For this Sunday, July 1st, the focus for our meditation will
be on Protection. There has been
some conjecture that the wildfires raging through Colorado that displaced tens
of thousands of people and caused the destruction of almost 350 homes may have
been intentionally set as an act of terrorism.
While the insidious and cowardly nature of such an act does reflect the stamp
of certain extremist groups what matters most now is taking action to provide Protection. This week in our prayers and meditation let us
ask for Protection and support for the
hundreds of emergency personnel responding to battle the fire, the residents,
pets and wildlife in the area, and the sparing of the remaining homes and
businesses that continue to be threatened.
Later this week we will celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s
independence and as part of those commemorations will salute our military
personnel. Just as their service has
helped to secure our nation’s freedom let us not forget that we can also do our
part with prayer. Let us use the power
of our prayers to envelop this country in a shield of Protection that will prevent similar acts of terrorism from being successfully
carried out.
As a reminder, we typically form as a group in our focused
meditation every Sunday from 12:15 to 12:30 pm (Eastern time) and return to
bring more energy to the same theme throughout the week as time permits. If you
are unable to participate at that particular time there are instructions posted
on how to energetically contribute at either an earlier or later time (please
see “Instructions for Meditating at Alternate Dates or Times”). A few
minutes before 12:15 you may want to get into your meditation posture and begin
the relaxation phase.
Stage 1:
Sit (or lay down) so that you are relaxed and comfortable but your spine is straight and aligned over your pelvis (if seated). Begin by taking several slow, deep breaths. Follow the sensation of the breath down into your body. Breathe into your spine, your hips, and then your legs. Feel the breath reach your feet on the floor and then feel the connection through your feet to the earth's energy. Draw the earth's energy up through your feet into your body. Feel your body fill completely with this energy from your breath and the earth. Invite your own personal spiritual guides to join you in this meditation. Ask for those in the spiritual realm (especially the nation's Founding Fathers) who want to assist us in this effort to be present. If you have trouble feeling centered and fully in your body or feeling grounded to the earth ask Guidance to help you.
Stage 2:
Stay relaxed and begin to make a connection with the others in the group by perceiving that we are present in the same room and formed in a circle. Feel yourself make contact with the person on each side of you in the circle by taking their hand -- one to the right and one to the left. Feel the energy of the group grow as you make this connection. Recognize there are groups all over who are doing similar activities with the same intention. We are connected to them as well as to each other. Feel the grid or network that is created from this energetic connection. We receive energy from it as we feed energy to it.
Stage 3:
Place a brilliant white light over the center of the country. Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west). The blue rays fill the country from border to border and sea to sea. Connect to the energetic grid or network created across the circle. Use that grid to direct energy to the manitou of the nation (see "Explanation of the Grid or Manitou" for more information) with the intent of sending the energy of Protection across the nation.
The way to do this is to perceive in your body how the quality of Protection feels. Ask yourself how do I feel when I am confident in the Protection that exists around me? How does it feel in my body when I know no harm will come to me because I am being Protected? Hold that sensation and allow it to intensify as you feed that energy to the grid or network with each breath.
Stage 4:
Close by disconnecting from the group circle. Feel as though you release the hand of the person next to you and feel yourself break from the group.
Stage 5:
Thank your guidance and those in the spiritual realm for coming to assist you in this endeavor. Ask them to continue this work from their plane on your behalf. If you are able, you may want to repeat this process throughout the week, focusing on bringing light and energy to the meditation topic. When you do, connect to the same network or grid of energy created by the group at the original meditation session. Direct your intention to help support and grow that group energy. Be sure to disconnect from the group at the end.
