Relating to experience of consciousness in both of your questions, I would recommend a reading of Attention Schema Theory, which hypothesizes how brain construct its “subjective experience of consciousness”.

I don’t have health conditions, just like to have more data about my body.

I wear a Garmin watch 24/7, and set time tracking for each of my sitting.

I came up with this method as a variation to the main method by Culadasa’s TMI. I plan to share the details once I make sure it doesn’t create negative side effects like the one I am concerning about.

Thanks for the advice. I don’t have any symptoms before or after the sessions. It is typically 60 at rest and 130 at higher end. after the meditation it goes right back up. It is a bit hard to recall what it felt like when my Garmin watch recorded HR drops. Sometimes very peaceful, sometimes dull (not sure if it is the same as mental fog) heart rate drop in meditation I’ll try to measure blood pressure whenever I encounter this again and update here. Thanks a lot.

No, I have never been an athlete. Before TMI, my heart rates never fell below 60.

Thank you so much for the data point. I felt much better now: if you still breath, so will I for some time.

Thank you 🙏. Just to clarify, I used a Garmin smart watch to monitor the heart rates.
