The emotional heart is, as the name suggests, strongly connected to emotions. The emotional heart is the central wisdom of feeling, with its own little brain or cardiac nervous system made up of neurons similar to those in the brain. The heart has its own intelligence, and the neurological system and its electromagnetic field are much more powerful than the brain’s.
