Good for you.
Once you incorporate this into your life, many things will change.
Your preception of your life mainly. This in turn will effect changes in your reality.

I like to lay on my back when I meditate. I go out like a light. But if I try to just nap I can't fall asleep.

Granted I have only done it once, but I feel like it's a very powerful tool, but will take more discipline that I may possess? Perhaps this is an obstacle I need to overcome in meditation?

Meditation is not a tool, it is life. The only obstacle in meditation is your self.

I suggest high dose shrooms or LSD. You can save yourself years of effort. Drugs are instant enlightenment. Really!

Coincidentally I will be trying LSD in the near time future (couple months).
Also, I have experienced ego death once so far on shrooms. Unpleasant beauty it was.

Too literal. It's like the difference between going through life like a robot and going through life truly living and breathing, awake and aware.
