Your heart pumps the blood that keeps your body alive by filling your muscles, erogenous zones, finger tips and brain with oxygen to function. It is the organ that engages with visceral reality. It is rhythmic and its rhythm increases when we are excited and our passions are aroused. The brain may create thought only after the heart has filled it with blood to do so.
