For this Sunday, April 28th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Flow. When we experience trauma or turmoil in our
personal lives or as a nation, it is easy to become stuck in a response pattern
that is not helpful. Some people find
themselves consumed with grief or rage or other “negative” emotions and then
find it difficult to release them. While
as human beings it is normal to experience the highs as well as lows of our
emotional life it can be a hindrance to our development if we hold on to a
particular state and are unwilling to let go of it. As a result, we can allow that emotional response
to have more of an impact in our life and perhaps prevent us from moving
on. It is as if a fish in turbulent
waters tried to remain stationary and resist the Flow around them. By
battling the current the fish expends all its energy in what inevitably becomes
a futile effort. People can similarly
waste energy trying to resist the changes that life events can force on
us. Rather than stubbornly wanting to
hold on to the past it would be far easier if we just let the surge of life
carry us along. Going with the Flow doesn't necessarily mean being
complacent or apathetic but is more about recognizing when it is important to
hold on and when we are better off letting go.
In our meditation this week let us examine whether there are emotional
patterns we have held onto that are keeping us stuck and draining us of energy. Let us ask instead that we be shown how to Flow in the midst of turbulence and
accept the changes the currents may bring.
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 allowing myself to Flow easily with the currents of life and change? How does it feel in my body when I realize it is easier to be carried by the Flow than to struggle against it? 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.
