Meditation Instructions for Sun., February 26, 2017

For this Sunday, February 26th, the focus for our meditation will be on Discomfort.  No one enjoys being in Discomfort.  Whether from emotional or physical pain the experience is one that can bring a craving for release so strong it leads people to addiction.  Yet Discomfort can also serve a beneficial purpose.  It can be a critical signal to listen to our body when we are trying to do too much.  Those occasional feelings of Discomfort can also be telling us to take notice of our surroundings and the situations we find ourselves in.  Sometimes our body creates a sense of uneasiness to alert us to danger or to get us to reconsider a wrong decision.  Discomfort can be the impetus needed to get us to act, particularly when it involves change.  Rather than turning to substances that deaden the pain we may be better served attending to those signals and altering our behavior.  This week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider those moments when we have been in Discomfort and the powerful lessons that can be manifest from the pain we experience.  Let us ask to be given greater clarity in times of Discomfort so we recognize the signals that suggest a different direction be taken, and may we come to appreciate the positive change that can result.

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 experience Discomfort that provides me with an important signal about a change that needs to be made?  How does it feel in my body when I recognize the importance of Discomfort and the lessons it can bring?  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.
