Perceiving the Heart Livestream Clip

Somatic practitioners often cue their clients to "feel into their heart". Why? Does somatic neuroscience give us clues for how this works, and how better to guide this practice?
We'll be exploring this in a series of posts this coming week, in prep for next Saturday 8/6's 3-hour online course, 'Heart of Perception'.

First up, this clip from our livestream 'Perceiving the Heart'. How does the vagus nerve transmit sensory information from the heart to the brain, and how does the brain integrate that to perception of self?
Check out the peer-reviewed papers below for more background on this.
This preps us intimately for next Saturday's workshop 'Heart of Perception', OPEN TO ANYONE, live OR asynchronous.
