There's no cut and dry answer for that. It depends on the kind of meditation you're doing, for one thing. Some kinds of meditation require alertness and if you are really exhausted, it may be a strain to try to do them. The best thing is to listen to what your body and spirit are asking for!

Sleep is so precious and I've been having trouble forming regular patterns since I started a new self-employed phase of my career. I wanted to ask you Mary, when you know you are physically exhausted and you have a brief break in the day, do you think it's better to meditate to clear your mind and spirit, or just get the physical rest you need with a cat nap? Thanks, Karen This meditation really helped me sleep and may use it again tonight. Sleep is so precious and I’ve been having trouble forming regular patterns since I started a new self-employed phase of my career.

I wanted to ask you Mary, when you know you are physically exhausted and you have a brief break in the day, do you think it’s better to meditate to clear your mind and spirit, or just get the physical rest you need with a cat nap?

Thanks,
Karen

However, since discovering your meditations on iTunes, I have relief from the constant pain and the stress is momentarily lifted. I find it much easier to relax and 'be'. Thank you so much - I'm going through important exams at the moment and the podcasts are definitely helping me. Namasté, Kirsten-Rose Mary,

Last night, I introduced meditation to my boyfriend with this podcast. He really enjoyed it. About two minutes into the meditation, as we were just settling down into our mats, our dog heaved a big sigh and burped like a human being. We both giggled until it hurt. It made me appreciate our dog, how he lives in the moment, and how he reminds us to be not so serious -- and relax! I just had to share.
