Grace is not just reserved for the holy, and the concept of deserving does not really enter in. A Question of Balance Relying on grace in meditation does not mean that you use no effort at all in meditation. Ideally, meditation is a blend of will and grace. It's mostly a matter of finding the right balance. Just make a relaxed effort, and allow grace to do the rest.
Grace is, for the most part, a spontaneous happening.
However, there are a few ways to elicit a bit more from the cosmos. Asking Although you may not notice the difference every time, I've found that simply asking for grace at the start of each meditation is very often helpful. There's no need to beg or grovel. Preparation Being prepared to receive more grace basically means that your energy circuitry is strong enough and clear enough to conduct this powerful elevating energy. Strengthening your circuitry mostly comes from normal physical activity, such as walking, running, working, etc., and from practicing spiritual exercises, such as Yoga or Tai Chi.
