The Importance of the Heart

The physical heart pumps blood throughout the body to give it life. The heart within our consciousness is the blood of the universe circulating through and in us as life. It is the conscious essence of love and a nourishment within the unseen universe or reality. It is the center of feeling and awareness through which we can experience a communion of greater consciousness and life force. The heart is the key to all understanding and knowledge of life. The main importance of the heart is that it gives life to feelings. Without the aspect of life within feelings every experience would be cold and sterile, lacking emotion and not able to be shared with others. Without heart the joy of the birth of a child, falling in love and looking at a beautiful sunset would all be impossible.
