For this Sunday, March 11th, the focus for
our meditation will be on Forgiveness. A few years ago I was at a party where one of
the attendees was a young woman named Priscilla Keresey whom I had known since
grade school. Priscilla wasn’t my
contemporary but was several years behind me, and I hadn’t seen her in
decades. As we got caught up over conversation
I was amazed to learn she had become a psychic medium who was able to speak to
spirits who had crossed over (check her out at http://apracticalpsychic.com/). Priscilla casually mentioned having written
some books about her experiences, and although it took me some time I finally
sought them out and recently began reading them. The stories are funny, moving, encouraging
and often contained a repeated message from our loved ones “on the other side”
that we are better off not wasting time being so judgmental of ourselves and
others. Many of the spirits she brings
through for her clients echo the same message – let go of anger, resentment and
grudges, for they don’t serve you.
Additionally, even though many of these people had been difficult to
live with, in spirit they lose that sense of criticism and urge their loved
ones to be more Forgiving, especially with themselves. We all have an internal critic, and for some
it can be relentless in never wanting to let go of past mistakes. When we allow that internal voice to
continually berate us it can rob us of our self-esteem and confidence and keep
us from being able to move forward. The
internal critic wants to keep us in the past, constantly replaying some misstep
that occurred. The messages that come
through from spirit remind us that once this life is over we will see how
unnecessary all this angst and self-flagellation can be. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us look at ourselves with greater compassion and be guided to Forgiveness
for any failings we may be unable to release.
Let us asked to be shown how to grant as well as receive Forgiveness
so we are able to move forward and not remain stuck in past mistakes.
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 been able
to Forgive myself and release past
failings? How does it feel in my body when I am able to accept my
mistakes and move on knowing I am worth of being Forgiven? 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.
