Start by Asking

Healing in meditation is often a question of asking, when one is feeling a state of deprivation stemming from early on in life. In that scenario, you had learned to stop asking and that deprivation which resulted  remains in you.  So, you've become accustomed to it and feel somehow is was not meant to be filled.  You will surprise yourself, however, if you put yourself in a position of vulnerability again, by asking, simply and fully, which can lead to the unpacking of this feeling of deprivation, no matter if it began from an early childhood learned response, or a lesson learned that can finally now be discarded completely.  


I have never had a 'no' come from the inside. It seems the inside has no 'no.' There is only living and living is innately a 'yes.'
