) explains that instead of a pump, the heart behaves as a vortex. The heart is not powerful enough to pump blood all around the body. But it facilitates how the blood travels around the body.
Our blood vessels are hydrophilic (water loving) tubes with a gel layer on the surface, that carries a negative charge. Positively charged water in the blood is dissolved into the middle of the tube. The repulsion between the two charges starts the flow moving. The forces of adhesion and cohesion keep it going.
The heart creates a vortex or a whirlpool that facilitates the heavier elements of blood to travel down the central axis of a blood vessel and pushes the lighter fluids toward the periphery of the vessel. This enhances the electrically charged movement of the blood within the vessels.
The reason for the vortex creation is complex, but is a ‘generative’ force in nature. When nature wants to create or enhance life, it uses vortices.
The two chambers of the heart act as a hydraulic ram and create negative pressure that propels blood out of the pulmonary valve (between the lower right heart chamber or right ventricle and the artery that delivers blood to the lungs, the pulmonary artery) in a vortex motion.
The suction forms the same type of swirling vortex that is seen curling around rocks in a flowing stream. This process is then repeated when the blood returns from the lungs and enters the remaining two chambers of the heart. Blood then travels via the aorta throughout the entire body structured, energized, and oxygenated.
Dr. Cowan explains that “the heart is a muscle that holds back the blood like a dam and then converts the flow into a vortex.
The key difference between a hydraulic ram and a propulsion pump is that a hydraulic ram is inserted into the path of an already moving fluid and uses the force of the stream to do its work.
Heart healthy living
Dr. Tom Cowan proposes that faulty metabolism of the heart connected to the tone or the health of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems dramatically increases lactic acid production in the heart cells. This leads to diminished muscle function of the heart and the heart weakens.
A way of looking after our hearts is to look after our parasympathetic nervous system, the system that’s responsible for rest after the sympathetic nervous system responds to dangerous or difficult situations.
Practically speaking, this involves cultivating a stress-free life. To look after your good heart, aim to reduce high sympathetic nervous system activity (the fight-or-flight response), perhaps through daily meditation, music, gratitude practices, or energy medicine, being outdoors, or a combination of these.
Dr. Tom Cowan says that energy from sun-light and moon-light, and from standing barefoot on the Earth and from the infra-red fields emitted by people around us provide energy for the blood vessels, which are hydrophilic or water-loving tubes. These tubes contain structured water, or water charged via a vortex.
Dr. Tom Cowan advocates a diet rich with healthy fats and fat-soluble nutrients that is low in processed carbohydrates and sugars. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins D, A, E, and K1 and K2) are absorbed along with the fats that you eat.
Your heart needs healthy fatty acids and ketones (the latter of which your body makes as it breaks down fats), as they are the heart’s preferred and most efficient fuel sources.
When blood flow gets weak, caused by damage to the vessels due to stress, denatured water or, most commonly, decreased exposure to the healing properties of our earth, the body naturally and brilliantly responds by narrowing the tubes to maintain adequate flow.
High blood pressure or the elevation of the blood pressure is simply and easily understood not as a disease but as a compensatory, healing response to poor flow.
The heart drives us, not the brain
Simone Matthews from Universal Life-tools states that the heart drives a person, not the brain. HeartMath calls this the Heart-Brain. In fact your Heart has over 40,000 neurons and can thus sense, feel, learn & remember.
Your Heart seeks to serve, to find balance, to discover peaceful solutions, to bring awareness of the present moment. The heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart.
This “little brain” as it has been called by scientists is responsible for fine control over the heart-beat.
The brain is said by some to be like a CPU with programs to operate the physical body, including the thinking process. The heart is the first organ to form in the development of a human body, not the brain.
Precision in balance
THE HEART FORM IS PRECISION IN BALANCE between inversion and reversals, suction and pressure, concave and convex, right and left, backwards and forwards, below and above, three and four, asymmetrical and symmetrical, acceleration and deceleration, clockwise and counter-clockwise, geometric and organic, and two different vortexes, all of which today can be demonstrated to be lawful. These polarities are found to be active in the human heart.
Blood flow is not a simple stream like we once thought. It is in fact composed of two streams, spiraling around each other much like the image of a DNA double helix, at the center of which is a vacuum.
“Blood flow through living vessels is much more like a tornado than anything else: Such a vacuum is necessary for producing a vortex” — Stephen Buhner
This spiral dance is not only found in the bloodstream, but also in the blood cell itself. Blood cells spin on their own individual axes of rotation. They are smaller spinning cells in a larger spinning vortex.
The heart itself has recently been discovered not to be a mass of muscle, but rather a ‘helicoidal myocardial band’ that has spiraled in upon itself, creating its unique shape and its separate chambers.
Thus, its helicoidal nature has resulted in the heart being called the Helical Heart.
I call the heart “the Whirlpool of Love.”
Nimbin Apothecary reports that the heart functions as an endocrine gland, has its own nervous system that makes and releases its own neurotransmitters, and emits an electromagnetic field that is far stronger than the brain’s.
Undoubtedly, we need to shift our idea that the heart is simply a mechanical pump. Such a grand design of the heart must be a matter or a creation of LOVE or of a unified field doing its best for us!
Imagine if you were a teeny thing in the flowing life-giving fluid through the heart and the body, you would be twirled around like a dancer in eternally turning whirlpools!
The dance of Life, our hearts are so much more than mechanical pumps. They are the core of us, our essence. To balance or centre yourself is to bring your awareness to the present, which is all there is.
You can do this by placing your hand (or your awareness/focus) on your heart. As you breathe in, say aloud or silently, “I see you,” thus acknowledging the beat at the centre of you. As you breathe out, say “Thank you.”
How great thou HEART 💜 ❤️ 💕 is true.

This is such a fascinating article, Grace. What resonates most for me is what you wrote about humans needing to be in close relationship with other-than-human nature. I know I always feel a lot better in spirit and body when I've spent time in the wilderness. Makes me want to buy an RV and spend long weekends in the wilderness.
