In meditation we are allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed and we will see the storm of our lives calm down. The storms will still be there. We’re living in very stormy times in our world, so no one can get away from storms. Then we have our inner storms and we have our personal life story, but these storms then don’t overwhelm us. It is the love of God, the love of Christ, that overwhelms us. And to be overwhelmed means that you let go of control. That’s what saying the mantra is. We are giving up control.
