Active Rest

 In meditation, rest requires effort.  Why?  Because continual surrender is difficult and this is what we are trying to do in meditation.  We are not problem solving or having an active chat with God.  It is work to let go and just be.  If we are trying to get something, some result, out of our own devising or effort, then we are not going into deep meditation.  Wanting to feel good, or get “results” is not deep meditation.  When God wants us to know something, that will be God’s doing.  Wait. Be still.
