For this Sunday, May 23rd, the focus for our meditation will be on Elation. I felt positively giddy with Elation the first time I was recently able to be inside with others without having to wear a mask. It wasn’t so much not having to breathe through a mask but had more to do with being able to see other people smile again. You could see on the expressions of other people’s faces that they, too, were thrilled at once again having the freedom to be without a mask and actually socialize with friends and neighbors. I want to always remember that moment and savor how such a simple experience sparked incredible feelings of Elation. It just goes to show you don’t need to spend money or travel to far-flung places or do anything exotic to become Elated; sometimes you just need to appreciate all that makes each moment special and unique in our life. This week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider what makes us experience Elation. Let us ask whether we truly allow ourselves to linger in those special moments, or are we resuming life at such a pace that we rush by and fail to recognize how special they can be in elevating our spirits.
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 moment of Elation from the simplest of occasions? How does it feel in my body when I allow myself to really savor those moments in life that cause me to feel genuine Elation? 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.
