For this Sunday, February 21st, the focus for our meditation will be on Triumph. There is a Nike commercial being played during the Olympics that shows a montage of athletes who have faced potential defeat but continued on despite the momentary setback. The ad slogan proclaims that a real winner is defined by how quickly someone gets back up. You certainly don't have to be a competitive athlete to experience adversity in your life -- everyone does sooner or later. Perhaps you can think back to moments when you faced a crisis or had to weather a period of turmoil and hardship in your life. Looking back reflectively you may be able to identify some positive benefit that you took away from the experience. A book I've recently been reading describes people who overcame amazing odds when faced with true peril and yet managed to survive. The common characteristics they all possessed were the ability to not succumb to a desire to give up, the optimism to believe there had to be a way out, and the fortitude to keep working to find a resolution. In our meditation this week we want to reflect on where we have been successful in achieving Triumph over adversity and to bring what we have learned from the experience into our character so we overcome the next hurdle we may face. At the same time, consider what challenges our own country has had to meet and what is needed for us to Triumph as a nation going forward.
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 have Triumphed over adversity? What does it feel like when I am able to pick myself up from a setback and Triumph going forward? 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.
