I am my heartbeat...for it is the only true representation of who you are, and it is the only thing you cannot control about yourself. If you are someone who has not experienced many things in life it is likely that your heart rate will increase which can inhibit your ability to make good decision. You cannot control your heart rate, you can only hope to train yourself how to react with your heart rate up. For example if you have a type of job that you put you in danger the more you are exposed to certain situations, less likely to lose your cool and more likely to make good decisions. Even though no matter who you are danger is still intimidating when you are in the moment.
Or maybe an athlete being able to keep it cool when having to pull off a miracle to win and keep it together.
So yes you can make something out of this saying. Your heart beat tells everything about you. Nothing else can give you away like your heartbeat.
I guarantee that the heartbeat of the troops over seas is up everyday, but not too many of the people sitting around answering these question could handle themselves if we were in there place, including me.
Or you could look at it as you are told to follow your heart in life. Sounds cheesey but every real decision you have made or will make in your life you will look back and in a weird way you will be able to rate your actions according to if your heart was in it or note. If you did something just to go along or if it was something you wanted to be a part of, or represent yourself with. There will be a day when that matters, the sooner we all learn that the better. Life is not something to just go along with and life and living does revolve around your heart(to pump blood and keep the system going).
Your heart has a specific purpose, and one day if we are lucky we will find our specific purpose...kinda like how we define our meaning of our life to ourselves

You have no control over your heartbeat, so by reducing yourself to it you are renouncing any possibility of being a free will agent.

Furthermore, if you are your heartbeat - what is it that is analyzing that you are your heartbeat?

This is kinda depressing. You are your heartbeat?

Grammatically, this would entail the reader/listener to believe you're stating that your persona, your intellectual wealth, your entire being, is no more valuable and no more individual than the beating of your heart. So, take away your heartbeat, and your physical, 'scientific' "life", and you're left with nothing. This would suggest a disbelief in the soul or spirit, as well as in the afterlife, for it means that once your heartbeat stops, 'you' cease to be.

So really, this'd suggest a rather athiestic belief in the lack of the soul and in any afterlife or God. There's not much you can build off of this-perhaps that the only thing that runs straight through every member of the human population is that everyone's heart beats the same? ((Except for those that have heart problems or high cholesteral. Teehee.))

...That's all I got. Sorry! :(

i suppose it could be some affirmation of self... a sort of nowness of existence. if you repeat it like a mantra if could be very effective for meditation

I think its yoga that teaches about living in the moment.. not past nor future... i suppose that could be an attempt at being present!

but... as a poetic phrase... its too vague!
:)

My heartbeat is irregular so that sounds about right! LOL

You say you thought of the phrase the other day. Since you thought of it, what happened at that particular moment to make you think of it? Examine your own feelings on the subject and then you should be able to answer what the phrase means to you.

"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet, has a good deal of discussion on this.

It means that you are your "awareness" or "consciousness" or "aliveness" - whatever it is that separates you from a dead corpse.
