Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 9, 2011

For this Sunday, October 9th, the focus for our meditation will be on Gestation. Rather than thinking of this concept as referring only to the pre-birth in utero phase there are actually many times in our life when we experience Gestation periods. Each time we begin something anew, maybe a period of change or transformation, or perhaps even just a work or school project, there is an epoch of time at the beginning that resembles a Gestation. It is during this period that we may be concretizing our ideas, pulling out of the amorphous jumble of our mind the clarity that is needed to move the project along. This is a necessary period but one that can sometimes be frustrating. Just as one cannot rush along the development cycle of a fetus, the same is true with other Gestation experiences. We have passed beyond the starting point and believe we already have an end in sight, but the middle may still be taking time to develop and acquire the structure it needs before we can move on. During this period we can feel impatient at what we perceive to be a lack of progress or a feeling that we are “stuck.” However, there are occasions when such a lull is necessary and does not indicate a lack of forward movement, merely our inability to accept that it would take more time than we had anticipated. It may feel to some as we look ahead to 2012, whether one’s focus is on the Mayan prophecy or the national election, that our nation is also undergoing a period of Gestation. In our prayer and meditation this week we want to recognize the vital importance of nurturing this preparatory phase. Let us send prayers and energy that nourish us and our nation during this Gestation while we await the birth of what comes next.

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 observed a period of Gestation in my life? What does it feel like when I recognize the importance of nourishing and supporting the Gestation process to provide for a healthy outcome? 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.
