Finding Within Your Heart The Ultimate Wisdom: You Are Divine

Raising our consciousness and frequency fills our hearts with the truth of who we are.

There's a lot of talk about how people need to "get out" of their heads, and think with their hearts. I think there's something to that.

There's something different about the quality of thought that comes from the head compared to the thought that comes from the heart.
