The Human Heartbeat

A peaceful heartbeat is said to beat in a Phi rhythm

A normal human heart beats in a phi rhythm, with the T point of a normal electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) falling at the phi point of the heart's rhythmic cycle.

Prominent parts of the ECG are the P wave, a deflection caused by the current originating in the atrium; the QRS complex, showing the passage of the electrical activity into the ventricles; and the T wave, as the ventricles reset themselves.

While heartbeats vary, some believe that a heartbeat that reflects this perfect phi relationship represents a state of being that is one of health, peace and harmony.
