We've all heard it: “Follow your heart.” It sounds simple, profound, and somehow sacred. But after nearly twenty years of studying heart wisdom and teaching others how to access their intuitive guidance, I've discovered a darker truth: this well-meaning advice isn't always right.

In this week's article, I'm pulling back the curtain on the shadow side of heart-based decisions. Drawing from neuroscience, ancient wisdom traditions, and real-world experience, I'll reveal when following your heart can lead you astray - and what to do instead. You'll discover:

• Three surprising stories of people who found their true path by doing the opposite of what their “heart” initially told them
• A practical framework that combines ancient spiritual wisdom with modern scientific understanding to help you make better decisions
• How to develop reliable heart wisdom through small experiments rather than dramatic life changes

Whether you're facing a major life decision or simply want to develop more reliable intuitive intelligence, you'll learn how to access your heart's wisdom with the reverence of a mystic and the precision of a researcher.
