HeartMath Institute, we’re looking at trees as generators of biofields that might interact with human or even planetary scale biofields. This research might help us prove that Nature is one interactive “soup” of energy fields.
HeartMath Institute scientists are examining the ways in which all living things are interconnected. We are accomplishing this by researching biofield interactions and the exchange of information between our personal and global magnetic field environments.
HMI’s research is monitoring tree electrical activity globally is a new endeavor that has never been attempted before! There is much that we do not yet know and we expect this citizen-scientist effort to help generate new questions for us to explore in the lab.
The project consists of measuring and tracking the voltage generated both within the tree and between the tree and the ground around it. The ambient temperature is also measured and recorded to better understand any impact it might have on the measured voltages.
It's expected that tracking these measurements across a number of different types of trees located around the world will help scientists at HeartMath and other organizations better understand how trees interact with the broader energy field in which we all exist.
Trees have a surprisingly complex range of electrical activity and rhythms. They clearly have circadian rhythms and other slower rhythms as well as other activity that changes faster. They are coupled in part to electrical potentials that we see waxing and waning with the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.
We also will be conducting experiments to see if and how trees respond to human emotions, along the lines of what has been demonstrated with plants.
Together we hope to bring new awareness to the energetic link between people, nature, and all living systems.
HeartMath Tree Rhythms is a Citizen Scientist Project, https://treerhythms.net/
