The biggest complaint most newbie’s have is
that they tend to fall asleep white meditating. This is understandable as
meditation is extremely relaxing and reminiscent in many ways of the early
stages of sleep. Still it can be frustrating to be meditating and then wake up
realizing you must have fallen asleep. Here are ways to avoid falling asleep
during meditation.
Take care of your basic needs before sitting down to
meditation.
If
you don’t get sufficient rest, you will be more prone to fall asleep. If you
aren’t getting enough to eat, your meditations will be about food. If you
aren’t meeting your sexual needs, your meditation sessions may be rich
encounters with your sexual fantasies.
Meditate in the middle of the day.
If you meditate before you go to bed or as
soon as you wake up then you’re already tired and prone to falling asleep.
Instead try meditating at midday when you are most alert. This will allow you
to recharge your batteries after a busy morning. Drinking a cold glass of water
before sitting down to meditate will help refresh you and shake up your system
if you’re feeling drowsy.
