Think with your heart not with your brain, and vice versa. I think this common saying used throughout the ages is wrong and impossible both scientifically and biologically. Once you sit down and think about the literal meaning of what you just blurted out it will occur to you that the heart, a cardiac muscle is incapable of thinking. Emotions associated with the heart actually bubble up in the left side of the brain hence the correct thing to say would be think with your brain, period.
