Regarding the location of the mind, many Buddhist teachings say its headquarters is in the heart and its activity center is in the brain. In that way, our heart is like the White House and the brain is like the Capitol or the Pentagon.

Can be useful for those who tend to get ‘stuck in their head’ - great phrase.
Whether scientifically accurate or not, I think that many people need to be told to include the sensation of their body.
Heart is one of the more accessible ‘centres’ for people to notice.

Mindfulness of sensation is basic to satipatthana. No debate.
