(“Ah-Shay”)

 The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

It has been 60 years since I was in an Episcopal church service. I had been a Presbyterian before that. It was interesting to watch the services for Queen Elizabeth and remember some of those ritual patterns. 

When I was a senior in college, I took a comparative religion course and had never even heard of half of the religions we studied. Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jews, folk or traditional religions, includingAfrican traditional religions, 

Chinese folk religions, Native American religions, Australian aboriginal religions, Baha’i faith, Judaism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Tenrikyo, Wicca and Zoroastrianism. There is a myriad of meaningful approaches to a spiritual life.

My spiritual life has evolved. I discovered philosopher-poets like Rumi and Kahlil Gibran and Tagore who speak deeply to me. In 2000, after five years of study, I became a spiritual practitioner in the Center for Spiritual Living. I love the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchel’s translation). I have studied and embraced many elements of shamanism. I have explored the energy philosophies of Qigong and Yoga. I do shamanic journeying several times a week and explore the unusual realms I am shown. And I have become aware that my spiritual path is about to take a new and upward and powerful turn. And that is unfolding fairly rapidly. It is indeed an eclectic spiritual path I have followed.  

How are you exploring spiritually now? We usually begin with whatever our parents taught us. Sometimes we stay with that. Do you move through life looking for the concepts that touch your soul and follow wherever they may take you? You may end up following one path. Or you may end up with an eclectic spiritual practice. It’s all perfect. Whatever opens new doors and takes you deeper within is the place to go exploring.

How has your spirituality expanded? What new spiritual path will you explore next?

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I am open to an expanded and eclectic spiritual path. I go exploring.

Deepen Your Inner Awareness

What Is The Foundation For Your Beliefs?

The beliefs we hold have risen from many places. A great many were taught to us by our parents based on their beliefs and their life experience ad their parent’s beliefs. Many beliefs are passed down in cultures. Those are tricky to identify and overcome because they were given to us at such an early age that we don’t think to question them. 

Another set of beliefs develops over our life experiences. We can sometimes identify those that come out of a specific experience or relationship. All of those experiences culminate into a belief of what is possible. 

Question your beliefs. I’m a metaphysician so my beliefs are focused around life, it’s purpose and its process and I continue to find ways to explore the unseen world. It has happened organically as I have come across new ways of going within.

We change our beliefs because we learn something that resonates more deeply. We organically let go of the familiar and establish and embrace a new set of beliefs. That probably means our friends will change as we seek like-minded people who are exploring similar paths to share in our adventure. 

Changing your beliefs will change your trajectory. Identify and question all of the beliefs that are guiding your life and see if they are still relevant to the journey you want to take.

I’m working at changing a lot of my beliefs about age because I’ve never gone through this part of the aging process before. What I believe is possible for me at this stage in my life has changed with the aging process. 

What impactful changes can you make? Do you start something new? Do you stop something you’ve been doing? What changes can you make that will change the trajectory of your life? 

I believe that I can help change the world through my thoughts and intentions. I believe that I have the ability to self-heal. I don’t always know exactly how to do that but I believe it can be done. I have an interesting set of beliefs about what happens when you die based on Michael Newton’s books. And I continue to learn life lessons like when to let go of a concern and simply trust. 

Allow your beliefs to change. Question your beliefs. Discard the beliefs that no longer serve you. 

Explore the new possibilities that open up with the clearing of that space. Look closely at the foundations for the beliefs you hold today. Explore other cultures. Notice what science is opening up as possibilities. And perhaps establish new beliefs to carry you forward. 

You Are Your Own Everything

You are your own lover, your own teacher, your own best friend, your own healer – you are your own everything. Stop looking outside yourself, just do the work yourself.

Wow. That puts it all on you, your choices your thoughts, your inner wisdom. That’s where your guidance is. That’s where your insights come from. That’s where your actions originate – within you.  Whatever you observe in the world around you, it ultimately is up to you what you do with it – accept it, change it, reject it – it’s your choice. There’s no one outside of you to get the job done.  You are the one that makes you feel happy. You are the one to make you feel loved. You are the one who guides your steps and chooses your path. Follow your own inner wisdom. Watch for the nudges the universe provides for you and be your own best friend.

===SELF-HEALING===

Take Responsibility for Healing Yourself

Overview

We are responsible for our own healing and choices to do or not do things that affects our physical form. How are you doing? What areas of your life need to be strengthened? How would you do that? Will you do that? 

When we look at the overview of our life, it is easier to see the patterns that were established in the areas that are calling out for change.

First, identify what needs to change and then explore and experiment how you would like to change it and what methods you would use to do so.

I am resisting walking more but I am welcoming the Qigong shaking exercise and a Qigong sequel for joints. What will you do? Don’t beat yourself up for what you won’t do. Substitute. Identify what you will do and do it. I’m going to add more stretching moves when I stand at the kitchen sink. I’m going to do more standing and looking out the window. Substitute as you will, but keep the over-arching purpose in mind – to create a change that improves your life on some level. 

It could be more meditation, it could be more movement, it could be different eating, it could be a real shift in attitude. Change is good. 

Pause and take an overview of where you are in life and make some new choices. Is it time you create some changes in your life? Do it!

Where The Mind Goes, The Qi Goes

In my Qigong Yin-Yang course, Robert Penn said, “Where the mind goes the Qi goes.”  I need to get busy. That means that my thoughts can alter a physical condition, a situation, an event – wherever I direct my intention. I already knew that as a Reiki master teacher. But it was good to be reminded. I need to be conscious with that much power. I need to be selective with that much power. I need to be productive with that much power. My thoughts create my reality. We are responsible for what we experience. Oh dear, I have some work to do. 

Know that your mind can send healing Qi energy wherever you send it. What well you heal today? What will you change today? Get to work. There is much power within your mind and your intentions.   Where the mind goes the Qi goes

The Voice of Authority

I have dry macular degeneration for which Western medicine knows no cure. And I have an eye doctor appointment soon so I have to be really careful about what I let the “voice of authority” tell me is possible or not possible. I can hold on to the holistic belief that we can rebalance and self-cure our physical bodies. 

And I am gradually losing my eyesight. So what adjustments do I get to make in order to stay functional? What new skills am I to learn? What things will be out of reach for me? 

I know that I’m going to start listening to more podcasts and audiobooks so that I know how to do that. What about ordering groceries online or accessing my bank account? What creative adjustments will I need to make there? 

What I really have to guard is my belief in what is possible and my belief in what I deserve. I have to really, really stay on top of that in order to have a voice in this particular unfolding physical process.

Who we see as an authority figure or what concepts we believe are hard to overcome requires us to move into our personal belief system in defiance of what appears in our material world. When we search, we can find those seeming miracles. 

Be aware of the power you give those you see as knowledgeable.  Look for some of the miracles that have happened for others.  Whatever you feel, there are always exceptions to everything and you might just as well be one of them. 

Simple Changes

My office chair broke several months ago and I have been sitting on a walker and it hurts my body. I have finally replaced it with a new office chair and it is making tremendous shifts in how I’m able to work at the computer. 

What have you put off replacing that could change your life? With this new chair my posture is different, I can work longer, I can actually lean back. It has been too long since I had a chair that would allow me to do that. Why do we put off the things that we know are good for us for so long? 

Look around at the things you need to change, whether it’s physical or emotional or even spiritual. What have you been putting off and will you do it now? Then notice what happens. Be prepared for positive change.

Your Weekly Promise

I thought I was going to write a little segment about setting goals until I realized this is really about making a promise to myself to do some things that I really want to do and have been putting off. I have a podcast I really want to listen to and have been putting off. That’s on my promise to myself list. I really need and want to establish a walking pattern each day. That’s on my self-promise list. I really want to learn that joint healing Qigong series that I shared last week. That’s on my list. I will keep it to those three things because I want to establish the habit of making a promise to myself to do something that I really want to do and do it. What will you promise yourself to do this week just for you? Keep it simple. Keep it small. And make it happen. 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Self-Healing Spiritual Practice and Deepening Awareness of Our Cosmic Oneness

A Focused Eye

Take time to examine your spiritual practice to make certain it is meeting your needs. What is nudging you? What can you do more of? What will you do less of? What new spiritual practice do you want to explore? Make changes in your spiritual practice.

One of the practices I may begin to do again centers around a box in which I have put quotes that are really meaningful to me. The practice is to simply draw one out of the box each day and explore it during the day. I have quotes from the Tai Te Ching, Rumi, Tagore, Deng Ming-Dao, Stephen Mitchell on a range of topics. So drawing out one quote is an interesting way to focus my day. Sometimes it prompts me to take an action. Sometimes it is just something to contemplate. What element can you add to your spiritual practice that will deepen your experience? 

Anchor The Intention With A Talisman

A talisman is any item imbued with a specific power by its bearer to serve a specific intention.

It could be a crystal you hold or wear.  It can be something you write or read aloud.  It can be a plant or a song. A talisman is used to anchor energy on the physical plane.

Traditionally, a talisman anchors energy in the physical plane. That energy may be protective in nature or may be intended to draw abundance, wealth, or a wide variety of blessings to its user. 

A talisman is usually something from nature. Meaning might come with words or symbols or color or shape – whatever calls to you.

I have a lot of crystals. Hand holders, clusters, small stones, tall columns, round stones in all colors. I hold them in my left hand and listen to their message. Then I choose how to use them in my spiritual practice. 

Where you place your talisman may have an impact on its energy so tune in as you place it and experiment. I am aware of the directions when I placed things on my altar. 

It would also be interesting to rearrange your altar at the equinoxes and solstice to honor the seasons.

What objects will you select to guide you and where do they belong in your spiritual practice? What talismans will you choose to use and for what purpose? The physical properties of the talisman are not as important as the intention of its bearer. If you are grounded in your desires, your talisman will give you something that you can concentrate on to help you affirm your intention and achieve your goals. 

===GUIDANCE FROM OUR COSMIC COUNSELORS ===

Listen Beyond The Voice Within 

I go to my secret garden and sit on the bench beside the reflecting pool. Across the pool my three cosmic counselors are dancing. They are dancing in a slow circle and my squirrel guide is beating a drum for the rhythm they dance to. It is a dance of movement and change. It is a dance of moving forward. It is a dance of releasing and moving on. It’s a dance of evolution.

We are to move with the rhythm of unfolding. We are to be aware and flexible and willing to change. And most of all we are to trust that what we will be given, the opportunities that will open up, will be absolutely perfect for where we are in our life right now.

The three Cosmic Counselors end their dance and with their hands in prayer position bow to each other. The squirrel guide puts down her drum. They sit in a circle of serene contemplation – ready, willing, and open to change. 

I sit on the bench beside the reflecting pool and do the same.

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGS===

Expand Your Role In The Rapidly Evolving Universe

How Do You Use Time?

We can spend time, we can lose time, we can waste time, we can value time. How do you view time? How do you value time? How do you use time?

I have some serious soul-searching to do because I waste a lot of time on activities that do not improve any facet of my life. How do I change? 

I’m aware of some choices I would like to make like listening to podcasts and audiobooks. But I haven’t taken those steps yet. It’s way too easy to stay stuck in a mindless game of Spider Solitaire and reruns. What a true waste of my time. 

Now I know I can’t work all the time. I need to have balance. I write often throughout my day as an idea comes up and I dictate a version of what I want to say. But there are huge chunks of time that I spend mindlessly. I would like to stop that.

I want to explore and cultivate alternative options. Which means I have to listen to the podcast on the Akashic records that I know about and have wanted to listen to for three weeks straight. Just do it. I identified at least one book I want to read. I know of one audiobook I want to get. Why do I fall back into the mindless choices that have almost become a habit? How do I, we, get unstuck from non-supportive choices? 

Just do it. One step at a time. I am writing this particular segment on a Sunday. Monday I will listen to that podcast. Tuesday I will order that audiobook and listen for an hour. That’s a start. Just begin.  I will notice my choices and then be selective and purposeful. I will keep myself from falling into the mindless routines that are easy but nonproductive. That doesn’t mean I have to be busy. I just need to keep exploring new options.

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

Raise Your Sights and Your Expectations 

Learn From Other Cultures

My life is rather eclectic. I’ve taken bits and pieces from the spiritual practices of many cultures and have turned them into my own version of spirituality. I like Taoism. I like some of the ceremonies of the Native American cultures. I talk to crystals, I like flower essences. I have studied yoga and Qigong and Shamanism. I learned from Eastern poets like Rumi and Gibran and Tagore. I have absorbed ideas from many cultures into my life. That is a good thing. 

I will always question a new belief to see if it suits me at this stage of my particular path. Sometimes I adapt it. Sometimes I absorb it. Sometimes I only take a small portion of it. 

Examine your own belief system and see if what’s there is what you really truly want to keep. Perhaps do some spiritual practice cleaning. Perhaps do some simple rearranging. Examine the beliefs you hold and see if they are what you want guiding you in your life today. Choose what serves you now. 

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Support and Encouragement for our Unfolding Role in the Future

Fall Cleanup

Depending on where you are on the planet, it is fall. And that means it is time to clean up and put away things for the winter. What in your life do you need to clean up? This might be a good time to look and do the work. 

Pause at this change of seasons to evaluate what you are creating in your life, what you want to release in your life, and what results you want to encourage in your life. Any change of season is a good opportunity to evaluate where you are and plan your future.  

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs   

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is often shown as a pyramid that shows our basic needs. Here are our needs from the wide bottom up: 

  • physiological
  • safety
  • belonging and love
  • esteem
  • cognitive
  • aesthetic
  • self-actualization
  • transcendence.  

Obviously the top gets narrower and that means if you are at a survival level there is no way you can think about self-actualization. Your paramount focus is to survive. So when I hear prospective voters in the US put the economy first, I realize they are more in survival than concerned over the possible loss of democracy in this country. That’s too esoteric for them at this stage of their being-ness. 

If you are reading this you are certainly in the self-actualization category and we’re working our way into transcendence. 

Those of us who are toward the upper point of this pyramid of needs have work to do that only we can do. It is consciousness work. It is visualization work. It is holding High Watch for the planet work. It doesn’t make me happy about the people in the lower, broader base of this pyramid who want to abolish democracy but it helps me understand that they feel threatened on the survival level. You cannot possibly think in terms of self-actualization and transcendence which are at the lower and broader end of the pyramid.

We have work to do, those of us who can. I suggest that what we want to do is to go within and consciously become aware of our own role as a Light Bearer for this planet. How we are to express that is still unfolding. 

I’m going to suggest we begin with our spiritual practice. Perhaps we spend time focused on balancing the entire planet. Perhaps we spend time focused on healing or changing a situation.  If you were going to help create change in the world, what would your focus be?

I send energy to the planet for self-healing, the power to restore its rivers, to cease its destructive weather patterns and forest fires, and begin to self-heal.

I do not understand those who seek to do harm. I don’t want to understand. But I can create a visualization in which I see them encased in a sphere that simply sends back to them the negative energy they send out. They self-destruct. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on the bad guys, I would rather focus my attention on supporting those who are consciously ready to actively heal themselves, raise their consciousness, and participate in the interconnected web of life in a positive, powerful, and collaborative way. 

That would eliminate some worry – if we only focus on the good guys and how we can do more good. 

In my shamanic journeys I set up a transformative sphere around myself. (The Transformative Sphere). It protects me from anything destructive that comes toward me while I am in that inner world. Because it is a transforming sphere it also transforms my own worries and concerns while I’m in it so that I have less fear, less apprehension. I can then spend time encouraging and cultivating a vibration that nourishes and expands my awareness of the wholeness we are. 

=== DEEPER SONG PHILOSOPHIES ===

I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument
while the song I came to sing remains unsung.

 – Rabindranath Tagore

Do you spend all your time getting ready rather than doing? Are you so busy preparing that you never step forth and do the work? Are you spending so much time stringing and unstringing your instrument that you get nothing done?

Just begin. Take a step. And then another. Explore. Taken action. Check the result. Made changes. Try something new. Repeat. Start playing your song. It will be perfect.

I have a new project. I’m not sure if it’s for me or if it’s for us. It’s the Deeper Song Calendar. I am building it on astrology which bases the focus for the days of the week on the planet that is overseeing it. And I am working with my deep love of quotes that have been meaningful in my life. I may just share it as I go along and hopefully get to the point where it’s one big offering but I want to use it to consciously focus my intention each day. It is a work in progress and it is unfolding.

Death is not extinguishing the light,

===CARA’S CORNER===

My New Path

I do need to find out from my guides what I am to be doing now and receive any messages of guidance they choose to give me at this point in time. The core messages was: Allow yourself to be taken to new realms of possibility and work from there.

I will stay open to nudges from the universe, unexpected insights that appear in my mind, and stay open to unexpected interpretations of the unfolding of the planet, its population and its existence. The key is to stay open. 

I have no plan. I’m just going to be open to whatever thoughts show up and explore them in whatever direction I am called to take. 

That’s all I know at this point – rise above the chaos of the planet and find serene guidance there that I can share with you. Let’s see where it takes us. Let’s see what kind of adventure unfolds. I’m game. Are you? 

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

The Explorer

I trust. I trust the nudges. I trust the insights. I trust the unexpected circumstances. I allow myself to be guided by the unseen world. 

I trust. I trust the nudges. I trust the insights. I trust the unexpected circumstances. I allow myself to be guided by the unseen world. It is a higher journey I go on now. I’m not even sure what I’m looking for, but I will know it when I experience it. And I will bring it back for us. 

I trust. I trust the nudges. I trust the insights. I trust the unexpected circumstances. I allow myself to be guided by the unseen world. It is a higher journey I go on now. I’m not even sure what I’m looking for, but I will know it when I experience it. And I will bring it back for us. I release all preconceptions of what is possible. I do whatever needs to be done, and I open my heart and my mind to the unexpected. I am guided by what shows up.

 Release the Old Paradigm

Release the Old Paradigm

Living Our Deeper Song

Ashe

(“Ah-Shay”)

 The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

We have been living in a patriarchal society for many centuries. No wonder the emerging feminine needs to come on with the strength of a warrior. It has been a world of capitalization, patriarchy and colonization. It is a language the masculine understands. 

It is time to move out of that paradigm. It will be hard for the masculine to accept and challenging for the feminine to define and establish her role. It is about all of us, male and female, releasing the old and creating an inclusive and empowering new world. 

If you are anything other than a prosperous white male, you will feel left out. When I look back at my early formal religious life, I remember that God is perceived as male. That lets me out. When I got divorced, I had no credit rating because all the money was in my husband’s name. I had no employment record even though I ran a big house and raised four children.

It was very freeing when I went off to New York City and followed my own passion and spiritual path. I found my own voice and expressed it with enthusiasm.  

Whatever age we are in, whatever gender we are, this is a time for introspection, releasing, and major change in our belief system, and our expectations of each other, both male and female. 

As we move into this new paradigm, we must open our hearts and change how we perceive our personal role in the unfolding of this new world pattern.  

Our existence is beyond our human expression. Ask yourself, “What is my existence beyond what I see?” Then listen to the feelings and emotions and unspoken concepts that show up. 

We are one energy and when we understand and experience that, there is great power and deep inner peace. We are all one energy – no division, no male, no female, only one. No animal, no land, no ocean, no sky. No separateness. Only one all-encompassing energy.

How do I manifest this shift? By releasing my feelings of separateness, and embracing an awareness of our shared energy, our collective consciousness. Experience yourself as the all-encompassing energy of the universe. 

Everything we do is important. Every thought we think, every act we take, has deep and far-reaching impact because we are all one energy. We must be aware. And we must choose carefully. We have a responsibility as part of this unfolding cycle of oneness to choose for the highest good for all. 

What is possible beyond what we can see right now? What potential is waiting to be recognized and released? In the midst of this chaos, understand that we are one energy and each of us has an impact on the whole. Monitor your beliefs. Aim high. Choose wisely.  Keep your thoughts and actions focused on the greater good for all and travel the higher road with an open heart.

So much is possible that we cannot see. We must trust. We must be observant and aware. And we must respond from the strongest sense of unity and oneness that we can manage.

Release and heal old paradigms of capitalization, patriarchy and colonization. Confront the wounding that has made us see ourselves as separate from Spirit.  Let us work together to create a new world of inclusion, equality and love.

  • Share what you discover with those around you and with me…

===INNER WORK===

Deepen Your Inner Awareness

Find And Honor Your Own Rhythm

It’s hard to find your own rhythm when you are in a relationship or in a job that has specific demands or while raising children who need you. I live alone, I do not work for anyone else, and what I choose to do is totally up to me. I can sleep when I want to, play when I want to, and work when I want to. I just have to tune in to my own rhythm and honor it. I am responsible for my own choices and the outcome they produce.

Do you give yourself space to hear your own nudges? Do you give yourself time to explore what shows up? Do you pay attention to where you are on your own priority list? Your self-care? The exploration of your gifts? Your needs? We are the only ones to truly provide for ourselves and we must continue to be aware of our own intuitive nudges and take time to explore them.

Explore and experiment until you find your own rhythm, then honor it in how you live your life.

Stay In The Present Moment

I’m still spending too much time in the “could be – what if” facet of my life. Now that I have figured out the mechanics of this eventual move, I need to stop thinking about it because I’m only making stuff up about aspects I don’t know yet. 

How much time do you waste thinking about the what-if’s? What is not yet here? What may never happen? We have this beautiful, gorgeous, sacred moment in which to be fully present. 

Whether I sit here and feel my heartbeat or close my eyes and experience the energy around me, those are much better uses of my time than making stuff up about the future that isn’t here yet. How present are you during your day? 

Become aware of those times your mind wanders off and make certain you pull it back into experiencing the sacredness and gift of each moment. Stay present in your life. 

===SELF-HEALING===

Take Responsibility for Healing Yourself

The Power of Gratitude

I sometimes forget to be grateful for the many blessings I have in my life currently and the many blessings I have received along my path. I want to change that. I’m going to add more moments of gratitude into my spiritual practice, and at the end of my day, and take time to look back over the gifts I received, the doors that opened for me, the new insights that deepened my awareness. I actually have a little song I made up that I sing before sleep: “Day is over, night has come, please watch over me. Renew, restore, replace, refresh, make me a better me.”

Even when something is not working out exactly the way you want it to, look closely at what you can be grateful for. I need to be in gratitude for a safe, caring place to go to in assisted-living even though the space is small and I’m having a hard time adjusting to the idea. And it’s not even time yet. 

Stay in the moment. Look for the small gifts of the day. Thank the universe for them. Gratitude is a very powerful way to deepen your awareness of how you are being supported by the universe.

Heal Yourself

All of our choices have a great impact on our body – our physical body, our emotional body and our spiritual body. Who we spend time with, how we spend time, affects what we experience, what we create for ourselves. Every choice we make affects and impacts some part of our human existence. Self-healing begins with monitoring where you are focusing your attention. And what you believe is possible.

Changing our beliefs around what is possible can be sometimes challenging. According to Western medicine, the dry macular degeneration I have is not curable. I’m not sure what to do with that. 

Maybe I can stand up straight again and maybe I can’t. I’ll never know until I try, until I work at it. It’s like training for a competition. I should be walking the halls more to strengthen my body but it’s a bit challenging, I don’t really like to do it, and I’m not doing it as frequently as I should. But I could practice my Qigong longer because I do like to do that. 

What you decide to do will depend on what you want to accomplish. For instance, I want to keep writing so I’m going to keep exploring how to make that happen. I will get someone to help me with posting this newsletter if I can’t see to do it. I already dictate and work in a very large font. Get creative with the ideas you develop for the problems you perceive. And don’t give up hope.

We’re back to that cornerstone belief that you get what you believe you deserve and what you believe is possible. Check out your belief system and see what you need to change. 

Qigong to Heal All Your Joints

I was actually looking for a video of the Qigong shaking exercise to share with you when I found a lovely video on usingQigong to Heal Your Joints by Steven Washington.  It is easy to do and feels really good. Check it out online and add it to your spiritual practice.

Explore New Potential and Possibilities

Create Your Own Power Circle

Did you ever have an accountability partner? You set some goals and then check in with each other on a regular basis to report how you’re doing. You can create a supportive circle around any objective, any purpose, any task. Your circle can be large or small but the objective is to gather around a topic that everyone wants to explore.

These can take the form of individual conversations or group conversations. They can be structured or organic. You can take turns leading when you get together. You can each offer different lessons and insights. The group helps you expand your understanding of a topic and how to apply it in your life. Do you want or need to form a group around a specific topic? Just do it. It begins with one other person. 

Your Language Shapes Your Life

“I can’t” is one of the biggest saboteurs of a positive life experience. As things get more challenging physically for me, I have to really watch the affirmations I give myself for they are determining my experience and the outcome. 

How are you allowing your body to shut down simply by the affirmation “I can’t” or “It’s hard”? I’m not sure I can go as far as to say “It’s easy” but I can say, “I can do this”.  Even better is “I can do this easily and effortlessly.” I can give myself those affirmations.

Take a close look at your belief system, particularly around your aging process and begin focusing on what you do achieve.  Focus on what you can do and rejoice. Thank your body each day and continue to ask a little more of your physical self.  Your language shapes your life. What are you telling yourself? 

Change Your Learning Style

I’m a visual learner and I’m losing my eyesight. I have to make some adjustments to what I think I can do. I’m a note-taker. Currently I’m writing things down so I will remember what I think I need to remember. But my writing is so bad I can’t read what I have written! 

Audio is a whole new way of learning for me to explore and master. I have to trust I will remember what I need to remember. I still want to write down ideas that I will turn and write about in this newsletter but surely I can make my notes readable when I do choose to write them.

This is nearly 90 years of visual learning that I have to shift. All I know to do is to pick simple things to listen to so I don’t have the urge to take notes. I have to be willing to let go of everything I listen to in case I can’t remember it. This is an experiment. A work in progress. How do you change learning styles? And why do you need to? 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Self-Healing Spiritual Practice and Deepening Awareness of Our Cosmic Oneness

How Thoughtfully Do You Use Time?

I do not use time well. There are huge chunks of time that are spent in mindless activities that do nothing to enhance my life experience. I know we cannot be intensely engaged at all times. My downtime choices are really useless and that’s a waste of time. 

I’m not sure what to do about it. I love to learn but I can’t do that the entire day. That’s too intense. Too demanding. I love writing, but again in moderation. 

There is a huge chunk of time that I am not using well. I use time trying to learn and share or deepen my spiritual experience. And the rest I do not use very well. I seem to move from deep metal stimulation to total numbness in my mind.

How do you use your time? If you have a job, what do you do with the precious moments that are left? If you are home, do you have some projects you enjoy?  Take time to find activities that will make you feel useful and keep you mentally and emotionally and socially engaged. What do you do to bring balance to how you spend time? 

===GUIDANCE FROM OUR COSMIC COUNSELORS ===

Listen Beyond the Voice Within 

Opposing Forces

I seek the Cosmic Counselors because I am distressed over the violent opposing ideology that is emerging in the world. I go to my Sacred Garden and there across the reflecting pool are my three Classic Counselors. They sit in a circle. In the center of the circle, floating in the air, is our planet. They hold their hands facing it as it rotates. They are healing it. 

We are each an inhabitant of this planet. There is one planet and we are responsible for its well-being. If we turn and focus on protecting our planet, we will unite our efforts. If we focus on our own small lives we will self-destruct.

“Choose the overarching good for all” comes the message over the reflecting pond – the over-arching good for all. We are on the same team, working to heal ourselves and our planet. 

Not everyone can shift their gaze away from their own personal issues to focus on the unifying concept of one planet that we must all take care of. There is a growing number of thoughtful humans focusing on the greater good. The majority of the world exists in several levels of survival. Most are focused on their own individual existence. 

“What are we to do?” I ask, because the Cosmic Counselors are still focused on the revolving planet between them. “Do the work” comes to mind.

I understand. The work is to hold High Watch for the planet. It is to energetically support and encourage those who are walking the higher path and working for the highest good for all. My work is energetic. But if I were younger, I might have engaged more on the physical plane.

Are you working for the highest good for our entire planet? We have to think big because it’s a really big planet and it’s in really big trouble. What role has just been identified for you with the Cosmic Counselors? Will you fill it? 

The light begins to glow from the heart of the revolving planet between the three Cosmic Counselors, who are all women by the way, and I understand. I must hold onto the planet in my heart. I am to hold the people on the planet in my heart. Hold all the inhabitants on land and sea and air in my heart. 

The revolving planet between the three Cosmic Counselors begins to light up from within. The emerging light transforms it as a low humming sound emerges.

The healing begins in our hearts. It begins in the experience of the human being living on this planet at this particular time for a particular purpose.  

What is the music of your purpose? What song are you to sing?  How will you know?

I sit on the bench beside my reflecting pool and my carillon, my indigo bell-tower, chimes and send this message to all those who are listening. 

What is your role in preserving our planet and its inhabitants? Get to work.

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGS===

Expand Our Role in the Rapidly Evolving Universe

What You Focus On You Get

Where are you looking and what is it drawing to you? This is a huge metaphysical principle we need to understand and utilize. We get what we focus on. We get what we expect. Changing our life is as simple as changing our expectations. 

Expect the best. Expect the perfect outcome. Expect it to be easy. Expect it to be perfect. And it will be. 

Notice what you expect and see what you believe you need to shift in order to change what you get. 

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

Raise Your Sights and Your Expectations 

The Power of the Collective Conscious

I get overwhelmed sometimes by the sheer number of people on the planet and the variety of approaches and beliefs and insights they bring to the human experience. I feel less than powerful when faced with the huge amount of imbalance in the belief systems in the world today. But we each have tremendous impact, particularly when we choose to consciously focus our attention for the highest good for all. 

Thoughts create our reality. So as we move through our life, as we move through our day, we must monitor our thoughts and our expectations, our impact, and what we think is possible. We must make sure we expect the highest good for all.  We must believe in our own individual power to affect the collective consciousness. In so doing, we join with others who hold the same high vision. Together we have great power. 

Keep the faith. Keep a clear vision and trust the power of keeping ourselves attuned to and immersed in the highest consciousness. 

Collectively we can change the world.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Support and Encouragement for our Unfolding Role in the Future

What If You Lost Everything?

The news is filled with the destruction of hurricanes and stories of people who have lost absolutely everything. Nothing is left. What would you do? How would you feel? 

My very small example is the downsizing that I am moving through as I let things go. Sometimes I have to hold on to something just a little bit longer even though I know I cannot take that particular thing with me. But I’m choosing. And I have time to get used to my options. A hurricane just takes whatever it takes. 

How attached are you to personal possessions? How resilient are you in the face of losing the security of a home or the destruction of your business? We have to know and believe that we can handle whatever we are given. Then we get to become very, very creative in order to walk on the new path that opens up. Just know that you will be capable of handling any challenge that you are given.

===CARA’S CORNER===

Changing a Habit

I have never been particularly good with money. But I’m going to have to change my ways because this assisted living will take a majority of my Medicare money and give me a small amount. My money will cover my place to live and my food but I will not be able to buy very much. Which is a good thing actually. 

I have begun to monitor my impulses and encourage myself not to buy something that someone who is downsizing a lot really doesn’t need. Buying anything more is a very unwise choice.

Why do we buy things? If you were in the habit of spending a lot of money, you might want to look at the “why” behind that one more closely. 

Do you have a need to change your spending habits and if so what steps will you take?

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

Control An Impulse

I will control my impulses by examining what lies behind then.

I will control my impulses by examining what lies behind then. I will find a substitute for what I need among the things I already have.

I will control my impulses by examining what lies behind then. I will find a substitute for what I need among the things I already have.I choose to simplify my needs and desires and find contentment in simplicity.

How Does A Tree Know When To Drop Its Leaves?

How Does A Tree Know When To Drop Its Leaves?

Living Our Deeper Song

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

The Weeping Birch tree outside my window recently began to drop her leaves. How does she know it is time? Is it marked on her calendar? Is it simply the subtle changes in the weather? 

How do we know when it’s time to let go of something, to release it, to let it fall to the ground and be left behind?

I can see more sky as leaves fall to the ground in golden showers. I like that because I like the shape-shifting clouds. Letting go offers a new view. 

If I were a tree with acorns, I would release them and they would be gathered and stored and later used to nourish a squirrel in the middle of winter. By releasing my gift, it would keep on giving. 

When is it a time for withdrawing in order to restore and replenish in preparation for a new season? A great deal happens when we let go of our leaves.

We can let go at any point in our life and at any stage in a cycle. What kind of inner wisdom do you call upon to let you know when it is time to let go – to leave something behind? And when you do, what can you see more clearly? 

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I easily and effortlessly let go of patterns that no longer serve me.
I rest and restore and make room for new growth. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Go within and see what you need to let go.
  • Release it and study the new view it reveals.
  • Notice what new insights show up in the space that opens up.
  • Go exploring.

===INNER WORK===

Deepen Your Inner Awareness

Intuitive Planning

When you listen to your inner guidance, it will lead you to your next step on the path you are to explore. Pay attention to those nudges and hunches. They are your inner voice guiding you. 

Then go exploring. Visualize. Can you imagine walking down that path? See how it feels and notice what opens up for you to consider. Make your decisions based on what you discover. Follow your intuition. It will take you where you need to go next. 

===SELF-HEALING===

Take Responsibility for Healing Yourself

The Healing Power of Music

I have listened to and performed music all my life. I sang alto in the high school girls’ trio and girls’ quartets. I took voice lessons at the local college and sang in the chorus of their production of Bizet’s opera Carmen. I went through periods of liking Carol King and Rob McKuen and Peter, Paul and Mary. For about 10 years I listened to nothing but classical music. 

You can listen to all sorts of music on your television. During my day I often listen to light classical music and take great pleasure in listening to the range of instruments and the power of their individual sounds as well as the incredible harmony and emoting they produce.

Music reaches deep within. It changes our vibration. It changes our intention. It changes our expectations.

Where does sound fit into your life? How does it affect you and how can you go exploring more broadly? 

Optimism and Longevity

Japan recently broke another record for having even more centenarians.

Work ethic, a seafood-rich diet, deep family ties, and now improving medical technology are elongating the lives of the longest-living people on earth who are yet further defying perceived limits on the human body, mind, and spirit.

Optimistic men have a better shot at living a less-stressful, healthy life. Now I’m not a man but I sure can be optimistic. 

Optimistic means to be hopeful and confident about the future. Hopeful is pretty easy, confident may take some practice. How do you feel about your future? Is there a difference between how you feel about your immediate future and your future future? How do you approach each day? Is it with optimism and gratitude and high expectations? Or is it with dread and uncertainty? You are the captain of your emotional vehicle. And you can make those choices. When you move into conscious gratitude, you become more aware of the positive aspects of your life. Begin to be more aware of what is working physically, mentally, and emotionally. Be grateful for the positive forward steps that you take. 

I will tell you from experience it gets a little trickier as you age and stuff starts not working so well. But I am in control of my expectations. So not only do I practice coming from a place of gratitude but I keep looking for the positive aspects that keep showing up in my life. Stay optimistic and enjoy a longer life.

===OUTERWORK===

Explore New Potential and Possibilities

Where Do You Find Like-Minded Friends?

The more eclectic your interests, the further afield you have to go to find people who share your excitement. I think we begin with one interest at a time to develop our tribe around it. For instance, when I became a Reiki Master Teacher over three or four years in New York City in the 80’s, other Reiki students were my friends. And the more advanced my studies became, the narrower became the field of people who were interested in the same depth that I was. 

That was also true when I became a practitioner in the Center for Spiritual Living. Again, the more deeply I delved into the work, the more advanced were the people I was drawn to hang out with because our interests were similar. 

 Five years ago in a shamanic class with Sandra Ingerman, I was paired with my friend Martha (Minnesota) and we have talked nearly every week for five years. Even though we each have other interests that we are developing, we have a strong core interest in the metaphysical and our spirituality and we remain close friends. I met another close friend, Thuy, (France) when we were both students in the same class. Christina, (California) another good friend I speak with regularly I actually know in person from when I lived in California. And another friend, PJ, (Colorado) reached out to me because excerpts from one my books “Getting Your Feet Wet in Science of Mind” is on the websites of many Center for Spiritual Living Churches. Noralee (Canada) proofreads this newsletter and always sends me encouraging words along with the corrections. I periodically get emails from other followers of this newsletter.  I love that I am connected with people all over the planet. 

But that’s a very small group of people to interact with on a regular basis to explore my specific interests. I share slightly different interests with each of them.

I have taken a lot of classes on the Shift Network and they have Facebook groups in which I have found like-minded people on a particular topic. My suggestion is to follow a topic that calls to you and see what friends you find with similar interests.

For those of you in the Deeper Song Explorers! perhaps we can each share our favorite topics and teachers along with a link. 

Do You Have A Vision Board?

I haven’t made a vision board in years and as I approach 90, it feels like a strange thing to be doing. But it’s a good idea and now we can do it digitally and have access to some fabulous pictures. 

You can have areas on your vision board like “relationships” and “career” or you can just start with what you want in your life and find graphic representations for your vision board. 

What do you envision in your life? Make a vision board to help it manifest.

Look for A Creative Alternate Solution

One of the most helpful things my daughter Cathy has said to me recently is that I’m not the only one with a particular problem. With that in mind, I put inquiries out to the manager of this senior complex and the Social Security Director to see if there is a transportation company that would bring a wheelchair, put me in it, put me in the back of a van, take me to my eye doctor appointment and bring me back. And I found it. You don’t just stop needing things because you can’t move very well. 

What do you need in your life that you can find creative ways to get help with? Maybe there’s a special need that you want to build a business around that you can offer. Get creative as your needs change. 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Self-Healing Spiritual Practice and Deepening Awareness of Our Cosmic Oneness

An Altar Turns Your Space Into Sacred Space

As I continue to contemplate the pending downsizing, creating altar space has been first on my list. Without it there’s not much point to my life. It could be space in a bookcase or a table. I once had an altar on the floor. It could be an arrangement outside your window. Create sacred space and work with it, mentally be in it, and spend time with it every single day. 

I continue to rethink what I need and want to choose for the smaller space that awaits me. What ceremonies do you perform? Does it involve music or chanting or drumming or movement?

I use instruments to sing and play to the directions every day. I have a collection of special crystals to talk to and hold every day. I might begin to add an intentional element to my alter and work with that to manifest what I want in my life. 

Periodically changing and rearranging the elements of your altar could meaningfully deepen your spiritual practice. It will shift your focus and let you deepen different aspects of your spiritual practice.

Spend some time rethinking and rearranging your alter space and the ceremonies you choose to bring to it. Then notice what changes in your life experience. 

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGS===

Expand Our Role in the Rapidly Evolving Universe

Is There a Past Mistake You Need to Heal?

We all have things in our life that we wish we had done differently. I’m not suggesting you dwell on what choices you made along the line, but are there any past actions you might do differently if they occurred today? 

What comes to mind specifically is a personal interaction with another person that you could’ve handled better. In my case, those mistakes were usually because of my lack of awareness. Maybe you write that person a note and reestablish contact. Maybe you call them up. Maybe you just forgive yourself in your mind. A mistake is not intentional, it is one step taken in a particular moment for a variety of reasons. Sometimes you wish you hadn’t done it. Sometimes it was a happy mistake and worked out well. In your life are there any interactions that you wish to apologize for? Or, as you look at how it played out, you may find out it was not as big a deal to the other person as it was to you and you can actively forgive yourself.

This introspection is not intended to blame, it is to create an awareness that helps us not make the same mistake again. Our choices were made out of what we had to offer in that particular moment. Our awareness in particular, is a foundational cause of our choices. We are either aware of what we’re doing or are in a situation in which we are not very aware. We make our choices based on what we understand in the moment. Sometimes that awareness is more on target than others.

Learn from your less-than-stellar choices of the past. Try not to repeat it. 

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Support and Encouragement for our Unfolding Role in the Future

What Brings Meaning To Your Life?

We get what we focus on. What aspects of your life are important to you, or nurturing to you and what do you do to encourage them, to cultivate them? 

My mind is important to me. It helps me learn. It helps me experience. I cultivate it in many ways. My spiritual practice is important to me. It has many aspects and I continue to explore there too. 

What aspects of your life do you value and how will you expand them? Identify and explore and find the things that bring meaning to your life and do more of them. 

======THE UNFOLDING DIVINE FEMININE=== ===

Explore and Interpret the Guidance and Messages of the Divine Feminine

The Masculine In Religion 

It wasn’t until I listened to the Episcopal service for Queen Elizabeth that I remembered how predominate the masculine energy is in man religions. I guess I’m pretty far into this concept of the rising feminine. 

I was brought up in an era when women didn’t go to college, they just got married and had kids. But I did go to college. I even got a Master’s Degree in my 40’s and I did go off and make my own professional life.

When I got divorced, I could not get a credit card in my own name because everything was in my husband’s name. A gas credit card was the break I needed to begin to establish my own credit. But I had no work history to add to it. It’s been a long road.

Women today are brought up to believe they can be independent. And young women are the ones calling for major change today. 

So here we are in an era where women are standing strong and yet we do not earn the same amount of money for the same job as men do.

I’m no longer around any young people but I know one granddaughter has two children and is making major money while working from home. 

“These times they are a changin” (Bob Dylan) and that’s a good thing.

These Times They Are A Changin

Bob Dylan 1964

Come gather ’round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You’ll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin’

And you better start swimmin’

Or you’ll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin’

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won’t come again

And don’t speak too soon

For the wheel’s still in spin

And there’s no tellin’ who

That it’s namin’

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin’

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don’t stand in the doorway

Don’t block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

The battle outside ragin’

Will soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don’t criticize

What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin’

Please get out of the new one

If you can’t lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin’

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin’

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin’

That was nearly 60 years ago!

===CARA’S CORNER===

Make Better Choices

What my life looks like and feels like is because of the choices I have made and continue to make. Therefore, all change is up to me. Some of my choices are very conscious. Some are rather unconscious. I need to check both out to make certain they are what I want and are taking me where I want my life to go.

For instance, I know that I need to add more movement to my life. That’s a given. So my choices becomes what form that takes. Then the choice becomes how willing I am to extend myself, as in do more or do it longer or do it differently. Of what am I willing to let go?  How am I willing to change? 

I need to stop thinking about the future because it’s not here, it is still unfolding, and I’m only guessing at parts of it. That is a waste of my time in this present moment. Be present. Notice what you are creating and what those choices are creating for you to consider. Give long thought to how you would like your life to be different and what steps you could take to make that happen. Then do those.

My choices include staying in the present. Doing physical stretching at my kitchen sink, standing up to do some of the Qigong even if I’m hanging onto my walker. And do Qigong at least three times a day. There are podcasts that I want to listen to. I want to listen to less news and check out at least one audiobook to see how I like listening instead of reading. That’s a pretty good list. 

I can go exploring. I may discover new opportunities that will change the results I’m getting today. What new choices will you make today? And what happens when you do?

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

Change Your Choices

The choices are mine and I can change them.

The choices are mine and I can change them. I can look up instead of down. I can do it or not do it. When I choose, I must observe the results and let that guide my next choice.

The choices are mine and I can change them. I can lookup instead of down. I can do it or not do it. When I choose, I must observe the results and let that guide my next choice. It’s all up to me in every moment. I make choices that lift me up.

What Do You See When You Look Into The Future?

What Do You See When You Look Into The Future?

Living Our Deeper Song

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

What you see when you look ahead depends on where you are in your life. What age you are, how many years you think you have left, what stage of life experience you are in. Wherever you are is perfect. It’s a perfect place for you to learn. It’s a perfect place for you to act. It’s a perfect place for you to be. Because there is always more for you to do. 

It gives me satisfaction to look back over the past and see how I’ve walked my life path so far. As I near 90 and get ready to move into assisted living, I have to work harder at seeing a creative, productive, meaningful future. But I can do it. It just looks different than in other years.

Tune inward and ask your inner wisdom for some guidance, some support, some insights on your journey and what you are to accomplish next.

My next mission has to do with helping those of us who are aware to keep raising our consciousness in order to lift this planet out of the chaos it is in. I have no idea what the New Earth is going to look like. I just know I have the skill set and the energy practices to continue to move into this elevated way of being and share my discoveries.

Joe Dispenza teaches an exercise in which you travel 10 years into the future to see your future dself. When I do that, my Future Self is doing jumping jacks! Now I haven’t done a jumping jack in a lot of years and certainly can’t do them now, so I guess I’m going to learn how to do jumping jacks in the next 10 years. Or be able to. There is an interesting shaking Qigong exercise I know how to do right now that’s a rather odd version of jumping jacks. 

I’m not as big on prophesying ahead as much as understanding my current path and making certain that I continue to explore the side trails as well as walk a continually higher path of life. That’s the image I carry. I’m always walking uphill in the light. And raising my awareness as I go. What do you see when you look into the future? 

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I continue to expand my vision for my potential and what I expect is possible. I raise my sights and follow that path.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

Lessons From the Element of Water

Each of the elements teach us a lesson. For instance, water takes many forms, it is a gifted shapeshifter. It adapts to its environment. That’s a good quality to cultivate. Changing to rise to the occasion and being flexible and adaptable are key to both self-cultivation and making dramatic changes. Water can seep into the ground and bring life back or it can overflow the landscape and take away features forever. 

How will you invite water to work with you today? Will you let it gently explore and nurture and replenish? How do the qualities of the element of water need to appear in your life to rearrange things, change the landscape to find entirely new paths? Let the qualities of the element of water nurture you and take you on a new adventure. Explore the element of water in your life and notice the changes that are created. Let it help you create your own unique path.

Trust the Unfolding

You can make all the plans you want, but in the end you simply have to trust the process. Things will show up when they show up. You will respond however you respond in that moment. It may or may not look like what you thought it would. 

We get to stay in the moment and choose from where we are in the moment and what opportunity shows up.

How do you prepare for this surprise opportunity? You develop a strong sense of your values. You develop a strong sense of your gifts. And then you stay open and with the help of your inner voice, consider the nudges and opportunities that show up. Trust the Universe to provide much more than you ever dreamed about. 

A friend of mine in France was recently contacted by a manager in a company about a job and the match was so wonderful, it opened the doors for both of them. He saw a deep potential in her and he’s actually going to create a project around her skill set.  She saw the possibility of being in a new environment and working more from home – all the things she wanted.  It showed up and she recognized it as an opportunity she wants and will take. 

You never know how the new door will be opened. Stay open to the unexpected and go exploring. Be prepared to change directions in the moment. To try something new, to jump over hurdles and find a brand new path. Trust the universe to point the way.

Let Go

Lay the groundwork and then let go and trust. I apologize for sharing so much of my personal process around this impending downsizing move but it’s been hard for me and I have learned many lessons in the process. It’s time that I let go and trust. I am prepared, I do not know the timing, so now I get to let go, trust the unfolding and move forward. 

Are you belaboring an idea of something happening that hasn’t happened yet? Are you wasting time worrying or wondering about it? 

The big lesson I’m learning is to stay in the present moment. And trust. Trust you will be provided with what you need. Trust you will never be presented with more than you can handle. And trust that it will unfold in the perfect time in the perfect manner. Let go. Let it unfold. Trust the universe. All is well in your world.

Whatever is going on in your mind, change begins within. That impending change can be shaped by going within to make changes in your beliefs and expectations about how it will manifest.

We begin by looking at what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible. That’s how we create what unfolds. Change takes time or it doesn’t, but we have to allow time for change, make room for change, and see what happens, see what unfolds. 

Look at what you would like to change and choose a few shifts in your actions and your expectations and notice what happens. Keep experimenting. Do it until you manifest what you want. All change begins within. 

===OUTER  WORK===

Exploration of New Potential and Possibilities

How Do You Contribute?

There are many ways we make a difference in our world. Sometimes it is by our actions, often times it is merely by our thoughts and our intentions and the energy we send to unfolding situations and the well-being of others. Make a constant conscious choice to contribute. Spend some time each day sending energy to the world, the well-being of the planet or the healing of a situation – whatever calls to you. Make sending energy to the world part of your daily spiritual practice. Then turn around and do the work. 

Fall Equinox was September 22nd – What Are You Harvesting This Year?

I realize it’s not Fall Equinox in all parts of the world but these questions are good to ask yourself anytime.

What would you not change? 
What do you love about the situation as it stands now? 
How has it challenged you to grow? 
Create an Action Plan for one aspect of your life.

Here are my answers:
What would you not change? 
My intelligence, my creativity and my spiritual life.

What do you love about the situation as it stands now? 
Not too much. I am letting go of a lot of possessions and narrowing it down to the realization that there are two important aspects of my life – my creative learning process and sharing my spiritual exploration. That’s what I get to take with me in this move

How has it challenged you to grow?
I’ve been deeply challenged. I need physical help but the space is super small and I will have a roommate. This has not been a fun process to me.

Action Plan for one aspect of your life.
I will increase my physical activity. Longer Qigong sessions, stretches at the sink and more hall walking. I could do more meditation.

What are your answers?
(Idea from We’Moon News)

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Self-Healing Spiritual Practice and Deepening Awareness of Our Cosmic Oneness

Simple Changes, Large Impact

We periodically need to review our spiritual practice. We need to be willing to explore potential changes and the different outcomes we can create.

Take a close look at your spiritual practice. How would you change it? Are you simply repeating the same steps you always do? Are you staying longer on one aspect based of how you feel in the moment? For instance, I might play my flute longer one morning, then pull out my small djembe drum and play for a while. I might spend longer with one aspect of my Qigong practice to see how I feel when I do it more extensively. 

Choose an aspect of your spiritual practice and expand it and experiment with new versions of it. Add, subtract and rearrange each of the elements in your spiritual practice until you find a balance that feels good for right now. Then be willing to change it as you move forward. 

When you pay attention, when you allow yourself to deeply experience whatever form your spiritual practice takes, you will automatically choose to do more or less or do it differently. Immerse yourself in the experience, experiment with changes and noticed the results. Simple changes can have a large impact.

===GUIDANCE FROM OUR COSMIC COUNSELORS ===

Listening Beyond the Voice Within 

Cosmic Counselors, What Do I Need To Do Right Now?

I go to my Secret Garden and am immediately taken to the Misty Circle in the forest where sunlight shines through the canopy of giant trees. My three Cosmic Counselors are sitting in a circle watching a butterfly emerged from a cocoon. “This is where you are in the process of emerging into the new world. You are dissolving many aspects of your belief system and you are transforming into something new and beautiful with a different purpose. That purpose is to nurture, nurture the planet. Nurture its inhabitants because a new set of awarenesses, a new set of directions, are emerging.” 

I feel myself shifting into releasing what concerns me. I expand my awareness and make room for new unexpected change to occur. I am in a state of fluid change. That’s where we are on the planet right now, in a state of fluid change. Releasing. Reforming. Choosing an increasingly higher level of inclusiveness.  We are each part of the process. We each have our own role. We each have a different experience. When we focus on the highest good for all, we will take the right steps.

I return to my sacred secret garden. It is alive with butterflies moving to change the world.

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGs===

Expand Our Role in the Rapidly Evolving Universe

We Are Both Seekers and Change Makers

We have work to do as both Seekers and Change Makers. First we have to see the new vision, the new path, the evolving changes. Then we get to turn to show others how to join us. We will each have a different individual version of what we seek and then we will each turn in our own unique way and offer a pathway to change. 

Keep exploring. Keep making room for change. 

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

Raise Your Sights and Your Expectations 

Explore the Unfamiliar

How adventurous are you? Do you go exploring very often? Where do you go? In nature? Online to learn something new? Place yourself in a situation to meet new people? There are many ways to go exploring and it is important to keep expanding our boundaries. How else can we grow? How else can we learn? If you were to pick one less-than-familiar topic to explore what would that be? I’ve explored Taoism, Shamanism, Qigong and native flute and drum playing. What topics call to you and where will you go exploring next? 

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Support and Encouragement for our Unfolding Role in the Future

Our Choices Today Impact Our Future

In the United States we have an upcoming primary election in which what we choose will impact our future in ways we cannot even imagine. There’s a dark energy at work that can destroy everything around it. There is also an entirely different energy to choose from – the higher good for all. It makes us think beyond ourselves. It makes us think about how our choices impact all around us.  

Our choices today will impact our lives and the lives of our descendants – our children and grandchildren and beyond. It’s a major responsibility to make a choice for the future highest good for all of us and for our planet rather than a choice that is only good for us in the present moment.  We must raise our sights and take responsibility for the future through the choices we make in the present moment.

Our choices of today have a long-reaching impact. Think beyond the present moment when you choose.

===CARA’S CORNER===

Face Your Future with Loving Expectation

Future is an odd concept when you are nearing 90. However long it is, it’s up to me to constructively use every single moment of the time I have been given. I can’t do that if I worry about the future. I need to stay in the present moment. I need to keep exploring both spiritually and mentally. Do you need to release all the fancied expectations and completely live is the present moment? We must make the most of what we have. When we stay in the present moment, the future will unfold perfectly. 

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

All I Have Is Now

There is no tomorrow. There’s only today, the present moment, right now. That’s the gift I have been given – the present moment.

There is no tomorrow. There’s only today, the present moment, right now. That’s the gift I have been given – the present moment. I will not fill it with would-of’s and could-of’s and should-of’s.  What I have is the present moment to fill with thoughtful awareness, and heart-felt aware choices.

There is no tomorrow. There’s only today, the present moment, right now. That’s the gift I have been given – the present moment. I will not fill it with would-of ’s and could-of’s and should-of’s.  What I have is the present moment to fill with thoughtful awareness, and heart-felt aware choices. I live is the present moment in embrace of wholeness. All is well in my world.

Prepare, Let Go and Trust

Living Our Deeper Song

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

It was like turning off the faucet of worry. I had done all I could do as far as releasing physical things to make room for my move into a smaller space. The space will not open up for some months because there is a waiting list. I had prepared and planned and then I let go of it all. I trusted that my visioning work, my planning, my intention to be assigned a particular space size to accommodate my large screen monitor would manifest. I have done everything I know to prepare and it is now time to let go and simply trust. 

What a relief. I have no control over the timing but I am as ready as I need to be at this point in time. So I get to move on. Yeah.

At the same time, almost within the space of a few hours, a new focus of exploration showed up, the condo of the Cosmic Counselors, and I have joyfully and energetically immersed myself in exploring that concept and its guidance.  

Do the prep work. Do not move into worry over what the universe has to do. Trust the outcome. It’s a lesson we get to practice over and over in our lives. Do your part, then release and trust the process.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I prepare for my next step and then I release, let go, and trust.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Do the work. Get as ready as you can. Then let go and trust the perfect outcome will unfold.
  • Look around at what has opened up for you to do next. Do that. It will all unfold in the perfect time.

===INNER WORK===

Deepen Your Inner Awareness

Who You Are Is The Sum of All The Choices You Have Made

We make our choices based on who we are in the moment that we make the choice. It is the sum of where our thinking is. It is the sum of how we feel about ourselves. It is the sum of influence from other people. It is a sum of what we are aware of or know of. 

All of those aspects are constantly changing, expanding, moving forward. I might make one choice in the morning and then make a different choice in the afternoon because my awareness has shifted. Our life unfolds according to our choices. We are responsible for what unfolds and we must trust that the outcome is perfect for where we are in our life right now. 

I don’t regret any of my choices and I’ve made some odd and impactful ones. I cannot change those choices that were made out of not knowing, of not being aware. I love my intuition and I follow it willingly and trustingly. 

Trust the unfolding process. Who you are is the sum of all the choices you have made and it is all perfect just the way it is. 

Where Does Your Guidance Come From and How Do You Recognize It? 

It can be a hunch, a knowing or a circumstance. Where does your guidance come from and how do you recognize it? 

My inner voice is very clear and can be fairly wordy. Sometimes it comes with a tremendously strong sense of urgency in knowing that I need to explore a particular concept and probably write about it in order to understand it.  

Sometimes it’s a circumstance that leads to some great “aha” moment when you recognize the door opening to a new path to explore and new choices to make. And sometimes it’s as easy as a phrase that comes floating into some conversation that makes you turn in an entirely new direction.

Pay attention. Learn to recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle nudges of the universe as it opens doors and guides you to new adventures. Where does your guidance come from? How do you recognize it? Come, let’s go exploring.

Finding An Answer

I love it when I find a new resource. On the second interview I listened to on the Shift Network Shamanic Summit I found Michael Meade (mosaicvoices.org) who gave me the answers I have been looking for about how I am to work with and respond to the dramatic changes that are going on in the planet both in nature and its population.  What a relief when a new path opens up new possibilities for you to explore. 

Nature is always about evolution and that’s what is happening. We are evolving. We are opening the door to the new and we are leaving behind old ways and expectations. We are evolving. 

It is comforting for me to know that all this chaos is simply a group process, a changing of direction process, an evolution. I can do change, for that’s what we’re being asked to do. We are to examine and reevaluate and re-choose so that we can climb higher and have a broader view. Let go of the expectations you’ve been holding onto and immerse yourself entirely in a new way of being and doing. The adventure has begun. Let’s go exploring and see what unfolds. 

===SELF-HEALING===

Take Responsibility for Self-Healing

The Power of Affirmations

We get what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible. Affirmations work. What are you telling yourself either consciously or unconsciously about the success of your path or your role in the world? Monitor it. Be sure it’s positive. Be sure it’s what you want.

“I am whole, perfect, and complete” is a good place to begin. 

“I recognize my perfect path and step boldly on it.”

Notice how you are talking to yourself and keep the conscious and unconscious affirmations positive and supportive.

What You Need to Leave Behind

For the thirteen years I have lived here I have had a small garden outside my window along with a flat water dish for the birds and squirrels. Because of my impending move I had to give them up. It was with great sadness that I ended my years of gardening.  I cried. How do you say goodbye to a part of your life? Do you release it with gratitude for its years of being in life? Do you release it with sadness because it will no longer be? I’m sure it’s an individual response depending on what you are releasing and what you feel about it.

I have two small plants, a heart-shaped philodendron and a two-toned plant I don’t know the name of. I’m not sure there will be room for them as I take another step on this next phase of my journey. 

What do you cherish? How are you down-sizing and how do you let it go completely? 

===OUTER  WORK===

Explore New Potential and Possibilities

Change the Form, Keep the Purpose

I have a great many life lessons as I continue to downsize before I move into a smaller space. Some of it is to change the form, some of it is repurposing. A key word is multipurpose.

I have turned a small bookcase into a combination TV stand, kitchen counter, dresser.

I discovered a tray that fits over my walker handles and that means I have a place to continue to use my tablet to play games. 

Think up, think multipurpose and creative uses. How can you modify your space in your life to use less but get the job done? 

Know what is important, Get creative. Question everything. And think outside the box. 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Self-Healing Spiritual Practice and Deepening Awareness of Our Cosmic Oneness

Who Are Your Teachers?

We have many teachers in our lifetime. Sometimes it’s a long relationship and sometimes the lesson happens in an instant. As we mature and expand our consciousness, we become more discerning. We search for particular teachers to learn from and we study with them for a long time or perhaps for just a lesson or two.

Who are the teachers in your life? I have some friends I speak with regularly who are always opening doors for me to explore. I learn online and many people have influenced me who have no idea they have done so. Sometimes the news reports an action taken by someone who might become my teacher and inspire me to take a new path. Keep your eyes open for instantaneous insights from all sources. When you find guidance and insight and inspiration, be sure you keep in touch with the teachers who are ready to help see you through your life. 

===GUIDANCE FROM OUR COSMIC COUNSELORS ===

Listen Beyond the Voice Within 

Let Go

A yellow leaf fell gently to the ground. Another followed. It was a signal from nature that is time to let go. 

We don’t even know we are hanging onto things. We don’t even know that we are stuck because we have crowded our space with concerns and thoughts and beliefs.  What do you need to release? What beliefs or expectations are holding you stuck in place? We need to periodically redefine our emerging gifts and our place of service. Flow with the stream of consciousness that moves you throughout your life. 

Is there something you are carrying you need to put down now? Is there a turn in the path you are on that you need to make? Life is fluid. Life is flowing. We are constantly changing our path and it is constantly opening up new opportunities.

What do you need to release now in order to make room for what is waiting to come in? 

Manifest a Positive Future

We create our reality out of our thoughts and choices of today. Expect the best. Do not settle for second-best. Be aware of where you are focusing in your intention and your beliefs. 

There are things about this move into assisted living that I am not pleased about and I’m working very hard to change my attitude into one of positive expectation. And there are some unknowns about it. But what I have right now in the present moment is the opportunity to think positive thoughts, create positive expectations, and send energy ahead for my own well-being. 

As I rearrange my belongings and give a lot away, I work to stay positive and optimistic about how my life is unfolding and what it will look like with this move. And I stay very grateful for each and every moment that I am still in the place that I really enjoyed with enough room but not quite enough help. 

Life is an ongoing series of unfolding cycles. Enjoy the ride. 

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGS===

Expand Your Role in the Rapidly Evolving Universe

Raise Your Gaze

As dramatic as the world news is today, we have work to do and we must raise our gaze. Instead of getting caught up in the drama and chaos and real evil in the world, our job is to walk the high road so others can raise their gaze and take a higher path.

Don’t allow yourself to be sucked into the chaos. Stay on the whole higher path and light the way.  

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

Raise Your Sights and Your Expectations 

Renew Your Cycle

The cycles of our life are always waxing and waning and we are in different stages in each of them. Each aspect of each on-going cycle asks you to take different actions, different steps, hold different awarenesses. If a cycle is in the waning mode, it is a time for replenishment, re-thinking and re-choosing. When a cycle is in the waxing phase, it is a time for action. You build from within and build on what you find around you. You take action. In both waxing and waning cycles, we must deepen our connection to our inner wisdom and guidance. Let your light build from within. Wherever you are in your cycles be present and increase the light within.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Support and Encouragement for our Unfolding Role in the Future

How To Walk the Fine Line Between Knowledge and Panic

The more horrifying the news, the harder I have to work at staying centered and focused. It’s tricky when you want to be informed, but do not want to be depressed. 

As so many extreme responses keep showing up in the world, I have to know in my heart we will not be given more than we can handle.  

I have to trust the process, the lessons that are unfolding and the choices for change that are being made.

I hold High Watch for the planet. I try to monitor the number of times I receive the same information of the impending chaos or danger. There’s a fine line between being informed and being overwhelmed when so many things are threatening our planet.

A friend recently said we will never be given more than we can handle but we do have a say in how we handle it and what we accept to consider. 

We can do a lot of work for the highest good and hold safe for the highest energy. I want to hold my own light high and walk the highest path I can manage. I am holding a higher vibration so others can look up and see and change course to join me just as I look to others for the same guide. 

Participate where you feel called, spend a lot of time keeping your vibration raised in invitation to others to continue to raise theirs. Keep your light on the highest vibration you can manage as you mindfully walk the fine line of positive expectation.

=== ===THE UNFOLDING DIVINE FEMININE=== ===

Explore and Interpret the Guidance and Messages of the Divine Feminine

The Divine Feminine As Creator

There are several very strong dominant traits in play today as the Divine Feminine moves into her new place of power. One is creation and the other is to destroy anything that threatens her offspring. When we look at our unfolding world, we can see both. It’s a bit like thinning a forest so that the trees that are left have room to grow stronger and taller.

Nature is defining a new level of fitness and we are truly facing the survival of the fittest. Those of us who can stay in the light and walk the higher path and open our hearts and compassion and be in service for the highest good of all move forward, but those who cannot make that a personal shift will not. 

In the US, droves of female Republicans (and some men) are registering with the Democratic party. They are standing up for their rights as women above all else. This is a time of reckoning as the Divine Feminine protects her own. Nature is indeed unfolding and is in the process of creating a new world. The Divine Feminine is giving birth to a new way of being, one of compassion and inclusiveness. Yeah. 

=== DEEPER SONG  PHILOSOPHIES ===

 Live in the nowhere that you came from even though you have a home here. – Rumi 

As we walk this world, we must dwell in our inner landscape where we are whole, perfect and complete. As we do our work in the world, remember that we are light and our job is to hold our torch high so that others might recognize it and see it in themselves. We are lighting the way.

===CARA’S CORNER===

You Create Your Reality With Your Mind

As I continue to acclimate myself to the idea of this much smaller space in assisted-living, I have a choice. I can look at it as being safely tucked in or I can see it as being locked in a closet. It’s a very small space. And I use a walker. 

There are big common rooms of course, but my interests are very strong and very select. And I provide them for myself.

I have to trust. I have to trust that I will be given only what I can handle. I have to trust that I am creative enough and clever enough and determined enough to make it work for me, to keep me mentally and spiritually stimulated and physically cared for. It’s really tricky when your interests are specialized. 

I’m going to immerse myself in a week of talks on Shamanism. I only have one friend online that I can talk to about what I discover because she’s interested in Shamanism too. It is up to me to be clever and creative and imaginative in finding like-minded people as I move into this next phase of my life. No one can do it for me. I have to create and adjust and make it work.

You create your reality with your mind. What are you creating? What would you like to change? 

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

It Is Up To Me

How my life unfolds and what it looks like, is all up to me.

How my life unfolds and what it looks like, is all up to me. What I choose and how I use it, designs my life experience.

How my life unfolds and what it looks like, is all up to me. What I choose and how I use it, designs my life experience. I am ever conscious of my powerful role in the unfolding of my life experience.
