For this Sunday, June 8th, the focus for our meditation will
be on Dissolving. I used to suffer from terrible writer’s block
that prevented me from beginning (never mind finishing) papers for school or
reports for work. It was when I was
confronted with having to write a senior project for the Crucible Program, an
esoteric training program in energy healing offered by the Healing Light Center
Church, that I knew I had to Dissolve
this block. I was bound and determined
not to let my inner anxiety about writing impede my ability to complete this program
of study. The solution that ended up working for me was realizing
it didn’t have to be a linear process where the text had to flow perfectly onto
the page from first to final sentence (and in that order). Instead, I began to jot down bits of ideas
and phrases that would come to me (sometimes at the oddest times) and captured
them on a software version of yellow sticky notes. These seemingly random thoughts could easily
be rearranged, grouped and ordered, and thus cobbled together into a detailed
outline of what I wanted to write. With
that structure before me it was relatively easy to fill in any remaining details
or winnow down rambling sentences. Voila! A well-written, cohesive paper gradually appeared
before my eyes. The interesting part of
this process was I had figured out how to Dissolve
the block by coming up with an alternate approach to the problem. Previously, I would sit in front of a
computer screen or terrifyingly blank sheet of paper and force myself to remain
there until I could produce something.
The process was often interminable and painful. It was as though I had run into a brick wall
and kept backing up to ram my forehead into it time after time thinking with
the next blow I could force my way through the barrier. By trying a different route I was able to
sneak around that brick wall, and before I realized it the barricade had Dissolved with much less effort. Life can sometimes seem full of such hurdles
that prevent us from believing we can accomplish something. They hold us back and keep a door frozen shut
that we so desperately want to pass through.
If we only realized the block was not impenetrable and could be Dissolved we might merrily fling the
door open and proceed on our path. This
week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider whether there are
obstacles in our life that do not need to remain and can be Dissolved. Let us ask to be guided on how to easily
remove these barriers so we are not held back from accomplishing all that we
are meant to do in this 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 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. 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 something is Dissolved that has been an unwanted
barrier? How does it feel in my body
when I am able to find an alternate approach to a problem that helps Dissolve it with less effort? 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.
