In Meditation You Are Allowed to Have Moods

Meditation is a love relationship between your body and infinity, and it’s sensual. As with any healthy love relationship, you are allowed to have moods. The more honest you are, the better.

“Saying how you feel” in meditation just means you admit to yourself, you don’t think you have to be perfect in order to meditate.

You can come in and say, “I’m afraid. I’m scared.”

“I’m grumpy.”

“I’m lonely, hold me.”

“I am angry!”

“I am suspicious of you.”

“I don’t trust you.”

Saying how you feel opens the door and lets love in. You are basically just admitting to yourself how you feel. This counteracts the tendency many of us have to feel ashamed of how cluttered our minds are.

You can even say to your inner love, “I’m sorry, my mind is so cluttered with my to-do lists right now.” Then let the life force take care of you. The genius of life is continually repairing you, revitalizing and renewing you so that you are more capable for your day.
