I seem to be having trouble getting my heart rate down and succumbing to a soft meditation. Any suggestions? All advice is welcome!

Heart Sutra, Korean chanting. Play it in the background and focus on the beat. Does it for me every time.
Not sure anyone who was in the proximity of someone as gorgeous as you would be quite exempt from a rapid heartbeat.
I have nothing instructive to say but did want to say "Hi" and "Metta" in the best way I could right now.
metta to you and all sentient beings.
We still believe in our projections that say something is out there that can harm me in here. Our body starts to build up a response pattern. The prana in the body takes on a tightness and fear and anxiety that doesn't just go away. So you can't expect to drop it and feel fine. But you can disbelieve the fear and anxiety just as an arising. You don't need a false sense of security. But you don't have to believe the fears. It's all uncomfortable but we live with it. We have to work on ourselves to find our clarity, openness, and sensitivity to a point where we can just be with the uncertainty/anxiety. The only thing certain is uncertainty. It takes a lot of confidence to drop the who ego thing of shoring itself up.
Our best shot is pretty good and quite workable. You can go from there awaiting feedback. It doesn't have to be perfect so you never measure it you just go onward to the next feedback. ie 'from here I can see it was not the right move'. You can afford to do that. You can never do more than your best shot. So you don't have to analyze your imperfection rather just move on to your next best effort and so on.
