Hello conTemple, without much context, any suggestions or assumptions made here are likely to be erroneous (so don't quote me on this

), but my guess is the person is referring to his brain/intelligence/rational thought process/the logical side of things, which is in contrast to whatever he/she is saying soon after: "a heartfelt opening to embrace...", which seems to refer to the emotional side of things. Your interpretation is pretty much along the same line as an innovative/original idea more or less results from a rational thought process. Hope this helps.
