How to Hold High Watch for the Planet

An Exploration of the Unseen World

Collectively we have a huge impact on our planet – let’s put our consciously raised vibration to work for the highest good of all.

When we step forward as conscious participants in the Transformation Community, our collective energy both deepens and expands.  Others see our light, recognize themselves and join us.  And the healing of the planet increases. 

The planet needs us. It needs our vision.  It needs our spiritual commitment.  It needs us to hold High Watch.  Here’s how you can make a powerful difference in our world.

How to Hold High Watch for the Planet

REFLECTIONS OF A DEEPER SONG

An Exploration of the Unseen World

It’s a bit too easy to feel small and ineffectual when it comes to the planet.  How do we even begin to help create change?

What if I told you that you have an important role to play in healing the planet and that together, collectively, we have a huge impact. 

To our daily spiritual practice we add High Watch for the planet.  Let me show you how.

I’m Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community. I am  cosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world. I share what I learn and guide those who are ready to the next level so we can sing a deeper song.  

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode we learn How to Hold High Watch for the Planet.

There are transformational thinkers all over the planet who are holding High Watch for the world.  We sit in serene silence and radiate our light into the world – the people, the situations, the environment, our future.  We join with other light beings and begin to cover the planet in a heading, wholing, light vibration, working together to raise the collective consciousness. That’s how we hold High Watch for the world.   

You immediately have a lot of questions: 

What exactly is High Watch?

How do we hold High watch?

What makes High Watch work?

Let’s begin by answering the questions What is High Watch?

High with is about intentionally raising vibration and holding that higher frequency in place.

High Watch is about intentional raising the vibrational energy of a room or a ceremony or a situation or even the world by raising and focusing our thoughts and expectations to the highest level we can and holding them there.

As a member of the clergy in the Center for Spiritual Living 20 years ago, several of us were always assigned to sit in High Watch during every service. That meant we did not participate. We sat and held the energy of the room in our consciousness in order to keep it receptive and centered and open and loving.  

You do that with your intentions – by focusing on the serenity and tranquility and well-being for all. 

As the world undergoes rather dramatic changes, it’s easy to feel a bit ineffective in helping to create positive change. And If you are old like me, your options to participate in the word have some limitations. But boy, can I share positive energy!  I can hold High Watch for the world!  

I invite you, as a Transformational Leader, to add to your spiritual practice a period of holding High Watch for the World. That may mean sending light energy to a particular place or group or situation. It may mean seeing yourself joining with other points of light to cover the entire plant in an ever-brightening layer of light – of raised vibration. Then see and feel that light continue to thicken as others see and recognize the collective light and join in. Hold High Watch for the World in whatever way calls to you.

What elements do you want to put into your personal high watch for the planet?

You use vibration to send light consciousness

Because everything is vibration, our goal in holding High Watch is to raise our own vibration and to see others in their form of a higher vibration. Hold each other in Light. Hold us all in Light.

And once we have consciously raised our vibration, we hold that higher frequency in place.

Begin by sitting quietly.  Perhaps sit facing a window so you can begin by connecting with nature.  Feel your body gradually disappear and allow yourself to merge with the elements of nature – earth, air, water, fire, space until you experience the gradual, ever-flowing cycles that bring change. 

Notice your breathing slow and your body disappear until you are merged with the energy of All That is.  Begin to consciously and intentionally raise your vibration unit your body disappears and you are a strong, steady Light, a high vibration merging with  other strong high steady vibrations. 

Experience other vibrations joining this collection of Higher Vibration.  As more join the higher frequency stabilizes and becomes stronger and radiates throughout the planet to touch everyone, to lift the frequency of all. As you immerse yourself in this collective energy, feel the vibration raise even higher. 

Be with this experience.   Hold this higher frequency in place. Merge with the Collective Oneness.

Simply be.   

High Watch is an intentional raising of your vibration to a higher frequency that you hold in place so others experience it and join you. 

Your intention drives the energy

Set an intention.  Where do you want your wholing energy to go? 

Ask for the vibration to be for the highest good. No ned to  get more specific than that. Let the energy go where it is needed and do what is needed to be done. Trust the wholeness of energy to move a situation through its process of adjustment in the most wholistic manner and to restore balance where and when it is needed.

Begin by simply observing your breath. Slow your breath and pause at both the inhale and exhale. Become observant of what you experience in those moments. Shift your awareness within until your body presence disappears. Just sit there and radiate out your own powerful, all-encompassing light. 

Let your intention to raise your vibration do its work.  

Gradually allow yourself to feel yourself floating above the planet, shining your light of wholeness on it.  

As you float, you become aware of other light beings doing the same thing and gradually you feel a part of a cloud or layer of light surrounding our earth, holding the light energy of those who have awakened, who are aware that they are light. 

Our purposein holding High Watch for the World is to add our energy to that of the Light Collective and together to radiate our Light of Oneness out on the people on the earth so others begin to recognize themselves as being of that light and begin to raise their own vibration.  They begin to see it as a way they too can help our earth home. 

You will recognize this inner light as being something inside you that you can nurture and grow and blossom.  We are nurturing the seeds of awareness in others with the light of our spiritual focus.  

This is an individual spiritual practice that organically joins with others all over the world doing the same. 

Create your own spiritual practice of holding high watch. 

I have a soft Hug-a-Planet that I send energy to every day. I have a big light-box crystal that I touch each day in my morning spiritual practice and ask it to send support and love and deepened awareness to the light workers of the world. I have a tree outside my window that I use as a messenger to nature all over the planet, offering it wholeness and blessings and balance. I have a wind whistle I use to blow a blessing to the planet.  I play my Indian flute as I watch the sunset, sending my blessing on around the world to carry wholeness and healing. 

Sometimes, if there are places that seem at deep unrest, I lob a few envisioned light balls in their direction, to whole and heal and balance the area. But mostly, I simply sit and radiate out my light energy at various points in my day.

How do  you know your High Watch is working?

Once you begin looking for the signs of the impact of your High Watch for the World, you will see them.  It may be the branch of a tree waving at you as you walk by.  It may be a feeling of inner tranquility that you carry within you for longer and longer periods of time. It may be the story on the news of someone making a major positive difference in the care of our planet and its inhabitants. 

How will you begin to hold High Watch for the planet?

The Space of Inner Knowing

An Exploration of the Unseen World

When we learn to hear the guidance of our Inner voice where will it lead us?

There is so much guidance to be received from our Inner Knowing.  It holds an overview we cannot begin to experts here in our planetary presence. How do we learn to connect with our inner voice? How do we learn to receive its guidance?

When I came across this phrase it was so revealing, that I had to stop to figure out how to apply it

“The Great Void is the place where all solutions and answers live in harmony with the questions that fill our realities. The space of inner knowing.”

I love that – the space of inner knowing.  We all have it.  we just may not be accessing it the way we can and should, If we do learn to listen to our space of Inner Knowing,  Where will it lead us?

The Space of Inner Knowing
An Exploration of the Unseen World

Remember a time when you suddenly simply knew!  The answer just appeared out of nowhere?  It probably both surprised and mazed you?

Call it a hunch, call it intent,  call it insight…there is a place within you that knows sooooo much more than you here in your planetary persona every dreamed of.  And there is a way to cultivate that relationship, to get that inner voice to speak more clearly, more loudly.

The more you listen, the more you will hear.

That’s Voice Within is your Space of Inner knowing.  You connection to the Void of All-ness, the Unseen World

I’ve been exploring the Unseen World in some form for most of my life. I’m 87 so I’ve explored quite a few routes.  It’s always exciting to go adventuring into the Unseen World. In this episode we will learn to deepen our connection with this powerful voice within. 

Welcome to Reflections of a Deeper Song.  I’m Cara Lumen, Spiritual Philosopher andFounder of the Deeper Song Community. I help Transformational Leaders deepen our relationship with the Unseen World and 

expand our role in the New Consciousness. Thank you for being a part of this journey.

 This is episode  50 –   The Space of Inner Knowing

The more I listen, the more I hear. That has become my new mantra, my new way of being  It fills my awareness, my practice.  I listen more so I can hear more.  And boy is it working.  My inner voice is both loud and insistent!

The more I follow these inner directions, the more I m given to do.  It’s like I opened a flood gate and the ideas are pouring though. Just because I am listening to my inner voice. 

It seems that the more aligned I become through  heeding what I am told by taking steps to put them into play, the wider the doors of opportunity open.  

Ideas come floating through the air from a phrase on television, or a sentence I read in an email or an idea I hear in a class I am taking.  I listen carefully to my space of Inner Knowing in order to understand her messages more fully and to absorb them into my life. 

It can be a phrase I read, or a few words that make me want to explore the idea to see what it means to me. That’s what has prompted this particular podcast – a phrase that I want to explore and interpret and I’m doing it with you here and now.  

It came in an email but I can’t remember from where. But here’s the idea that touched me deep within: 

“The Great Void is the place where all solutions and answers live in harmony with the questions that fill our realities. The space of inner knowing.”

I love that.  The Space of Inner Knowing.  Where is that? What is that?  How do we access that?

It seems to me that we have there things to explore here: 

1 – The concept of the Great void

2 – How it is truly a place where solutions and answers all live in harmony with the questions that fill our reality  and

3 – How we access the space of inner knowing. How do we understand its messages and interpret them? 

Let’s begin be exploring the idea of a Great Void. To do that we will have to break away from our planetary persona which accesses understanding through the limited realm of thoughts and feelings – because those, by nature are limited. We have to work to get beyond our emotions and our mind.  

My preferred method for exploring the Unseen world is Shamanic journeying which is a form of meditation. It offers me fascinating metaphors that only I am to interpret.  I have been to the Void there. In my first few journeys, I could see very little. I sensed I was sitting in a circle around a campfire and there were others there but I could not see them.  That went on for several times as I learned to journey.  Now not only do I have awesome, wonderful helping spirits but I sometimes travel in the Void the great All-ness.  When I first began to visit the Void it was black.  Now the Void to me is iridescent.  And the really odd thing is that site often my major guide and I are both lying in hammocks attached to nothing and are talking.  Go figure. 

But you see, 95% of the world is Unseen, so we will each undoubtedly have a different experience when we go exploring. 

I like to think of the Void as our one-ness.  Rumi calls it the “Nowhere That We Came from”.  Another source I read a long time ago called it the Village of Nothingness”. It is also know as Tao. 

It is both a beginning and an ending point and it is ONE – whatever that feels and looks like to you. One.  No separation. No individuality.  Simply ONE. 

But here’s the part of that quote that I really loved: 

The void is “ a place where solutions and answers all lie in harmony with the questions that fill our realties.”  

How awesome to think of  solutions and answers lying right alongside the questions that fill our planetary presence  – ad they are in plain sight when we choose to look.  

Questions and not-knowing all come from our limited sense that we create here in our planetary presence.  

We get to learn to go to the Void for answers and guidance. 

A strong source of guidance comes for the cycles of nature.  

We’re alway in some stage of a cycle –  and even if we feel like we’ve been in the particular place before, we are actually a bit higher in the spiritual of the ongoing cycle.  We have progressed and return to that point that is slightly further along in the  cycle with deeper knowledge and heightened awareness. 

Part of the solution to allowing circumstances to unfold is to simply give ourselves time. 

Each time I stop to observe where I am, I find I have more to work with – more knowledge more understanding more insight.  And I move to enter another cycle.  

All you need to do is listen.  

Then explore what shows up to see how deeply it calls to you.  We have to learn to listen to our Inner Knowing. It will take us on great adventures and help us fulfill our destiny.

So here we are in the Great Void where solutions and answers all live in harmony with the questions that fill our realties in a space of inner knowing. 

How do we access it? How do we understand it? We need to learn to move inside to our Inner knowing for guidance. 

When  you listen the inner voice gets louder.

I’m a writer, and a number of years ago I began to have the experience of some pretty awesome phrases just sort of showing up – just flying right through my typing fingers.  Sometimes the ideas were so good that I figured they couldn’t possibly have come from me. So I pictured a trio of beaded men with quill pens, writing all this great stuff to give me. 

But is was me all late time.  My inner voice.  My inner knowing. My voice within. And I have learned to follow it.  

When I journey I type in what I see and hear and experience because that’s how I write – seated in my boy outfit and still able to move deep into the experience. 

I’m not suggesting that for you, I am suggesting that you may find an unusual way to listen to your inner voice.  Go with it. 

First  become aware of those intuitive insights that suddenly appear seemingly out of nowhere and begin to trust them.Then listen to that voice in your head that first whispers and then begin to shout at you with ideas and suggestions and insights you did not expect. Then keep going and find out how the Inner World wants to community with you.  Trust what you find there. 

Begin to set aside time to go exploring within.  I suggest silence. But you can use a drumming track or a chanting recording.  I happen to prefer silence.  Have a pen and paper nearly to take notes when you have finished your journey of exploration. Do notice the messages and pay attention. It is your Inner Wisdom seeking your attention.

The more I listen the more I hear.  And the more you hear the more you learn to interpret and apply what you discover. 

Your inner Voice will change your course. 

Las year, I dug deeply into the idea of raising our vibration  – I though that would be the focus of my work. And then one day I realized I had learned all needed to know about it – for now.  So I lined to my inner wisdom, changed direction and moved on. Then the idea of a New 

Consciousness emerging sent me on other journeys to discover what that means and what our role is – particularly mine and how I am to help you.  The more you listen the more you hear – and you understand. And the more aligned choices you discover. 

So here’s this statement again.  Take some time to explore what it means to you and how you wan tot apply it in our life. 

“The Great Void is the place where all solutions and answers live in harmony with the questions that fill our realities. The space of inner knowing.”

Think on that and see where it leads you.

The Gaia Gateway and Your Soul Star 

An Exploration of the Unseen World

955 of the world is Unseen.  We have much to learn when we go exploring there. It is important to begin our inner explorations by creating protection.  The first step is to create a Transformative Shield of Protection. The second step is to connect with the primal power of the earth through the Gaia Gateway and the all-encompassing power of the Universe through your Soul Star.  Then you open your heart to bring those combined energies into your being to guide and support your inner work.

THE GAIA GATEWAY AND YOUR SOUL STAR

An Exploration of the Unseen World

TRANSCRIPT

When you explore the Unseen World, whether by shamanic journeying or other forms of mediation, you want to set up protection  The Transformative Shield, the Gaia Gateway and You Sold Star strengthen you connection to your Guardian Spirts who then lead you safely into your Inner World exploration. 

In the previous episode I taught you how to create a Transformation Shield that transforms and transmute energy both with it and without – back toward you to transform your fears and anger and outward to transform and repurpose any negative energy that comes your way. It is an important first steep to any meditative work. 

In this episode I want to add two powerful steps to this opening preparation- a conscious connection with the Gaia Gateway and the Soul Star.  Acknowledging them, drawing power from them, expands and deepens your connection with the Unseen World 

I’m also going to teach you the sound of the Heart Chakra so that you can begin your shamanic journey, your meditation, your visioning, your inner work with protection and powerful intention. 

Welcome to Reflections of a Deeper Song.  I’m Cara Lumen, Spiritual Philosopher and Founder of the Deeper Song Community and I help Transformational Leaders deepen our relationship with the Unseen World and expand our role in the New Consciousness. Thank you for being a part of this journey.

 This is episode  49 The Gaia Gateway and the Soul Star.  

I was getting ready to host a zoom call with a group of my online friends that I call the Rainbow Weavers.  My friend, Christina,  who travels in the Unseen World a LOT more than I do insisted that I set up protection, connect with Gaia, connect with the Heavens and open my heart in order to mindfully and responsibly  begin our time together on the call.  I have experienced several versions of setting up protection in guided meditations led by others, but I had not had the occasion to create my own opening.  I received the concept of the  Transformative Shield in a Shamanic journey.  I needed to add these other three elements into my Sacred Opening of our Circle.  

The elements we need to add to the beginning of our inner world are 

– connection with The Gaia Gateway, 

– connection with Our Soul Star and 

– using a mantra to create a Heart Opening.

The first step  is to set up the Transformative Shield, a sphere of protective energy around yourself. If you are alone, do it for yourself.  If you are in a group, first teach each person to set u a transformative shield to protect themselves, then put the Transformation shield around the group as a whole.  Remember, the Transformative Shield transforms and repurposes energy back to you on the inside of the shield shield and out to anything in the Unseen World that comes your way.

Once we have set up our protection,  we begin to connect with the Unseen World. We begin with the Gaia, the earth, our planetary home. The Gaia Gateway lies beneath our feet.  It is our grounding here in our planetary persona of our personalized self- expression. We make this connection with the intention that all we do and say is and will support our highest unfolding purpose.  

We begin our centering process, by feeling our energy reach out though our feet to move deep within the earth, to the core of molten energy of Gaia the soul of the earth.  Feel her molten power rise up within and through you, strengthening you, connecting you with the unfolding cycles of nature, making your physical plane body disappear into the rising energy that fills you.

Notice how that feels. How grounded, how protected  you feel. 

Sit in the fullness of that moment.  Feel the healing take place on all levels, your emotions, your physical body, your mind.  Fill yourself with the healing power of Gaia. Allow the energy from the Gaia Gateway to bring you a state of tranquility and centered stillness. 

Only then do you move to confess with your Soul Star.

The Soul Star is your connection with your higher self.  It is a star just for you.  It brings you guidance from the Unseen World, the Great All-ness, the Nowhere that ou came from. 

You can picture it up in the galaxies but you bring it in though your 8th chakra which is 18 incites above your head. 

The Soul Star is Infinite Energy.  It is an opening for the Highest Vibration to enter to balance and guide you on your journey.

As you connect with your Sou Star, feel this Vibration of Oneness flow through your body and fill it with love.  Feel it mix with the power of the vibration of Gaia. Healing and wholing and raising your vibration unit you are tingling all over.  

It is from that place of centered connexion above and below that you open your heart. You connect the three worlds, lower, upper and middle within you. 

To make this connection we use a mantra.  A mantra is a sacred song.  It is not to be translated, its power lies in its pure vibration. Just let the energy carry it. It heals us and helps us heal others. 

The mantra we will use is  Hreem. It has creative power, it opens our hearts in connection. And it make us receptive to Divine Wisdom. It is spelled H R I M and is pronounced ‘hreem‘ It holds creativity and healing powers. Speaking it has the power to awaken and purify your heart.

As you make the sound three times, feel it emirate from your heart chakra, first to Gaia below, then to you Soul Star above and then feel it connect all three worlds in your physical body. 

Make the sound hreem three times and feel your heart vibration expand and extend out into the world 

–   Hreem  Hreem  Hreem. 

You are now ready to journey, to meditate, to visualize or to simply sit in sublime tranquility. 

Be present, be aware, and with each breath bring in higher vibration and greater tranquility until you are walking the earth as a light being that touches and changes everything and every one.

The Transformational Shield, the Gaia Gateway, the Soul Star and the chanting of a sacred mantra should be apart of your daily spiritual practice. 

I recede the following message from my guides in the Unseen World on a shamanic journey: It is for both of us. 

“In your meditation, in your work in your daily life, be present, be aware until you are walking the earth as a light being that touches and changes everything and everyone that it meets. You are a transformational Shield.  You have the ability to change what is within you into positive energy. You have the ability to transform any energy that comes to you and raise its vibration and its intention. See yoruself as a walking catalyst for change.  A transformative Shield changing and raising the energy of everything you come in touch with.  

Thank on that – and it will change how you walk the earth.
