For this Sunday, June 7th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Movement. Social
media has been a popular forum for sharing the numerous creative memes that ask
for a “reboot” of the year 2020. There
is another theme with a Bingo card populated with implausible events that all
seem to be converging in reality. I can
certainly appreciate the wish to begin the year anew in the hope it turns out
differently. This desire is driven by
our innate aversion to unpleasant or difficult circumstances. But life doesn’t work like a video game; there
is no “do-over” button. I know in my
life I have made decisions or taken paths I wouldn’t have otherwise taken if
not for a spiritual kick in the pants that forced me in that direction. In hindsight it became clear that the right
path had been chosen, and I was eventually grateful for what may have initially
appeared as an unwelcome incentive to change.
The challenges we are facing today present an opportunity to Move
our world in a different direction. Rather
than lapse back into complacency we can use the current flood of emotion to
finally push us over a tipping point and Move forward to introduce
needed change. It would be disgraceful
if recent events simply became another milestone in a continuation of the long
history of intolerance and injustice inequitably forced on certain segments of
society. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us ask that we please be willing to Move away from
the pain and hatred that seem to fill our world. May we find a way to gain significant forward
Movement that allows us to finally abandon the prejudice plaguing our
nation. Let the light and energy of our
prayers be lifted up to help Move the hearts of those who have resisted
this change for far too long.
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
making forward Movement that is helping me to grow? How does it feel
in my body when I am willing to Move in a needed direction rather than
remain apathetic? 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.
