I was excited today to see the trance work starts. I have been mediating the whole time I have been working through the exercises so "taming" my mind wasn't such a problem. I have always been a daydreamer so I take to this fairly well.
HOWEVER, seems like I have been meditating wrong. Having to sit straight up in a kitchen chair changed the whole thing. I thought my recent problem with nodding off was just me being tired. It probably does have something to do with it, but when I meditated the way described in day 29 I had some interesting results.
First, I never noticed how many times I tend to nod off. I was also able to concentrate better. I was concerned it would be so uncomfortable I wouldn't be able to relax but this wasn't the case. When the 20 minutes were up I opened my eyes and had to sit still for a few minutes. I was a little light headed and a tad disoriented.
I did, however, find it difficult to envision the elevator. Not sure why. But if the experiences I have had so far are indicative, with a little practice, this too should be a very interesting experience.
