Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 18, 2011

For this Sunday, December 18th, the focus for our meditation will be on Understanding. There is a Bible passage from Philippians that refers to “the peace of God, which passes all understanding.” This passage follows one that exhorts people not to “worry over things,” and the connection between the two is interesting. All too often we become stressed by feeling as though we always need to figure out or Understand the circumstances in which we find ourselves. When we are unable to reach an Understanding of what is going on it can be disorienting and uncomfortable. We don’t like feeling as though we don’t comprehend situations because it reminds us that we aren’t always in control. Yet this passage makes clear that real peace comes without necessarily being able to Understand. It is the gap that bridges a leap of faith when you accept a circumstance without needing to have it all sorted out and know exactly what is going on. In other words, we need to Understand and accept that we likely won’t Understand everything that happens in our life. Once we reach that point of acceptance life’s ups and downs take less of a toll on us. With all the uncertainty in our individual lives and in the future of this country we want to ask this week in our prayer and meditation that we reach an Understanding that acknowledges we aren’t in control. Let us ask that the peace that “passes all Understanding” fill us with serenity and extend across this entire nation.

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 able to accept that I can’t Understand all that happens around me? What does it feel like when I am filled with the peace of knowing I don’t need to Understand everything in my life? 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.
