Meditation for Our Government
by Corinne McLaughlin
 

(Since Congress is making decisions daily that affect every aspect of our lives, we suggest the following meditation and blessing.  For those in other countries, please feel free to adapt this to your own situation).

Begin by taking a few deep breaths to breathe in peace and stillness; exhale and release all stress and tension….

Align with your highest self or soul and invoke the presence of the Divine by whatever name you know that transcendent reality….

Now visualize the Capitol Building, the U.S. Congress, and see all our representatives from both parties meeting together to discuss current legislation…. Visualize the entire Congress surrounded and filled with light….See light penetrating all the dark places so nothing is hidden….

Ask that any and all negative influences be removed from our representatives, so that each can align with his or her highest self….

Now visualize all our representatives thinking clearly, …. acting compassionately and wisely,….and making decisions that serve the greatest good for the greatest number of people, regardless of their party affiliations…..

Close the meditation by asking for blessings from the Divine source for all members of Congress to strengthen, guide and protect them.
