The Power of the Heart
There are three brains in the body: the head, the gut, and the heart. Many entrepreneurs are caught up in the head (logic, judging, analytical reasoning) and gut (instinct). The downside of overlying on logic is that our brains operate based on memory, and our memories are often based on fear or trauma. The heart brain, which contains 40,000 neurons, is responsible for intuition–the most underutilized resource for most people.
Luckily, the heart is also a muscle. Like any muscle, the more you train it, the stronger and more intelligent it becomes. Leyla’s Standing Light Method guides people back into the heart and creates coherence between the head and the heart.
How to Develop Your Heart Intelligence
To make better decisions and lead a healthy life, you need to have a strong relationship with your inner self (your heart).
One easy way to connect with your intuition on a daily basis is to practice placing your hands on your heart as soon as you wake up. Feel your heartbeat. Slow down and tune in until you can really hear it. Practice gratitude for your heart, the organ responsible for keeping you alive and the seat of so much inner wisdom.

“So ultimately, we have three brains in the body. We've got the head brain, which in our current society is the All-Knowing King. And then we've got the heart brain, and then the gut brain, and the intelligence of the head brain is logic, and we need that. We need that intellectual logic that deciphers and judges and assesses is this good, is this bad, is this wrong, is it right? The Heart Brain, its intelligence is intuition, and then the gut brain is instinct.”
13:49-14:02
“The future is heart, but without understanding that the heart has its own brain, people would assume that it's just all very airy and beautiful, but that's not fact. That's not the truth. It's a matter of training this heart intelligence, which is also a muscle, and just like any muscle, the more you train it, the stronger it becomes, and the more intelligent it becomes.”
