Vincentius Liong/Leong: Your Heart is Literally Thinking Right Now
Vincentius Liong/Leong, Business Advisor at VL Business Consulting Services, shared on LinkedIn:
“Your heart is literally thinking right now. No, seriously.
Scientists just confirmed something that sounds like science fiction but it’s 100% real. Your heart has its own brain with over 40,000 neurons that are actively shaping your thoughts, emotions, and decisions at this very moment.
Everything we thought we knew about how our body works just changed.
———–
This isn’t some ancient philosophy or spiritual belief. This is cutting-edge neuroscience that’s rewriting the textbooks.
The heart contains what researchers call the ‘intrinsic cardiac nervous system’, a sophisticated network of neurons that operates independently from the brain. These 40,000+ neurons don’t just keep your heart beating. They process information, make decisions, and send commands UP to the brain that actually change how you think and feel. The heart isn’t taking orders. It’s giving them.
Studies at the HeartMath Institute have shown that the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. These signals can either enhance or inhibit brain function depending on the heart’s rhythm patterns. When you’re stressed or anxious, your heart sends chaotic signals that literally make it harder to think clearly. But when you’re calm and centered, your heart creates coherent patterns that improve cognitive function, emotional stability, and even reaction times.
This explains why heartbreak feels physical, why gut feelings often come from the chest, and why breathing exercises that focus on the heart can instantly shift your mental state. Your heart is reading your environment, processing emotional information, and communicating with every system in your body through electromagnetic fields that extend several feet beyond your skin. Other people can actually detect your heart’s signals, which might explain why we can ‘feel’ someone’s presence or energy.
The implications are massive. This research is changing how we treat anxiety, PTSD, depression, and even how we approach education and peak performance. Doctors and therapists are now incorporating heart-focused techniques into treatment plans with remarkable results.
