May 1994: Sunrise Meditation
Many Blessings of Love and Light to all of you. Every morning we send you Love and Light during our Sunrise medication practice at the Center. Each morning 2-15 students on the pathway meet from 6:00 am to 7:25 am to begin their day. Chanting begins at 6:00 am sharp. Students, however, if running a little late, can come in and join us up until 6:30 am. After chanting we have prayers and silent meditation until 7:00 am. Some students must then leave the Center (for work or other obligations). The rest of us then continue with an affirmation and visualization for healing, reenergizing and rejuvenating, followed by giving thanks and sending light.
The Sunrise Meditation program started in December 1992. It was originally only going to be for one month, but as you can see, we have continued. The students who have come in have mentioned how fantastic their days are when they take time to do this practice. Working with others, meeting deadlines, enjoying the day, having more creativity and productivitythese and many more are the blessings and by-products of meditating together in the morning. On the other hand, people who have then missed a day have said they could really tell a big difference in their day, because without the morning program their day would not be as enjoyable or creative. There definitely must be something to it, to give up sleep for!!!!
So the next time you find yourself up early and don't know what to do, come in to join us to see what I mean. Or better yet, make a commitment, set your alarm, and meet us for a “Spiritual Rendezvous" every morning at the Center. The morning schedule is:
6:00 – 6:30 6:30 - 6:35 6:35 - 7:00 7:00 – 7:25
Chanting (if you are not familiar with this, you can pick it up easily) Prayers Silent Mantra Meditation Affirmation, Visualization, thank yous, sending White Light.
Then you can begin your day with a feeling of great peacefulness, calmness and clarity, in order to be more productive and creative and have a general feeling of well being-ness of self and all others.
Whether you come to meditate daily at the Center or not, remember to keep meditating wherever you are, in order to keep raising your individual consciousness, as well as the Collective Consciousness in the Light.
Namaste,
Chetana
