How to Reframe to Get Better Results

Adventures in the Unseen World

This was a huge, life-changing discovery. Change is as simple as reframing how you see it. That means all you have to do is reframe the perceived problem in order to get different results. 

What needs to change – could it be me?

My passion lies in philosophical writing. Not in cleaning my home. 

My passion lies in the creativity of my mind and its amazing discoveries – not in the strength of my body.

I was beating myself up for not making some basic things happen. Did I not clean my home better because I was lazy, or it is a tad harder than it used to be, or that I really didn’t care? I was trying to change me so I could change my behavior. 

It wasn’t working.

Was the reason I was not willing to develop a regular form of exercise because I’m not very interested in exercise or because I’d rather write (yes) or I’m lazy?

I looked very hard to see what needed to change in me so I could change my actions.  

Change how you see the problem

It turns out that when I shifted the purpose of what I was doing, I shifted my attitude.

It created major change.

The shift began when I started to look at my choices and motivation differently.  Why was I doing or not doing whatever it was?

I began with my lack of motivation for cleaning my home. 

I love all the crystals I keep around me and I bet they would be really happy to be damp wiped more often and handled more frequently.  

Crystals, yes I could do that, but the kitchen floor? What did I need to shift in how I viewed caring for my home in order to create a shift in me?

See your home as sacred space

In my daily mediation, I think of various areas of my home as a sacred space. I care for them.  I occupy them with awareness.  

What if I saw my entire home as sacred space!!!  Now that would certainly create a change in my willingness and attitude toward caring for it. My home is my sacred chamber for safety and well-being. Of course I want to keep a sacred chamber clean and cared for. 

See how this works?

Shift how you perceive the task you with to accomplish.  Reframe it until you feel the shift in your willingness.

My body needed help

The same resistance I have felt toward caring for my home extended to my body. Caring for it, as in keeping it strong, was not very interesting or meaningful to me. It was not a priority.  I knew I needed to move my body more in order to help it be stronger and more flexible, but I kept putting off the things that would help that happen. 

Until, like my home, I changed how I viewed it. I reframed how I held my body and it changed my actions. 

My body is sacred space

When I began to perceive my body as sacred space, it immediately and dramatically changed my willingness to care for it.  Of course, my body is sacred. It is home for my soul.  I need to care for it as such. 

Finding the form of exercise I am to do to strengthen my body is not about me, it’s about what my body temple will appreciate and thrive on. It’s the food and drink I offer it, the activities I choose to do that stimulate and motive and are simply enjoyable. 

It’s not about me, it’s about my body and how I see its value in my life.  How I honor its service. How I care for its sacred space.

I change my perception and it changes my choices. And my willingness.

It’s not about chaining you, it’s about changing how you view what you are doing

How do you perceive how you contribute to the world? Do you see it as valuable?  Do you see your work as sacred? Can you see the impact your particular task has on the whole? Are you doing what you need to do to share your gifts with the world?

I write because my mind demands I go exploring.  But I must make certain that I publish my posts and newsletter and podcasts so there is a chance what I have discovered will be of value to someone else.  It’s only partially about how much I cherish and enjoy writing.  It’s also that what I learn and share effects and serves and supports someone else. We must share our gifts for that is why we were given them.

I write for self-discovery, but when I share what I discover I am in service to others in the world. And that is even more important. When I shift my view of my overarching purpose, I change my actions. 

All thing are vibration and they vibrate back to you

My hone is vibration.  My body is vibration. My intention is vibration. And vibration affects vibration.  Vibration has impact. It tends to move toward an aligned harmony.  I get to look at the vibration I am putting out into my life. 

Your home soaks up the energy you bring into it and reflects it back to you. You are the initiator of the energy you want to have in your life   And if you listen closely, your home will also tell you what it needs to make the space more nurturing for you. 

Your body gives you many signals about what it wants and needs. You have only to listen. And respond.

Keep listening. And change your own vibration by changing how you view your participation, your acts of service, and your impact.

Live in a state of aware gratitude

I am truly grateful for my home. It is shelter, it is nurturing. I want to give some of that back.  

I am very grateful for my body and because I truly want to stay active, I get to find ways to nurture and provide its desire to stay strong and healthy. 

Move through your home with appreciation – for the way it serves and supports you. Honer your body with the care it needs to stay strong.

Both your body ad your home are sacred spaces. 

Treat them as such. 

What do you need to reframe in order to shift your actions and thus the outcome?

The Vibration Behind Your Beliefs

July 29, 2020 By Cara Lumen

The Vibration Behind Your Beliefs

Adventures in the Unseen World

There are two underlying beliefs that you may hold that will greatly influence the outcome.  What you believe you deserve and what you believe is possible.  Both of those beliefs have very, very strong vibrations and will have a powerful impact on the outcome.  

Self worth is tied into what you believe you deserve

The vibration you put forth by the beliefs you hold about your own value hugely impact what you draw to you, what you accept, and what you attract. If you participate from a sense of self-worth, value, being a worthy contributor, that’s exactly what you will offer.  Others will see it, accept it, and welcome it.  

All of that comes from your belief in your own self worth. 

Manifestation comes with the belief in possibilities

Closely linked to your sense of worthiness is the idea that what you want, desire, choose will in fact happen.  That it is possible. 

If you can dream it you can do it.  If you want it and believe you deserve it, you can have it.

Don’t let your human mind limit what you experience just because you can’t think of a way for something to happen.  Just move over and give space for the Universe to do her work.

How do you shift your beliefs?

If your beliefs are causing the negative vibrations behind your life experiences, how do you change them?

Sometimes you have to look very deeply to even identify the cause of your dis-belief.  

But in order to release the unwanted beliefs, you don’t even have to know they exist because, you can just affirm, “I now release whatever is keeping me from believing in my own value.’” Intention is everything. 

Leave room for something bigger to come in

Dreaming big calls for making room for something big to come in. It takes some practice.  You do have to feel you are worthy of the big dream. You do have to believe it can happen. The Universe can do anything – so mix a lot of trust into your visioning, into your expectation.  

I don’t have a big picture going about selling lots of books.  But I do have a picture of having something I write shift someone’s life to make an important and valuable difference. 

And I will probably never know it happens. 

So I have to operate out of the power of my intent to change the lives of others and the belief that whoever needs to know of the insights embodied in my work, will find them. 

How to change beliefs that no longer serve you

In order to change beliefs that no longer serve you, you have to realize that you are stuck. Try to identify what is holding you back.  If you don’t know, you can still go on an inner journey in your imagination and ask your helping spirits to help you release those beliefs that no longer serve you. Lay them by the wayside, bury them in the ground, release them to the sky.  Let them go in whatever way works for you.

Then in your body suit life, become more contemplative and give both space and time for the new guidance to come in. 

When the new ideas begin to appear, try them on for size.  Expand on them a bit to examine the possibilities. There are no limitations in the looking. Where would you like to take that idea, that action?  Keep discarding any beliefs that hold you back so that you can go adventuring in your imagination to see the greater possibilities in each choice.

Look for the potential  Look for your call to action.  Follow that path.

Don’t just believe – KNOW IT!!!

I know in my heart that my writing is helping people I don’t even know to make meaningful changes in their lives.  So the vibration behind my work is that I need to do it for my own understanding and I have a very strong need to share it with others.  And there is no attachment to whether others use it our not, only that I have figured out something that calls to me and turned around and shared what I found with others. 

So my belief behind my intention is that I am being guided from the Unseen World to go exploring and that all my life I have been honing my inquisitive mind and this gift of wiring so it can be used to share what I discover. 

Those beliefs empower me in my work every day.  Those beliefs make me persistent in exploring the Unseen world and figuring out the meaning and application of what I am shown.  

My belies take me adventuring.  Where do your beliefs take you?

My Three Words for2020 – Strength, Intention, Explore

January 1, 2020 By Cara Lumen

My Three Words for2020  – Strength, Intention, Explore

Messages from the Unseen World

Choosing three words as guideposts for the year to come is a very powerful way to direct your journey and open your path. This idea comes from my friend Chris Brogan and I’ve been doing it since 2016. 

How does choosing focus words impact your life?

Choosing focus words helps you set your direction for the coming year.  It’s like charting a course or at the very least knowing the general direction you want to go.  

Choosing focus words helps you make conscious decisions. What is important to you? What do you want to bring next into your life? What steps are you willing to take to make it happen?  Where will those choices lead you? 

My first word is “strength”

My first priority for this next decade is to strengthen my 87-yer-old body to help it regain its flexibility so I can keep living a proactive life.  “Strength” is the first world I chose.  It will be the cornerstone of my coming year.

Strength can also be a strength of purpose. Like getting projects out the door in a timely fashion.  Strength can mean determination to understand or learn or… My first cornerstone word for 2020 is “Strength.”

Intention is at the core of manifestation

Intention makes everything happen. It directs energy. It directs your thoughts. I will work to become more aware of the intention of erecting I think, and say, and do. And I will use the power of intention to help me explore the power of vibration and the Unseen World.   

Intention is the second word I chose for 2020. 

Change comes through exploration

“Explore” is my third word for 2020.  I am already exploring the Unseen World through shamanic journeying, but I recently experienced a powerful new message from my Inner World.  I now understand that the many crystals I have had around me for 40 years are to be my portals to the Unseen World. They are really talking to me in loud clear voices.  I will begin to journey with individual crystals with the intention of receiving their message from the Unseen World.  What an adventure!  I have no idea where I will go and what I will find.

“Explore” is the third word I chose for 2020.

Your words offer new awareness and open the door to new possibilities.  

The three words you choose for this year will add power and direction to your chosen path.

What would you like the coming year to be like?  How would you like it to be different?  What doors would you like to open?  What wud you like to learn? What would you like to change?

What are your three words for 2020?

Deeper Song Affirmation

I choose three words to guide me on my path for the coming year.

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Look over the past year and notice what you would like to change.
  • What steps, habits, choices do you want and need to make to get you where you want to go in the coming year?

  • Work with them in the coming year and see what adventures they take you on.

The Path Ahead Cannot Be Seen

December 26, 2019 By Cara Lumen

The Path Ahead Cannot Be Seen

Adventures in the Unseen World

Life changes, we change. We know what we’re changing from, but not what we’re changing to. 

We have to trust the process. 

Where you are now is the result of what you have been doing

You’re standing where you are based on the choices you made up to now, things you did and things you didn’t do.

How Cycles Sneak Up On You

October 2, 2019 By Cara Lumen

How Cycles Sneak Up On You
An Inner-world Exploration

Look at your life.  Are you happy or would you like things to be different? 

You can’t make a change unless you know change is needed  

The sneaky thing is that life moves in cycles – small increments that you barely notice.  You gradually find yourself in a different position than you thought you were going and you don’t even know exactly how you got there. That’s why it’s important to take regular well-being checks – on all levels – emotional, spiritual and physical.  Well-being – how well is your “being?“
