Beeja meditation is an effortless technique that can seamlessly fit into modern life, but there are times when we experience difficulty meditating and making this amazing practice part of our day.<\/p><p>As meditation teachers, at Will Williams Meditation we\u2019ve either experienced personally or witnessed through our students pretty much every stumbling block to meditation there is. Sometimes even the best of intentions can\u2019t stop us from falling off the meditation wagon, and you may have found that despite your sincere desire to practice meditation it\u2019s been days, weeks or months since you last meditated.<\/p><p>There are various reasons why this might be. This guide is here to take you through the most barriers to meditation and help you to overcome any difficulty meditating that you may be experiencing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed36d96 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ed36d96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/find-a-course\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-discourse\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Find an upcoming course<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fec26d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fec26d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Falling Asleep During Meditation<\/h3><p>Everyone\u2019s done it &#8211; you sit down somewhere comfy for a meditation session and before you know where you are, you\u2019ve drifted off. Not every meditation is going to be an amazing, transcendent experience (although each one is important) and sometimes reaching for that lovely space between focus and relaxation can be pretty soporific!<\/p><p>Finding yourself snoring in your favourite meditation spot isn\u2019t anything to worry about on the odd occasion, but you may have found that snoozing when you want to meditate has become a big barrier between you and your practice. A few practical tips to keep yourself firmly away from the land of nod are:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><b>Get some fresh air: <\/b>Now, this isn\u2019t to say you should meditate in Arctic conditions (you will want to stay comfortable), but opening a window or heading outside to meditate so you are just on the other side of \u201csleepily warm\u201d can be a big help in keeping you alert.<\/li><li><b>Mix up your routine:<\/b> We think, generally speaking, that meditating at the beginning of the day is a good idea. However, if you get out of bed, sit down to meditate and immediately doze off, there\u2019s no reason not to mix it up a bit. You might be too sleepy at the beginning or end of the day to meditate effectively, so meditate in your lunch break and before cooking dinner instead &#8211; anytime when you feel at your most awake. It\u2019s also a good idea to avoid meditating immediately after a big meal, as the energy expended in digestion can make us feel sluggish.<\/li><li><b>Don\u2019t get too comfy: <\/b>One of the most wonderful things about Beeja meditation is that it doesn\u2019t require any special poses or physical discomfort &#8211; something which some meditation techniques rely on. But if you are falling asleep with bothersome regularity, you might want to take a look at your favourite meditation spots, and make sure they are as unconnected to your \u201csleep spaces\u201d as possible. This may mean eschewing blankets and your squishiest armchair, but there are plenty of ways to be comfortable in meditation without the danger of getting that bit <i>too<\/i> comfortable.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>If you\u2019ve tried all of the above and are still falling asleep during lots of meditation sessions, you may want to assess what it might be that is making you so tired. Meditation can help amazingly with sleep and energy levels, but if you are chronically overworked or living with an underlying health issue you may still struggle with fatigue and find it difficult to meditate (and therefore feel the benefits) until you address the problem.<\/p><h3>Struggling With Feelings of Frustration<\/h3><p>Beeja meditation is, in our opinion, the most effortless form of meditation. You simply repeat your mantra, and when your attention wanders, gently redirect to your mantra once more. You really can\u2019t go wrong! However, it is possible to get yourself in a bit of a rut if you start beating yourself up for not meditating \u201cproperly\u201d, becoming frustrated with the chattering thoughts that, really, are natural and unavoidable.<\/p><p>Putting yourself under too much pressure can make meditation an exacerbating experience, especially if you have lots of expectations for yourself and are rushing to feel the benefits. For instance, if you want to start meditating to offset working an extra couple of hours every day, you may become annoyed with yourself for not becoming instantly more productive and begin battling your mind rather than relaxing naturally into a meditative state.<\/p><p>In Beeja meditation, you just need to let the mantra &#8211; effortlessly &#8211; do it\u2019s work. The key thing is to make sure you don\u2019t start labelling your own wandering attention as the enemy and pour lots of mental energy into suppressing your thoughts. This can make meditation unenjoyable, becoming less about \u201cflow\u201d and more about \u201cfight\u201d, and sitting down to meditate with goals in mind can be a barrier to actually achieving them.<\/p><h3>Experiencing Discomfort &#8211; Both Physically and Mentally<\/h3><p>The things we experience when we go into a meditative state aren\u2019t necessarily going to be pleasant.\u00a0Meditation brings us to the very root of our beings in an extremely powerful way, and it helps us untangle a lifetime of stresses, hurts and even psychological trauma. As Brigid Moss reports <a href=\"\\&quot;https:\/\/www.the-pool.com\/health\/breathing-space\/2018\/32\/Brigid-Moss-on-finally-learning-to-meditate\\&quot;\">in The Pool<\/a>, this isn\u2019t always going to be easy. While many of our meditation experiences will be beautiful and dreamy, and a few\u00a0rather unremarkable, we are sometimes going to encounter long-buried emotional wounds.<\/p><p>This is all part of the process and ultimately extremely healing, allowing us to break free from unconscious patterns determined by fears and bad memories. However, it can also be off-putting for some people, especially if they are reluctant to seek out guidance and discuss their experiences. Another discomfort some meditators\u00a0report are aches and pains during meditation, which are distracting and annoying &#8211; but generally short-lived.<\/p><p>To understand more about the psychological disquiet we might face when working through the traumas which are encoded deeply in our nervous system, we recommend reading Will William\u2019s <a href=\"\\&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Effortless-Mind-Meditation-Modern-World\/dp\/1471167909\\&quot;\">The Effortless Mind<\/a>, which explores the science and psychology this phenomenon. But in the meantime, letting yourself meditate through these experiences will be a major step towards moving on from them, and if you learnt with us, you can get in touch with our teachers at any time for advice and support.<\/p><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p>These are, in our opinion, some of the major stumbling blocks to meditation, and if you get through these niggles it\u2019s likely your meditation practice will last a lifetime!<\/p><p>However, there is one influencing factor which perhaps trumps them all when it comes to making meditation part of our day &#8211; and that is feeling as though we lack the necessary time. This is something we thought warrants a blog post of its own, so watch this space to find out more!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-785ee97\" data-id=\"785ee97\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7194046 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7194046\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-76da7af\" data-id=\"76da7af\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f79977e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f79977e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-723\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo.png 474w, https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo-300x134.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab269a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab269a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
