Welcome to Day 11 of Lent,
My dear friends.
Today,
Let us clear our minds so we can be free to experience a transformation of consciousness,
An awakening.
I invite you to be still,
Adopt an attitude of gratitude and non-judgment,
And embrace a spirit of peace and loving-kindness.
In the book of Romans,
Chapter 12,
Paul encourages us to not conform to the pattern of this world,
But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Let us clear our minds so we can be free to experience a transformation of consciousness,
An awakening.
Let us be open,
Let us be welcoming,
Let us be open and welcoming to a transformation of consciousness,
An awakening.
Let us not be conformed by the systems of power in this world.
Let us clear our minds of the ways we have been shaped by the culture and subcultures around us.
Let us unlearn what we have learned.
Let us clear our minds,
And then,
Let us renew our minds.
I invite you to embrace a transformation of consciousness,
An awakening to be inwardly transformed.
A renewal that fully embraces a heart and mindset of peace and loving-kindness.
A spirit of peace and loving-kindness.
A transformation into peace and loving-kindness.
Be still,
Be peace,
Be loving-kindness.
As the music fades and the guided portion of this meditation comes to a close,
I welcome you,
Invite you,
And encourage you to spend as much time in meditation as you want,
Need,
Or feel called,
And embrace a transformation of consciousness,
An awakening.
An awakening may grace and peace,
Light and love be with you.
