There is no way to count the bountiful resources of the heart. It holds humanity and its precious virtues. It carries the most essential part of the human experience, the soul and it gives life a sense of knowing itself through the blessing of breathing and pumping. Center stage of all dimensions of the human life, the heart is the crossroad between emotions, energy, body functionality and thinking process.
Everything begins with it and deprived of it, everything vanishes. To practice nurturing of the heart is to realize the influence of all its aspects in all the dimensions of your life. Anyone who grows up with a sense of detachment to the heart disconnects him/herself from his/her very source.
All healing is first a healing of the heart.” – Carl Townsend
