For this Sunday, October 23rd, the focus for our meditation will be on Learning. Research studies on memory and aging have reportedly discovered that continually challenging the brain helps protect it against the onset of dementia. Novelty, in particular, as in the form of Learning a new language or skill seems to particularly help keep the brain “young.” I believe our spirit also retains its youthfulness when we preserve our inquisitiveness and ongoing desire to explore and Learn new material. There often is an excitement at discovering some new aspect of a body of knowledge you thought you already possessed. The key is to remain receptive to recognizing there is more to Learn on a topic and to never presume you have “mastered” a particular subject or skill. Most would advocate that Learning is a continual, lifelong process that never ceases. Learning can be in the form of facts and knowledge or in simple lessons such as how to avoid making the same mistake repeatedly. In our meditation this week let us examine whether there is something we could be Learning that would benefit us in our life.
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 a desire to Learn something new? What does it feel like when I challenge myself by Learning something I didn’t know before? 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.
