Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 3, 2013

For this Sunday, November 3rd, the focus for our meditation will be on Reverence.  To have Reverence towards something or someone is to hold them in respect, honor, perhaps awe or even love.  It is a deep, profound feeling that fills one’s heart when you are either in the presence of the object of Reverence or even just contemplating them.  In our modern society unfortunately we all too easily misattribute feelings of Reverence for pop stars, athletes and actors.  While some of them may indeed be individuals worthy of being held with esteem, too often people place them on pedestals and offer Reverence without really even knowing anything about their character.  This week in our prayer and meditation let us ponder what in our life we most Revere.   If we find at the top of our list someone or something that may not reflect the spiritual beings we aspire to be let us ask to be shown who is worthy of those intense, profound feelings of Reverence.  By drawing closer to them in prayer and meditation may we then find our hearts filled beyond capacity, leaving us able to take in even more love than we had ever imagined.

In our efforts this week let us also continue to use the energy of our prayers and meditation to amplify the light that covers and fills this nation.  As we perform our meditation this week let us begin by re-energizing the brilliance and power of the light we create.  Just as before, 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 hold a deep feeling of Reverence for another being?  How does it feel in my body when my heart is filled and expanded by my awareness of Reverence for another?  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.
