For this Sunday, March 8th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Femininity.
This is a time that has been foretold as seeing the rise of the sacred Feminine. Some might interpret that literally and
expect to see more women rise into positions of power and authority. However, a more expansive understanding is to
recognize both genders possess Feminine qualities, and this is the time
when those characteristics will become more valued and honored. Our Feminine side is represented
through compassion, caring and nurturing, and the desire for peace. This latter trait does not mean our Feminine
side is entirely pacifist – it can just as easily prompt a fierceness when
needed to defend or protect others. It
is also a creative energy that can manifest new ways of being and new solutions
for the problems we face. These qualities
are desperately needed right now, but the source for them in the world needs to
be each of us. There are many ways to
embrace and extend the energy of the sacred Feminine. Consider creating a ritual of your own that
pays homage to the mother energy of the earth, to an ancient female deity such
as Lakshmi or Sekhmet, or to the more traditional Blessed Virgin Mary. Ask that the qualities represented by the
divine Feminine be mirrored in you as you move through the world. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us consider how we might better honor the sacred Feminine in each of
us. Let us ask to be guided in how to
nurture those Feminine spiritual qualities that are so needed right now. May we use the energy and light of our
prayers to help others appreciate the Feminine qualities we all possess
and cherish their presence in the world.
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 Feminine qualities that help make me a better person? How does
it feel in my body when I am able to recognize the Feminine in everyone
and honor what it contributes to the world? 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.
