“Rejoicing magnifies the beneficial effects of meditation. When we are self-critical—thinking, say, that our meditation was too short or not good enough—we take away from its power to help us. Instead, we should rejoice over the blessing energies of joy that free us from our mental tightness, confinement, conflicts, and clashes, and open us to the experience of a new dawn of peace, joy, and confidence. We can actually meditate on rejoicing over any wholesome action, thought, or experience to strengthen its benefits.
