I'd consider "controlling" something to be more direct, but that's semantics I guess.
If I heard "control heartbeat", I'd think more like breathing, where one could "hold their heart" like they "hold their breath".
If meditation lowers heartbeat and temperature, I imagine that it's "control" in the strictest sense, but I'd use "influence" or some other term if I was personally describing it.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoYou can actually up your heartbeat and temperature too, but you are right, it's more influencing that direct control. A muscle is instant and precise.
- pjerem 5y agoHave you already felt being conscious of your breathing and feeling like being unable to let it go back to automatic control ? Well … > one could "hold their heart" … now that sounds creepy.
