For this Sunday, April 26th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Ingenuity. The
adage, “necessity is the mother of invention,” has certainly been proven
repeatedly under current stay-at-home restrictions. Each day I see Ingenious ways people
have found to deal with not just boredom but also the lack of basic
necessities. People have been incredibly
creative in finding ways to make their own protective face masks. Educators have shown tremendous Ingenuity
in modifying lesson plans and learning how to hold classes remotely for their
students. Families come up with ways to
extend food staples and discover alternative recipes to provide some welcome
variety at mealtimes. Performers put on
spontaneous shows and entertain us from their living rooms and backyards over
the Internet. I will be curious to see
how this new level of Ingenuity continues long after the restrictions
lift. Perhaps we will rely less on
excuses as to why we can’t do something having now shown ourselves we can find
a way to figure out almost anything when we have no other choice. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us support the creative spark that feeds our Ingenuity and helps us
identify novel solutions to problems both big and small. May everyone be encouraged to continue to use
their Ingenuity going forward in a way that makes life easier and more
enjoyable.
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 come up
with Ingenious ways to solve problems? How does it feel in my body
when I discover an untapped reservoir of Ingenuity that helps me
creatively deal with challenges? 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.
