Gantlet of Sleep In Meditation - Yogi Explains

We need to get to know about this state of brainwave balance so we know what to do when we find ourselves in the Gantlet of Sleep.

Thank you to Doug Gemmell for the amazing music!

Have been reading “Autobiography of a Yogi “ and always get more from it besides inspiration.
Yogananda, was visiting Bhaduri Mahasaya, often and once Bhaduri commented to him “ You go often into the silence, but have you developed anubhava (Actual perception of God ) ?
He was reminding me to love God more than meditation. “ Do not mistake the technique for the Goal.”

I love this. I like mixing it up. Sleep has always intrigued me. I definitely recommend your video on Nidra.

Thanks Forrest… profound advice as always ….

I often get 9 hours of sleep, which helps me immensely! I used the Navi a lot during the holiday, it was great, thank you so much Forrestji.

I think you mean the "gauntlet" of sleep

[franklarson]

Sleep is my SUPER POWER, Love from me.

[HMALDANA]

Awesome, Forrest. I've been doing Yoga Nidra for a couple of years now, and it has helped me not to fall asleep during my regular meditation sessions as you say. Being able to float in that limbo of sorts is a very enjoyable experience, indeed! I see you mention the subconscious mind several times. In your approach, is it the same as the unconscious mind ala Jung, or is it something else? Thanks for sharing. Blessings and blissings!

5:55 I relate this to the dopamine addiction addicts chase after. Or if you subscribe to ADHD, it could be looked upon similarly. Chasing after the next thing to grab hold of our awareness and that excite us.

[aloksahu]

Yes sir sometimes I get this during kriya, it feels like i should sleep because sleep is coming but when I stop kriya, it disappeares❤🙏

I find meditation after a strenuous workout significantly easier. Do you have anything to say about why that might be? I really struggle with just getting up and meditating but if I do something physical beforehand it's much easier. I think I get to tranquil breath much easier too.

[mariehawkswood]

I've found I need at least 9 hours sleep every night.

we are supposed to be in the deep silence which happens during first kriya, but thats too deep and makes one sleepy, this is why second and third have movements, but despite having movement they also create that deep silence (in between the repetitions of the 2nd and 3rd kriya), we are supposed to dwell in these new deep silences too am I right? Basically trying to elongate the time spent in that deep silence without falling asleep???
