For this Sunday, April 3rd, the focus for our meditation will be on Lessons. I never understand when someone says they wish they were young again or could go back in time why they really feel that way. Sure, there is something to be said about having the vigor or innocence of youth, but there isn’t much else that would appeal to me to return to those years. I’ve heard people ruefully say if they only had the chance to live their life over, they would not make some of the same mistakes again. We’ve all made mistakes if only because none of us is perfect. When I look back on the mistakes I’ve made along the way I prefer to focus instead on what Lessons did I gain as a result? For each and every one of them I can usually identify something positive that came out of the mistake. My life took a direction it otherwise would not have taken, or I learned something so invaluable that it helped me avoid making that same mistake again. After all, isn’t it through our mistakes that we often gain the wisdom we accumulate over life? Rather than regret the errors of our past, let us instead consider how the Lessons they provided were beneficial. This month in our prayer and meditation time let us reflect on when we have made mistakes in our life and how they may have helped rather than hurt us. Let us ask to more clearly see the positive Lessons we were given from those mistakes so we may find an appreciation for the growth they enabled.
In our efforts this month 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 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 can appreciate the Lesson I have learned as a result of a mistake? How does it feel in my body when I recognize the growth that occurred from the Lessons I could only have gained through my mistakes? 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.
