Casually we exclaim, "bless my heart!" when we are surprised or feeling vulnerable. We use the irrefutable integrity of the heart when we give an oath "upon my heart" and are quick to emphasize the impact of a situation by expressing that "my heart is broken." . . . These responses and reactions are such a major contributor to our sense of physical and emotional well-being that when we turn toward this intelligent inner source we find a seventh sense — heart intelligence.
