For this Sunday, September 8th, the focus for our meditation will be on
Calling. Some people consider a “
Calling” to be an indicator that one is directed toward a religious life or possibly a specific profession. Tom Ryan, the author of a wonderful book titled, “Following Atticus,” believes it is much more commonplace than that. In his on-line blog, Tom writes, “When something inspires you and tells your heart where you are meant to be, what you are meant to do, you have to have the courage of your convictions to take that leap of faith. It takes place every time you reach for something more, become something more – whether you planned it that way, or were forced into it.” An indication that it is indeed a
Calling and not just a momentary whim comes when there are persistent signs rising up in our path to compete for our attention. It is the universe’s way of not letting us be distracted into going in the wrong direction. Yet, when we believe we have a
Calling in life it often can appear to be pulling us in a direction we may not initially want to take. By heeding its
Call there can be unimaginable rewards waiting for us, but it can be easy to not want to leave our comfort zone to pursue the unknown path. This week in our meditation let us consider whether we have recognized the indications of a
Calling in our life. Let us ask whether instead we have too long disregarded those signs and if there is another direction we may want to take in order to attain what is ultimately in our best interest.
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 have been aware of the signs of a
Calling in my life? How does it feel in my body when I have chosen to act on a
Calling and redirected 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.
