Meditation & Reading (Light) by Rev Teresa Stuefloten, M.Div. 8/10/2025

Good Morning! I have a reading for you this morning from the Divine Science Federation International Daily Study titled:

THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS

You have come to…[many] angels in joyful assembly. –Hebrews 12.22

An “angel” is a messenger with a word of divine encouragement; an angel is a symbol of divine love being present in a time of need.

Throughout the bible angels visit people, accompany people on journeys, encourage people, celebrate good news, and confirm that someone has been called to work for justice or healing on behalf of others. In each of these stories, angels are symbols of goodness, hope, joy, possibilities, strength, and courage.

Whenever we feel hope rising within us, we might say that angels have visited. Whenever joy returns to us, we might say that we have been in the presence of angels. Whenever we are able to face and move through our fears, we can imagine that angels have guided us. Whenever a loved one makes us feel special, we can see that person as an angelic manifestation. Whenever a stranger is kind to us, we can feel as if that kindness is the blessing of an angel. And, if we stop to think about it, we might remember a time that we proved to be an angel in someone’s life.

Our actions, smiles, and prayers can be like angel-wings generating currents of much needed comfort in our world.

May I be an angel in someone’s life today; and for the angels in my life, I am thankful.

That is from our beloved Bishop Durrell Watkins, D.Min. ~ He is the Senior Minister of Sunshine Cathedral in Ft Lauderdale, FL.

Meditation

Now I invite you to prepare to go within for a short time of meditation, letting go of worries or concerns for this time, getting comfortable, closing your eyes with your inner gaze raised to the forehead, the spiritual eye, turning your attention to your breath, gently noticing the in-breath and the out-breath… feeling the coolness of the in-breath and the warmth of the out-breath… allowing the breath to sink down into the belly with each in-breath… expanding the belly with each in-breath and contracting the belly with each out-breath… coming into the present moment through the breath now, completely awake and aware…

As I continue to breathe with my eyes closed, I begin to be aware within…

With closed eyes focused on the center of the forehead, I peer into inner space…

With eyes closed to the world of form, I feel the energy of life within…

I feel the hum of Divine energy seeking to express…

There is a whole world within me…

My heart pulses with this Divine energy of life…

My heart is expanding with this Divine energy of life…

My soul is dancing with this Divine energy of life…

The joy of life fills my heart, expanding and expanding…

I am filled with light…

Divine Light is my essence…

Every bit of my physical body is filled with light…

Every bit of my astral body is filled with light…

Every bit of my causal body is filled with light…

I am a Divine being of light…

I am made in the image and likeness of my Creator…

I am expansive…

I have no borders…

I am eternal…

I am free…

I now let go into one minute of silence…

Now, having rested in the silence, I invite you to bring yourself back to awareness of the body, feeling grateful for the Divine Light, the Divine vibration of Love within you, continuing to let your Light shine brightly, as you are a presence of good in this world, a beacon of Light. You are someone’s angel. Going within daily in meditation you kindle your high vibration of light.

And so it is!
