For this Sunday, May 15th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Balance. Have
you ever had a profound spiritual experience such as might happen if you
attended a religious weekend retreat and then found it difficult to reintegrate
back into the real world? These
experiences teach us that the mundane world and the spiritual world are not
entirely separate from each other.
Rather than feeling they are an “either-or” option we want to recognize
that we can feel present and connected to our routine, daily environment and
that special spiritual domain simultaneously.
Just as we might straddle a line between the edge of a river and the
adjoining bank we can be in Balance
with one foot on earth and the other foot in the spiritual realm at the same
time. When we are aware of the Balance that can exist between these
two worlds it allows us to feel the synergy of their presence and appreciate what
each offers us. Depending on the
circumstances, there may be moments when one appears to contribute more than
the other, but both provide us with the various elements of sustenance we need
to go through our daily life. This week
in our prayer and meditation time let us consider how we maintain a Balance between the spiritual world and
our everyday world. Let us ask to be assisted
to feel the connection that can be present simultaneously between the two and
be shown ways to better Balance our
presence in both domains.
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 Balance that exists in my connection to
the spiritual world and a physical one?
How does it feel in my body when I am aware of being simultaneously
connected and in Balance between two
realms? 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.
