For this Sunday, May 27th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Perseverance. This Memorial Day weekend we pause to
commemorate our fallen military who died in service to their country. Many tales of their heroism convey the depths
of their Perseverance as they remained undaunted by unimaginable
challenges. Time and again stories of
being vastly outnumbered, suffering from wounds and the attrition of their military
unit, or facing desperate situations these brave heroes managed to set aside
their fears and Persevere despite the odds. Some did live to tell their tale, but their
body and mind bear witness to the scars of their experience. Others paid the ultimate sacrifice, and the
full account of their exploits may never be known. While some might flippantly attribute sheer
luck to their survival it becomes clear their unwillingness to concede defeat
likely played a much greater role. Most
of us thankfully will never find ourselves in such dire circumstances that our
actual life is at stake. Instead we have
a lifetime of other challenges and disappointments we must navigate; the
mundane stressors of work, school and family life that can still take us down. This weekend in our prayer and meditation
time let us ponder the tenacity and Perseverance demonstrated by our
fallen military and seek to emulate their courage in our daily life. Let us ask to be filled with an abundance of
inspiration and hope in the face of life’s problems that give us the Perseverance
needed to overcome all trials.
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 summon the courage to Persevere
in the face of a challenge? How does it feel in my body when I remain
undaunted by difficulties and am able to Persevere
to find solutions? 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.
