For this Sunday, January 5th, the focus for
our meditation will be on Protection.
I was fortunate to only serve in a peacetime military and never had to
experience an armed conflict. I did,
however, know many people who had served in combat and not a single one would ever
be characterized as a warmonger. Those
who have been in battle know all too well its hazards. It tends to change those who are thrust into
the unspeakable horrors of war. This
week our military troops began an overseas deployment to a very unstable region
in the world. I will not debate the merits
of whether their deployment is warranted.
From my perspective it is not about the high-stakes chess match of
international diplomacy but has more to do with human lives pitted against
others in the name of defense. You can
support those individuals who have sacrificed much by serving in the military
without supporting the politics that cause them to be sent into danger. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us fully apply our energy to create a light of Protection for all
members of our military forces who are now potentially on the cusp of an armed
conflict. May they be embraced by our
light and feel supported and Protected from harm as they carry out their
duties. Additionally, may their loved
ones be comforted and assured as they await their safe return home, knowing
they are surrounded by the energy of Protection.
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 know I am
being Protected from harm by the prayers of others? How does it feel
in my body when I am supported and Protected through those who care for
me? 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.
