Studies show connections between the heart and emotions

The heart has always been different things to different people. To a medico, it’s a muscular organ that pumps blood in the body. To a poet, it’s a vessel of emotions, desire and wisdom. A spiritual teacher sees it as the touchstone between heaven and earth and the font from which all issues in a person’s life flows. The grieving might call it broken.

Matters of the heart pepper the way we speak. We’ve all experienced a change of heart. Each of us can think of someone or something that does our heart good or makes us faint of heart. And we have probably described someone as having a hard heart or a heart of gold. All these sayings are familiar folky descriptors, but some researchers are learning that they also make scientific sense.
