Program Description: 
Since ancient times, man has realized that he feels emotions in his chest, rather than in his head. It was natural, therefore, to believe that the heart was the most important organ, the seat of the mind, emotions and vital energy. This concept was central to both the religion and science of ancient peoples such as those of Mesopotamia, Pharaonic Egypt, India and China. From a medical point of view, to cure heart disease these ancient populations turned to the care of the mind and emotions. Modern medicine is rediscovering these ancient intuitions on a scientific basis, understanding the close correlation between the heart and the brain.
