In case you're still wondering if leading with your heart instead of your head is the "right" thing to do or the natural order of things, consider that IHM's research indicates that when our feelings are positive our BRAIN comes into "entrainment" (into flow with) our heart -- not the other way around.
This synergistic heart-to-head relationship is maintained as long as we are in "sincere, heart-focused states of appreciation or love."
When our feelings are negative there is a lack of unity within us. Our heads and hearts will always be discordant in this
state because our hearts are ALWAYS on the side of love, but our heads have a hard time making up their minds between love and hate.
Serendipitously, as we were researching entrainment, we came across this bit of wisdom from our favorite soulful Irishman, Van Morrison, "Entrainment is when you connect with the music...Entrainment is really what I'm getting at in the music...It's kind of when you're in the present moment - you're here - with no past or future."
Leave it to a songwriter to so lyrically express the joyful rhythm of our hearts.
