Psychosomatics: heart
The organ that 'knows' before the rational mind does
The heart belongs to the group of organs — along with the stomach, skin, and liver — that pick up information before the rational mind has processed it. Heart trouble can point to lost contact with your own natural core: you are not living your own life, and the body says so through its central organ.
Possible psychological causes
- Lost contact with your natural core
- Living a life that isn't truly yours
- Chronically suppressing your real needs
- Emotional overload with no way to release it
Self-reflection questions
- ?Are you living your own life, or someone else's?
- ?When did you last feel real joy in what you do?
- ?What in your life needs to change right now?
