Welcome and blessings.
I'm Rev Skip.
This meditation is designed to help us to activate unity consciousness.
Since the birth of our country,
Partisanship has taken a priority for the pure purpose of controlling the people.
If we look at the word partisan,
It means to be for something,
But it also means to be against something else.
When we pick a side or we align our values with a certain political party,
It divides us.
Because of politics and heightened tribalism,
Our country has been on the road to destruction.
There has been this uber amount of hate,
Fear,
Racism,
Sexism,
And homophobia.
We are at a defining moment.
The time is now,
And it begins with a shift within our consciousness.
This contemplative meditation and prayer will help us to remember to remember.
We are one connected by spirit,
And our human construct tells us that we are different because of the skin we're in,
The hair we wear,
Our sex,
Who we love,
Where we live.
The human condition that defines us is what separates us.
We get to look beyond the physical appearance today and tap into a feeling tone of spirit.
The word yoga means to yoke,
To come together.
When we practice yoga,
Our intention is to see the oneness in all things.
So I invite you to activate a yoga consciousness.
So I invite you to relax,
Get into a place that feels comfortable for you.
Close your outer eye,
But open up your inner eye.
See with your spirit.
Look with your heart.
Listen.
Breathe and remember,
We are all one.
Let's set our intention together.
The work that we do today elevates a vibration to heal a divided country.
As we breathe,
We are reminded that we're breathing the same air.
The breath we inhale and exhale is universal.
So follow your breath.
And we bring into our consciousness the planet as a whole.
If we would take a trip into space and see our beloved planet Earth as one.
Continue to dive deep into the body temple with a global consciousness.
Everything that we're feeling,
We're feeling together.
This is our defining moment.
This is the time that we get to turn around this energy.
We get to remember,
It doesn't matter,
Blue or red.
We set the intention to embody our name,
The United States of America.
We get to see beyond our differences and we get to come back to the reality of connection,
Of love,
Of oneness,
Of peace,
Of unity.
We set the intention to rise above the current paradigm of separation.
We set the intention to remember kindness,
To remember love,
To be willing to have an open conversation,
Everyone we meet.
We release our judgments,
Our right and wrong attitude.
There is a beautiful quote by our Sufi master teacher Rumi.
Stop acting so small.
You are the universe in a static motion.
Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about it.
Peace prayers of Saint Francis.
Lord,
Make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred,
Let me sow love.
Where there is injury,
Pardon.
Where there is doubt,
Faith.
Where there is despair,
Hope.
Where there is darkness,
Light.
Where there is sadness,
Hope.
O divine master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to be loved.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
And so it is.
So I invite you just to begin to deepen your breath and take in the prayers and the poems within your consciousness.
And begin to wiggle your fingers and your fingers.
Slowly open up your eyes and take note of how you are feeling in this moment.
Thank you for joining me on this meditation and prayer time.
I bless you.
I honor you.
Because I am you and you are me.
We can change direction of this planet.
It begins with a willingness to be willing.
I'm Rev Skip.
Peace and blessings and Namaste.
