meditations and times of day

Everything you said made perfect sense to me. Different time, different

energy and frequencies.

In relation to the noon meditation - It depends on what meditation you are

doing. Are you hungry at the time or is it after the meal. The body is on the

move if you are working so if you are under stress, any form of breathing or

meditation will take you to a deep place if you do it consciously and give in

to it. I have had to not do to much on my lunch break because I get the same

feeling of not wanting to come out of the state. I just have to think about

something motivating and good about my job and that it will be 4pm soon! The

trick is to stay relaxed and motivated to work.

I believe that your lunch break should be enough time to digest your food and

include a siesta for it seems natural to do so. The natural instincts of your

body might be playing a role also.

Well it is great that you have the presence of mind to do this on your break

I would just experiment with different yoga and meditation until one feels

like it is working to keep you alert and relaxed at the same time.

Keep up

Sat Nam All!

I have a question about meditation. Has anyone noticed different

affects of meditations (even the same one) if done at different times

of the day? I know about the ambrosial hours. And usually my morning

routine is very light yoga (only one or two sets) and then

predominantly meditation. My evening routine is usually an hour of

yoga and then only about 11-20 minutes of meditation. I will

occasionally meditate briefly around lunch time too. But what I've

noticed is that I get completely different affects from meditation

during the noon hours, than the other times.

 

My morning meds typically have a calming and/or light and happy

affect on me. I feel refreshed and new.

 

In the evening, I sometimes catch myself 'head bobbing', but it's my

whole upper body that starts to lean, not just my head. (But at least

I'm keeping my spine straight!) My meds in the evening basically

relax me and get me ready for bed. It also clears out any left over

work/day issues. Occasionally I'll feel more energized and stay up a

bit longer, but that's not the norm' for me.

 

The lunch-time meds have an even different affect. I usually will

only sit for about 11 minutes for these. But I find it very difficult

to 'come out of it' afterwards. It's almost like I go deeper in

meditation during those times than the other times. I feel almost

groggy or dazed for about 30-45 minutes afterwards. I'm curious if

others have had similar experiences. And if so, if anyone has any

thoughts on why? I would expect the deeper meditations to occur in

the early morning hours or maybe in the evening. The noon time frame

just doesn't make sense to me.

 

.....and yes, Deva, I know I'm analyzing again!
