Like any new skill, it takes practice to master&#x2F;grasp it. Be gentle and kind with yourself. Keep at it, and you will eventually find your center, and be able to meditate without falling asleep.\ud83d\udc9a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ingeborg C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Ik zorg dat ik in een comfortabele houding zit. Ontspannen, maar niet relaxed liggend. Rechtop, maar zonder mezelf in een rechte houding te forceren. Op deze manier ben ik relaxed, maar niet zo ontspannen dat ik slaperig word.<br \/>\nDaarnaast doe ik een guided meditatie voor focus en hulp en focus ik op mijn ademhaling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Theunis U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find myself thinking that I&#39;ve never felt sleepy when I meditate. This is because I always try to meditate with the knowledge that I am well rested enough. I think if you feel tired as you are meditating, then maybe you should give yourself some time to rest a bit more. This is not a criticism on your methodology or approach to meditation, it rather sounds to me like your body is trying to tell you something. Maybe you just need a bit more z&#39;s and then after that you can meditate to bring your mind at ease.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moema Q.
