Om Swami
What should I do when I feel restless while meditating?
Pause when restless
When restlessness comes, stop meditating for a few moments, take a long breath and settle. Meditate in five-minute sittings full of quality rather than forcing a long one.
When you become restless, stop trying to meditate for a few moments, pause it, take a long breath and settle down. Then, when the mind is calm, sit down to meditate again.
