Can't stay awake during meditation...please help...
 

Hi, I have practiced meditation many times before, I try to do at least a 5 min session a day now which is the most I can usually manage. I am trying to improve my telepathy, its very weak and most days I am lucky to get even a few words. Before it was better but It seems to have somehow reset back to the beginning..my problem is I could meditate better then up to a half hour or more successfully..now it is so hard I fall asleep nearly a few minutes into meditation and I dont know why this is happening. I have tried sitting up while meditating which helped me before but not anymore. I try hard to force myself awake when I realize I am going under but I can't hold off the sleep for long...I get too much sleep a day and am not ever tired until I start closing my eyes. My two roommates have the same thing effecting them, they sleep all the time. I hate this I feel like I am under a curse or something and I can't control my body and mind to stay awake no matter what I do.

How do I delete posts? I accidently posted the same post twice...

The same happens to me every time and industry I will be interested in seeing the replies to your problem if indeed it is a problem

Meditation
Is connection
Energising
By just being
A wholeness
Completeness
Timeless
Oneness

Tamas or stupor
An anchor
Inertness
Sluggishness
Reduced awareness
Sleepiness
The difference, my dear
I hope, is clear
