We too often think of a good meditation as one that has some experience, some good feeling of peace and contentment to it. But that is pretty much all about me. Meditation is relationship with Ultimate Reality, God, Power and we are not in control of that. A good meditation is meant to bring us to humility rather than the desired want for power, honor, and privilege that is associated with our secular culture. So I just show up with no expectations. “Good thoughts” are of no particular interest to me. Feeling good can come or go. And methods are not magic. I don’t pay attention to my mind of passing thoughts, or my feelings that come and go. All this is transient. The Power will give me what I need as I need it. How will I know? I will live a less selfish day. I will have more compassion. I will be of service to others without resentment.

I love everything about meditation, some days my mind is busy and some days I have no clue where the time went. All I know is that I navigate the day much better by making the time to start my day with this action. (And reading your blog!) ❤️
