For this Sunday, October 25th, the focus for our meditation will be on Joy. Retailers are all too quick to remind us of the upcoming holiday shopping season. It seems that each year they roll out their holiday items earlier and earlier to entice buyers. When I walk into a store in early October and am already confronted with these displays I have to wonder whether one consequence is to also increase the stress this holiday period can bring. To me, it's another reminder of the materialism that accompanies this season, and in our current financial times that no doubt is increasingly accompanied by feelings of stress. If we as individuals and as a nation could instead replace this with a foundation built on feelings of true Joy, if we could reclaim the simple pleasures that bring us real happiness, perhaps this time of year would take less of a toll on us. As we proceed into the fall season we want to focus our attention on what brings enduring Joy and to build that feeling as a buffer against the more stressful events to come.
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 matrix that extends from the circle.
Ask yourself what does it feel like in my body when I am feeling truly Joyful? What activities best serve me in leading me to enduring feelings of Joy? How does it feel when my body is entirely filled with real Joy? 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.
