Have you ever felt your heart be normal one moment...only to jump out of your chest the next? In that moment you can hear your own heartbeat. Like its right there, right next to you.
Well today i got the chance to hear my own heart inside a chamber with sound insulating material. I was told this would happen, but i wasn't sure what they meant. At the moment the insulating door closed it turned perfectly silent and i heard it. It was deafening. I heard my own heart pump blood through it like it was in a speaker next to my ear at max volume. It felt like my heart in my chest had just tried to punch a hole through my chest because i became a little disoriented because of the sound. Just about the most amazing sound ever. The sound of my life.
Im not sure if any of you out there have ever held your ear to another person's chest and listened to a heart. It is so beautiful. You can feel the muscle movement and feel the blood pump. Its just about the closest you can get to a person without holding their hand....its to feel their heart.
the first few nights in the rainforest it was so silent that as i laid in bed i could hear my heart and it was, AMAZING.
