I am reminded of the greeting gesture, which I have not seen in many years, wherein one touches one's head, mouth, and chest, implying, "all that I think, and all that I say, comes from the heart."
i've never seen this greeting, but it sounds quite a bit like what we Catholics do prior to the reading of the Holy Gospels.... we use our right thumb to genuflect first at our forehead, then our mouth, then our heart. i'm sure there must be a name for this, but it escapes me. anyone??
