Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t it true that when you\u2019re in deep sleep you are in an incredible state of Meditation and in the gap?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With that being said I tend to fall asleep while in the gap therefore I don\u2019t believe I\u2019m getting the full experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this common?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have suggestions on how to focus when meditating so that I don\u2019t fall asleep?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sleep state of consciousness is indeed a type of experience of the gap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, unless one is conscious during sleep, then the potentiality of that gap cannot be realized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the gap to be functional you need to be able to consciously project your intention there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as your question about falling asleep during meditation is concerned, that usually means you need to get more rest at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meditation provides a valuable experience of rest, but it is not a substitute for a good night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you make a point of getting more sleep at night but still doze off during meditation, then it means that there is a particular type of conditioning that requires that experience for it to be released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In that case, don\u2019t resist sleep during meditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need to, lie down and sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you wake up, finish with a few minutes of meditation to clear your awareness before you get up.<\/span><\/p>\n
