Heart-oriented people or emotional people believe only impulses from their heart are at play in their decision-making. They may make or change decisions quickly, often disconcerting rational folk.
In yoga and Sufism, both the heart's impulses (heaviness, fast beats, peace/silence/naturalness) and the mind's logic are considered valid factors in decision making. While I don't have details of techniques from either path, there is a little-known gem from Daaji that gives a nice algorithm to combine heart and mind as instruments:

Delightfully simple and lucid techniques to satisfy both the logical mind and the impulsive heart.
Please watch, try to remember the points, and then watch again. Like me, you may have missed some crucial ones :-)
And for the rationalists who ask why the heart at all? Why not stick only to logic? The answer is the heart "sees" patterns across a huge expanse of data. Distributed processing across vast timeframes, even an entire lifetime, as well. Yet, its response is immediate. Making sense of the response using the slower and relatively more sequential processing of the logical mind is the crux of the issue. And Daaji has addressed it brilliantly in this video!
