For this Sunday, February 19th, the focus for our meditation will be on Expansion. Have you ever tried too hard to perform some task and in the process become less capable of what you were trying to do? Sometimes we can focus so much on trying to achieve something that we become overly tight and constricted. While some activities, such as lifting a heavy weight, may require a certain level of muscle tension to be performed properly, other activities, such as meditation, actually are inhibited when we are too taut. If we strain too much to concentrate on what we are doing we restrict our ability to perceive. The internal constriction blocks the flow of energy and information and can make it harder to receive Spirit. The same is true in our interpersonal relationships. When we try too hard to find that “right someone” we can become too tense and then are unable to just be ourselves. For us to be able to wholly receive Spirit or others we want to be in a state of Expansion that opens us up and makes us less guarded. Energetically it is a lot less draining to be Expansive than to have to try and contain everything and put up shielding. Yet, constant shielding and trying to overachieve can become unconscious habits. Over time we are no longer even aware of the tension we are holding in our bodies and how that may be an impediment. This week in our prayer and meditation let us examine where we may be trying too hard or holding onto constriction. Let us ask instead that we be shown how to allow a state of Expansion that helps us better receive more of the world around us.
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 let go of tension that constricts me and instead allow for Expansion? What does it feel like when I am aware of a state of Expansion in my body that helps me become more connected to the world around me? Then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the nation.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
