Ultra Mindfulness

Sometimes I exerience what I can only describe as ultra mindfulness, I'm lying in bed and I'm totally aware of everything that is happening in those momments, I can feel my sheets, the mattress, how much my feet ache and how tight my calf muscles are. I'm not unhappy or feeling anything much, just being. I know there are some that would say I should be glad of reaching this state, that it's a sign of higher levels of awareness etc, but I'd like to be able to distract myself out of it to help me sleep.

Any ideas anyone?

Does anyone else experience this sort of thing?

  • Like i say for me it's not uncomfortable, apart from the bits of me that ache, it's just being totally present in the moment and with whats happening in that moment, is just is, there's no concious direction to it, it just happens and it just happens to keep me awake. Although maybe my brain is resting? I'm not thinking, I'm just being.
