What helps you meditate not sleepy?

Question

I'm trying to meditate to help in my health but my mind races around to much what helps with this

Answer 1

Well you can try this and I can't promise it will work but it does help me.

First, get comfy. Lay on your back, comfy clothes, good temp, no distractions. Then start to breath through your nose for 2 seconds, out your mouth for 4 seconds. This will lower your heart rate and blood pressure.

Next do the body clench. Start with your feet, clench the muscles or your feet and hold for 5, release. Next, clench your lower leg muscles and hold for 5, release. Work your way up your body. Legs, butt, arms, stomach, shoulders, fingers, hands, everything. Do this over and over for about 10 minutes.

Lastly think of blue. I personally think of a dark blue night sky with stars. Kind of like Van Gogh.

Hope this helps and all the best to you!

The whole purpose of Meditation is to enable us to clear up the clutter that is floating around in our brain. This process takes time. The first step is by relaxing with the use of deep breathing exercises and allowing our thoughts to come and go. We do not need to control our thoughts. In fact we need to do the opposite. We should let our thoughts come and go freely without trying to control them. These restless thoughts are a results of too many "opened files" in the brain when we are first starting out to meditate. Eventually, with time these files get organized and put away by the brain naturally. So that when we meditate, we will be able to do it peacefully and calmly.

My advise would be to not fight this. It is all a part of the process. Just try your best to relax and then trust your mind to do the rest on it's own.
