Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 29, 2009

For this Sunday, November 29th, the focus for our meditation will be on Ambition. This is a concept that unfortunately has become sullied by those who have who have focused on misdirected goals or objectives. To have Ambition is to want to strive for something and to be successful in achieving that goal. The key is to make certain it is a right and just goal as are the means used in its pursuit. A few weeks ago we focused on Transformation -- the process of evolutionary change which implies one must move beyond the state in which we presently exist. If we are to succeed in our desire for Transformation we must have Ambition as that is what provides the impetus for the initial movement needed for change and is what keeps us on the path even when it becomes difficult to follow. In our meditation this week we want to examine where in our own lives our Ambition is directed. Are we focused on a right and just goal, and are we using the proper means to stay on the path in order to achieve a successful Transformation? In addition, consider our country's Ambitions and ask that they, too, be aligned with the right goals for us to evolve and progress as a nation.

Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered in your body, 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 how do I feel when I have Ambition to succeed toward a right and just goal? How does it feel in my body when I am being Ambitious in a proper way? 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 Sunday, November 22nd, the focus for our meditation will again be on Prudence. In August we focused on this topic with the notion of fiscal responsibility in the corporate world. This week we want to reconsider this notion of Prudence but with our own individual behavior in mind. We are entering a seasonal period that presents us with many choices in terms of our activities and conduct. It is a season intended to acknowledge our thankfulness for the earth's bounty and to commemorate religious events such as the re-dedication of a Jewish temple or the birth of Jesus. How bizarre that given the original intent of the various purposes for this season we find ourselves instead in a period noted for overindulgence and extravagance. All too often it becomes a time characterized by overeating, consuming too much alcohol, and perhaps spending more money than we can afford. As we find ourselves confronted with the choices of how to conduct ourselves this holiday season we want to pause and exercise Prudence before choosing how to act. In doing so we will help to reduce the stress of the holidays and lead to healthier choices in terms of our behavior.

Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered in your body, 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 how do I feel when I am exercising Prudence in judgment? How does it feel in my body when I know I am being Prudent in the choices I make? Then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the grid for the nation.

For this coming Sunday, November 15th, the focus for our meditation will be on Equilibrium. In particular, we want to focus on the relationship between Equilibrium and Justice. A state of Equilibrium implies there are opposing forces that cancel each other out to achieve a neutral or balanced condition. When we think of Justice we all too often consider that to be achieved when the outcome agrees with our viewpoint or position on an issue. However, the force of Equilibrium implies there will be instances when the outcome is disparate from what we may desire. We need to accept that there are times when the ways our laws are carried out appear uneven. It is as though the pendulum must swing in both directions, not just in one, for true balance to occur. In looking at our lives and in considering the events in our nation we want to accept that what may appear to be a transitory moment of imbalance is merely a reflection of the movement necessary within a state of Equilibrium.

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 how do I feel when I am at Equilibrium in my life? How does it feel when I recognize the presence of Equilibrium amidst what may seem to be a state of flux? 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.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 8, 2009

For this coming Sunday, November 8th, the focus for our meditation will be on Transformation. It was 20 years ago on November 9, 1989 that the Berlin Wall separating Germany into East and West finally came down. The wall was first erected in August 1961 by the East German government and for years prevented free travel of citizens outside its borders. When the announcement was made the border would be opened many people reacted with disbelief, including the guards manning the barricade who were initially uncertain about what to do but overwhelmed by the crowds soon gave in and allowed them to pass. It was a much celebrated moment of change and Transformation that allowed the country to be reunified. A key spiritual purpose for our life here on earth is to similarly allow for change and evolution in ourselves. If we are to progress with forward movement we must identify what is holding us back and let go. It sounds easy enough, but as we all discover it is a lifelong process that can be sometimes painful and difficult. In our meditation this week then we want to examine what walls may be present in our lives and in our nation that need to come down in order for us to evolve and be Transformed.

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 how do I feel when I find myself undergoing Transformation? How does it feel in my body when I allow Transformation to occur that helps me progress and evolve? 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.
