Heart
| Occultism & Parapsychology Encyclopedia: Heart |
Belief in the heart as a psychic structure dates to ancient times and stems from the characteristic responses of that organ to emotional crises. Some mystical writers have posited the idea of a subtle or spiritual heart center located slightly to the right of the physical heart.
In the Bible (Eccles. 10:2) it is said that the heart of the wise is at the right side and the heart of the foolish at the left. This proverb parallels the ancient Hindu yoga concept of the anahata chakra, or subtle heart center, which yogis have experienced as slightly to the right side in the body.
