For this Sunday, December 17th, the focus
for our meditation will be on Guidance. In dark times it can be so easy to feel alone
and overcome by events. Our nation is
going through a period of turmoil in the heart of our society as well as in politics
that seems unrelenting. There are many
who wonder what the next crisis will bring and question whether they can
tolerate the unending chaos much longer.
As a reminder that we are never alone, Helen Keller once said, “I believe there are angels among us, sent
down to us from somewhere up above. They
come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us
how to give, to Guide us with a light of love.” Whether you believe in angels, divine beings,
Mother Mary, Jesus, or even spirit guides, it doesn’t matter – the point is there
are others always present to support and Guide us when we feel
lost. The most helpful thing we can do
when feeling overwhelmed is to take time to perceive the connection we have
with our Guidance. Sometimes the
connection can be quite palpable and at other times it may be harder to
recognize, but they are always there just waiting for us to call on them for
assistance. Rather than continuing to
struggle on our own during difficult periods let us remember to reach out to those
who are available to help Guide us here on earth. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us ask to be shown how to strengthen our connection with Guidance
and gently reminded of their perpetual accessibility. Let us also ask that those in positions of
power and leadership come to recognize the presence and importance of Guidance
and learn to rely on them for direction.
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
recognized the presence of divine Guidance
for direction in my life? How does it feel in my body when my awareness
of Guidance helps sustain me through
difficult periods? 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.
