For this Sunday, May 26th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Risk. Life often involves having to
take Risks. We might want to deny
its presence or go through life trying to minimize or avoid Risk
altogether, but inevitably we come face-to-face with those moments when we are
on the precipice of unfamiliar territory.
It may be a circumstance where we feel we are woefully unprepared or
have had no prior training or experience to help guide us. That is where the phrase, “making a leap of
faith,” comes in, for when we encounter these situations, we must take the
plunge and hope for the best. It is
faith in ourselves or in divine assistance or whatever gives us courage that
allows us to take a deep breath and forge ahead into uncertainty. What is often surprising is how well things turn
out on the other side. We look back with
amazement and may feel a sense of relief or even pride at what we were able to
accomplish. It is in these moments that
we achieve our greatest growth, for we pushed ourselves beyond our comfort zone
and found we did better than expected.
We gain confidence in our abilities and can tackle other life challenges
with greater enthusiasm. This week in
our prayer and meditation time let us consider how we deal with Risk in
our life. Do we run in the opposite
direction and try to avoid Risk at all costs, or do we take a chance and
give ourselves the opportunity for growth by giving it our best shot? Let us ask to be given more faith in
ourselves and an increased awareness of the spiritual assistance available to
us so we may step forward confidently and face life’s inevitable Risks
head on.
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 taken a Risk and come out a better person as a
result? How does it feel in my body when I do not fear Risk but am able to summon the courage
to deal with it directly? 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.
