There is no way to calculate the heart’s abundant resources. It holds its precious humanity and virtue. It carries the most important part of human experience, the soul and gives life the feeling of knowing itself through the blessing of breathing and pumping. The central stage of all dimensions of human life, the heart is the intersection of emotions, energy, bodily functions and thought processes.
Everything starts with it and without it, everything disappears. Practicing heart nurturing means being aware of the impact all of its aspects have on all dimensions of your life. Anyone who grows up feeling unattached to the heart will disconnect himself from his own source.
All healing is first of all the healing of the heart.” – Carl Townsend
To be reminded of the virtue of the heart and to be inspired to retrieve it means to be given the opportunity for the mind to consciously reconnect with its forgotten twin whose presence is never a competition but more of a support.
