meditation, self deception and reversibility.

[andyjohnsonman]

Lately I have been lazy with meditation. My mind tells me I can do it lying down so I have been doing it just before sleeping which has always led to just falling asleep and usually don't know how much meditation I have done but tell myself it's a full meditation mechanism. Is this a self deception?

This is just a recent trend. I'm concerned that as your mind is like a muscle that needs to be trained whether or not it has the same principles of training a muscle - the reversibility principle.  In weight training once you stop training your muscles after 2 weeks the muscle strength goes down dramatically and will take longer to get back to what you once had. I would like to compare this analogy of muscle strength with the awareness gained in meditation and wonder if this reversibility principle would still apply?

@andyjohnsonman Legit inquiry, but I’d suggest meditating first thing in the morning, and not believing any thinking about awareness.
