It's ok to let your mind wander

Andy's answer:

It’s a great question and your experience is very common. The reason you experience that state is because you are letting go, you are no longer thinking about focusing, or expending any additional effort in trying to focus, so the mind immediately finds itself in this very restful place. But it only finds itself there because you are not trying to get there, so I would advise against trying to stimulate that mindset earlier in the meditation. It may seem a little short, but that’s deliberate, and as you continue through the Headspace Journey those moments will become longer and longer. Not only that, but over time, this feeling will naturally become part of focusing on the breath as well. In short, you're doing everything just right and if you continue with the same sense of openness and curiosity, everything will flow very smoothly. Warm wishes, Andy
