How to Use our Interconnection to Heal the World

October 27, 2016 By Cara Lumen

We are interconnected with everyone else through the web of life. We must act as if we are the whole planetary system, because we are.

We are the earth

When we know we are the earth, we become more conscious of how much we consume, how we dispose of our waste, our use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers — all the ways we damage and destroy our earth home and the creatures living on it

When we know that we’re the oceans, we stop leaving our plastic to harm the homes and lives of the animals who live there. We stop putting in chemicals or creating oil spills. We are aware that the seas are rising and entire islands are disappearing.

We may choose to eat organic to support those who do not use pesticides. We may monitor our driving so that we don’t add to the air pollution.

Give some thought to your connection with the earth and care for it as if it is you — because it is.

We are the animal kingdom

When you become aware that you are an integral part of the animal kingdom, you won’t want to do harm to any animal. As I’m a vegan, no animal is harmed or confined because of me. I financially support organizations that are caring for the animals of the planet. I am one with all the animals in he world — as are you.

We are the plant kingdom

I offer gratitude to the tree that shares my window, to the grass that is soft to walk on, to the vegetables that offer me sustenance, to the small animals under the earth that fertilize the soil for the growth of the planet. I am the soil of the earth — as are you.

I am all there is. As are you.

I am the rock that makes a mountain, the water that forms the sea, the clouds that distribute moisture, the birds and bees that pollinate, the animals who roam the land, the fish that inhabit the sea, and I am all the people in the world. As are you.

Our actions affect everything

Become more aware of your place in the web of life, the energy of connection that links each and every one of us to each other. We must act as if we are the whole planetary system, because we are.

Walk softly on our planet.

Where Your Mind Goes Qi Goes

June 16, 2022 By Cara Lumen

Where Your Mind Goes Qi Goes

Living Our Deeper Song

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

I was struggling to do the moves in Robert Peng’s qigong class when he said, “Where your mind goes the Qi goes.” I was already tingling all over with the moves even though I was only halfway able to do some of the standing exercises. What a powerful gift to know that my mind directs the Qi energy. So even as I work to self-heal using Qigong moves, my intention is doing a lot of the work too.

So I get to start looking at my life choices from a different viewpoint. Where is my mind focusing my energy in this chaotic world? Big question. Not a good answer for me. I’m too focused on what is not working. What you focus on you get. So I really get to examine what I am focused on. What I expect for myself. What I expect for the world, for where your mind goes the Qi goes. I get to monitor my thoughts and my intentions. I get to picture Qi energy going in and fixing things in my body. And in my life. Intention and focus and action. Where are you directing your attention? Where are you directing the Qi energy that exists everywhere? What are you expecting? We get what we expect we deserve and what we believe is possible. That’s a sneaky one. And can get us stuck in odd places that we are not aware of. The Qi energy will go wherever your mind goes. Send it to the places that are not working and watch change happen.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I use my mind to direct Qi energy for self-healing.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

Perhaps do some study of Qigong and acupressure points to become more aware of the interconnection of every part of our body and how easy it is to access a meridian and focus Qi energy towards wholeness. Two sources are Robert Penn and Grandmaster Chuny Lin

===INNER WORK===

The Waxing and Waning of Cycles

Life is one continuing mixture of changing cycles. Some are waxing. Some are waning. Some are on the physical plane. Some are on the emotional plane. Some are on the spiritual plane. You don’t have to know where you are in the cycle. The waning cycle is meant to be a time to regroup and restore and rethink and re-choose. The waxing cycles is when you get to work. You make stuff happen. You take action and explore. Different aspects of your life are in different phases of the waxing and waning cycle. And yet there is a general overview flow to your life. Know when it is time to change cycles and rethink and re-examine and heal and mend before starting out again. Know when it is time to step forward and take a new path, find a new adventure, seek answers for your path. Begin to notice the guidance of the cycles of your life – both inner and outer.

The Power of Introspection

It is important to take time to understand why you feel the way you do and why you do what you do. The more you understand the reasoning or impulses behind any action, the more control you have over it. Look over the choices you make each week. Take time to understand why you see things the way you do, why you think the way you do, why you respond the way you do, why you react the way you do. That will help you make more informed choices. Spend time in introspection not to be critical but to understand and perhaps make new choices.

===SELF-HEALING===

It’s Never Too Late to Self-Correct

Part of this is a pep talk for me. It is never too late to self-correct. I eat a lot of chocolate chips and said to my friend Shelley that I was perhaps eating too many and she said, “There comes a time when it doesn’t make any difference.” But that’s not true. How you care for your body always makes a difference.

I have come across three men in their 70s who are not doing anything to keep their bodies moving. We’re talking 20 more years here of not moving. And it gets worse if you don’t self-correct now. This is a warning. Keep your body strong! And yes, it gets a tad harder as you get older. You have to find a version of movement that works for you.

Now I will tell you that I am doing Qigong moves even while barely being able to stand in my walker and it is making a difference. I wish I had begun to do it before I couldn’t stand up very well. There are gentle forms of movement that will keep you going. Qigong, Tai Chi, and if you have a tool like yoga in place, don’t neglect it. Keep doing it as you age. I can’t emphasize this enough. It is no fun to not be able to walk very well or get up out of a chair very well or get in and out of bed easily. And those everyday things are what will begin to get difficult if you do not continue to cultivate the strength in your own body.

It is never too late to self-correct. Do something! And do it today.

===OUTER WORK===

Look on the Bright Side

What you see you get. So when you consciously choose to look for the positive that’s what you find. When you choose to look for the doom and gloom that’s what you find. So we have a very strong choice every moment. We can look at the gifts that were brought by any circumstance and we can look at the challenges as opportunities to learn. How do you view the circumstances of your life and can you change them into seeing the bright side?

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Personal Fulfillment

What have you done recently that makes you feel really good or nourished by what you experienced? What are you learning? That’s personal fulfillment and we get to pay attention to the choices we make and how it unfolds because we have choice in how we sprinkle it throughout our day.

I cheer myself on when I do a Qigong move better or longer than I have before. I write on this newsletter every day and each time there is a sense of joy and fulfillment at being able to discover something to share with you. What makes you feel fulfilled in the course of your day and how can you put more into your life experience?

And I may even take the class even though I’ve studied with her quite a few times before. I just need a new approach to the planet right now. FYI.

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

Examine It From Several Viewpoints

Things look different from the inside than they do from the outside. Circumstances seem different when you’re in the middle of them than they do when you are an observer. Change your viewpoint and gain new understanding of a circumstance. Perhaps you gain a new view of the circumstances that came to pass by stepping into the other person’s shoes to see it from their point of you. It will open up new facets and intuition, new opportunities and informed directions. Notice what your viewpoint is and then shift it. Are you an insider looking out or an outsider looking in? The more viewpoints you get on a particular aspect of your life, the greater diversity you can encourage in your response. Keep looking from different viewpoints.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Leave Space for the Future to Unfold

Are you a planner? Do you like to know what’s going to happen next? What if you backed off and left space for the future to unfold? What would happen? What would that feel like? What would you stop doing?

I love to let the future unfold. It gives me room to listen to the small nudges and the big bumps on the head the universe provides that say – check this one out, see if you like this one, go here, perhaps this is what you want. The universe gives us many options. It is up to us to stay flexible and curious and look at what is unfolding from where we are right now. Not where we plan to be or where we hope to be, but where we are right now.

Sit right here in your day and don’t have a plan. And see what your inner self, your inner wisdom suggests are possibilities for exploration. Then from the same place of stillness, see what you want to do. Don’t think about what it will lead you to or show you how you might get there. Simply be present and experience the idea. That’s how you leave space for your life to unfold.

===CARA’S CORNER===

Too Much – Too Little

I’m falling into some ruts and I need to not only identify them but to change them. What unhealthy habits have you fallen into? What are you doing too much of? What are you doing too little of?

I’m sitting too much. I need to get creative about where I stand up and how long I stand up and whether I walk or stand or do Qigong or whatever I need to do to change this lack of movement. It’s easy to unconsciously fall into a habit that becomes too much of one thing. Seek balance as you make your choices to keep your body and your mind and your emotions and your spiritual life healthy and expanding. If you don’t want to go for a walk – dance. If you’re watching too much television, go read something that’s less sedentary or more enlightening.

Question your daily choices. Are you doing enough? Are you doing too little? But more importantly are you getting the results that you want and deserve? If I want my body to get stronger there are choices I need to make to make that happen. Look at the result you are achieving and see what you need to do more of and less of.

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

The Rhythm of Wholeness

Too much. Too little. Not enough. Am I getting the results I desire?

Too much. Too little. Not enough. Am I getting the results I desire? What do I want? What do I need to change? What do I need to release? I alone can make those choices.

Too much. Too little. Not enough. Am I getting the results I desire? What do I want? What do I need to change? What do I need to release? I alone can make those choices. I am the designer of my life. I have created the outcomes by the choices I made. What do I want? And how do I get it? I make changes. I have choice.

The 7 -7 Vibrational Healing Drumming Day

March 30, 2019 By Cara Lumen

The 7 -7 Vibrational Healing Drumming Day

On the 7th of every month, wherever you are on the planet, you are invited to create a wholing vibration for seven minutes at any time in your day with the intention of balancing our planet. It can be drumming, toning, chanting, using any form of vibration that calls to you.

We are vibration and vibration can heal and whole. When we raise our own personal vibration, it radiates out to enhance the vibration of others. The idea came when I learned to drum to heal myself in a class with drummers in over 30 countries. It felt awesome to think of all of us drumming for wholeness on one particular day.

As participants in the collective power of this world-wide vibrational energy, we can focus our drumming on very specific intentions – a population in crisis, a species of animals in danger, an environmental unbalance. However we frame our own intention for healing will be magnified by the collective vibrations sent out in that 24 hours in which it is possible that someone somewhere in the world is drumming for wholeness. As more people begin to drum, we will certainly create a ripple that will be felt and heard!

Drum for healing

Sound healing is powerful. Whether it is a drum, a flute, a chime, a bell, two stick struck tougher or your voice, vibration is a powerful balancer. Feeling and hearing a sound attunes our whole body and radiates out into our world.

The ripple effect

Will you join us? As more and more people choose to drum to the planet for 7 minutes on the 7th day of each month, it is possible that there will be drumming somewhere on the planet for 24 hours on that day. What a powerful effect that will have on our world consciousness!

Drum with intention

You are to drum with the intention to heal. The focus will be an individual choice. You might drum to one of the elements – more water, less water – your choice will determine the sound and rhythm and perhaps even your drum choice. Let the focus of your intention to send wholing vibration suggest the rhythm. The one uniting element in the 7-7 Vibrational Healing Drumming Day is drumming with the intention to raise the collective vibrational consciousness of the planet.

Experiment with sound

As I began to work with my drums for personal healing, I found a rhythm that resonated to me and I began to repeat it. I played it with my mallet. I played with my hands. I held the drum so the back faced my heart and let the vibration move deep into my body. I played it with the sounds of the different elements. I played on the rim. I played in the center. I used fingers and palms and the edges of my hand. My body began humming with healing vibration.

All sound creates vibration

This is a vibrational healing. You can use chimes and Tibetan Healing Bowls and tuning forks and rattles – whatever sound instrument calls to you, including your voice. You can sing and chant or tone. The focus is that for seven minutes on the seventh day of the month you will send a vibration of wholeness that will join with the vibration of others with the same intention in order to create a thick layer of an intentional wholing vibration that will raise the vibration of all of us – those participating and those unaware of the vibration.

7 minutes on the 7th Day to raise the collective consciousness of our world

Notice what changes. In you. In the world around you You will feel serene, connected, empowered, and know that you are an important contributor to the healing our world.

7 minutes on the 7th of the month to raise the vibration of our planet.

Will join us?

Deeper Song Affirmation

I lovingly send a healing vibration out into our planet.

Deeper Song Process

Mark your calendar for the 7th of the month.
If you have a drum begin to experiment with it to find a healing rhythm that resonates with you.
If you don’t have a drum, experiment with sound, a spoon and a pan, a pencil against a desk, your hands clapping on your knees. Use your voice or other sound instruments that call to you. Find how you want to participate and begin to experiment with rhythms until you find a pattern that resonates with you.
Begin to practice with your healing rhythm. If it is a Buffalo or frame drum, hold it so the back vibrates against your body. If it is a bell or a chime, move it around your body. However you hold and play your chosen instrument, notice the vibration it offers as well as the sound.
Be aware of what changes take place in your body.
Become aware of what changes in the world around you.
On the 7th day of each month, create a positive vibration for 7 minutes with the intention to raise the vibrational consciousness of our planet.

Your Desire to Heal the World

June 27, 2017 By Cara Lumen

I want to help. I want to be an active part of the transformation community. I want to help heal the world.

It’s a lot easier to become a part of planetary change than you think.

We work outside of time and space

I was getting a little caught up in the idea of finding a group with which to do group healing work. I regularly join in Full Moon and New Moon groups to focus our energy, but the more chaotic our world becomes the more active I want to be.

As we work outside of time and space, whenever, wherever, we do our wholing work, it is effective. Someone, someplace in the world, is doing the same thing and our light energies will meet up.

What quantum physics has to say

“In quantum physics if you change the behavior of one particle, another particle in a different location will instantaneously react whether inches or universes away.” – Dr. Eric Pearl, author of The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself

With every meditation, every prayer, every journey, we change ourselves, our vibration, our energy. And that automatically and forever has impact on our world. Our job then, is to consciously continue to increase our own light in the world. We do that through intentionally working in our inner world.

Lower frequencies emulate or attune to higher frequencies

Are you a higher frequency? Do you look for and see the good in others? Are you always thoughtful and considerate in your interactions? Do you hold a loving space in your heart even for those with whom you do not agree?

We are not trying to change anyone

This wholing work is not about seeing people as wrong or less than whole, it’s about holding the Light of Wholeness so anyone who is looking for it can find it. We are members of the Transformational Community, we are Light Holders, Hope Shiners, Gatherers to our Heart.

When we, in our own space, do daily imaginative, intentional work, it does have an impact in the world. Our spark of love and inclusion connects with sparks of others and the high vibrations find each other and surround the planet.

It begins with you

Begin with your own daily blessing to the world. I use my Tree Messenger to carry my blessings around the world. I work with my spirit guides to open space for healing and wholeness. It’s not about sitting and asking the Universe to do it for you. It’s about you, in your space, wherever you are, actively focusing your consciousness toward holding High Watch for our Planet, for our Universe, and knowing that our Light Energy is connection with the Light Energy of others to heal the world.

Will you begin today to be a Messenger of Light and wholeness for our world?

Our Work in the World

February 2, 2017 By Cara Lumen

Those of us who are spiritually active have very specific and powerful work to do. We have steadily worked to develop a highly conscious awareness. We look for spiritual guidance in the lessons of nature and embrace the on-going cycles of change. We understand our interconnection will everything. This inclusive consciousness gives us the ability and responsibility to promote and support positive change and we are greatly needed in the world of today.

At first I didn’t understand how I could help. I watched divisiveness and negativity and hatred erupt, even in countries that seemed more tolerant and accepting of individual expression. It shocked and dismayed me and I felt truly helpless.

Join with others to change the group consciousness

As I began to join groups of people from all over the world who came together to vision and meditate for a common cause, to focus their group energy on a higher outcome, I felt useful. I felt needed. And I did more.

I now understand the power we, as conscious, caring individuals, have to change our world. Those of us who work with the express purpose of helping the world to move into a higher consciousness, are expanders of consciousness, changers of the group energy.

This of us who are using our spirituality to heal and whole, are finding each other online and in person. As we combine our collective energy, we bring peace and harmony to others. Since our work is on the inner plane it may not be readily noticeable, but people will feel it and radiate more wholeness in their lives. Their light will ripple out and touch the hearts of others and the world will change and heal.

We energy workers are a small percentage of the population and there’s much work to do. Collectively we are very impactful.

We hold the vision

As spiritually aware and consciously active participants in our world, we are charged with holding a vision — a vision of inclusiveness, empathy, and active caring for the well-being of the whole planet, not just our own personal life experience.

We learn to move beyond ourselves to think bigger, to see the overview, to pull others up so they can see new possibilities. We believe that we can heal and whole our world by changing the group consciousness around what is possible. And that work begins with each of us and our daily, individual, active spiritual practice, whatever that looks like to you.

What is our purpose?

As healers of the planet, our purpose goes beyond our own lives. We have to hold the light for those who are not yet in the place of understanding that we are all one energy, that we are interconnected, that we are the same. Our purpose is to hold high a light of collective consciousness and show others the path to feeling and knowing and immersing themselves in the oneness that we are. We are leaders and explorers. We are way-showers. We are teachers, and guides. We are consciousness changers.

We do our work by actively and consciously focusing positive energy, both in our individual spiritual practice and in like-minded groups. Our personal energy work makes a major difference in the world, but when we gather together and focus on the same positive purpose, we more greatly affect the group consciousness and that leads to major positive change in our world.

Do your consciousness work – daily

Do some form of purposeful energy work every day. Meditation, prayer, affirmations, visioning, hands-on service. Shift your own consciousness to become more inclusive, more empathetic. Broaden your experience of the glorious diversity around you. Look for the gifts others bring. Learn from them Love them. Send your soul out into the world to heal and whole.

Do the work, daily. Focus on the well-being of the whole world or focus on a specific cause. Work with the knowledge that we are all one energy, one web of life. As you work, watch for change and become more aware of the power of your own focused and purposefully intention.

That’s our work in the world. To shine light in the dark corners and show others a higher path.
