For this Sunday, March 28th, the focus for our meditation will be on Renewal. As we slowly emerge from the winter season and this pandemic it is time to concentrate on finding Renewal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It can be easy to feel that Renewal is something that will occur automatically simply with the change in seasons. After all, our enrollment in subscription services and membership programs may be set up to automatically Renew without any effort on our part other than updating credit card information every few years. But this process of personal Renewal is something that deserves our more conscious attention. It may require us to take action to slough off whatever we have accumulated along the way that no longer serves us. We might need to change our habits, learn new patterns, and find ways to restore those aspects of our life that are feeling neglected. For me, the period of Lent has always been about Renewal of spirit. While it can also be a period of sacrifice and fasting, those practices may be needed to help remove blocks and restore a feeling of balance and new beginnings. We might want to look back to see what would be beneficial to change and then look ahead to envision how things could be if we underwent the transformation of Renewal. This week in our prayer and meditation time let us examine our life to find where we may be in need of restoration of our physical, emotional and spiritual being. Let us ask for the inspiration to be drawn to practices that help bring about a Renewal of our being and enable us to emerge from a period of darkness even stronger than before.
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 experienced a period of Renewal that restores and brings into balance all aspects of my life? How does it feel in my body when I have embraced practices that help Renew my spirit? 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.
