Heart

The heart is the seat of feeling and, in many traditions, of soul itself. Egyptian judgment weighed the heart against Ma’at’s feather. Sufi tradition treats the heart (qalb) as the organ of spiritual perception. Christian iconography gives us the Sacred Heart. A dream-heart that is visible — worn outside the body, held in the hand, offered to another — is a classical image of vulnerability and courage. A heart that is wounded, a grief the psyche is asking you to acknowledge. A heart made of some unexpected material (glass, stone, light) often marks the current state of your feeling-self. Notice the color of the heart and whose it is.
