For this Sunday, March 30th, the focus for our meditation will be on Sharing. I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the realm of over-Sharing known as Facebook several years ago when a cousin created a private family page to share photos and stories about our grandparents. One cousin had copies of their naturalization certificates that I was interested in reading. Another had photos from long ago that I never seen before. It was an ideal use of technology to Share stories and photos that might otherwise perish and not be handed down. In this instance there is an implied value to what is being Shared – a sense that others would cherish the opportunity to hear for the first time some anecdote about our grandmother, or to see her decked out in a beautiful lavender dress at a wedding when most of us may just have memories of her in black widow’s attire and a simple cotton apron. There was a period when the only way these would be Shared would be at one of those rare gatherings for a wedding or funeral when someone would haul out a photo album, and we would all gather around to flip through the pages. Thanks to social networks such as Facebook, these wonderful moments can be Shared more widely and recorded for future generations. This week in our prayer and meditation let us consider the concept of Sharing and how we manifest it in our life. Can we deepen our Sharing with others beyond the banal posting of a blurry photo or status update and instead offer encouragement and hope for those who may be in need of social support? What in our life do we cherish that is worthy of being Shared with others because it may be of help to them? Let us ask to be open to Sharing in a more meaningful way that deepens our connections with those we touch.
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 Share with others in order to bring them solace? How does it feel in my body when I have something of value that I am willing to Share in a way that is beneficial? 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.
