"Most people think the heart is mushy and sentimental, but it's not. The heart is intuitive, it's holistic, it's contextual, it's relational, it doesn't have a win-loose orientation. It taps into the cosmic computer and takes everything into account. At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought. Whether we know it or not, life is a continuum of choices, some made consciously, others unconsciously." (Deepak Chopra).
Chopra advises us to become more aware that our futures are generated by choices we make in every moment of our lives. To make choices by consciously putting our attention in the area of the heart, to ask the heart what to do and to wait for a response (a physical response in the form of a sensation - maybe even the faintest level of feeling). "The heart knows the correct answer." We can then make more and more spontaneously correct choices for ourselves and others.
