Meditation Instructions for Sun., January 3, 2016

For this Sunday, January 3rd, the focus for our meditation will be on Freedom.  The New Year is a time when many people make a resolution to alter their life in some way, often through the adoption of a healthy habit.  People resolve to work out more often, spend time with family, go on a diet, etc.  Their resolution entails adding a behavior that they hope will improve their life.  Metaphysically, however, before we can make a substantial change in our activities we need to prepare a space for the addition of something better by first releasing that which may be blocking us.  We want to ask, what is it that continually seems to interfere with my ability to make these changes in my life?  What is holding me back from reprogramming myself so I can move forward and shed old habits that no longer serve me?  Until we gain Freedom from these hindrances we will find ourselves struggling to incorporate a new way of thinking and being that helps us progress.  This week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider whether there are old habits, ideas, or emotions that we want to release in order to gain the Freedom we need to effect meaningful change in our life.  May we ask to be given the spiritual support that will help us shed these encumbrances and bring us the Freedom to be all that we want to be.

 

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 what do I feel in my body when I have achieved Freedom from those bad habits that I seek to shed?  How does it feel in my body when I am able to find Freedom from encumbrances in order to adopt a new way of being?  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.
