For this Sunday, December 23rd, the focus
for our meditation will be on Light. This past week we experienced the Winter
Solstice which marks the shortest day of the year and the beginning of longer
days with more available Light.
As we proceed toward the Winter Solstice in the fall we find the evening
darkness coming earlier and earlier, and it can be a time that leaves people
feeling less energized. There is another
source of darkness beyond mere lack of illumination. Although I have yet to hear a satisfying
explanation as to why it is present in the world there is beyond a doubt a
darkness in the form of evil. The
interesting thing about evil is it thrives on darkness and is repelled by the Light. In the presence of meanness, the purposeful
intent to harm others, or other ways in which evil is manifested, it can be
tempting to respond in like manner. Yet
the only thing that reduces the impact of evil in the world is to bring greater
Light. I have a metaphysical
practice I do where when some wrongdoing has happened I surround the perpetrator
in Light. I do this to help
authorities find the offender, to potentially alert innocents and make them
aware of the person’s true nature so they can avoid encounters with them, and
to presumably make the wrongdoer feel uncomfortable by the presence of Light
so they shrink back into the darkness rather than be at liberty to operate
freely in the world. This week in our
prayer and meditation as we proceed into the Light and leave the Winter
Solstice behind let us consciously think of where we can serve to amplify the Light
that is present in our world. Rather
than rail against darkness let us focus on shining greater Light and
through this practice make those with evil intent realize their bad conduct will
not be tolerated. May the energy and Light
of our prayers help fill our homes, communities and nation with an abundance of
Light that leaves no room for darkness.
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 in the
presence of a vibrant source of Light
that makes everyone around it feel protected and full of goodness? How
does it feel in my body when I intentionally increase the Light I project into the world to help diminish the darkness that
might otherwise be present? 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.
