To progress in meditation, we need to skilfully channel positive energy.
In Buddhist teachings, this energy (or effort) is described as a mind that finds joy in virtue—a light approach to both formal meditation and the cultivation of positive thoughts in our daily lives.
In “Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life,” Shantideva explains four powers that invigorate our meditation. By employing these techniques, we will overcome lethargy and despondency, and develop a strong, stable meditation practice that does not waver when we experience difficulties.
