For this Sunday, August 5th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Light. Each week we begin
our meditation with the energetic formation of a brilliant, star-like Light that is then raised up to shine
down over the nation. While this is a
preliminary step prior to shifting focus to the particular topic or theme for
the week it is an important one that sometimes can seem secondary or even
trivial in importance. This week I would
like to re-energize this portion of our meditation practice with an added
emphasis that will be sustained through the remainder of the year. In less than a month the political conventions
will begin, followed by the run-up to the national elections in November. This process is a critical part of our nation’s
democratic foundation. In preparing for
it to begin we want to assist that process in running smoothly and in a manner
that is filled with honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct. To do that we will use the energy of our
prayers and meditation to amplify the Light
that covers and fills this nation. As we
perform our meditation this week let us spend our focus on re-energizing the
brilliance and power of the Light we
create. Just as before, begin by forming
a concentrated ball of Light that is
so bright it is almost impossible to look directly at it. Raise this sphere of Light up high over the nation and then let its rays cascade down to
create a solid, impenetrable dome of Light
that completely covers every inch of our country. From shore to shore and border to border let
the entire nation be filled with this brilliant, dense Light that will serve to magnify the best and highest qualities of
our country and the people who live across its vast lands.
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 Light across the nation.
The way to do this is to perceive in your body how the quality of Light feels. Ask yourself how do I feel when I am bathed in a brilliant, liquid Light that feels so dense that I am completely saturated by it? How does it feel in my body when I am surrounded by a dome of Light that fills all the space around me? 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.
