Emotional centre
Heart brain — feeling and evaluation
The emotional centre is the heart brain in the three-centres framing: it registers immediate feeling, attraction and repulsion, and rapid evaluative response. We place its point in the mid-chest as a deliberately broad heart projection, while noting the source tradition's heart / solar-plexus variation rather than presenting this coordinate as an anatomical fact.
