Yes. Using a technique called "bio-feedback", it is possible to learn to control (within limits) your heart rate. Your heart rate naturally increases during times of excitement or vigorous exercise, such as running. Your heart rate will naturally decrease when you are relaxed and tranquil, and even more when you are asleep.

If your heart stops, you will be dead.
