The Heart is Not Just a Pump Many of us live under the medical myth that the heart is only a pump, an idea borne of an industrialised culture that views the body as a machine. The heart however is so much more beautiful and fascinating than we ever could have imagined! “Modern analysis of the heart has shown that in spite of the fact that the most powerful ventricle of the heart can shoot water six feet into the air, the amount of pressure actually needed to force the blood through the entire length of the body’s blood vessels would have to be able to lift a one hundred pound weight one mile high” - Stephen Buhner So how does the blood move around the labyrinth-like vessels of our body? It moves of its own accord. You see, blood flow is not a simple stream like we once thought. It is in fact composed of two streams, spiralling around each other much like the image of a DNA double helix, at the centre 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 How cool is that? This spiral dance is not only found in the bloodstream, but also in the blood cell itself! Blood cells in fact spin on their own individual axes of rotation. They are smaller spinning cells in a larger spinning vortex. If your mind is not blown yet, let’s go back to the heart. The heart itself has recently been discovered not to be a mass of muscle, but rather a ‘helicoidal myocardial band’ that has spiralled in upon itself, creating its unique shape and its separate chambers. This is called the Helical Heart, and you can see doctors unravel it by searching ‘Helical Heart’ on Youtube.

It is a spiralling organ of perception. If that’s not beautiful, we don’t know what is.
