An amazing article on the heart. As I’m healing from Broken Heart Syndrome, I’m becoming more aware and more mindful of what the heart is all about. Much more than we have been taught!
From the article linked above;
Even though it was first described in 1660 (not a typo!), I never thought the heart moved the blood forward in a spiral motion. The fibers of the heart muscle actually align in the form of a helix. When the heart muscle contracts, it moves like wringing water out of a saturated cloth. The bottom of the heart twists as it contracts in a counterclockwise direction while the top twists clockwise. Scientists call this the “left ventricular twist,” and it can be used as an indicator of heart health.
The power of a mindful mind
