There are many theories as to the origins of the heart shape.  The most popular theory was found in the writings of physicist Galen and philosopher Aristotle who described the human heart as having three chambers with a small dent in the middle.  When medical books were created, it is said that this description was used to draw the anatomical properties of the heart.  From an emotional perspective, the heart is known as the place where we store our love, pain, and everything in between – therefore it has been romanticized over the years as a symbol of love.  To us at Clipstals™, it is the place in our human body that is constantly giving us information as to how we feel about people and situations. Emotions are information.  And, if we “listen” closely enough, it is also where our "permission beats" to heal live.
