Heart Meridian

General Information:  This involves the cycling of the blood as well as electrical communication with the rest of the cells of the whole Soul. The heart is in constant communication with all of the organs and muscle to determine their blood / oxygen needs from moment to moment. The heart generated 5000 times more powerful electrical messages throughout the Soul than the brain.

In the Chinese belief system, the heart is also strongly associated with mental processes, while in the West we have the traditional metaphor of the heart as an emotional center and center of wisdom. On Chinese medicine, the heart is called "sovereign ruler" which direct action with clear insight.
