A far more perplexing reason why you might become sleepy during your meditation is because your mind controls your life. You may uncover that it is your mind which is wielding control, drawing you away from your meditation. Essentially your mind exerts control over you, impeding your ability to effectively practice meditation. As you continue to meditate, you can strive to take back control from your mind, nevertheless be aware that your mind is going to resist relinquishing control at any cost.

Realise that absolutely nothing within the cosmos is by accident, all follows well-prescribed patterns and flows of energy which form the basis of all matter, thoughts and our reality.

It can seem uncomfortably awkward or even alien when you start meditation, especially if you lead a busy life, or there are lots of things which typically occur around you.

The change of pace when meditating can trigger feelings of anxiety or nervousness, as if something is missing or even a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out).

 

If you do feel uneasy when practising meditation, then be aware it is your own mind which is generating these sensations, as it strives to maintain its control over your life and your way of thinking.

The greatest value is understanding how your spiritual practice has enabled you to change your heart and transform your thoughts and feelings to those people around you. Always strive to reconnect to your inner self in your spiritual endeavours, allowing you to transform your thoughts and bring to light authentic awakening
