For this Sunday, July 31st, the focus for our meditation will be on Resourcefulness. I happen to live in an area that is very eco-minded. As just a few examples, people here tend to buy food that is locally grown and harvested, there are several grocery store chains that no longer offer plastic bags and instead encourage customers to carry reusable totes, and throughout many neighborhoods you see rain barrels that have been installed to catch the run-off of water from a roof for use in watering gardens and lawns. In each instance people are becoming more Resourceful as a means of respecting the limitations of our natural resources. Unfortunately, our use of non-biodegradable plastic over the years has led to the formation of what is referred to as a “floating garbage dump” in the Pacific Ocean. The ocean currents have naturally collected the mostly plastic remnants into a huge “island” that some speculate to be as large as twice the size of Texas. The full impact of the presence of this much plastic on the fish, mammals, and organisms that live in the ocean is immeasurable, but it obviously cannot be positive. In order to prevent this and other similar damage to our natural resources from continuing to occur we need to be more Resourceful in finding alternatives ways to do things in our daily life that have less of an impact. It may mean bringing your own cup or container to your favorite coffee house rather than getting a one-use plastic cup or bringing your own bags to the grocery store instead of accepting plastic ones. This week let us examine how we want to increase our Resourcefulness out of respect for the planet and in acknowledgement that its natural resources are both limited and precious.
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 aware of ways to be Resourceful that respect our natural resources? What does it feel like when I have a desire to limit my reliance on natural resources and find alternative ways to be Resourceful in the products I use? 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.
