A very common experience., ie : Sometimes it’s when you stop meditating that you really notice the effects.

“I’m so sorry I keep missing the follow up meditator meetings, I really wanted to go to the one last week but then a friend offered me a free ticket to see a band I love.. that won I’m afraid!  But wanted to tell you: I left my job at Christmas, and so during January I’ve been chilling out and having a bit of a rest… anyway, I could really dedicate good time to meditation, and I found I was suddenly sleeping better, and I thought it was just because I had left my job… not so, I missed out on meditation for a few days when I was away and I struggled!   So I’m finding it so helpful, thanks”

Comment from someone who recently restarted meditating

“I think I’m back on track, just doing it with no expectations or aims whatsoever and it flows nicely. Sometimes I doubt that I’m missing it completely, but the benefits are tangible, especially on the anxiety and I feel much more relaxed and calm which is an amazing thing considering the state I’ve been in lately.”
