I am struggling with the timing of meditation. How do you fit it in…without falling asleep…?
Finding the right time for meditation can be challenging. To avoid falling asleep, consider meditating at times when you feel alert, such as in the morning or during a midday break. Start with shorter sessions, around 5-10 minutes, and gradually increase as you build your habit. Creating a calming environment can also help keep you focused. Experiment with different times and techniques to discover what works best for you, ensuring meditation becomes a meaningful part of your daily routine.
I find that keeping a fixed time daily and a fixed duration helps me in keeping my meditation schedule. I always like to begin the day with meditation after breakfast as hunger pangs might distract you. And the more chaotic I feel inside, it’s a reminder to me to go back to my yoga mat to meditate more, even if for 5 minutes. Tranquility inside of you radiates to everyone you come across and the tasks ahead in the day. To answer your question, about falling asleep during meditation. It’s normal when you begin your practice , but if you clear your mind and focus, you will eventually gain discipline over time. I use meditation music with the frequency I need for that day, based on how I am feeling at that moment. Also best to do in the morning as opposed to close to bedtime as you will fall asleep, and that’s because you are tired. Do not beat yourself up about it. It’s a learning journey… and you will get there Soon. Hope this helps. All the best 🙏🏽🩷
