Wisdom and knowledge is something of the mind. A mental thing? And the heart, as the physician knows it, is only a natural organ, which has a pumping function to pump blood throughout the body. Your heartbeat does not bring about wisdom. Have you ever noticed that wisdom emerges from your heartbeat? Has a doctor ever discovered wisdom while checking your heartbeat through his stethoscope?<\/p>\n
And yet… From scientific research in the field of neurocardiology, it is becoming increasingly clear that the heart is a very central organ with many more properties than just a pumping function:
<\/p>\n
\n- The heart has its own network of several tens of thousands of neurons, 40,000 cells that are equal to those of our brain. So there is a ‘little brain<\/b>‘ in our hearts! These neural cells are constantly sending information to your brain. Your brain uses these signals from the heart to act or not to act, to make choices. So the heart controls the brain, instead of the other way around… Maybe it is the place where wisdom resides?<\/li>\n
- The heart produces hormones such as adrenaline, ANF (which regulates blood pressure) and oxytocin.<\/li>\n
- The heart has an electromagnetic field many times stronger than that of the brain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
But when we talk about the wisdom of the heart, we are talking about something else. Throwing everything that is in the mind overboard. Only then does the no-mind<\/b> itself become your heart. It’s not something physiological. It is your no-mind, which knows no prejudice, no knowledge, no content. Just purity, simple silence \u2013 and no-mind can be called an empty heart. It’s just a matter of how you express it; You can choose what you want to call it: the wisdom of the empty heart or the wisdom of no-mind, both mean the same thing. It’s about letting go of thoughts and emotions, and reaching a state of pure emptiness and awareness. That’s what this module of heartfulness is about.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tFrom the brain to the heart<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSince most people live from the mind, the question now is how can we let go of the mind and sink into the heart?
