For this Sunday, September 3rd, the focus for
our meditation will be on Prayer. Images from the devastating effects of Hurricane
Harvey continue to capture our attention in the news and on social media. I’ve never experienced a natural disaster
such as a major earthquake, flood, or wildfire first-hand and can’t truly
fathom how life-altering these events can be for the families and business
owners who live in their path. Watching
the desperate rescue efforts and seeing all the loss people experience can
leave one feeling so powerless.
Thankfully, numerous stories abound of regular citizens stepping in to
do what they can to help by bringing boats into areas under water, or offering
food, shelter and clothing for those displaced by the storm. Self-organized rescue and relief efforts provide
a valuable sense of optimism about the power of the human spirit under
difficult circumstances. For those of us
not able to physically lend a hand we need not feel entirely helpless,
however. The power of Prayer is
always at our disposal, and I am a deep believer in its miraculous workings. This week in our Prayer and meditation
time let us lend our support to all people in our nation currently impacted by
tragedy and natural disaster. May we ask
that those who serve as emergency responders conduct their rescue operations in
safety. Let the support of our Prayers
help sustain those who need to rebuild their lives, and may these events bring
out only the best and most charitable traits in all those who seek to come to
the assistance of others.
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 observed
the miracles that can come from Prayer?
How does it feel in my body when I have felt supported and embraced by others
through the power of Prayer?
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.
