I hear people talk about reaching an altered state of consciousness during meditation. I do not have that sensation at all. If anything, just a feeling of slight relaxation. Is this OK? 12:11 Q2. (I don't know if this is the place to ask.) I'm pregnant. Whenever I'm uncomfortable, I lie down immediately so I can be comfortable. Should I continue meditating despite the discomfort? Or is this an unnecessary worry, a distraction?
