For this Sunday, November 27th, the focus for our meditation will be on Assistance. This time of year is one in which many people can feel overwhelmed by all the tasks that fill their lengthy to-do lists. Holiday preparations, cooking, shopping, wrapping and shipping gifts, mailing holiday greeting cards, traveling, etc., merely add to what is likely an already full agenda. For those of us who are loathe to delegate and ask for Assistance this season can sap our reserves, wearing us down physically and mentally. There are many reasons why we fall into this pattern. Sometimes we hesitate to ask for Assistance because we don't want to bother another individual. Sometimes we insist on doing it all ourselves because we are stuck in the rut of perfectionism and believe it is the only way it will be done properly. If there is one lesson to come out of this season it should be that we are mistaken to try and go it alone or to carry all our burdens by ourselves. If anything, the season is about being there for each other. It is only be recognizing the importance of sharing and delegating that we come to realize the value in reaching out to another and asking for Assistance. The act of asking someone else for Assistance can help validate the other individual and make them feel as though they are needed and wanted. It strengthens the bonds between people and can provide an opportunity for reciprocity that will make the other individual more willing to acknowledge when they, too, are overwhelmed and could use some help. Rather than stubbornly trying to accomplish all that is on our plate let us this week ponder how we might be better served by reaching out and asking for Assistance. Let us consider where in our lives we may be feeling overwhelmed and could be helped to relieve some of that burden. Additionally, let us ask that those who are struggling with impossible burdens also find the means to reach out and ask others for the Assistance they need.
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 willing to readily ask others for Assistance? What does it feel like when I am relieved by the Assistance provided by others? 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.
