Both the heart and the gut have their own little nervous systems that link to the more popular nervous system connected to the brain. Which is fascinating as certain esoteric teachings speak to centers of energy in the heart, head, and gut, and of course all three show up in our everyday expressions of knowing and action.

When your heart wants to connect, it may be joyful to let it lead while your head remains a wise counselor.

If you do not know the language of your heart, today is a great opportunity to begin to learn through paying attention to its sensations.
