Für Elise

Elise,

This is a beautiful experience of effortlessness. We sit to meditate, and the whole thing just happens by itself, automatically, naturally. It is a beautiful experience of correct meditation. You are doing the right thing, and no change is needed.

Eventually, when all stresses are dissolved, no stress remains. Then there can be no contrast between the "meditative state" and the "awake state". That lack of contrast is an advanced experience, not a problem.

If you like, you can stretch your arms a bit during the period of silence at the end of meditation sessions, or yawn, or do some similar small activity to signal the body to prepare for activity. Some people like to lie down and rest afterward. There is no one "perfect" way to transition to activity that will be best for every individual.

Your experiences are very good. Just continue and wonderful things will happen in the future.
