Today I settled in, I set the timer for 20 minutes. I 'om mani padme hum' ed for 9 minutes, and fell asleep. Because I was sitting up, I caught myself right away. I re- settled. I decided to try again and follow my breath. I re-set the timer. After 10 minutes I fell asleep again.
Today is rainy, quiet, gray. And, for some reason, I thought meditating after lunch would be OK. This is not the case. Today feels so interior, that to meditate is like a double folding in. And a triple folding in with my falling asleep.
Even with this experience today, there was the self discipline of sitting down to meditate, and some insight; chose the correct time of day to meditate, and the meditation that matches the day.
