Does Your Path Have Heart? 

“A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it is of no use.” – Carlos Castaneda

What kind of measuring sticks can we use to see if our path has a heart?

It calls deeply to you. There’s always something you’ve been doing all your life because it’s at your core. It’s easy and natural and constant.  It makes your heart sing when you do it.  It lets you laugh out loud in joy. What is that path for you?  What has been calling you all your life?

You love to do it. You do it often. You do it with deep satisfaction. Expressing this aspect of your journey creates such joy that you can hardly wait to begin to offer it each day.

Your passion for it is compelling.  Your calling is so strong you cannot do anything else.

You experience being in a deep place of service. The path you are on is a gift to others, to the world, to you.  Each time you express this gift, this calling, you feel it touching hearts.

The more deeply you follow the path of your calling, the more fulfilling it becomes.  You become better at walking it.  Better at sharing it.  Better at being it.

Follow your path with heart.

Do You Have Moral Clarity?

Living Our Deeper Song

Ashe
(“Ah-Shay”)
The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

The reporter was talking about how in the January 6 committee, the women were the ones who stepped in to report the misdeeds. The consensus was that women had a greater sense of moral clarity than the men did. I stopped to consider what it looked like and felt like to have moral clarity.

Moral clarity is about knowing right from wrong. We each have our own moral values. Where do they come from? How do they evolve within us?

I am watching many Republican politicians say one thing on a personal level and expressing an entirely different opinion to the news. They totally defy what is showing up as truth. 

What makes some people recognize and talk about a moral truth and others brush over it in denial? A lot of it in the US seems to be political ambition.

And so it is the women who have reported on the gross immorality that had taken place in the United States government under Trump.

Morality is about knowing right from wrong. The problem with the US situation is that those male politicians who know the difference between right and wrong are consciously choosing only what will forward their own political ambitions. And this is causing a crisis in the United States politician because Republicans seem unwilling to acknowledge the truth.

Too many people in the States are overlooking our truth or history. Others are trying to eradicate that truth from schools and laws and books in an effort to what? Eradicate history in this country by not telling how immoral the white population in particular was. 

How do you gain moral clarity? You look for your answers in a variety of resources. Learn about a topic from a variety of resources. Get clear about your own moral code. Be clear about what you believe and make certain that it is founded in truth.

When women stepped forward for the January 6th Committee, they had great moral clarity about what was right and what was wrong and their testimony blew the lid off the January 6th Committee reporting.

Be very clear about what is right and what is wrong. Develop your own strong sense of moral clarity and live by it.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I will work hard to stay on the right side of moral clarity 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Look closely at what you see as right and wrong and make sure it is based on truth.
  • Keep strengthening your moral sense of what is right and wrong.
  • Live by those standards.

Path Corrections at the Winter Solstice

December 21st is Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the beginning of a new season. It is a good time to make corrections to your path.

First see how your path has changed. With hip replacement surgery scheduled, my goals have changed – walking better is now at the top of the list.

Notice what new doors have opened and which ones you wish to walk through. There is a whole new group of healers to work with in some form that is gradually revealing itself. I have to go exploring to find what path suits me the best right now.

What has changed and what new opportunities are opening up new possibilities? Examine your choices to male certain they are still rewarding and fulfilling ones. 

Keep exploring!

Give Yourself Permission To Follow Your Heart 

Sometimes we get so caught up in our worldly existence that we forget to follow our heart. Have you stopped recently to talk to your heart? To know what it wants for you next and know how that feels? Do you know what it’s telling you to do?

Perhaps write it down on a blank sheet of paper and begin to prioritize by simply listing your passions. Then look over the list and begin to prioritize them. What did you discover? How do you need to rearrange your time? What new choices do you need to make?

It helped me to identify a large umbrella that holds a lot of my activity. It’s been tricky to identify because I love to write, I like the mental stimulation. It is all of those things. And probably more.

I have a dry macular degeneration and am gradually working with diminished eyesight. So I really have to understand what lies beneath this need and desire to write to see how I can continue to address it even if the form has to change. 

What does your heart want? What does your heart need? And what new forms can you find to express that in?

Put aside the world you have created and sit with your heart. Make certain that you listen to it. Make certain that you express your heart in all that you do. How will that change what you have in your life right now? Give yourself permission to follow your heart and do some rearranging of your life choices.

Take Responsibility for Healing Yourself

Being In Nature Is Healing

I haven’t been outside very much in the last two years so it was really great when Nathan, one of my care partners, put me in my wheelchair and wheeled me out into the garden that is actually right outside my window. There is a koi pond and Master Gardeners take care of the garden. I told Nathan that anytime he had free time, I would go outside. I mentioned that to Stephanie, a nurse’s aide and the next day she came and took me out too! I got here with two types of philodendron but maybe this next summer I can get a red leaf coleus for summer and bring it inside in the fall. Do you have enough nature in your life? Go buy a plant and talk to it…

Explore New Potential and Possibilities

On Being Resourceful

Imaginative, intuitive, creative, bright – being resourceful is all of those things. It means thinking outside the box. It means looking around corners, it means exploring new paths. Sometimes it means taking chances. Go explore the unexpected or the unusual. It is that moment when you draw on your inner wisdom, your practical experience and your free-wheeling imagination with a deep knowing and a healthy amount of trust in order to make a decision and try something new or different or unexpected. 

How often do you do that? Are you an adventurous type who goes exploring at every opportunity? This is not about bravery, it’s more about having fun and trusting your instincts and insights.

Notice when you respond from your inner wisdom and learn to trust it as a wise guide and creative innovator.

Being resourceful is about using what you have at hand to move yourself forward in a unique and unexpected way. Do more of that and see how your life changes. 

Choosing A Life Of Service

Service takes many forms. It can mean helping people who are helpless and it can mean helping people who are strong. It’s your choice, your place of service.

In the 80s when I became a Reiki master teacher we stood in a circle and were asked to share how we would use Reiki in the world. The person before me said, “I’m going to teach all the poor people.” I knew then what I was to do. I said, “I am going to help people who are already flying to fly higher,” And so I have. 

Choose your place of service – helping people reach their own potential, helping people overcome a setback, helping the environment or a cause. Go exploring to see what calls to you and then do the work.

On-Going Learning

Over the past seven years, I have depended heavily on The Shift Network for the on-going education that I wish to receive. Beside their paid classes, they have free summits on all sorts of topics that allow you to explore a topic and make informed choices. I have extensively studied Shamanism and Qigong. I have studied the Native American Flute and the drum and sound healing. As I understand the topics better, I found other teachers I wanted to study with.

Sounds True is another resource for interesting classes and books. I need to remember to explore TED Talks more regularly because there is great information there. They give away a lot of free information in order to draw you into their work. Go exploring more to find new topics to explore. 

My problem is that I don’t know what I want to learn next. I looked into sound healing but it’s not a deep calling for me although I have some tuning folks and use sound in my spiritual practice. 

What topic do you want to explore next? What do you want to learn next? Do some research and find some free introductory classes to take you more deeply into a topic so that you know what you want to commit to learn next. 

I love to learn. I hope I never stop. Right now, I don’t know what I want to learnnext so I guess I’ll just wait until something knocks on my door and calls out to me. Keep exploring, there are great learning opportunities out there. Get on Google and find them. 

Be Present At Work

I become so absorbed in writing that I disappear into my work. It is rewarding, exciting, stimulating and satisfying. I totally lose myself in the process of creating and capturing and responding to an idea I want to explore. 

How do you feel when you are at work? Are you fully present? Are you having a good time? Do you leave your work with a feeling of accomplishment? Do you leave with a feeling of satisfaction at work well done? 

Perhaps pause before you leave your place of employment to offer gratitude for being able to do work that is rewarding and satisfying and provides a good quality of life for you and your family. 

If you can do none of those things, you deserve to find yourself new employment. 

First list your passions – those that interest you and have called to you throughout your life. What kind of profession allows you to work with those passions? I have volunteered to write newsletters for assorted organizations for free because I love to organize ideas into written form. I have written radio content. I have written television commercials. I have written poetry and books and podcasts and newsletters. Writing is at the core of the majority of my jobs. But I’m also a really good organizer so sometimes I have had jobs that call upon that skill more than any other. 

Identify the skills they give you the most pleasure. Identify the skills that are the most marketable. And keep an eye on your overarching passion as you find the perfect place of employment.

Expand Your Role in the Rapidly Evolving Universe

Shared Vison

I’m working on my vision for the world and I’m having a hard time because there sure are a lot of places that need help. 

I think my vision should start with the planet or we won’t have a place to live. One solution would include eliminating all the fossil fuels and using the many remaining replacements that have already appeared. In my vision I will raise the consciousness of everyone to individually take mindful steps to care for our planet by way of the products we use, what we recycle, how we care for the earth around us. So raising our collective consciousness about preserving the planet would be high on my list.

Then we have the people who hate other people. The vicious eruption of hatred in the US is my first thought because that’s where I live. But there is hatred and suppression going on in way too many places in the world. I don’t understand evil or purposefully doing harm to another so I think my vision will include an opening of hearts and a sense of a peaceful world community. That’s a big one. And it’s going take some doing even to imagine that. But it is our imagination and visioning that are the core creator of the creative process to make change happen. 

So part of my process needs to be actual visioning. I have to visualize a peaceful, whole, healed, vibrant planet. I have to envision people coexisting peacefully. I have to envision those people mindfully caring for the planet and for the animals on the planet and for each other. And somehow I have to envision everyone caring about the well-being of everyone else. 

If our imagination is one of the ways we create change, what kind of world are you imagining? 

===BROADEN YOUR HORIZON – EXPAND YOUR VIEW===

Raise Your Sights and Your Expectations 

Nothing Happens Without A Purpose

We may not like this, but nothing happens without a purpose. It is a lesson, a door opening, an opportunity knocking, but whatever it is, it is something we need to examine and consider and explore and learn from.

And sometimes if we don’t get the lesson, the lessons just keep coming back at us. It’s taken me three years of semi-isolation that included two years of gradually increasing physical impairment to get that I needed to move into long-term care. That was a long lesson. When I got here, it took me about a day to figure out that my new friends were among the staff and they were younger people who were joyously and deeply in service and it turned my life around. So some lessons take a while but others can be pretty instantaneous. 

I think pretty much everything is a lesson. A casual encounter with someone who inspires you and motivates you to take a next step. A meaningful relationship that shows you how to be steady and compassionate and caring. A failed project is a wonderful lesson. It frees you up to open new doors and have new experiences. 

I had to get pummeled before I made the decision to make this move. But that was because I didn’t get the message sooner even as my physical condition began to change.

My previous major cross-country moves were all done quite impulsively and the decisions were made in a matter of minutes if not seconds. The need for this move across the street has been beating me on the head for over a year. 

Nothing happens without a purpose, we just have to get the message. What message has been trying to get to you?

===CARA’S CORNER===

What Are Your Expectations For Aging?

Granted this is long-term care but in talking to the staff, they can only identify one other resident that is looking for mental stimulation. I will try to meet him. Why do we give up our minds as we age?

One of the reasons I got so isolated over a year or two was there was no one interesting to talk to. It was a senior community and I was the only person being active in worldly things. I had one good in-person friend who was the social worker but the rest of my friends were all online and we still meet regularly on Zoom. Therefore I had only one person to have an in-person informative conversation with, so I unknowingly and gradually became quite isolated.

So why are all these old people sitting around being old? What happened that they gave up their personhood in order to just be old? 

Is that an expectation we hold for ourselves? Is it our expectation we hold for others? Is the way of old people to sit around and just be old? Uninterested in much? Never learning anything new? 

Now I admit that I am behind on some technical things because I don’t have occasion to use them. And now I have this eyesight thing that makes it all a bit tricky. Do we get behind because we stop exploring or stop pushing ourselves a bit? Probably. I think aging is like any other point in our life, we have to keep pushing ourselves and stretching ourselves and exploring and trying new things. 

I’m one of five people in this whole community that will keep up their maintenance physical therapy. Five people out of 30 on this wing. I watch my suite-mate sit in her wheelchair all day and make no effort to restore her strength as she watches reruns of 50-year-old game shows and western shows. She refuses to go to physical therapy, she allows herself to be lifted in and out of bed. She’s quite a bit younger than I am. 

We have to do the work. We have to do our version of whatever it takes to keep moving, to keep our brains agile, to maintain our relevance in the world. 

I maintain my feeling of relevance by writing this newsletter. I write it because it helps me learn what I need to learn next and it opens my heart to share it with you. I don’t exactly see myself taking any more online classes because the money is no longer there but I sure will find other ways to learn.

What are your expectations for aging? Are you raising the bar high enough?

On Raising The Bar

I have to set my own goals. I have to raise my own bar. I am the one in charge of my destiny. 

I have to set my own goals. I have to raise my own bar. I am the one in charge of my destiny. Do I expect enough of myself? Do I continue to challenge myself? Do I continue to expect the best for myself?

How Do You Make Your Actions Lasting and Meaningful?

By

How Do You Make Your Actions Lasting and Meaningful?
An Inner-world Exploration

We would all like to feel we have value, that we contribute. How do we make our actions lasting and meaningful? I pose a question to which I have no immediate answer.  I just really like the question.  

When a phrase like this asks me to explore it, to understand what it means to me and how to apply it, I usually begin with the dictionary to expand my awareness and interpretation of the meaning of the words. “Lasting” means enduring, permanent. “Meaningful” means significant, consequential.  I want my actions to be all of that.

To make my actions lasting and meaningful, I begin by working to identify my purpose, deepening my own understanding of my unique gifts and what’s calling me from my core. Then I figure out how to express that in my life. 

What is calling you?  Find the form

You know what’s calling you.  Put it into descriptive words, a label perhaps. I am a ….

I see myself as a spiritual philosopher, an explorer, a map-maker and messenger. Only lately have I realized that I am still a teacher. 

How do you express what’s calling you? How do you see your role?

When you have passion behind what you do, it deepens your impact on everyone you meet.  Your enthusiasm and excitement is as effective as the work you do, the service you perform.  You affect all who come across your path. 

My initial actions can be very subtle. I can be sitting here doing whatever, and suddenly a thought comes barreling into my awareness and I’m deeply called to explore the meaning behind that idea. 

I want to understand the concept and if it resonates deeply, I try to figure out ways to add it to my life. And I need and want to share what I discover.

The initial call is incredibly powerful to me.  The need/desire/calling to figure out is imperative.  And writing it in a form to share with others not only helps me complete my inquiring process, but offers my insights to others as well.  

The form of your offering begins with what’s calling you.

Action – Take your calling to the world

Our actions create our life experience. What we think, say, do, and believe are reflected back to us in our lives.  We are to learn to choose actions that are in alignment with our highest good.

Our actions impact what we receive. What we put out, we get back.  Anger brings back more anger.  Love brings back more love. We get to choose what we receive by being conscious of the energy we put out. 

Our actions also impact what others receive and absorb from us. Just as we are affected by the vibrations we put out, so are those around us affected by the level of vibration we emanate.  Do you have an idea of how your presence is perceived by others?  This is not about pleasing others, it’s about being aware of how you walk in the world. How your mere presence affects others. 

The choices and actions we take are vital.  How we conduct ourselves – the words we use, how we interact with others. Just the simple act of being present is a meaningful action that has deep impact. 

The focus of our actions affects our impact.  What we choose to do with our lives, in our lives, leads us on a path of our own making.  It’s not about what we achieve, it’s about how we go about our lives – our attitude, our consideration, our compassion.  

The form our work takes is revealing.  We may be a leader, a team player, an individual stand-out or a steady support person.  That’s the form our action takes.  How we take that action is key not just to our physical-plane success but to our inner, spiritual development as well. 

Action is in our deeds, our behavior, or conduct and our endeavors. It is also in our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations.

What is a “meaningful” action?

What is meaningful to you includes experiences that feel significant, impactful, important, relevant, important, and worthwhile.  

Spend some time considering what is meaningful to you. Begin there. That will dictate your calling, your actions, your focus, and your development.  

We are talking about how to make your actions meaningful and lasting. But to whom? The world, others, your family?  Who do you want to impact?  Who do you want to see your existence as meaningful?  Who do you want to reach?

You will know about some of your impact.  Much of it, you will not.  A simple smile may be enough to have a meaningful and lasting impact on a person who needs it at that very moment.

A less tangible impact may be something someone said to you a long time ago that you have based a lot of your life upon.  That could be a parent, a teacher, or a friend who encouraged you and that led you to steps to build on that encouragement. Words of encouragement are very impactful. 

We may not have to look very far afield to understand the many ways our actions, both large and small, can be meaningful and lasting. 

We want our work to be lasting

Lasting means “abide or able to endure over a long period of time.” It has a deep vibration, a profound effect. 

To be lasting means that the action you took created change.  It created change in someone’s outlook. It created change in someone’s understanding.  It created change in what someone thought was possible or what they thought they deserved.  It changed them.  It changed what they thought, or perceived or considered or chose.

A very simple action or thought can make a lasting change.  

“Lasting” means a change at the core

This phrase “make your actions lasting and meaningful”  came from something I read.  I don’t even remember what.  But look where it’s taking us.  I feel this exploration shift me as I compose this piece. It has made me stop and think and consider and wonder and question and … That’s a lot of impact for a few words. 

And whoever wrote them will never know the adventure those few words are taking us upon.

You won’t necessarily know who and how you affect others.  

“Lasting” means inner work

Just as we don’t know who our actions and words will impact, we don’t know how.  

But lasting change begins within. 

My work is to identify ideas and concepts that lead me into greater clarity and incorporate them as an actual practice in my life. 

That purpose will impact what I choose to write in my posts and newsletter to share with others. 

That purpose will impact how I interact with the people close to me and the people not so close to me.  

That choice is certainly going to impact my spiritual practice.  When I start holding up each action I take to the measuring stick of “meaningful and impactful”, I will leave a pile of ideas on the floor and choose the ones that are – yes – meaningful and impactful to both me and those I serve.

Choice and your measuring stick

I rely very heavily on my inner voice. It hollered at me to write down that phrase.  It immediately demanded that I write the first draft to begin to figure out what it meant to me.  It was clearly important to my inner self that I both understand this concept and figure out how to absorb it into my life.  And as I live with this idea of wanting my actions to be meaningful and lasting, I have set up a new measuring stick to help me select the next steps I take. 

Sometimes we don’t know what will be meaningful and impactful

A long time ago, I remember walking across Central Park in New York City with a friend who said, “We are rocks.  People depend on us.”  I was a bit startled at the idea, but I recognized myself in her statement. I asked, “Where do rocks get help?” “From other rocks,” was her reply. 

That was 45 years ago.  And that idea, that image has profoundly affected my life and how I live it.  

We simply do not know and may never know, how we help to change the lives of others. 

So besides raising our own vibrations, expanding our spiritual exploration and consciously trying to serve others, we have to simply be true to ourselves. The more we deepen our own spiritual awareness, the stronger our light becomes and the more attractive and vital and meaningful our light presence becomes to others.  

We may never know

I can have an intention to have my choices be meaningful and lasting but I’m not always going to know if they are. But I absorb this idea and look for ways to raise my own vibration, to be of greater service in the world, and I hope, I intend, that what I offer, what I provide, will be both meaningful and impactful when it moves out into the world.

Do You Believe In Yourself?

Do You Believe In Yourself?
An Inner World Exploration

I made a shamanic journey into my inner world to find out why I kept starting so many new things but found myself dragging my feet when it came to completing them.  I love the discovery part, but not the technical steps. 

What I found surprised me

I found a limiting belief that was holding me back. A lot. I simply did not believe my work had enough value to make it important to get out the door. 

Bummer. 

A big one!!

A very, very large limiting belief. 

How do I get rid of that?

Call on the helpers in the inner realms

My spirit guides helped me realize how far-reaching my work is, even though I may not know of a particular change it makes in someone’s life.  Knowing I had that limiting belief was a huge discovery and one that I’ll continue to consciously release every day.  It feels like it may take some constant attention in order to pull that weed out of my inner garden. But I have begun. And I will now tend my garden diligently.

However, I still wanted support in my day, some form of discipline to make me do this less creative stuff that is a necessary part of sharing my work. It’s not exactly like clearing your paint brushes so you can paint again tomorrow but it is about taking another step toward completing the canvas.

I got a donkey

I got a spirit guide in the form of a donkey. Remember, spirit guides are metaphors in our imagination, and we are to interpret them.  I got a sure-footed, one-foot-in-front-of-the-other donkey I called Dolly.  

So Dolly’s plan is to nudge me from behind to take a certain number of steps on the “Completion” trail every day.  She is to keep me from roaring off to explore a new trail so often but to keep me on the path I’m on, and urge me to take time to leave the guideposts, the markers I am to leave for others.  

Every day I’m to walk part of the path of completion.  On some project. Any project. 

So I’m going to create “Dolly time” each day and do 45 to 60 minutes of back-end work that helps me get a project closer toward moving it out the door. 

With Dolly’s help. And support.  And nudges.  She is a strong example of putting one foot in front of the other. Persistent.  Determined.  Steady progress.

I’m to broadcast 

In a journey for my “soul purpose”, I understood that I was to broadcast my light from the top of a high mountain.  I’m to do that, each day – prepare another facet of my message, my insights, my explorations, and with Dolly’s help, push them or pull them closer to being visible in the world.  

My journey helped me accept my value

I gained two important insights from this journey.  I have to work on the limiting belief that my work is only semi-important in the world.  And I have to work every day to create the maps and guideposts I leave for others along this path I explore. Which means completing my projects and sending them on their way.

I can do that. Especially now that I have Dolly the Donkey nudging me to complete my work. 

How are the spirit guides helping you complete your work?

Expand Your Spiritual Heart
An Inner World Exploration

Behind our physical-plane heart is our spiritual heart.  It’s who we truly are. When you leave behind the limitations of your body suit, your physical ego, you become your spiritual heart.

Our spiritual heart lives in the Nowhere That We Came From. It is a universal heart. It is our collective heart. We must learn to live there. We must learn to live from there.

Our physical heart is our ego heart, our body suit heart.  It’s restricted and small and egocentric. It’s not the heart we want to use because it limits us.  It limits our vision. It limits our understanding.

When I use my universal heart, my spiritual heart, I see everyone and everything as radiant light. That’s all. Radiant light. There’s no physical plane argument or anger. Everything goes beyond even the human plane emotions of compassion and empathy.  The spiritual heart sees everything as radiant light. One light. It’s us. It’s me. It’s you. It’s all there is.

When we learn to see everything as light, the discord will disappear. That’s how much power we have. We see others as light. We see only light. We must learn to see only light. Because radiant light is all there is.

When you begin to reach out to another person, do so from your spiritual heart. Not your ego heart, not your human heart. Connect from your spiritual heart where you are light and they are light. Where you see only light.

It takes practice to come from your spiritual heart. It takes focus to continue to come from your spiritual heart.  We just need to practice it. Every day. Every moment. See the world and the plants and the animals and all the people in your life as light. Because that’s what they are. Radiant light.

Can you do that? Can you move out of your human heart, your body suit heart, into your radiant heart?  Your life will change when you do. 

Spiritual light is formless energy. Spiritual light is who you are.
