Still relaxing, and actually ended up falling asleep after losing focus and trying to regain it, focusing on breathing. Yesterday, meditated while lying on my back, cuddling Twilight plush lying on my chest. Today, was lying on my side while cuddling Twilight plush.
Hmm, I feel like you will not gain much from just laying down, Gray. How you’re relaxing sounds rather intense, to the point it reminds me when I am with Amena. Before bedtime, I would try to hangout with Amena until I pass out. It does sounds rather bad, but I can't help be with Amena a bit more. Amena tells me she enjoys picking me up and putting me in bed in Rehold.
Just not all the time. X(
Amena: It's ok. ^ ^' Just don't overdo it.
Yes, Amena.
Amena: ^ ^ : )
I just fear you won't get much in what we're trying to do, Gray. Often people say walking, standing, or lying doesn't cut it, for reason that won't allow the person to stay focus enough on what they're trying to accomplish. Which isn’t bad, since you do need a goodnight sleep, but I feel you won’t progress this way.
I advise you to sit up, since this will keep you aware, while still feeling relax enough to channel within yourself in perhaps finding Twilight.
Sitting up straight; like how Rainbow Dash is doing up here, cross-legged with the rest of your body relax, remember keeping your spine straight. This way, you will prevent from falling asleep. Once those five minutes are up, gather yourself, open your eyes and take in what you had feel during that time you were meditating. I don’t want you to be discouraged, unless you have back pain, which reminds me, do you or have any discomfort in your back, Gray?
Like Kaltes say, do what you feel is comfortable, but this require you to be aware and awake, Gray.
Tell me your thoughts, or tell us how did your third session went. Either way, we're still here to do what we can.
Amena: Yes! :D Don't give up! :3 We're here for you! ^ ^ : ) ^ ^
It also helps to have your plush plush of Twilight on your lap, since I do that with Amena's vessel. Have your plushie of Twi, be the anchor of your meditation, while focusing on breathing in and out. Remember that letting your mind wander isn't bad thing, just as long you come back on focusing on breathing. Again, the purpose for the breathing is getting accustom on staying focus, while finding Twilight, or at least a pony/someone to help you.
I remember a case where someone found somepony who help them on their journey in finding their lover.
