For this Sunday, April 5th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Strength. This
period of imposed isolation can be stressful, particularly for business owners or
those who have lost their means of employment and are now worried financially
about their future. For some of us
perhaps it means simply going without things we might otherwise enjoy, such as
social activities or grocery items that are out of stock. But imagine you are a child or an adult whose
only refuge from an abusive parent or partner was the time you got to spend at
school or at work. Now being cooped up
with this abuser must be unimaginably stressful for those who are subjected to
this torment. Under the best of circumstances
these victims have to tread carefully to avoid doing anything that might
trigger a violent outburst. With the ongoing
stress of our current situation it must be extraordinarily difficult to be
trapped in a home with no escape from the potential for abuse. What we are all going through right now is
likely to leave lasting changes on our societies, but I shudder to think of the
permanent damage it can cause for victims of emotional, physical, or sexual
abuse. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us focus on those who are victims of domestic or other abuse
and ask that the light and energy of our prayers form a shield of protection
and Strength around them. May the
collective energy of our prayers help Strengthen those who may be
fearful of abuse and help them find access to resources that can aid in removing
them from that situation.
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 recognize the Strength
I possess to deal with a difficult or stressful situation? How does it feel
in my body when I know I have the Strength to protect myself from those
who may wish me harm? 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.
