For so long as the mind remains in the head, where thoughts jostle one another, it has no time to concentrate on one thing.  But when attention descends into the heart, it attracts all the powers of the soul and body into one point there.  This concentration of all human life in one place is immediately reflected in the heart by a special sensation that is the beginning of future warmth.  This sensation, faint at the beginning, becomes gradually stronger, firmer, deeper.  At first only tepid, it grows into warm feeling and concentrates the attention upon itself.  And so it comes about that whereas in the initial stages the attention, by its own vigor, gives birth to warmth in the heart.  This warmth then holds the attention without special effort.  From this, the two go on supporting one another, and must remain inseparable;  because dispersion of attention cools the warmth, and diminishing warmth weakens attention.
    Theophan the Recluse  (1815-1894)

I've found it a real challenge to let go of head and to connect with and stay more in heart. Lots of years of school didn't help this process!

Wouldn't it be good if there were classes in connecting with heart?

Right now this is an extracurricular study, but it can be included in any interactions in the lessons and classes of life.
