What Happens If I Fall Asleep During Meditation? | Ashok Gupta | Gupta Program |

What happens if you fall asleep? Absolutely fine. You think you've fallen asleep, but it's a different quality of sleep, because meditation gives you what you need in that moment. So if there's a lot of repressed exhaustion in the system, when you meditate, you'll find that you just go into a deep stupor, and you may even wake up feeling worse. That is okay. That is the parasympathetic nervous system kicking it. What are we doing with all of this? Is triggering the parasympathetic nervous system to heal, rest, digest, to get your system healed and repaired. And that's what we're doing. The breathing techniques for the meditation, the brain retraining, all the lifestyle things, they're all designed to calm down that nervous system, to enable healing, and also to support the retraining as we switch off the immune system as well.
