Heartbeat Awareness for Interoception

Briefly direct attention to your heartbeat for about a minute, or occasionally for 1–2 minutes a few times per week. It can be done during meditation, breathwork, or breath holds, and no special breathing pattern is required. The practice is used to sharpen interoceptive awareness and may help strengthen vagal connections between the body and brain.

And that is to learn to sense your heartbeats. And I think this is one of the reasons why meditation is powerful.
