I do not practice meditation in the evening because my husband is home and it would interfere with spending time together in the evening.
Personally, I only meditate in the evening if I missef my morning or afternoon meditation. I believe it is better to do it in the morning because it’s effects last throughout the day. When I do in the evening it is because I follow the mindset as doing it is better than not doing and even if my evening meditation is half the effect of the morning one it’s still better than zero.
I do in the form of box breathing. Breath in for 3 seconds hold for 3 secs, exhale for 3 secs, hold for 3 secs. Rinse repeat. Change the count if too easy or hard. It takes my mind down to 25mph after going 60+ all day
If I don’t meditate it’ll take me at least 30minutes to sleep. So, at first I’ll sit on my bed to 'ground' my mind. Once I’m ready, I lay down and start my medication. I’m asleep before I realize it :) Hope that helps~
I practice it like any other type/kind of meditation. I do it before sleep to get rid of chaotic and troublesome thoughts, to make it easier to get to sleep.
Usually I just get relaxed until I cannot feel anything. Then I fall asleep and no matter how long have I slept, I’m full of energy in the morning. Sadly it’s not that easy on a very hot summer day when I cannot even concentrate, but I’m still trying.
I like to practice meditation before bed because it helps me relax and release all of the days thoughts and worries. As a person with anxiety, it is hard for me to switch my brain off sometimes - this is why I like guided meditations that allow me to just sit and come back into my body and let the day go.
I find that lying down in bed as if I’m ready to sleep helps me to easily drift from meditation to sleep. As I gradually relax my body and focus on my breath I allow all worries and thoughts to drift through my mind. This not only helps me to drift off to sleep quicker as I’m not overthinking everything but it also helps me to sleep better and wake up feeling more refreshed.
Well how I practice is I get in bed and for me I like 2 lay down and look up at my wall while I think abt my day and listen to the music and I feel calm. Why I do it is because I have a hard time to fall asleep so I meditate to help things get off my chest right before I go to sleep so I can have a clear mind
I calm down with meditation. This make me sleep with just a few thoughts so I can sleep well. Free my mind from worries or other thoughts.
