For this Sunday, August 26th, the focus for
our meditation will be on Intimacy. To be able to have an Intimate relationship
requires a comfortable closeness to exist.
There is an element of familiarity and trust that allows you to drop any
pretense or artifice and just be yourself.
What about people who may not be in a partnered relationship or may even
be recluses who prefer to isolate themselves from society? None of us is ever truly alone, for we always
have access to the Intimacy of Spirit in our lives. Yet, many of us spend more time craving Intimacy
with other human beings and neglect or ignore the need for Intimacy with
Spirit. So how can we cultivate greater Intimacy
with Spirit? Anything that gives us the
opportunity to feel closer and have a greater appreciation for the presence of
Spirit in our life. Obviously,
meditating and prayer can develop that affinity but many other activities can
achieve the same bond. Walking in
nature, appreciating beauty found in art, or marveling at the everyday miracle
of living beings are some of the ways to tangibly establish a connection with
Spirit. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us consider how we can seek greater Intimacy with
the Divine in our life. Let us examine
whether we neglect this aspect of our relationships and ask to be guided how to
foster a closeness and Intimacy with Spirit that will support us in
every way.
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 am aware of
the presence of Spirit in my life and the divine Intimacy that allows me to feel fully supported? How does it
feel in my body when I have a sense of closeness with Spirit that enables an Intimacy unlike any other relationship?
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.
