I attended some Transcendental Meditation “weekend workshops” a long time ago. The deal was that we were to spend much time meditating in our rooms. The instruction was to meditate for a certain period of time, and to EXPECT that we might fall asleep. “If you fall asleep, that’s exactly what your body needs right now. You will wake when you’re ready, and then you can go back to the meditation schedule.”
Sure ’nuff, I fell asleep. I woke to the sound of someone just laughing and laughing! Turned out to be me. One of the best weekends ever!
