Meditation Instructions for Sun., January 12, 2014

For this Sunday, January 12th, the focus for our meditation will be on Release.  Studies on the increasing numbers of people living to the age of 100 or beyond have found a number of variables they seem to have in common.  While genetics likely has some impact on their chances of living a long, healthy and productive life there are a number of lifestyle factors that also appear to play a key role.  Mental attitude is one of these, and related to attitude is their ability to avoid stress.  Interestingly, however, was the fact that these centenarians had as many stressful events in their life as the rest of us.  The difference was in their ability to Release the stress and not linger or dwell in it.  By letting go of stress there is a physiological impact that not only improves our quality of life but more importantly our quality of physical health as well.  When we hold onto stress or amplify it through resulting anxiety it can have a physiologically toxic effect on our body.  In developing the ability to instead Release stress it increases our sense of well-being and overall happiness and contributes to a longer, healthier life.  This week in our prayer and meditation let us ask what we may want to Release in our life that we have been holding onto that adds to the sense of stress we experience.  May we be shown a healthier way to Release that which could otherwise create stress, freeing us to ultimately improve the quality and fruitfulness of our life.

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 am able to Release something that has been stuck?  How does it feel in my body when I experience a Release of that which has been troubling me?  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.
