For this Sunday, June 20th, the focus for our meditation will be on Accomplishment. I have always been puzzled by people who near the end of their professional lives and have regrets at not having Accomplished more. The vast majority of them I consider to have had very productive lives that contributed a great deal to their workplaces and communities. So, it leaves me mystified as to why they feel they have not done enough. I recall former colleagues who felt robbed of their identity upon the day of their retirement as though it had somehow erased all they had Accomplished. My ex-husband had four different careers, any one of which people would have been envious to have had, but after retirement he routinely bemoaned that he was not able to continue to serve in his former capacities. Relatively few people ever achieve fame and stardom, but that does not diminish the Accomplishments of everyday people who have gone about their lives with relative anonymity yet had enormous positive impacts on those around them. When we dismiss what we have achieved in our life we are essentially belittling ourselves. If we instead are gracious in acknowledging what we have achieved it can make us more ready to encourage recognition for the Accomplishments of others. This week in our prayer and meditation time let us reflect on what we have Accomplished thus far. Let us find a way to feel satisfied with what we have contributed without judgment that we have fallen short of expectations. By reconciling our self-worth with a life well-lived may we ultimately inspire others to follow in our footsteps.
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 recognize all that I have Accomplished that has made a positive contribution to my world? How does it feel in my body when I feel satisfied with what I have been able to Accomplish thus far in my life? 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.
