For this Sunday, January 24th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Intention. All too often, despite my best Intentions, I find myself going through
life on autopilot just trying to clear a manageable path through the mound of
tasks that always seem to be ahead of me.
As a result, I end up feeling disappointed about things I let fall
through the cracks – not recognizing a friend’s birthday on time, not bothering
to call someone because I feel as though I can’t spare the time for a lengthy
conversation, etc. Recently, it was
something as simple as realizing a full moon had passed – one I would have
liked to have honored in some way with a ritual, but it was over before I
became aware of it. The other way that
we fail to act with Intention is by living
in the past or only dreaming about tomorrow.
Rather than racing about frantically in a perpetually distracted state,
perhaps we would be better served to take a breath, focus solely on the task at
hand, and act with full Intention in
that moment. By acting with conscious Intention we may find we are able to better
appreciate the experiences life brings us without wanting to just check off a
box and move on to the next. This week
in our prayer and meditation time let us ask to be gently guided on how to go
through life with more Intention. Let us ask to be assisted in our awareness of
how precious each moment truly is and take time to savor what life presents to
us in the here and now.
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 am aware that
I am behaving with conscious Intention
in my actions? How does it feel in my
body when I take time to expand my awareness in a way that allows me to act
with clear and focused Intention? 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.
