Global Gratitude Meditation
inspired by Barack Obama
Every Sunday at 22.22 GMT for 22 minutes
“I’M ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE.
Not just in my ability to bring about real change.
I’m asking you to believe in yours.”
Barack Obama
As human beings on earth we are on the cusp of an era of peace, a time the Mayans refer to as the ‘in-between’, the time of transition between the World of the Fourth Sun and the World of the Fifth Sun. As we pass through this transition we are experiencing ongoing Earth changes including, social chaos, environmental destruction, war, financial instability and political restructuring. December 21, 2012 is the date the Mayans prophesied as a rebirth, the start of a new world. It is also the end of the Mayan calendar. The election of Barack Obama is a part of the monumental change the Mayans predicted as we head toward the final four years of a calendar that can be used to chart our planetary history for 16.4 billion years. Millions of people around the globe have either voted or prayed for Barack Obama to become president of the United States of America. On the 5th November, 2008, history was in the making as Obama indeed became the 44th president of the USA. The dream that Dr Martin Luther King had shared with the world back in 1963 has become a reality. Obama’s election to presidency plays a key role as we teeter on the edge of a new era. It serves as a sign, a symbol of the message of the Mayan prophesy. That message being that as humans, we are on the threshold of a huge leap of consciousness, an awakening of social, political, environmental, ecological, personal, planetary and spiritual transformation. Astronomically, the dramatic coming changes and prophecies are also signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator and the Earth aligning itself with the centre of the galaxy. At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic, forming a cosmic cross. It is said that this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a portal for cosmic energy to flow to the Earth, cleansing her and all who dwell upon her, raising all to a higher level of vibration.
Change is accelerating and will continue to do so and the people of earth need to be prepared for this auspicious date of 21st December 2012. We must prepare to rise to a higher level of consciousness. In order to do this we must transform enormous and powerful personal and global issues. According to historian, anthropologist, Mayan priest and spiritual guide Carlos Barrios (Eagle Clan) “We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions, are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action. Many powerful souls have reincarnated in this era, with a lot of power. This is true on both sides, the light and the dark. High magic is at work on both sides”. Change is needed and change will happen, but it’s up to every one of us to be willing to support each other and the planet.
The current world crisis situation, until very recently was set and well established and even though change is upon us, is still largely controlled by those who are aligned with the darker forces. To do battle with or try to oppose these is not the way forward. We must approach this with an open heart, love and concentrated infusions of light, amplified by personal and group work. Thus we offer our support to those who are taking positions of power and who are an influence for good.
As Carlos Barrios tells us, “We need to work together for peace and balance. Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard, but a special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be ready for this moment in history. If you have incarnated into this era, you have spiritual work to do balancing the planet”. Supporting those who are the torchbearers and bringers of change is our political, social and humanitarian responsibility.
It is our responsibility to consciously change any negative, fear based thinking to positive, affirming thoughts. According to the Mayan calendar, on November 13th, 2008 we entered into a phase referred to as ‘the flowering’ having just left a 360 day period known as ‘destruction’. As we move into the flowering, we have the opportunity to let go of what has gone before, the old ways of destruction. Many people are anxious and afraid of old repetitive patterns and that someone who appears to be a force for good, like Obama maybe taken from us. We must now think in terms of ‘World’ mind, ‘One’ mind. We need to remind ourselves that our thoughts manifest our reality. Individually, our negative, fear based thoughts can result in illness or take us out of balance. Collectively such thoughts keep us in a ‘destruction’ mentality and can influence global events. Remaining mindful of how individually we each play our part in world events is imperative now. Our personal influence is far greater than we can imagine.
There is joy throughout the world that Barack Obama has been elected the next US president, yet simultaneously there is great fear for his future. Many people, if not actually voicing their fear are considering the possibility of fearful scenarios. Masuro Emoto, author of ‘The Hidden Messages of Water’, proved to us the effects of our thoughts by demonstrating how they impact on water crystals. He showed us that by simply directing thoughts of gratitude toward a bottle of water it formed beautiful, light filled crystal structures, yet negative thoughts formed unstructured dark crystal patterns. The same applies to our thoughts towards others. Our hearts may rejoice at Obama’s election victory, yet our minds may be in fear of what might befall him. The thoughts we have about ourselves and others creates internal crystal structures for we are mostly water. Our thoughts are vibration and this vibration radiates out from us towards others and into the world. Positive thoughts carry high vibrations whilst negative ones result in a lower vibration. These vibrations alter our own vibrational field and the fields of those we direct them towards. So it is essential that you are vigilant with your thoughts and how they impact on you and other people.
What Barack Obama, the newly elected US president requires from us is for our focus toward him to remain a positive one. Do not allow the history books to influence your thinking that old patterns will be repeated and a force for good will be taken from us. Humanity and consciousness have now undergone another huge shift and this is simply no longer the case.
The presence of one such as Obama brings many levels of transformation including the potential for healing at a personal and collective level. World history has resulted in our unconscious carrying of a personal and collective wound. However, times are changing rapidly and we can now believe that goodness will prevail. We can surrender our fears and anxieties based on past experiences and start to TRUST.
Just as exercising a rarely used muscle, aligning with trust requires self-discipline. At first, the inclination will be towards old patterns of thinking, as remembering to vigilantly monitor our thoughts from negative, fear based thinking to positive, affirming thoughts requires some effort. However, if we keep exercising that muscle it becomes strong and effortless to maintain the strength and tone. Soon we find ourselves automatically thinking in a new way and the benefits of doing so are immense. We feel better, look better, we shine and become an example, a role model for others to follow finding that our own lives transform, dreams start to come true and we manifest our hearts desires. Love, gratitude and positive thoughts are the most effective medicine for well-being and the greatest effect of change.
Barack Obama is a special being, as are we all. Let us honour him and ourselves by thinking positive, beautiful thoughts. Let us remind ourselves that he is a part of the momentous and exciting changes that are gracing our world. Let us remember that the world is transforming, evolving and healing, as are we on a personal and collective level. Let us focus on the well-being within ourselves, the well-being of Obama and all being well in our world, as it is and is becoming.
May we be free from any thoughts based on negativity. Instead let us focus on gratitude and appreciation for the sense of trust that we have in ourselves and those around us, the ongoing presence of Obama and the trust that all will be well within the world.
Let us join together in a world-wide gratitude meditation. A meditation that celebrates the shift of ages and marks these momentous times. A meditation to celebrate a new way forward, with trust at the helm. A meditation of gratitude for the inspiration of Barack Obama and for having finally arrived at the threshold of a new world.
