Don't let the mind fall asleep when you make all these efforts whether in a deity meditation or you're trying to settle down the pure consciousness mind at one point the mind will fall asleep falling asleep is not meditation. After some time the mind starts chattering the habit of the mind to chatter about what everything except what you want it to focus on. All sorts of things will keep coming up in the mind don't allow it to chatter your mind is supposed to focus for this next 30 minutes on the object of meditation or on the self itself and so bring it backMake the effort to stop the chattering again i must thank professor in the chakra vatihi he shared a gem today
