Meditation Instructions for Sun., August 18, 2013

For this Sunday, August 18th, the focus for our meditation will be on Dreams.  For some, day dreaming is seen as a silly pursuit or a waste of time, as though the mind should instead be focused on some other more worthy task.  Yet Dreaming frees us from the bonds of circumstance and other constraints that can inhibit us from extending ourselves and reaching for goals that seem impossible.  In Dreams we can become anyone or anything, travel anywhere, and accomplish the unthinkable.  Many spiritual practices hold that Dreams are a mechanism by which Spirit communicates with us.  It is through the patterns and symbols our Dreams so richly capture that we gain valuable insights and wisdom which might otherwise never be revealed.  This week in our prayer and meditation let us consider whether we give our Dreams enough credit and attention, rather than dismiss them as mere imagination.  Let us ask that we become receptive to the insights and messages that Dreams can deliver, and may we use them to help spur us to act in a way that draws us closer to our higher self and purpose here on earth.

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 entire 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 able to free my mind and allow myself to Dream of the impossible?  How does it feel in my body when I have an appreciation for the rich insights and wisdom that Dreams bring into my life?  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.
