Note: This post was made 3 days after the meditation occurred. This post is majorly copied from a journal entry made directly before and after the meditation with minimal editing.
Before
Started out somewhat relaxed, looking forward to meditating. It should be noted that I was tired all day. Physically I am fine, but mentally I feel worn down, possibly from school.
During
I started off cross-legged on my floor. I had earbuds in and a meditation video playing (I only listened to the video) (the video I used can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EQR0hMFbsk). I experimented with positions until I decided to lay on my stomach. I then moved from my floor to my bed (lying down on my back now) to finish the video. After the video, I remained in that position for about 20 minutes or more. At first, I was very distracted, especially when adjusting positions. However, when sitting cross-legged (with good posture), lying on my stomach, and lying on my back in bed, I experienced moments of calming detachment from my physical senses, entering a state that is similar to being half asleep. It was a comfortable, relaxing experience.
After
At first, I did not recognize the effects after the meditation. But soon, I realized that I had heightened self-control and understanding of occurrences and order, and a more relaxed, self-aware outlook on life. I am now unconsciously breathing slowly and feel relaxed throughout my whole body and slightly rejuvenated in my brain.
