Are you praying with your heart or with your head? If you meditate with your head you will soon judge the meditation based upon how you feel. Your good feeling is your head’s judging of the meditation success. You will surely stop meditating in a short time. If you meditate with your heart, you will continue to meditate through whatever happens in the meditation. Why? Because it is not all about you getting what your head wants. Your head lives in isolation. The heart lives in connection. The head judges. The heart loves. You have a child? A partner? A dear friend? They act badly? The head says to punish? The heart says to love. Meditation will help you to keep the balance.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
