Sunrise to sunset meditation


Great Zimbabwe Sunrise

The Sunrise: At the beginning of the day as we wake up, give thanks for a new day. The sunrise reminds us that whatever we know and understand about the mechanics of the universe there is always still mystery in beauty. Let the mystery of the creation and the creator be an inspiration for the day.

The Clouds: Let the clouds help you meditate upon the troubles of the day. The clouds try to block out the light of the sun but they do not succeed and the rays of light break through. Focus on the clouds and meditate upon your troubles throughout the day. What made you bad tempered? What made you anxious? What made you upset? Focus on the sunlight breaking through to dispel the clouds of the day and remember that God forgives and lightens our lives.

The Sunset: The richness of the colours of the sunset remind us that each day is rich with opportunities and possibilities. The sun is a symbol of masculinity and achievement. Did you take the opportunities presented during the day? Think about all that has happened and give thanks for the experiences gained.

The Moonlight: Moonlight is serene, and gives an atmosphere of peace and gentleness. It is the symbol of femininity. At the end of the day we give ourselves over to rest. Relax your body, your spirit and your mind. Feel peace and rest flowing over you and give thanks for the presence and protection of God throughout the day and the night.
