Trying too hard

Sometimes, when I’m meditating, I actually lose my sense of connection with the Divine, my sense of the Divine within.  I suspect it’s because I’m trying too hard when I’m meditating, forcing the connection.  It’s like trying to track “floaters: within my eye:  the instant I try to focus on them, they move quickly away.  I might live in my head too much; meditating “on” something (a word, a concept, a picture) as I do is rather mental; it’s almost enough to keep me from meditating at all.

And when that occurs to me, I thank the thought politely for attempting to rescue me from disconnection with the Divine, and I continue meditating.  If I’m really feeling disconnected, I do  yoga, or Tai Chi Chih, or go to a park, or romp with my dogs, or something.

One thing I’ve learned over the years:  this, too, shall pass.  The feeling of disconnect leaves, sometimes suddenly, sometimes gradually, and I recognize and rejoice in my renewed Divinity.
