For this Sunday, June 10th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Patience. We are increasingly becoming an instant
gratification society. Online retailers
promise overnight delivery so we don’t have to be without those material things
we desire. Easy access to credit makes
it possible to get what you want now rather than having to wait and plan or
budget for the purchase. In my
professional life I teach people a skill that is difficult to master and filled
with complex nuances and subtleties in its application. Yet I continually encounter people who while
admittedly quite bright mistakenly think this content can be distilled down
from a full day of training to a few bullet points so they can be off and
running with their new presumed ability.
We don’t like to wait for things, but life is filled with instances
where instant gratification is not what serves us best. Having Patience and being willing to
wait for something requires trust that what will ultimately manifest for us
will come at the right time and place. Very
early in my work life I was turned down for what at the time I thought was
absolutely the right job for me. I was
devastated at the rejection. Yet not too
long afterwards another opportunity opened up that turned out to be a much more
fulfilling and rewarding career than what the first job would have
offered. While upset at the initial
perceived failure I had faith in myself and was willing to be Patient
until something else turned up. I just
knew the universe would support what I wanted to do with my life for I felt so
strongly that it was focused on making this world a better place. Patience demands trust and faith so that
we can better accept when things take longer or turn out differently than we
expect knowing the right opportunity will eventually come to us. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us ask that we all be filled with more Patience. May we learn to trust the universe and have
faith we will be supported in our goals and thus reduce the stress we too
easily create for ourselves. As we each
adopt the ability to have more Patience may this trait also spread
across this land and help relieve so much of the tension our country is feeling.
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 importance of being Patient and
waiting for the right solution? How does it feel in my body when I have
found the faith and trust required to be Patient
and allow the universe to act in its own way and time? 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.
