I noticed today Punjabi Janta is wondering how the heart ever got connected to our emotions like we use sometimes these phrases ..."from the heart"..."with all my heart"...."broken hearted"
After all...it pumps blood...it doesn't think!

ohhk , So lets have discussion over it..How Heart is coonect to brain n then emotions then in turn theses emotions affect heart functioning then again signal is sent to brain.. and this cycle (feed back mechanism) continues..

Actually The heart rate increases in response to stress and heightened emotional states.

-> Stress, excitement, anxiety, fear and anger can cause the sympathetic nervous system to release hormones such as adrenaline into the blood stream.|

These hormones cause the "flight or fight" response by triggering increases in the blood pressure, respiration rate and heart rate.

So this is how emotions affect Heart and its functioning..

Next is how Heart affects emotions..

Recent HeartMath studies define a critical link between the heart and brain. The heart is in a constant two-way dialogue with the brain — our emotions change the signals the brain sends to the heart and the heart responds in complex ways. However, we now know that the heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart.

This research explains how the heart responds to emotional and mental reactions and why certain emotions stress the body and drain our energy. As we experience feelings like anger, frustration, anxiety and insecurity, our heart rhythm patterns become more erratic. These erratic patterns are sent to the emotional centers in the brain, which it recognizes as negative or stressful feelings. These signals create the actual feelings we experience in the heart area and the body. The erratic heart rhythms also block our ability to think clearly.

Lets see diagrammatically how emotions affect our heart

this figure shows Perceptions and emotions profoundly affect Autonomic Nervous System balance and Heart.
