This is a great post, it effectively brings to attention some key benefits of meditation. I upvoted. I've been frequently meditating for 8 years. I also write about it and recommend it to people all the time. It's especially great how you mention that it has improved your quality of sleep. I know many people that do not fall asleep easily and their embrace the suffering or take substances to sleep. I try to express to them that meditation can exponentially increase the value of their sleep. How do you prefer to meditate? I prefer to lay down. I also practice mindfulness and transcendental techniques. Happy New Year
Wonderful to hear that you're a seasoned meditator, I'll look at your writings! Yes sleep is very good for sure.
I sometimes do my TM (transcendental meditation) seated in a comfy chair - not slouching but in an upright position but as is comfortable, no strain, or I sit on a blanket on the floor with my legs crossed and my back against the wall. I always use a blanket too because I get cold.
