For this Sunday, January 4th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Relations. As we enter a new year historic changes in
the Relations between the United
States and Cuba are taking place. For
the first time in decades, commercial and economic sanctions will be eased, and
eventually unfettered travel by citizens to both countries will be
resumed. The easing of diplomatic
tensions finally came about following the personal appeal of Pope Francis to
the leaders of both nations. His request
for forgiveness of disputes between the two and a restoration of full
diplomatic Relations sets a model
for us to follow not just on the national stage but throughout this entire country. This first Sunday of 2015 let us send the
energy and light of our prayers and meditation across this land to ask that Relations be improved at all
levels. May we see in 2015 a healing of Relations among all people in this
nation so that those of color, those of different ethnicities, and those of
different faiths all live in harmony.
May our prayers for a healing of Relations
ease the distrust and tensions that have built up between our citizens and law
enforcement officers. As our local,
state, and federal governments resume their legislative sessions and especially
as the buildup begins toward next year’s presidential election may the
intransigence of both parties be abandoned for a sincere desire for
bipartisanship and cooperation. Through
our prayers may we see this nation move forward and heal those Relations that are hampering our full potential
to live up to the sacred covenants by which we were created.
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 value the importance of
the Relations I need to maintain
with others? How does it feel in my body
when I am able to establish healthy Relations
with others that mutually benefit us all?
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.
