Q: Dear Todd, it’s 3:44 am and right now in the present moment I can’t sleep due to stress and anxiety. But I’m aware and accepting of that fact. I’m not fighting it. Is this considered being in a meditative state? Awareness? For a positive or a negative? I hope this made sense… I am after all sleep deprived at the moment. Thank you

TODD ANSWERS: Much of meditation is shifting our perspective from the experiencer to the witness and so in a way neutrally observing is definitely a meditation.
