| Weekly Meditations (from Kabbalah Centre's Conciousness Tune-Ups) July 18th – July 24th, 2004 The Light is in the Business |
Last week it seemed like most people were feeling angry, depressed, insecure, or confused. It’s because we are in the midst of a difficult period that started on the 17th of Cancer (July 6th) and continues to the 9th of Leo (July 27th.) During this time of year, a shift in the spiritual universe occurs that causes the removal of a filter from around our soul. Normally this filter determines how much Light we can receive. Without it, we’re flooded with Light. It’s like having no ozone layer to protect us from the sun. This intense infusion of Light tends to make us unbalanced and unclear. As we teach in Spirituality for Kids, we each have two voices in our head, the good guy and the Opponent. During these three weeks, the pressure turns the volume up on the Opponent. Way up. There are, however, amazing opportunities for getting clarity during this period. The Zohar says that this week you can get insights for where your life needs to go…‘It’s time to rethink my career’, ‘I want to be more spiritual’, ‘maybe she isn’t the one for me’. You will be open to thinking new things and awakening those closed-off parts of your personality. And these kernels of truth will come to you from unexpected places. To be open to them, don’t hold on so tightly to your notions of what should be. Remember it’s not about you, it’s about the Light. Ask the Light to show you what you can’t see. If you do get the merit to see, don’t forget that you can’t do anything about it. Why? Because you don’t want to start new endeavors during these three weeks. Wait until after, when you will have a clearer perspective. Right now you are in the “calculating and figuring” mindset. Your task this week is to let go of this thinking. If you are sharing and “worrying” about others instead of yourself, you are creating a circuitry for the Light in your life. And when the Light is in the business, what do you have to worry about? I challenge you to find at least ONE thing you are holding onto – a thought pattern, a physical object, a person - and just let it go, trusting that the Light will be there for you. This week you will have the ability to do that. The new month of Leo starts Sunday night (July 18th). If you are near a Centre, join us for a kabbalistic connection where we will plant a positive seed for the entire month. And it will be a challenging one. The energy of Leo is controlled by the sun. Normally, every planet controls two signs, but the only sign the sun controls is Leo. The energy the sun generates is tremendous, and its power is overwhelming if we are not prepared. Make sure to read the Weekly Tune-Ups during Av so you can control the energy rather than the other way around. Use the 72 Name this week. And remember, it’s going to be okay! CLICK HERE for the Name to meditate on. Use the meditation found below: Meditation: Purifying Light banishes the unseen ominous forces and deactivates harmful influences that may be lurking nearby, especially those that dwell inside me. Stress dissolves. Pressure is released. Balance and positive energy permeate my being and my world.. |
