Your heart contains roughly 40,000 sensory neurons that form their own neural network, separate from your brain. These heart cells can think, feel, and remember independently, storing trauma and experience just like your mind does. Healing focused only on cognitive work may miss what's encoded in your heart.

1991, scientists made a discovery, and they discovered every human heart, about 40,000 or so specialized cells configured in a way that creates a neural network in the heart. It's their brain-like cells, but they're not in the brain, they're in the heart. And these 40,000 specialized cells are called sensory neurites. These cells think independently of the cranial brain. They feel and they remember independently of the cranial brain. And what that means is every experience that we have, even this one right now, I'm registering this experience in places. I'm registering it in my mind and as well as in my heart. But if we were having a trauma, it would still be registered in both places. And if I tried to heal that trauma only through thinking about it, it might feel incomplete. The healing may feel incomplete. And the reason is because I've only addressed what happened in here. I haven't addressed what happened in here.
