How do you meditate to find an answer to something?

Zanna Smith

I write the question down, and leave it before meditation, no matter what kind of meditation or mindfulness practice I engage it. Sometimes I let solid sleep come in between writing the question, and having insight for an answer. Insight usually occurs in the in-between moments between alertness and meditative or sleep state (or vice versa).

Insight usually occurs in the in-between moments between alertness and meditative or sleep state (or vice versa). At that time your brain has less restriction in considering the question and possible answers.
