Yogi: How does one work with feeling tired? There are different qualities of tiredness in the body and in the mind; and sometimes, I just accept it as part of being old.

Sayadaw: As we get older, it is natural to be more tired. If we do have aversion towards it, we need to work with the aversion.

We let the tiredness be because we won’t be able to meditate the tiredness away. When there’s a body, there will be tiredness.

But we can practice in a way that the mind is more accepting so that the mind is not averse or resisting it. This gives the mind more rest.
