Come yearning. Come sad. Come exhausted. Come wounded, come broken. Meditation is here to refresh you. You don’t have to be other than as you are to come. Come natural, come informal.
When you find a meditation you love, it’s like accessing your own inner vacation spot, a spa, where you can rest, be healed, rejuvenated.
This is a Shakti-powered approach to meditation, in which you learn the skills of allowing the immense power of your innate healing capacity to refresh you. No pushing required. You don’t make an effort. Any straining will only backfire. If you love a certain meditation technique, you will be naturally attracted to it and want to explore it, play with it, luxuriate in it, melt into its embrace, just as you do with music you love.
The power, the Shakti, is life’s urge to be at one with itself. This is one of the most powerful urges in a human being, your innate love of the life force. The skills of meditation have to do with letting the power of your love carry you. Let the power of your own soul’s love for its human embodiment permeate you.
Effort is only for when you decide to do something unnatural to yourself. In the outer world, this can be okay – you might have to force yourself to get up and take a walk. In the inner world of meditation, the doorways open because your attention wants to go there anyway. You don’t have to “improve” yourself in order to approach your own inner world. Each mood you happen to be in will teach you something about the forms life energy can take.
