For this Sunday, March 6th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Beauty. There is a video circulating on social media
in which a photographer approaches individuals and asks to take their picture. Just as they are ready to snap the photograph
they tell the person they are looking for images that are Beautiful. It is interesting
to see how people react to this statement.
Some seem suspicious and don’t want to believe the photographer, others
are moved to tears, and many completely brighten when being told someone sees Beauty in them. Right now the world and nation seem so filled
with ugliness, hatred and discord. It is
easy to become sucked into that darkness and feel discouraged or perhaps want
to respond with equal visceral negativity.
The only way to counter the ugliness that is present is to instead fill
the space around us with Beauty. It doesn’t require any makeover in terms of
physical appearance. Real inner Beauty is something we project when we
are filled with light and the more positive emotions such as hope, love and
compassion. In our prayer and meditation
time this week let us consciously seek to bring Beauty into the world through our thoughts, words and actions. Rather than react with negativity when we
encounter ugliness may we be moved to neutralize it with Beauty instead. Let us be
mindful of what we project to our surroundings and find ways to be filled with a
light that will emanate Beauty to
those around us and more positively influence them to mirror the same.
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 recognize the Beauty I possess that goes far beyond
physical appearance? How does it feel in
my body when I am aware of the Beauty
that comes from being completely filled with light? 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.
