Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 13, 2013

For this Sunday, October 6th, the focus for our meditation will be on Respect.  As the legislative impasse continues, the finger-pointing and debate seems to be growing increasingly rancorous.  Eventually, decisions will be made, compromises will be agreed to by both sides, votes will be tallied, and our government will move on.  Unfortunately, the damage caused by this showdown could continue to impact relationships as Congress tries to move forward.  Each side in the debate appears to be developing only more animosity and less Respect for their opponents.  This will not be at all helpful as both sides take on all the other legislative challenges that await them.  This week in our prayer and meditation let us take the energy of the light we create and focus it specifically on Congress.  Let us fill the entire building with a brilliant, dense light that carries the energy of Respect throughout.  May both sides come to acquire Respect for the other and particularly for their constituents across the country who are being harmed by their inaction.  Additionally, out of Respect for each other and the populace they represent may they develop a willingness to see the validity behind the other side’s arguments in order to reach agreement and serve the higher good of this nation.

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, placing special emphasis on Washington, DC and the Congressional Building.  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 Respect someone with opinions that differ from mine?  How does it feel in my body when I have Respect for the people with whom I sometimes disagree?  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.
