When you meditate, do you ever wonder whether or not it’s actually working?
Rest assured that you might be going deep into meditationeven if you don’t realize it.
Like falling asleep, the transition into a deep meditation can be subtle.
Admittedly, this is where the practice gets tricky.
If you resist your thoughts, you may re-excite your mind.
If this is happened in your meditation, not to worry!
You were just having an extremely blissful experience that you most likely didn’t remember after you came out.
The body’s breathing rate is linked to the amount of rest being acquired during a given experience.
While jogging, your breathing rate will be heavy.
While sitting and reading a book, your breathing rate is significantly lower.
While sleeping, your breathing rate slows even more.
During these pockets of extremely deep rest, you may stop breathing altogether.
How can I deepen my meditation if I’m not showing any of these signs yet?
Even if you didn’t experience any of these symptoms, it didn’t mean yourmeditationwas ineffective.
Every meditator has experiences that feel more surface from time to time.
The trick is to adopt this attitude of indifference about all meditation experiences.
Also, understand that consistency plays a huge role in the quality of your experiences.
Don’t look for major changes in your first few days or weeks, or even months of meditation.
They will eventually occur but usually when you least expect them to happen.
