For this Sunday, October 11th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Sharing. In a talk by author Dr. Brené Brown she
speaks about her belief that she cannot be truly happy until all people in the
world experience happiness. This belief
stems from her strong awareness of our Shared
connection to the rest of humanity. If
others are in pain and suffering then none of us can be completely at peace and
totally happy. However, our
connectedness does not mean we must necessarily adopt their pain and abandon
our own happiness. The connectedness
works in all directions, so we can also transmit to others some of our happiness
in a way that may help ease their distress.
If enough people around the world were willing to Share the sense of joy or contentment they experience it may be
possible for these positive emotions to gradually radiate around the entire
globe. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us ponder what we find ourselves Sharing with the rest of the world.
Do we radiate anger and resentment, or do we make a purposeful attempt
to Share instead simple moments of
joy, feeling confident that someone else out there may benefit from that energy. Let us maintain an awareness of our
connectedness to others and ask to be gently reminded to Share the abundance of our joy with the world.
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 recognize how I am
connected to others and gladly Share
the positive feelings that I have? How
does it feel in my body when I appreciate the abundance of goodness in my life
and consciously Share this joy with
others in need? 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.
