Body Scan Try #2

So, I just tried the body scan for the second time. I feel like this time, even with my legs flat (instead of up to prevent myself from sleeping), I felt much more awake. I felt like I was much closer to "falling awake." And yet, at the same time I feel like I was paying less attention to what he was saying this time than the last time. I always start out really strong at the beginning of the exercise, but the middle not so much. This time, I felt like I was also really strong at the end of the exercise too, though. Hopefully next time I will stay with it the whole time. It's interesting, though, because the first time I tried this exercise I felt I often would ruminate on thoughts instead of his voice, and yet this time I feel like I didn't drift into thought much, instead it was just this sort of mental blankness or emptiness.
