Staying awake

Posted almost 12 years ago , by Mindsculpt

Over the christmass break i have been meditating and i have noticed some changes concentration in school. But the problem is i have trouble staying awake. sometime when it feel as if im doing it right i end falling asleep and sometimes im able to focus on my breath for about maybe 1-2min then feel like im loosing sensation of my body starting with me legs then i loose control and i become physically aware. How do i stay awake in my meditation?

keep your mind occupied by counting your breath. For example: inhale 1 exhale 1 inhale 2 exale 2... and so on and so fourth and just count every breath. You could also repeat in your mind: "mind awake, body asleep" with every inhale and exhale. This tricks your mind into thinking your thinking nothing and helps you to achieve that altered state of conciousness even faster- and keeps you awake :)
