Meditation's simple. Start with your hands and wrists. - a podcast by Mindful WTF

I receive questions from participants who are curious about the sensations they experience during meditation, including everything from tingling feelings in the body and sleepiness to the desire to cry or laugh out loud. Although there are a variety of sensations that you can experience during meditation, in reality, only four things can happen during meditation:



  1. You have awareness of the focus of your meditation.

  2. You experience thoughts or sensations.

  3. You fall asleep.

  4. You enter the stillness between thoughts, commonly referred to as “the gap.”


You can be reassured that meditation is always healing and that your body takes exactly what it needs from your practice. When you notice that your attention has drifted from your practice of noticing to a thought in your mind or another part of your body is sore and pulls your attention to it, gently return your attention to the practice at hand. If you fall asleep, it’s because you were tired and needed to rest.
