I am nodding off when I do the small universe. I am not even able to make it around once without losing track and I am even experiencing my body jerk back to awareness sometimes between one point and another. I am doing the hour long cd and I am having these problems almost from the first round.

When I first started doing the small universe I could sit through the whole half hour tape and not lose track. I also felt I was getting into some deep work.

Another problem I am having is a lot of pain in my upper back as sit. Any comments on either of these situations would be most appreciated.
