Episode Synopsis


Have you ever thought about why hugging someone feels so comforting, especially in times of distress? The thymus gland is situated in the upper chest, behind the breastbone and in front of the ascending aorta, a major blood vessel of the heart. It is located in the mediastinum, between the lungs. The word "thymus"
translates from Greek to mean soul. This area is also where our heart chakra is found, connecting the spiritual and physical aspects of our being.
