I resolved some things that had been built up inside. I liked the section about letting go and falling asleep. I have done this before in the past. This time everything turned to a visual of a TV screen going white..as in turning off, and then everything I saw went white..and I layed down and went into a deep peaceful nap.

I made great progress and after few years stopped. I miss all the positive things that came along with meditation. I developed great concentration and began to understand what was meant with being one with the universe. In essence I understand why anyone cam become a Buda. After a while I had some very powerful experiences. I, to date, do not understand these experiences. This is where I felt that not having a teacher really became an issue. After this period I developed a meditation block. I hope your guided meditation may help me. I came upon meditation by myself as an adolescent. I made great progress and after few years stopped.

What's important is your experience -- how your experience differs with different meditations. As for any problems with the meditation you've learned, you need to consult with the teacher. Best wishes. Daniela, it’s impossible for me to compare our meditation with what you’ve learned. What’s important is your experience — how your experience differs with different meditations.

Now last week I started deep meditation with a mantra and I'm doing it twice a day for 20 minutes. I'd like to know what is the difference between your style and deep meditation, would the effects be the same? Sometimes I find difficult to keep the mantra going. Can it be because I'm just beggining? Could you please share your thoughs about it? Thank you, Daniela Hi Mary,

If you meditate the same amount of time each time (say 20 or 30 minutes), then after a while you will just know. In the beginning you may check often, but in not too long, you will have formed a habit of meditating for that amount of time and will almost always open you eyes at just the right time. Best wishes.

I am a beginner. I just want to know that how can I tap the time during meditation. How will I come to know that 20-30 minutes of meditation has been over? Please help me, because I tend to check the time every 8-10 mins. Hi Mary, I am practicing meditation since few weeks. I am a beginner.
