For this Sunday, December 20th, the focus for our meditation will be on Gratitude. I wonder if when Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, wrote, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” he had any inkling how relevant this beloved story would become. This year has taken so much away from us. We have lost friends, colleagues and loved ones to a global pandemic. People have had their businesses and life savings dissolve before their eyes. Many have become unemployed and are struggling to put food on the table never mind find the means to fulfill a child’s wish list of gifts. Yet, just as the people of Whoville in the classic tale awaken on Christmas morning to gather and celebrate the day we, too, can find the means to recognize all for which we want to be Grateful in our lives. We may not be able to gather in person with friends and family to celebrate, but we can still feel their presence in our heart. This week in our prayer and meditation time let us focus on all that we do have rather than that which we have lost. Let us fill our hearts with Gratitude for health, friendship, and the support of Spirit that is always present to help us through difficult times.
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 can identify even something small in my life for which I have Gratitude? How does it feel in my body when I am able to focus with Gratitude on all that I do have rather than what I may have lost? 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.
