For this Sunday, January 18th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Consciousness. I was
startled to find that in the almost seven years this weekly meditation practice
has been in existence this is the first time the focus is Consciousness. As surprised
as I was to realize I had not used this topic before I have to assume it is
because it was meant to come in its own right time. What prompted this topic was learning of the
amazing results in the San Francisco school system after they instituted a
twice-daily meditation period in which all students are required to participate. It began in a middle school and then expanded
to include even high schools. The
students seem to love it and talk of how it helps increase their focus and
concentration. In other words, it brings
them greater Consciousness. Violence and suspensions have significantly
decreased while attendance and grades have increased. In schools where fights were a regular
occurrence they are now the exception. Children
who were angry use the meditation to let go of their anger. Personalities change for the better. What excites me most is to think of how those
schools are producing an entire generation of young people who will go out into
the world with more Consciousness. The positive effect that is bound to ripple
across society fills me with optimism for our country’s future. This week in our prayer and meditation let us
connect with this population of students in San Francisco and add our energy to
theirs from all points across this land.
May this connected web of Consciousness
grow a strong foundation from which the future of our nation may be secured and
enable us to reach our full potential for the highest good.
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 achieve a
higher Consciousness through my
meditation and prayer practice? How does
it feel in my body when I am able to bring that greater Consciousness into all aspects of my life? 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.
