Summary/Abstract: In this study I will show the mystical content of the notions of mind and heart, as well as the relationship between them, presenting some physiological-medical approaches that confirm the spiritual doctrine of the union of mind and heart. An exponent of this interdisciplinary approach, living in the twentieth century, was St. Luke of Crimea. This author presents the traditional philokalic spirituality of the relationship between mind and heart through a physiological-medical discourse. Thus, this author confirms in scientific terms the spirituality of uniting the mind with the heart. At the same time, I will complete this interdisciplinary approach with some contemporary scientific studies that show that there is a real communication between mind and heart.
