Meditation Instructions for Sun., Jan. 24, 2010

For this Sunday, January 24th, the focus for our meditation will be on Success. How would you define Success? I can recall a class exercise in high school where we had to create our own obituary. The purpose was to imagine your life’s accomplishments and what you would most want people to remember after you were gone. I have no recollection of what I wrote, but I’m quite sure my life thus far doesn’t resemble what I expected at the time. When you think about how your own life may have diverged from what you imagined as a youth perhaps your own notion of Success has similarly changed. Hopefully it has more to do with the contentment one gains through achieving important goals or the relationships you have and less about one’s bank balance. The purpose of our meditation this week is to help foster a sense of what Success really means and what consequently becomes most important in one’s life. Additionally, we want to consider what is needed for our country to be Successful in what really matters for us to 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 does it feel in my body when I am being Successful? What does it feel like when my actions result in Success? 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.

If you have feedback or experiences you would like to share please let me know via e-mail to k_miritello@bellsouth.net or kmiritello@gmail.com

During this week's meditation please also send light to the people of Haiti to help guide them through this difficult time. I visited there in 2002 and found them to be a beautiful people living in desperate circumstances even then -- it is hard to imagine how much more challenging their lives have become.
