Mindful Meditation

October 1st

I decided that since I almost fell asleep the last time I meditated that it would be a great idea to do it before I went to bed...and it totally was! I sat on my bed in an upright position and began to become aware of my breath. My mind wandered a bit so I brought myself back to my breathing and focused on how I felt as in inhaled and exhaled. Soon enough 15 minutes had passed so I decided to shoot for about 10 more but this time while lying down in a supine position. I felt myself drifting off into sleep and realized why its probably best to meditate while sitting upright, but because I had already fulfilled my 15 minute requirement I allowed myself to drift back into sleep. Since this event, I allow for 30 minutes of meditation per day, 15 of actual documented meditation and 15 minutes before sleep-I completely recommend this to everyone seeing as I havent slept this well in years.
