Have You Raised Your Sails?

April 17, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Have You Raised Your Sails?

“The winds of grace are always blowing, but we must raise our sails.”
– Sri Ramakrishna.

It’s so simple. Just raise your sails. Catch the winds of change.  Accept the opportunities and lessons that cross your path. Walk through the doors that open. Go exploring. Let the new path expand your awareness of the myriad of possibilities that await. 

Look around. Feel.  What is calling to you?  What tugs at your heart?  Learn to interpret the messages of your intuition.  

Follow them and lift your sails.

Start Where You Stand

April 10, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Start Where You Stand

“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” – George Herbert, poet and priest

Wherever you are right now is a perfect place to begin.  Take a step.  Followed by another step.  Then look around at the new view.  

When a new idea pops in, explore it.  Let it take you wherever it does.  Do with it whatever it calls on you to do.  Each time you go exploring you learn, your experience is deepened, your skills are sharpened.  

Where are you now and what do you simply need to start doing?

Does Your Path Have Heart? 

April 4, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Does Your Path Have Heart? 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Follow your path with heart.

Build on the Distance You Have Come 

March 27, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Build on the Distance You Have Come 

“You can only progress by building on the distance you have come.”
– Everyday Tao, Ding Ming Dao

Where are you?  How far have you come?  Where do you want to go?

Before you move forward, examine where you are. What are your strengths, your gifts, your talents? What have you learned that can become a new foundation to build upon? What recently discovered awareness will open new doors?

Look at what’s missing.  What do you need to acquire before you move forward?  It may be in the form of knowledge, it may be a skill, it may be self-awareness.  To get from here to there, what needs to change within you?

Change that.

Follow Your Personal Drumbeat

March 20, 2018 By Cara Lumen


DEEP LISTENING

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” – Henry David Thoreau

When you are marching to the beat of your own drummer, the world is a marvelous place.  Your gifts shine, your work illuminates, your presence inspires.

Of course, it sets you apart.  Following your own drumbeat makes you walk the path alone.  You will be with others who are also marching to their own beat, but it is an individual journey.  A fulfilling journey.  A unique journey.

Are you listing to your personal beat?  Do you express your own inner rhythm?  People are waiting to hear from you.

Sing your unique song!

Do not follow where the path may lead, go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
