A few times in the past 3 years of practice, I skipped a few practice sessions in a row for various reasons. Sometimes, I skipped them altogether, other times I made the sessions very short. I've noticed a pattern that occurs in the first practice after the break (say 2-3 sessions).
I sit down and do spinal breathing without a problem, then after 5-10 minutes of deep meditation, there's a feeling of extreme tiredness, so I lie down or lean back and the bodymind is drawn into deep stillness - no sense of time, space, etc. This may take 10-40 minutes. I may come back refreshed or still very tired and cold. No matter how I came back, 20 minutes later there's calmness, softness and feeling of nice warmness in the body.
The process seems to be making up for the skipped sessions :)
Just reporting... enjoy & practice regularly!  |

Hi Tadeas,
Good to know. I never skipped few sessions in a row over the last 5 years, but many times skipped the evening session due to deadlines etc. In my experience not skipping it would be better though so would not say the session the morning after is making up for the skipped evening one Maybe in more advanced stages such as yours  |

| Oh I didn't mean "making up" so that it's like I never skipped the session. I meant making up like the bodymind is trying to catch up with the skipped session, so it goes very deep very fast. :) |
