  • Falling asleep during meditation is a very common occurrence and if it happens to you once a while you don't need to be too concerned. When we are learning to meditate we are looking for a balance between focus and relaxation and, in that process of learning, it’s inevitable that from time to time we’ll drift a little too far in either direction, sometimes feeling too tense and at other times falling asleep. Learning how to apply the right amount of effort is a very subtle thing and requires practice. And of course every day will be different, so this process of learning is ongoing. There are however a number of things we can do to make it less likely to occur.

    Here are a few practical tips for staying alert:

    1. Meditate sitting up rather than lying down. It may sound obvious, but lying down encourages a more sleepy state of mind.

    2. Avoid meditating on the bed, in the bed, or around the bed. For most people the bed means only one thing, so find a more wakeful environment if you can.

    3. Try meditating first thing in the morning when the mind is a little brighter, rather than at night when you are already sleepy before you begin.

    4. Open a nearby window if it’s not too cold out. The fresh air and additional oxygen will help you feel more awake.

    5. Avoid eating a big meal beforehand, as this tends to make the body feel very heavy and naturally leads to sleep.

    6. This may also sound obvious, but make sure you get enough sleep and if you haven't, be sure to take the appropriate steps to get enough rest.

    Once you’ve created the right environment and given yourself the very best chance of staying awake, you may still find yourself falling asleep. Once again, this is quite ok and you needn't worry. You may find that focusing on the very top of your head helps the mind feel a little lighter and more alert. In fact, even the simple act of imagining the sun directly above your head can ward off sleep. Some people have asked whether it’s helpful to drink coffee beforehand, as a way of preventing sleep. Whilst there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach, it does somewhat go against the basic premise of meditation, which is to witness the mind as it is, right now, and find a fundamental place of ease with that state. So, some would say that by artificially stimulating the system we are actually moving away from this basic notion. We are also making it far more difficult to relax, as both body and mind are likely to be quite agitated afterwards.

    Each person is different, so find out what works best for you. The basic rule of thumb is that if sleep continues for weeks, there is probably a need to alter the exercise a little. If you're still having trouble, feel free to let us know and ask for some additional tips. However, it is likely it could simply be some residual tiredness you experience when you first begin and that may change over time.

  • There are two things! The first is the misunderstanding about clearing the mind. Forget about clearing the mind, it is about being at ease with the mind instead. The second is that it is all about oneself. Meditations is not about ourselves. Well OK, maybe a little bit. But it is so much bigger than that. It is about our relationships with those that we love, our respect for one another and our ability to understand and listen to each other. Only then can we experience true peace of mind.

  • When we are first learning to meditate it’s important not to sit for too long. We can start to slowly increase our time meditating if desired, in a similar way as we might do with physical exercise. So, 10 minutes a day is a perfect starting point.

    It’s perfectly fine to continue meditating for just 10 minutes a day, you will definitely see considerable benefits such as being more aware, present, focused, etc. no matter how long you meditate.

    However, if you have both the time and the inclination and would like to sit for a longer period of time, then that can definitely be very beneficial to your practice. Most people say that at first it feels more difficult to sit for a longer duration, but after a few days of adjusting, they can’t imagine sitting for less. It’s useful to remember that both the body and mind will adapt very quickly.

    The one thing that changes as you sit for a longer period of time is the amount of clarity you may achieve. The reason for this is that it doesn’t take very long for the mind to settle down, and only then do we see the mind clearly. In some cases this can feel a bit like a magnifying glass or microscope slowly coming into focus, all of its own accord.

    Ultimately though, quality is more important than quantity. Even one single moment of awareness is valuable. So choose a duration that works for you, build up slowly and without putting any unnecessary pressure on yourself, try to tease it up over time.

  • Before standing up, form a clear idea about what you're going to do next. For example, are you going to the bathroom to brush your teeth, to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, or to pick up your keys before leaving the house? It's so easy to just jump up off the seat and lose the calm and spacious quality you've so carefully cultivated. So try to carry this awareness with you to the next activity.
