Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 30, 2012

For this Sunday, December 30th, the focus for our meditation will be on Conscience.  Eleanor Roosevelt once asked, “When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?”  Conscience involves an awareness of what is right or correct versus what is wrong in our own actions and motives.  Having a Conscience tends to impel us to behave in a manner that serves the higher good rather than putting ourselves first.  We all like to believe that we act with Conscience, but there are times when it is easy to lose sight of the grand scheme in which it operates.  Sometimes the fleeting gratification of giving in to an urge to have to be right, to have the last say, to acquire material goods or wealth can stifle what our Conscience might otherwise dictate.  Think about the changes that would manifest in the world if more people followed their Conscience in how they behaved.  There would certainly be less violence and greed, and fewer people would be without the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter.  As our elected officials struggle at the end of the year to find a resolution to the budget crisis and as each of us reviews the year we are about to leave behind let us ask that the energy of acting with Conscience permeates this land. 

In our efforts this week let us also use the energy of our prayers and meditation to amplify the light that covers and fills this nation.  As we perform our meditation let us re-energize the brilliance and power of the light we create.  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 continent 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. 

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, and connect to the circle of others participating in this project. 

Ask yourself how do I feel when I act in a manner that reflects what my Conscience directs?  How does it feel in my body when I consider what my Conscience is dictating before I take action?  Then send the energy and intention of those feelings 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.
