What exactly is meant by the term 'heart'? It's not just the physical organ, through which we feel emotions as the heart pounds faster or relaxes. The heart also corresponds to the heart chakra of subtle energies and information, and it has a built-in nervous system of its own linked to emotions and intuition. It also aligns with the right-brain way of thinking holistically and non-verbally, whereas the ego mind is more left-brain and verbal - in the head. So when we talk about "listening to our heart, " it means being mindful of our soul's perspective, our inner knowing, our intuitive feeling, our essential loving core. Peter Shepherd
He is one of the few people I know of who recognize that the heart is a sense organ as well as a perfectly designed pump for our circulatory system. Bravo for posting his wonderful observation! Hugs.
