For this Sunday, December 31st, the focus
for our meditation will be on Change. President John F. Kennedy once wrote, “Change
is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain
to miss the future.” Being resistant to Change
is so much a part of human nature. Many
of us love feeling in control and residing comfortably in the reliable predictability
of routine. Yet to be in that state for
too long could also make us eventually become stagnant and even feel
dissatisfied over time. The problem with
Change is it results in a new direction that may not be of our
choosing. It is especially challenging
when the Change is one we abhor or find disagreeable. In those instances, it may be best to simply
recognize Change is a continuum, and that pendulum will eventually swing
back in the other direction. In the
meantime, there may be a positive opportunity from a temporarily uncomfortable condition
in that it forces us to learn a new strategy for coping. We stretch and grow as a result of what may
be an unpleasant Change in our life.
Let us remember as we stand on the cusp of another new year that our
nation is also undergoing Change.
If the present circumstances are not to your liking, find solace in realizing
Change is inevitable, and this may be the time to allow the current
friction to push our country in a needed new direction we might otherwise resist
taking. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us ask for divine support in helping us learn to better
adapt to Change in our world. May
we be shown how to deal with Change in a positive way and become more
resilient as a 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 Change forces me to go in a direction I
might not have chosen? How does it feel in my body when I have survived a
Change that made me stronger and
more adaptive? 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.
