Is it the brain that stores our thoughts and information that drives our human spirit or our hearts that not only pump blood throughout our bodies but guide our feelings and emotions?
Rollin McCraty, executive VP and director of research for the HeartMath Institute, describes how our energetic hearts allow us to connect to our deeper selves and the world via a consciousness upgrade this week on Spirit Gym.
