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?

  • Hi,

    I find that concentrating on my breathing helps. For me it's challenging because my mind wonders a lot. But after a while my breathing slows down and I fall  asleep. I think it's important not to force anything, or judge it, just go with it. And be gentle with yourself x
