Take a moment to notice your body. Do you encounter any sensations? Can you zero in on your heartbeat - really pay attention to it. Can you feel its every beat?

I recently learned that around 40% of people cannot feel their own heartbeat at all. While around 25-30% of the population observe their heartbeat inaccurately without the help of physical touch or medical instruments.

This skill is known as our cardiac interoception - our ability to perceive the internal signals and rhythms of the heart. It forms a core pillar of body awareness, emotional regulation, and how the nervous system senses physical states like stress or calm.

Cardiac interoception is just one aspect of our wider interoceptive awareness (how we experience the inner landscape of the body). Our ability to feel into ourselves is something that many of us have at times felt disconnected from, but through mindful movement practices we can rebuild this set of skills.

Have you ever felt disembodied? What alerted you to the fact that you felt disconnected?

I’ll be writing more regularly about this, and related topics so do follow along if you’re curious.

To receive my long-form writing on similar topics, subscribe to my newsletter via the link in my bio or via oceanamariani.com/newsletter

If newsletters aren’t your thing, you can join me for ‘Somatic Movement’ classes on Monday eves at Indaba (come along to the studio, or join online from the comfort of your own home). Book via oceanamariani.com/classes

I’m also co-teaching an Autumn retreat in the English countryside from 12th-15th November 2026. Linked in bio or via oceanamariani.com/retreats
