For this Sunday, July 2nd, the focus for our
meditation will be on Dependence. This week we celebrate the July 4th
holiday, also known as Independence Day.
The holiday commemorates our nation gaining its independence from
the British. As Americans, we can be
fiercely proud of our independence, yet we need to recognize it comes
with a caveat. In today’s world no
country is completely free of reliance on others. National alliances are critical to
maintaining global peace and require mutual agreements and Dependencies
on the support each contributes. These
relationships can be delicate balances that require a great deal of
communication, compromise and consideration to maintain. Similarly in our personal life, none of us is
totally independent of others.
We, too, require assistance in a variety of ways, and it can take much
effort to foster those relationships on which we are Dependent. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us consider those associations that are most important in our life and the
people on whom we are gratefully Dependent. Let us come to appreciate the importance of
being able to Depend on others for support and find ways to better
nurture those partnerships.
Additionally, let us ask that our nation always value the allegiance and
backing of other like-minded countries.
Let us remember that we will always be stronger when allied with those
on whom we Depend rather than stubbornly trying to go it alone.
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 am
appreciative of those on whom I am Dependent
in my life? How does it feel in my body when I recognize the importance
of nurturing relationships I can Depend
upon? 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.
