On being welcoming

When I sat down to meditate this morning, I was in a funk.  I was not feeling any meditation energy.  I thought maybe it just wasn’t going to happen today…maybe its one of those days I wouldn’t dive deeper.

However, when I opened to this, a funny thing happened.  My heart started to feel the familiar uplifting energy in deepening meditation.

I had opened to the moment and accepted myself as I was in that moment.  I did not turn myself away because I was in a turbid place.

I accepted and welcomed myself just as I was in that moment sitting on my meditation cushion.

I realized once again I cannot set conditions on the life force as it comes to my doorstep.

Each moment is an opportunity to renew my focus and be welcoming with a compassionate and loving heart.
