For this Sunday, July 5th, the focus for our meditation will
be on Sanctuary. Our nation was created by our Founders years ago
as a place of refuge for those seeking to be rid of oppression. It offers guaranteed basic rights to all its
citizens and affords them the opportunity to speak openly without fear of
reprisal or to worship as they wish. Since
then this land has become known as a Sanctuary
where others may flee to live in safety.
Recent accounts of refugees who left their former homelands because of
war or political upheaval and subsequently became naturalized citizens fill one
with pride. We are so very fortunate by
mere virtue of our birthplace to be able to live the way we do without worry of
persecution. As we celebrate a holiday weekend
commemorating our nation’s independence, let us also give thanks that we are
able to live so freely. Let us use the
light and energy of our prayers and meditation to support those in need of Sanctuary that they may find a place of
safety and refuge where they feel accepted with open arms.
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 in a place of Sanctuary that surrounds me with peace and
tranquility? How does it feel in my body
when I know where I live presents me with a Sanctuary of safety and security?
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.
