For this Sunday, June 25th, the focus for
our meditation will be on Limitations.
I’ve always been a
characteristically optimistic individual by nature. Typically, I prefer to dwell in possibility
rather than probability. More often than
not that sense of positive enthusiasm has seen me through many challenging
situations, but there also have been instances when it has led me down a path
that has ultimately been less beneficial.
In the latter circumstance, those have been occasions when I have
stubbornly tried to drive ahead even in the face of numerous signs hinting that
I should pause and recognize my Limitations. When I try to force things, problems often
arise. None of us likes to admit we have
constraints on our abilities. Many of us
try to go through life like over-achieving super heroes until inevitably this
game plan trips us up. In being more
realistic and accepting our Limitations we may better accomplish those
goals we can reach. We are able to
reprioritize our resources and pursue a task at a higher level of performance
than if we try to go beyond what is practical and perhaps fall short entirely
of any progress. Acknowledging that we
can only do so much in some circumstances can also relieve much of the stress
and guilt we tend to carry. We somehow
think these emotions will spur us on, but in reality they weigh us down. Instead of struggling against restrictions, we
often perform better when we let go of impractical expectations and accept what
may be more feasible. This week in our
prayer and meditation time let us ponder whether we need assistance recognizing
our Limitations. Let us ask
whether we too often blindly try to pursue a goal and may be better served
scaling back and achieving what is ultimately a more realistic objective.
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 my Limitations and accept them in a way
that frees me from failure? How does it feel in my body when I am able to
better align my efforts with my Limitations
and ultimately accomplish what may be more practical? 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.
