For this Sunday, August 3rd, the focus for our meditation
will be on Imagination. In his book of Toltec wisdom, “The Four Agreements,” Don Miguel Ruiz
writes about our ability to change our reality by altering our perceptions and
thoughts. He encourages the reader by
writing, “Imagine that you have
permission to be happy and to really enjoy your life,” “Imagine living your life without the fear of being judged by others,”
“Imagine living without the fear of
loving and not being loved,” and my favorite, “Imagine living your life without being afraid to take a risk and
explore life.” His book explains in a
profoundly simple way how we have the power and ability to eliminate so much of
the unhappiness in our life that we ourselves create. By changing how we think or feel about different
circumstances it frees us from the false rules and agreements we have created
that we feel obligated to honor. Looking
at life from this viewpoint opens up a huge realm of possibility for us. After all, our limitations are set only by
what is beyond our Imagination. This week in our prayer and meditation let us
ask ourselves how might we want to Imagine
our lives to be different from what we are living today. How could my life be altered if I were able
to reach beyond the bounds of what currently defines me and Imagine something even greater?
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 I am able to freely use my Imagination in creating new
alternatives for my life? How does it
feel in my body when I unleash my Imagination
and discover I am capable of more than I previously expected? 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.
