a sleepy meditation

[presto_the_dreamer]

im just curious if anyone else has similiar effects when meditating.

it seems that nearly everytime i try to meditate i get sleepy.

1. i find a dark, cool place, and turn on some tunes at a low enough
level that i cant really hear it but it provides white noise.

2. i empty my thoughts on everything and calm my mind, to a point
where all there is is the color black.

3. at this point i either visualize a great door opening and filling
me with energy, or try to turn on individual chakras.

4. before im full of energy or turn on more than 3 or 4 chakra points,
i get really sleepy and tend to pass out.

the longest ive pasted out for was 10 mins. when i awake im always in
a great mood and full of energy, like ive just gotten a full nights
sleep in 10 mins. anyone had similiar stories or tips that can help me
out? im still incredibly new at this.

You're slowing your brain waves when you meditate, if you're doing it
right. The same thing happens when you sleep. Ideally, you should be
able to learn to maintain this without passing out, sleeping without
ever totally losing consciousness. But it is normal to fall asleep. ^^
I recommend finding something like Silva Ultramind, they're all very
lamely narrated, but the tapping of the alpha rhythm helps guide you
into each level of meditation, and someone speaking helps to gently
bring you back to semi-consciousness if you fall asleep. Also,
meditating in uncomfortable positions will keep you awake and
strengthen your resistance to interruptions. I don't really know how
else to help you; I only have this problem if it's really late and
I've had a long day, because my entire body is wanting real sleep.
