    The Thinking Heart: Thoughts on the Heart/Brain Connection

    1 Comment, Healthy Living, by CGP.

     

    The Thinking Heart

    Thoughts on the heart brain connection

    Keep my commands and live,
    and my law as the apple of your eye.
    Bind them on your fingers;
    Write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 7:2-4

     

    The Heart is the Core of our Being

    Science is playing a game of catch-up as it slowly finds evidence for what the Bible has proclaimed as fact for millennia. Research has now shown that the heart is more than a pump circulating the life’s blood – it thinks. In fact it communicates with the brain in four different ways, through the nervous system, pulse waves, hormones, and electromagnetic fields. And this knowledge of the thinking heart and its connection to the brain has great implications when it comes to our health.

    In biblical terms the heart is our “core,” the centre of our being and the essence of who we are, that works in concert with our mind and spirit to guide our feelings, conscience, and decisions. The wisdom of Proverbs makes the clear connection between the thoughtful heart and our physical and spiritual well-being. The heart that is healthy, wise, and prudent, will be a wellspring of life. Amazingly scripture says that a happy heart is as good as a medicine and that a joyful heart that anticipates good things to come is actually “health to our bones.” More
