Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 22, 2013

For this Sunday, December 22nd, the focus for our meditation will be on Sufficiency.  A common challenge during the holiday season is figuring out what to get as a gift for the special people in our life.  The difficulty is often a reflection of the fact that few of us have an actual need for more material goods.  While there might be items we would like to have, they are certainly not essential or necessary for our existence.  Unfortunately, the pressure of getting exactly the right item for someone else, or the disappointment of being given a gift that falls far short of anything we might possibly like, only amplifies the stress of the holidays.  This week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider what is really needed in our life.  What do we have as excess that we would be better off without?  Let us ponder what is truly required for us to live and ask to be shown how to be satisfied with that Sufficiency without succumbing to the cravings of materialism.  May all across our nation come to recognize what is Sufficient in their life and find contentment with what they may already have.

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 recognize what is really necessary and Sufficient in my life?  How does it feel in my body when I am able to prioritize my needs and appreciate the Sufficiency of what I already have?  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.
