How to learn to feel and count your heart beats?

Hello all

As the title suggest I'm interested in learning to feel and count my heart beats. I thought maybe since a lot of dreamers are into mediation and things this might be a place were I could get some info on the subject. So, ah. Whacha know about this? Can u do it? Is it useful at all?

Thanks to all who humor my curiosity.

I've never tried to feel my heart beats, but I am easily able to feel it before going to sleep while doing the 61-point body relaxation technique. By focusing all (or most) of your attention to a particular area of your body, I find it easy to feel the pulse.

My question to you is how would you use this ability?

--On second thought, why don't you just use two fingers on a major artery?

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I kinda sorta forgot I posted this

If I had the ability to feel and count my heart beats it would use it to measure time. I could feel it with my fingers but then I would lose the use of a hand. Even if its not useful anyway I still want to be able to feel and count my heartbeats. Im just greedy like that I guess.

I'll have to take a look at that 61-point body thing maybe that will give me some direction.
