For this Sunday, July 4th, the focus for our meditation will be on Confidence. I am fortunate to have been fully vaccinated for several months, but I still find myself struggling with being in situations where I am in a group of people and unmasked, such as eating in a restaurant. It is getting easier to do, and I keep telling myself I really have no reason to be concerned since there is such miniscule risk as compared to those who haven’t yet been vaccinated. Part of the worry stems from the psychological stress we have all been under with months of having to take precautions and remain physically isolated from others. On one level I know I don’t need to continue to be anxious but, on another level, there is still some residual apprehension. I have to keep reminding myself I have every reason to have Confidence in the vaccine and its effectiveness. It is an unusual circumstance for me because for most of my life I have felt very Confident. There have been times I was Confident I had no idea what I was doing, but I also felt certain I would somehow figure things out. So, to experience a lack of Confidence is quite foreign to me. I know others out there are experiencing the same struggle, and so I would ask that this week in our prayer and meditation time we examine those aspects of our life where we might benefit from a greater level of Confidence. Ask for assistance in identifying where we continue to lack Confidence and then to receive guidance on how to bolster our faith and trust. Through the light and energy of our prayers may more people come to feel Confident about themselves and shed the worries that needlessly hold them back.
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 I have genuine Confidence in myself or others? How does it feel in my body when I have been able to summon the Confidence needed to get through a challenging situation? 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.
