The power of heart
The intrinsic difference between leading by heart and leading by mind can be resembled by the following example: pressing the throttle and the brake in the same time, the throttle being the bad thoughts and the brake being the feelings...u cannot have thoughts that you are calm while deep in your heart you feel tense or angery.
The state of being, to be calm per se, must be felt at heart initially, then the mind will follow, that’s why personally i prefer techniques created by the Heartmath institute, because it all depends on creating a renewing feeling in the heart, and do it consistently in a way that will increase the coherence in the heart and then make the person more resilient in the face of stressful situations.
The heart holds tremendous powers, it proved that it is the leader of the body, even in the islamic traditions, the prophet Mohammad, talked about the heart that “there is a piece of meat in the body, if it worked properly, the whole body will work properly, if it didnt, the whole body wont”. Prophet Issa talked about the power of belief “if you were honest at heart, you can say to the mountain move and the mountain will move”.
Such an amazing organ that we only could scratch the surface pf its potential.
