Question: Can I meditate lying down!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Hello Joe

No, it isn't advisable!.

Meditating requires an alert mind, when you lie down your subconscious is designed to fall asleep!.

A sitting position, back straight, shoulders back, comfy position is best!. Try a few, find one that you like!.

yes you can, if you feel your body vibrate you can astralproject!.
I know afew people who can astralproject so I tried it afew days ago and it worked!.
You just need to stay still (eye's closed) and try to lift your self out of your body when your body starts vibrating!. If anything bad happens you are automatically zapped back in your body!. (don't go to area 51 or CIA or anything like that, they can detect your spirit and do harm to you)Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can meditate while you are lying down and what people have stated about falling asleep depends on the person, for instance i have been meditating for about 3 years already i started meditating while i was sitting but then noticed something amazing would happened when i meditated lying down, i would get a better relaxation and a faster state of clear mind so it all depends on how you do it and how you like it!.

remember if you are going to meditate lying down use a comfortable bed or couch and a nice comfortable pillow and even if you do fall a sleep a couple of times you will have a nice comfortable sleep just try it again once you wake up :)

did you know the best times to meditate are right after you wake up and right before you go to sleep!? well there you go that little sleep my help you outWww@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely! You can technically meditate doing anything and everything in life!. As a matter of fact, it just helps you get more out of life during every moment of your life!. just make sure you set some sort of an alarm in case you have limited time, and in case you fall asleep!. I have the best sleep when I fall asleep meditating ; ) enjoyWww@QuestionHome@Com

what really matters is not the position but the fruitful result at the end!.!.

There are many ways you can meditate!.!.Sitting,standing,lying,walking!.!.!. an instant meditation while walking has much impact on me(personally)!.!.but it depends on the ability and the preference of the person!.

if you fall asleep then your not meditating!. Meditation is a mental discipline where somone attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness!.

Of course you can, but if you are tired you might just end up falling asleep again, and that's not good if you are supposed to go do something like go to work and then you are late!. LOLWww@QuestionHome@Com

I do!
who says there's only one way to meditate!?

That's like saying there's only one correct way to pray!

One can meditate in any position!.

Your experience is no problem at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can!. But the reason most people don't is because you end up falling asleep and that's not the point of meditation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
