Meditation Instructions for Sun., Feb. 1, 2009

For this coming Sunday, February 1st, the focus for our meditation will be on Bipartisanship. Webster's Dictionary defines bipartisanship as "marked by or involving cooperation, agreement, and compromise between two major political parties." It is part of the cornerstone of our form of government and is one of the qualities that distinguishes us from other countries that rely instead on monarchy, dictatorship, etc. To be truly bipartisan requires one to be conciliatory when appropriate but to also be able to fairly and firmly express views that may be in opposition to those held by others. Both sides have to be open to trying to understand the other's perspective and to be willing to weigh its advantages or disadvantages against one's own ideas before taking a position. Bipartisanship is critical to the smooth functioning of the Legislative Branch (Congress) and the Executive Branch (the Presidency). Both branches are designed work in concert to determine the right direction for the nation. For them to best serve this nation we ask this week that our elected officials gain a deeper consideration for the quality of Bipartisanship in their thoughts, words and actions.

Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle of others participating in this project, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle.

Ask yourself how does the characteristic of Bipartisanship feel in my body and then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the grid for the nation. Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.

For this coming Sunday, January 25th, the focus for our meditation will be on Confidence. In President Obama's Inauguration Day speech he spoke of the challenges facing this nation. In particular, he noted that one of the most insidious challenges is the "sapping of confidence across our land -- a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights." If we are to meet all the challenges facing this great nation we must have confidence in our elected officials and in their ability to restore this country to a better condition for all its citizens. It will take time and patience and determination, but we will be be much more likely to succeed if we truly feel confident about the future and the direction our new administration is taking. Our aim this week is to help infuse a greater sense of Confidence in our populace. With that energy surrounding our nation's capital and its leaders they will be in a stronger position to achieve all that is needed for this country.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Jan. 18, 2009

For this coming Sunday, January 18th the focus for our meditation will be on a Smooth and Orderly Transition of governmental powers. With our President-elect about to be sworn in on Tuesday, January 20th we are beginning a new era for this nation. From all accounts it seems that the new administration is well-prepared: key cabinet officials have been selected but will still need to go through the Congressional approval process. The President-elect has chosen his circle of advisors and appears eager to tackle the daunting task before him. Our role is to ask that this transition stage be carried out with efficiency and order for the running of this country.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Jan. 11, 2009

For this coming Sunday, January 11th the focus for our meditation will be on asking that our new administration receive the Guidance they need to direct their actions in taking office and serving this nation. Guidance is readily available to all, but sometimes people need assistance becoming aware of and receptive to this spiritual direction in their lives. This week our intention is that members of the administration become more cognizant of the presence of Guidance. By increasing their receptivity to this spiritual assistance may they see more clearly the right path to follow in directing the nation.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Jan. 4, 2009

For this first Sunday of 2009, January 4th, the focus for our meditation will be on Patience. It seems at times that we have become a nation characterized by impatience. Our society is described as being a "fast food" nation in more ways than just its eating habits. We tend to expect instant results and are often intolerant of delayed gratification. There are many challenges ahead as we wait for our new administration to take office, and Barack Obama readily admits he will make mistakes. For our new President and Congress to effect the changes needed it most certainly will not be an overnight transformation and will take some time. We therefore ask that the people of this nation be filled with the willingness to be Patient and to give the new administration the time needed to find its way through the difficult terrain that lies before it.
