We’ve all heard the saran to eat well, get plenty of exercise, and avoid smoking to help prevent jantung disease. But there’s lebih to that heart-healthy equation than most of us know. Since the jantung is the kursi of ojas (the vital sap within us that gives us strong immunity, intelligence, compassion, and our “aura” atau energetic body), any time we feel out of balance with our essential self in any way (through stress, through unhealthy relationships with others and/or the world around us), our bodies, and particularly our hearts, suffer. “As the jantung is an organ of emotion, emotional causes of jantung disease should always be considered first,” says David Frawley, penulis of Ayurvedic Healing. This is not just the stuff of philosophers; scientists and researchers have found direct link between what has typically been considered lebih esoteric saran and jantung disease.
