You definitely need to check out the write-up on this subject matter composed by the HeartMath Institute... I'll message you a link....

Wish I could help but I have not studied Buddhism extensively... The thread caught my attention because of the title and my familiarity with the Heart-Brain research/findings....

Your work is to discover the world, and then with all your heart give yourself to it. Buddha.

Teach this triple truth to all… A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Buddha.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Dalai Lama

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you. Paramahansa Yogananda

Religion is a matter of the heart. Mahatma Gandhi

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. St. Jerome

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. Confucius

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Mahatma Gandhi

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking. Khalil Gibran

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever. Rumi
