For this Sunday, September 11th, the focus for our meditation will be on Resilience. As our nation commemorates the tenth anniversary of the lives lost in the terror attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania let us recognize the power of the human spirit to overcome such unfathomable sorrow. Ten precious years have passed. Ten precious years robbed of time not able to be spent with friends, colleagues, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers. Yet, somehow, lives do go on. Amidst all the news coverage leading up to the anniversary the stories of those who have been able to move forward in living their lives speak volumes about the Resilience of human nature. Moving forward does not necessarily mean putting something entirely behind you, and it certainly does not mean forgetting. It means not allowing the pain and anguish to hold such a firm grasp on one’s life that you remain frozen in time. Summoning the spirit of Resilience gives a vital first nod to the awareness that gradually things will get better. It makes room for hope and eventually the return of even some joy into one’s life. More importantly, Resilience prevents other more negative feelings such as anger and hatred from consuming one’s spirit. Even against the backdrop of continued threats to our security as across this nation people prepare to honor the fallen from ten years ago they demonstrate the Resilience that is so characteristic of our country. In our prayer and meditation this week let us ask that the nation be completely filled with the spirit of Resilience that brings healing, comfort, and courage to all.
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 have the Resilience to move forward following adversity? What does it feel like when I know I am capable of a Resilience that allows me to overcome any feelings of sorrow, grief and pain? 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.
