For this Sunday, April 22nd, the focus for
our meditation will be on Uniqueness. From a young age most of us learn it is best
to blend in with the crowd. Our youth is
often spent trying to navigate the tricky path of determining what is “in” and what
is “out” with everyone else as we work hard to seek the approval of
others. We want to be accepted, and to
be accepted we often feel we must appear to be like those we are trying to
please. How bland life would be if
indeed we were all alike! Each of us has
different talents and gifts that make us Unique from each other. By trying to fit in with the crowd we may be
tempted to deny these gifts and suppress our talents. It isn’t until we eventually come to realize
we are here on earth in this lifetime to learn how to fully use the abilities
we brought with us that we are able to come into our own. It may take some courage to reveal to the
world our Uniqueness. I’m not
suggesting we all run out and fly our freak flag, but we would be better served
if we allowed ourselves to demonstrate to the world what makes us Unique
and different from everyone else. This
week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider what makes us Unique
as an individual. Let us ask what gifts
and talents we have brought into the world that we want to allow to
flourish. By coming to an understanding
of who we truly are and how we are Unique in contrast to everyone else
it enables us to better appreciate the differences between people. May we encourage individuality to sweep
across this nation and allow all to show what makes them Unique and
different from others. Once we have
gathered the courage to display our Uniqueness may others feel safe and supported
in doing the same.
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 recognize what
makes me Unique as an individual
from others? How does it feel in my body when I have the courage to show
my Uniqueness to the world without
fear of judgment or rejection? 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.
