Cardiophenomenology

       An approach inspired by neurophenomenology which seeks correlations between cardiac physiology and subjective experiences — of emotions in particular. Many R/S/M traditions consider the heart to be the correlate of a deeper level of consciousness and health, with the brain being the correlate of a more superficial, habitual, action-related consciousness, with the aim of contemplative practice being to move from the latter to the former. Dzogchen, Orthodox Christianity (Prayer of the heart, prayer dropping to the heart), Sacred Heart of Jesus, etc.
