For this Sunday, April 14th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Vulnerability. There is a wonderful TEDx talk by Dr. Brené
Brown in which she speaks about the empowerment that comes from embracing one’s
Vulnerability. When we allow ourselves and others to see who
we really are, warts and all, it enables us to establish healthier connections
to others. This takes courage, and Dr. Brown
refers to the people who are able to do this as being “whole hearted,” meaning
they have the compassion to be kind with themselves and others. They don’t beat themselves up for mistakes or
flaws but acknowledge them as they are and believe others will still love them
regardless. They see their Vulnerability as more of a positive
than a negative quality and willingly accept it as an instrumental part of
their being. This week in our meditation
let us examine whether there are aspects to who we are that we are afraid to
show to others. Let us then use the
energy of our meditation to ask to be shown a way to accept this part of
ourselves with compassion and understanding.
Once we can fully embrace our Vulnerability
we may find the connections to others on which we thrive become enriched and
grow beyond expectation. Additionally,
let us as that those who struggle with Vulnerability
find the courage to be “whole hearted” with themselves in achieving acceptance
and self-love.
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 am accepting of my flaws and embrace the Vulnerability they create? How does it feel in my body when I am able to be compassionate with myself and accept my Vulnerability without fear or judgment? 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.
