Meditation Instructions for Sun., April 22, 2012

For this Sunday, April 22nd, the focus for our meditation will be on Expansion.  This was the topic for our meditation back in February, but at that time the focus was on avoiding the tension and constriction that can often accompany guardedness.  In this look at Expansion we want to consider how it reflects the metaphysical principle of receiving from the universe that which we demonstrate we are ready to receive.  In other words, if in response to a desire for greater prosperity I choose to be generous with others, the signal I am sending the universe is that I have made room to receive more.  If out of yearning to find myself in a loving relationship I choose to reach out to others and extend them gestures of love I am telling the universe I have created a greater capacity within myself to subsequently receive love.  In contrast, if we are stingy with ourselves and our resources we are essentially telling the universe we believe we must cling to it because we hold the expectation that we will not receive anything else.  Every time I instead demonstrate the ability to release or give something away I create more and more Expansion that the universe subsequently fills to even greater capacity.  A vacuum is created that will be naturally filled by the universe, but we first need to allow room to be made.  Have you ever known someone who lost a partner or perhaps a special animal companion who declared they would never be able to have another relationship or another pet in their life?  While the pain they are experiencing from their loss understandably makes them unable to initially consider entering into another relationship they need to eventually recognize that their prior bond has left them with even more space to Expand.  Rather than close their heart, if they would only allow that internal Expansion to occur the universe becomes capable of filling that hole with even greater abundance.   This week in our prayer and meditation let us consider what we want to make more room for in our life, and let us ask that we be shown how to allow Expansion to bring us an abundance of that which we desire.

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 Expand my capacity to receive by letting go?  What does it feel like when I recognize the universe responds to Expansion by sending me even more than what I held previously? 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.
