Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 19, 2010

For this Sunday, December 19th, the focus for our meditation will be on Determination. In the past we have focused on Optimism, but this week we want to recognize that for our ideal visions to be realized we must act with Determination. There is a purposefulness and confidence in how we carry out our life that can make the difference as to whether what we are striving for is achieved. To be Determined implies that no matter what obstacles present themselves you will seek to move past them. It requires a commitment to the goal that affirms you will not be deterred from succeeding even if along the way you encounter setbacks. In acting with Determination one needs to have a clear sense of the objective you are going after, the confidence to know you have the ability to reach that objective, and the stamina to persist under difficult conditions. This week in our prayer and meditation we want to examine in what aspects of our life do we need more Determination? Where are we hesitant to move forward because we are uncertain of our ability to achieve what we are seeking? In addition, we want to ask that our nation have the clarity of vision to know what goals we should be striving for and the Determination to succeed.

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, and create the brilliant star-like light over the nation. Extend blue rays from the center of this light to the nation's four borders and then connect to the grid or matrix that extends from the circle.

Ask yourself how does it feel in my body when I am acting with Determination? What does it feel like when I have the Determination needed to achieve my goals? 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.
