For this Sunday, September 5th, the focus for our meditation will be on Prayer. A number of my friends and neighbors are in despair at the events of the past couple of weeks. They worry about the conditions of the world their children and grandchildren will have to live in and the potential difficulties being created for them by current decisions. They are saddened at the turmoil in a faraway country with a rich cultural history that is once again in peril. I have no answer for these difficult problems. They are complex issues with many facets that I readily admit I don’t fully understand. My biggest concern is for the human impact which has the potential to be vast. When I encounter these convoluted dilemmas, my strongest ally is the power of Prayer. I may never reach a clear understanding of the issues, but I can have faith that my Prayers will be answered with a solution that is in the highest good for those involved. Rather than go down the path of despair or rage, it is so much more empowering to simply turn the problem over to Prayer. This does not mean we should become complacent or apathetic about issues where we can take direct action, but it is a much better solution in those situations where we just don’t know what to do. This week in our Prayer and meditation time let us consider the issues troubling our nation and our world. May we be guided in how to Pray for the resolution of those problems in a way that serves the highest good of all, and may we be reminded that by turning to Prayer we can find solace no matter how difficult the challenges ahead.
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 been comforted by knowing the power of Prayer is always available to me? How does it feel in my body when I have experienced the miraculous results of Prayer in the world? 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.
If you have feedback or experiences you would like to share, please let me know via e-mail to kmiritello@gmail.com
Additionally, if you have specific requests for Prayer, please email them to me as I will be attending a spiritual retreat later this month and will be honored to focus my Prayers on your intentions.
