For this Sunday, May 1st, the focus for our
meditation will be on Adventure. It
is so easy with the hectic life we lead to fall into a routine that never
offers us a challenge in terms of adaptability.
We have all the modern conveniences and the predictability of day-to-day
patterns that can insulate us from being stretched beyond our comfort zone. By contrast, consider the Adventure some of our ancestors
experienced when they chose to board a ship for an ocean crossing for what they
hoped would be a better life in a new land.
Or, those Adventurous settlers
who made the hazardous journey across the plains and Rocky Mountains to seek
fortune during the Gold Rush. With such Adventure there may be inherent risks
but also unimaginable rewards. Being on
the cusp of an Adventure can bring a
sense of invigorating excitement along with some trepidation as to what
awaits. Forcing ourselves to face the
unknown in this way demands not only flexibility but also puts us in a position
of having to tap inner resources that might otherwise remain dormant. We discover new aspects to ourselves and come
through an Adventure having expanded
our capabilities. How would you like to
create Adventure in your life? This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us ask if there is a way even in the routine of modern life to experience Adventure that brings us growth. May we be shown how to use Adventure to explore our inner
strengths and reveal our untapped potential.
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
experienced a stirring Adventure in
my life? How does it feel in my body
when I realize the growth that can occur from taking part in an Adventure? 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.
