Creating Conscious Connection

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

How do you prepare  yourself to participate in a world that is changing so rapidly?  There are no guidelines because new paths keep opening up.  What we get to do is go exploring, look closely at what is unfolding, and stay flexible. 

We’ve talked about the who-and-what statement before but because the world is changing so rapidly, it’s time to do it again from a broader perspective. We need to see what new and unexpected opportunities and needs have opened up and how our goals and expectations have changed. Become aware of how your place of service is evolving, see how who you serve has changed, and become aware of what you need to leave behind that is no longer yours to do.  

The operative word here is “change.”  The world is changing.  We need to change too. 

The more chaotic the world, the more I retreat into inner work as my place of service. But what does that look like? What does that do for the world? How do I share it?

In my journey work, I get phrases like: My work is about seeing possibilities, developing potential, and exploring unique combinations.

My current mission is about helping people realize they are higher consciousness, and our mission as Light Bearers is to hold High Watch for the planet and help others recognize the universal light within themselves. 

Our role changes as we change, as we become more aware, more prepared to move forward. And when the time is right, we are shown the next path to take. 

Spend some contemplative time and answer this statement:  I help (people you serve) to do (what you help them do) so that (what they can do because of what you offer/do.)

Start a document on your computer to keep track of the insights you receive about your evolving place of service – how it is unfolding, ideas you are to help it manifest.

I have collected notes from my shamanic journeys that say: 

“My work is about gathering lights together to make a more radiant way of being. My job is to help them realize their own powerful vibration and radiate it out where they are. So we are points of light. We are expanding consciousness.” 

These are simply ideas that have shown up in my own thinking and that call to me. You will find your own messages.  Simply go within and ask for guidance, then listen to the nudges and positive suggestions that show up. Listen and then choose. Our roles are changing. The path grows more specific. The group traveling it are more focused, we are the Circle of Light Beings, the Light Bearers, the guides to the New Humanity.

Do the inner work. Ask what your role is now in this unfolding of the new humanity.  Then go do that.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I listen closely to my inner voice and learn to interpret its messages. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Learn to listen to your inner voice.  It may come as one word, it may come as a feeling, it may come as an unexpected circumstance.  Notice how your inner voice is speaking to you. 
  • Listen.  And learn to interpret. 
  • Take action based upon what you learn and how deeply it calls to you.

Journey to the Sacred Masculine
and
Journey to the Sacred Feminine

A Deeper Song Adventure

We contain both the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine. It doesn’t make any difference how we have manifested here on earth, they are both within us. And they each play a role. I thought that as an independent woman, I identified more with a sacred masculine, but now I understand that the sacred feminine is creative and inclusive, and eager to share and serve others. We have both the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine within us at all times.

===INNER WORK===

Ode to My Inner Voice 

I love my inner voice. I love how she speaks up. I love how she nudges me. I listen to my inner voice who is within me all the time. Sometimes she gives me just a word but it is a word that I know that I am to build upon and explore and use as an anchor for where I am to go next.

Sometimes my inner voice gives me complete sentences and ideas to share and develop. When I turn to my computer and capture the messages from my inner voice, they can stay floating and etheric or they can get very detailed and instructive.  My inner voice is always inspirational and encouraging. 

My inner voice is very wise.

We are good friends, my inner knowing and I. I am grateful for her guidance. What is your relationship with your inner Voice? How will you deepen it? Be still and listen.  

Heal Your Whole Self

The imbalances that show up in your physical body are signs of an imbalance on two levels, your physical level and your spiritual level. You must work with both in order to bring balance to your human expression – the wholeness that is you. So as I do outward things to balance my physical body, I also have to look within at what beliefs and expectations helped to cause the imbalance. It could be fear. It could be uncertainty. It could be something I brought with me over the channels of time. Do some releasing work around whatever is manifesting out of balance on the physical plane. Release old beliefs. Release old fears. And center yourself in that awareness that we are cosmic consciousness and therefore we are innately whole, perfect, and complete. Make room for your body to align itself with that truth of who you are.

Watch for Emerging New Cycles

We are always somewhere in a cycle. The beginning, the middle, the end. It helps to be aware of that. And it helps to notice when a new cycle has begun. It helps to notice where you are in the changing cycle so you can see the potential and possibilities that are unfolding. A new cycle means it is a time to make new choices. A time to be aware and observant.  It is a time to redirect your path and choose your destination. Do you have a new cycle emerging? Where is it taking you? What are your choices? Are you listening?

Listen with your heart and follow its guidance. 

===OUTER WORK===

Do the Inner Work

As I begin my work to learn Zang Fu Gong from Daily Lee, I am reminded how important intention is. We can use our minds to focus an intention – an intention to release, to clear, to strengthen –  whatever is needed in a particular area of the body.  Directed Intention.  Let’s call it Directed Intention.  I have just finished reviewing one of Daisy’s classes as I write this and my whole body is tingling with Qi energy. Bear in mind, I cannot stand up straight at this point in time but I worked with the Qigon movements I was being shown and as I sit here writing this, my whole body is tingling.  And for all practical purposes I waved my arms around a bit and shifted my weight and my focus but the intentions were powerful.  Images of bringing up energy from the Earth. Images of bringing down energy from our Soul Star, Images to release and clear and increase strength.  Our mind is very powerful. Use your mind to send a specific intention into a specific area of your body.  Have those intentions be to release blockages, clear the energy meridians in that area of your body, strengthen your physical structure – all with the focus of your mind and a few intentional hand movements.  Focus the Qi energy within your body wherever it is needed. However it is to be used. Bring the resources of Gaia and your Soul Star into your body and direct them where they are needed. However they are to be used. Learn to interpret the energy flow of your body and use your intention to direct balancing Qi wherever it is needed.  

You focus energy with intention. Let the Qi do the work. 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Ceremony As Mindfulness

I’m working on a podcast script about ceremony because I would like to understand the basic elements and also make some choices about adding more ceremony into my life. I’m looking for simple and easy things to do. Recently I drew “ceremony” in the oracle cards I made for myself and in the course of examining that concept, I realize that ceremony is mindfulness. So even the shortest pause, the shortest aware pause to acknowledge and reflect and accept is ceremony. What does that awareness change for you?

Pause to Listen

If you stop what you’re doing right now and close your eyes and take a relaxing breath and listen, you will hear the heartbeat of the universe. In the stillness is everything. In the stillness are the answers. In the stillness are the insights. In the stillness is a certainty and clarity about next steps. I call it our Still Point. Move to your Still Point to immerse yourself in the sacredness of the moment. Pause to listen and feel and experience and choose. Pause to listen.

Self-Healing – Do the Work

I am studying with two sources who are teaching me how we can heal and balance our bodies by moving Qui.  My body is sort of a mess with major realignment going on that makes most of my body muscles hurt.  I am taking Daisy Lee’s Zeng Fu Gong Form of Qigong and it is powerful.  (Qigong to Renew & Rejuvenate Whole-body Health Discover the Zeng Fu Gong Form to Boost Energy and Release Stress for a Balanced, Joyful life.)

These gentle moves began to immediately release and realign my body. I can do it even in my muscularly jumbled state and it is effective.  

I am also taking a free class with Deng, Ming–Dao on The Circle of Qi, The Tao of Energy that is giving me clarity and ideas on the power of Qui and how I can use it to re-balance my body. You can contact him to join the free class at facebook.com/dengmingdao His site is www.Dengmingdao.com

My exploration for ways to self-heal continues. I’m on the right path working with the Chi energy for self -healing and balance.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Get Pro-Active in Creating Your Future

“Intentional change comes from imagining your future,” says Brian Clark in How to Create Your Future Self and I paused to see how I was doing.  

I’m not going to die any time soon but I am 88 and have begun to re-read Michael Harner’s books on life between lives.  

My body is in a process of change and I’m doing things to make it stronger and more aligned but the range of my future activities are pretty much based on how I help my body get back on track. 

But here’s the concept that interested me: “Step one is to accept that you have to proactively create the future self you want.

Just remember that the person on your current path is not the person you were before, and keep your vision for the next version of yourself top of mind.”

What steps am I taking to proactively create my future self?  I listen to my inner wisdom and go exploring where it takes me.  I am conscious of the new understanding that is being taught to me and I build on what I learn.  I am aware of the changing world, concerned about it, and have begun to define my place of service – my work as a transformational leader, holding High Watch for the planet and also holding a light up to show others how to live in their natural state of Cosmic Oneness. And of course, we teach to learn…

This step forward brings me back to the concept that we get what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible.  I get to work on that – particularly the part of me that is possible physically.  Bummer.

What do you want your future to look like? The pandemic has opened up a whole new world of work-from-home opportunities that offers more freedom. Technology makes things possible that were not even thought of a few years ago.  So part of imagining our future self is limited because the new inventions and discoveries and choices are unfolding. 

I’m going to keep exploring and trying out some of the new ideas and possibilities that keep showing up to see how they feel for this stage of my life and if they will take me where I want to go. 

Stay open. Be curious. And keep exploring. 

Read How to Create Your Future Self by Brian Clark. 

Free Yourself from Habit

I have been playing specific songs each day with my flutes as part of my morning meditation.  They are songs I made up when I was drumming to the elements and other aspects of my life.  

Until one day I didn’t.  I stopped my routine, picked up my double flute, and began to improvise to nature.  And it was and is beautiful. And freeing. And inspiring.  And motivating. 

What have you been doing out of mindless habit that could be changed into a new adventure?

Where Are You Being Called to Serve? 

“These times they a changing” and we need to change with them. (See Bob Dylan’s song of the ’60s ) So what does that mean to the work you do? What are you offering? How do you spend your time? Who you spend your time with? Where are you being called to serve now?

When we look closely at all that we have to offer, we realize some skills we have, some things we offered are no longer needed.  Some of what is no longer relevant or we no longer want to do. And there are new ideas flowing in that need for room to grow. 

We have to choose. Given this new stage and age, given the circumstances of your life, given where you want to go next, what do you want to do create and offer next?

I have a new direction calling me and now I’m watching my focus shift and intensify. There are topics I will no longer address. There are portals I have yet to open. So my work has to be fluid. It has to be flexible and open. And I have to listen to the voice within. 

What do you love to do most at this point in your life? What is the most lucrative thing that you do, and what is the most lucrative and the least time-consuming thing that you do? What do you love to do? What do you want to learn? Who you want to serve? What are you being called upon to do from your inner wisdom? And which of your many gifts do you want to use at this point in time? 

How are you to change? What is your inner world telling you to do next? How are you preparing for it? Listen and choose with awareness. 

=== DEEPER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

Formation 

What is forming in your life right now? How are you assisting it in evolving into its most effective place of service?

Formation is a flowing process. It is an evolutionary process. It is allowing something to unfold and to paying attention as it does. Formation is about noticing the signs and the signals, and the shapes that are forming – pay attention to the gradual and unique formation of your unfolding offerings.

Your work, your focus is constantly forming. It shapes and reshapes itself to accommodate what it encounters. Open your heart and let your “next” form from your center. Let it bring with it all you need to know and all you need to give.  

What is currently forming is the expression of your inner being as it takes shape so you can share it with the world.  What is forming?  Clarity, insights, specific steps, new directions? All the formation of our life to change and support it in its natural ebb and flow. Embrace change and allow your life to move into a new formation. 

Sacred Earth Cards

Motion 

Motion is the movement of constant change.  Be open to the flow. Be aware of the fluidity of opportunities that invite you to change. Listen, feel, observe. Bring all that into your awareness and contemplation of the ongoing motion that is your life.  Conscious thoughtful actions steadily guided by your inner wisdom. Stillness.  Moving to your Still Point before beginning any action.  Life is steady motion, we are to be in thoughtful, mindful awareness of the choices that are offered and the thoughtful, intentional choices we make.  We are aware of the motion of high vibration – of higher consciousness, of higher purpose.  I am in motion today for the higher good.

===CARA’S CORNER===

Shift Your Focus – Raise Your Gaze

The more chaotic and self-destructive the planet becomes, the more I retreat.  A higher path has opened up and it is getting wider and more clear.  Not everyone will see it or choose it.  Bu t I’m on the higher path and plan to stay on it. 

In my version of being on a higher path, I work to not be pulled down into the negativity of politics and harmful chaos and negative thinking that is so prevalent on our planet. I can only do that by avoiding it, by not focusing on it or even thinking about it. I’m on a higher path and plan to stay on it.

My focus has changed and I’m working to keep it there.  I’m very aware of those of us who are moving into this role of Light Bearer who, among other things, help others recognize their own light within and step into it as their main path.  Not everyone will see this alternate path and that has to be Ok.  There is so much going on that is negative that I have to make conscious steps not to absorb any of it. I work to keep my sight raised to the unfolding path that leads me to a higher, more positive, more purposeful energy that I can function in and learn from and grow in.  I’m not leaving the planet yet, but I am exploring the unseen world.

Do not be pulled down or sucked in by the negative energy, the discord and wrong-doing that is so prevalent on earth today.  That is not where I am participating.  That is not where I am being called to serve.  My role is to keep my light focused on this higher path and help light the way for those of us who are on this higher journey. I keep my sight raised. And I hold high expectations of what is possible for those of us who are taking this higher road.

=My Deeper Song=

The Higher Path

I step upon the higher path and my footsteps lighten. 

I step upon the higher path. My footsteps lighten. I feel the compelling and supportive harmony that emanates from those on the path beside me.

I step upon the higher path. My footsteps lighten. I feel the compelling and supportive harmony that emanates form those on the path beside me.  I shine.  We shine.  We are Light Bears leading the way to a new reality.

The Call of Curiosity

By

The Call of Curiosity

Creating Conscious Connection

Curiosity is your guide. Curiosity is your teacher. The more curious you are, the more expansive will be your life experience. Cultivate curiosity on all levels of your life.

I love the free summits on The Shift Network. Each time I attend, I learn something and often find a new teacher.  I take five or six 7-week classes a year. 

I read books on what happens when we leave the planet according to past-life regression studies. And it gives me ideas about how I want to shape my planetary life. What my purpose is. And how I view “next.”

I listen to my inner voice with great enthusiasm and explore its suggestions. 

Follow your curiosity. See where it takes you. What are you being called to do? How could you do that? What do you need to learn/understand/explore in order to know how to bring it into your life? Particularly in this rapidly changing era, we need to keep exploring, we need to stay curious, and we have to stay open to change.

Curiosity takes me on adventures. It opens new doors. It shows me new possibilities. How do you know what to do next if you don’t go exploring? And how do you go exploring unless you are curious? Would I like to do this? Can I do that? How do I learn to do this? Where will this new idea fit into my life? Where does this unfolding opportunity lead me? Is this step mine to take? Those are some of the questions to ask and then allow curiosity to find the answers that will deepen your life experience and direct your path.

Use the quality of curiosity to expand your options. Then see where it takes you. Curiosity takes me on to new dimensions, it takes me on journeys to the unseen world. Curiosity raises my expectation of what is possible and what my role is. I listen closely to my inner voice. It takes me on adventures I could never have unless I began by being curious. 

What are you curious about that you need to take time to explore? What unexpected thought has shown up recently that made you want to go exploring? To try something new? To change in some way?

Learn to listen to those internal nudges that say “consider this”. “What if you did this? What if you walk on this path for a while, where will it lead you?” How will you let your curiosity guide you today?

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I consciously encourage my curiosity to explore all aspects of my life. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Keep an eye out for something you are curious about. 
  • When it shows up, take time to go exploring, dig a little deeper, learn a little more. And try it on for size. 
  • Curiosity will take you on great adventures!

We Are Cosmic Consciousness

A Deeper Song Expanded Perspective

It was a giant leap to an unexpected place and it totally altered how I saw things. What I saw was possible.  What I expected was achievable.  It was like going from looking only at the view from my apartment window to suddenly looking out at everything from my soul star. My Infinite self. Which is exactly what this new perspective is. When we begin to look at our life, our human expression, from the standpoint of being cosmic consciousness, everything changes.

Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and Founder of the Deeper Song Community is a cosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world.

The Power of Affirmation

“All is well in my World.”

“Everything I need comes to me with ease.”

“I am whole, perfect, and complete.”

What kind of affirmations do you give yourself – particularly unconsciously. “I can’t do that.”  “I don’t deserve that.” “That will never happen.”  

Look closely at the affirmations you give yourself and make certain they are all positive. 

I am going through a process of letting go and establishing new patterns so I might say “The perfect new opportunities appear to guide me to my next place of service” or “I easily hear and interpret the sacred messages from within.”  Or “Today is a constant blessing” or “My body heals as I sleep.”

Get creative and start actively using positive affirmations in your life and notice what happens.  

Our Role as Transformation Leaders

There are members of the transformational community all over the planet who are holding High Watch for the world.  We sit in sacred silence and radiate out light into the world – to the people, the situations, the environment, our future.  We join with other light beings and begin to cover the planet in healing, wholing, light vibration. We work together to raise the collective consciousness. That’s how we hold High Watch for the World.

===OUTER  WORK===

What Have You Settled For?

Stop for a minute and look at your life, your work, your health and your relationships, and see what you have settled for. It is so easy to not take the extra step or demand the extra level of excellence of yourself and just settle for what shows up and what is comfortable and what is easy.

Keep working on change. My body is doing odd adjustment things but I keep trying new paths to wholeness and I have periodic breakthroughs that mean I’m on the right track. I have to keep trying or I have to settle. And settling for what was going on in my body is not what I’m gonna do.

Are you doing what you love to do? Are you working with people who excite you and motivate you and challenge you and nurture you? Or have you settled? Falling into a path or a routine that is easy will never lead you to the level of excitement and satisfaction you deserve. Keep questioning your choices.  Keep challenging yourself. What have you settled for? And how are you going to change that?

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

The Two Aspects of Your Spiritual Practice

There are two aspects to our spiritual practice, one is to deepen your own embodiment of your connection with spirit and the other is to deepen our connection with source.  We want to be certain we are addressing both aspects. 

Examining your spiritual practice from both directions may help you become aware of the balance you are or are not creating. 

Building on the Life Mandala I have drawn for my life (How to Create a Mandala for Self Healing), I  have created a separate mandala for the area of my Life Mandala I labeled “Spirituality”. It has two halves –  how I deepen my own embodiment of my connection with spirit and how I  deepen my connection with source.

How do you deepen your connection with Cosmic Source? 

I sit in my Still Point each day and disappear my body as I listen to and absorb the messages of the unseen world. I take shamanic journeys.  I channel messages from the unseen world into a form to share with others.  I take shamanic journeys for my own guidance and clarity and for awareness and insights I am to pass along.  I pay attention to the organic opportunities and nudges and insights that Cosmic Source gives me. 

How do you deepen your own embodiment of your connection with spirit? How do I, here in my humanness, express myself as oneness?  As all-inclusive?  As the highest vibration? What choices do I make to expand my expression as spirit in this human world? Embodiment plays out in my actions and interactions. 

On the physical plane, I continue to cultivate my awareness of the natural vibration of all that is around me. I am expanding my Qigong practice in order to experience a deeper flow of Qi, a deeper awareness of my role as pure energy. I play my flutes and let my expression through their vibration connect me with nature. I make conscious choices that support the well-being of my body.

Give some thought to how you deepen your own embodiment of your connection with spirit and how you deepen your connection with source.

Phoenix Rising

I was working with the oracle cards I made for myself and I drew “Phoenix Rising.” I understood this is a time for me to reposition and rebuild for this next segment of my life.  Those are major steps. 

The phoenix is a sign of re-birth, rising from the ashes to begin anew. 

So here we are with a new era of the Sacred Feminine which is definitely in a period of emergence. We are being called upon to make major changes in how we live on our earth world and how we interact with each other. Even our business opportunities and survival opportunities have changed dramatically and we must adjust.

How are we to reposition ourselves and how are we to rebuild based on this rapid and dramatic evolution that is taking place?

I had already taken major steps to reposition myself when I realized that our job is not to “raise” our vibration, it is to recognize and express the fact that we are already the highest cosmic vibration. (We Are Cosmic Consciousness- A Deeper Song Expanded Perspective) We have just covered it up in our humanness.  For me that means there is no more striving to raise my vibration, there is only the work of sharing myself as cosmic awareness, cosmic vibration, a reciprocal energy. 

The rebuilding part is an interesting concept at 88.  But I am making some conscoius changes in my physical plane expression.  It has to do with the food I choose to eat and the physical movement I do or do not choose to practice.  It’s totally up to me to make choices to rebuild a bodily expression that has gotten a bit cranky. 

Look at your life.  In what areas do you need to reposition yourself, rethink your options and make different choices?  Once you have examined and chosen, you can begin to rebuild.  This is the time.  Do the work.

Our Destiny and Self Responsibility

Our Ongoing Journey into the New Consciousness

=== DEEPER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

Magnetism

Energy attracts. What we draw to us in our lives is drawn there by the energy we are putting out. Our being. It is what we are thinking and doing and expecting that acts as a magnet to draw to us our next steps, our next adventures, the people who are to walk beside us on this part of our path. So if you’re not getting what you want, check your own energy. What do you believe you deserve? What do you believe is possible? Those are major questions to consider whenever your life seems stuck. Who are you drawing to you? What opportunities are showing up? What new ideas? What new possibilities? Change your energy, change your life. Change your thinking, change your life.

===CARA’S CORNER===

The Choices We Make

It’s interesting to look back over a long life and notice the choices that you made and where they took you. It’s not about redoing them. It’s not about being regretful. Be glad. They were your choices, your lessons, your adventures. It is about noticing what happened when you made those choices. What the results were. What the lessons still are. It all contributed to who you are today.

Every choice we make changes where we go next, and where we end up. I have made several major choices in my long life that were daring or unusual or odd and very very big. They impacted me. They impacted others. And they certainly led me on a path I did not have access to if I had not made that original huge change.

If I have not left the Midwest for New York City, I would never have gotten the holistic training that is so vital to who I am, what I offer, and how I live my life. If I had not raised my granddaughter by myself, she would not be as successful as she is today. My major choices seem to have been made in the moment, based on a strong sense of knowing it was right.  We make choices in every moment that impacts our own lives and the lives of others, and we may or may not understand how far-reaching and impactful they are. I have no idea how some of my ideas and insights affect the lives of others. But periodically I hear from some of you and know that I am giving you something to think about. To consider. And that’s a perfect way to spend my life.

Don’t have any regrets over the choices that are over and done with. Or the opportunities you did not explore. The choices of the past. The paths you did not choose. Do notice where your choices took you. Do notice what you learned because of those choices. Look back over the friends that you have walked along beside for part of the path and then parted to take separate ways. Cherish the gifts you exchanged along the journey. Look at those who are walking the path beside you today and notice how your own values have changed. Notice how beliefs have changed. And most of all notice your expectations for yourself and the possibilities that lie ahead. For that is the sign of where you were going, the path you are on, the journey you are to take. Choose. Explore. Evaluate. And choose again. Life is an adventure. Enjoy the journey.

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

No regrets. 

No regrets about what was done and what was not done, what was chosen and not chosen. 

No regrets about what was done and what was not done, what was chosen and not chosen. Build on what you learned from your choices and let that wisdom be your foundation for “next.” 

Keep moving. Keep choosing. Let life unfold.

Creating Conscious Connection

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

On the surface, the shift is fairly subtle. And yet where it is going to take us is monumental. One step in a new direction and you end up on an entirely new journey. That’s exciting. And it’s good to know how much difference one step will make.

We are surrounded by new small steps to take. New venues to explore. New realizations that open unexpected doors. We are to be willing to go exploring because one step on a new path can completely change not only our journey but our destination.

So how do we do that? Pay attention. This idea for a process podcast has sent me soaring in a new direction. And when I rushed and captured all the ideas that had come flooding in, and paused for even a split second, I received directions to a new journey I am to explore and consider. Pay attention.

The more I listen the more I hear. The more I pay attention to my Inner Voice, it not only becomes louder, but it speaks in complete sentences. Almost in outline form. “Here, this is what you know you’re going to do next.”  Y our inner voice gets clearer with usage.

Take one small step and look around. That one step will have you facing a new direction, it will give you a different viewpoint. It will open up new vistas.  You will see the world differently.  It will be full of new possibilities.  One step in any direction. One step of exploration. It opens up new vistas, new possibilities. 

You don’t have to continue on that path. But you do need to look around. Maybe take another step in that new direction, maybe turn in still another direction while standing in that new viewpoint and go exploring there. The point is to keep looking around. To keep moving forward. The point is to keep taking a next step. One step in a new direction will totally change your experience and the outcome. Go adventuring. A new world awaits.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

  • Look around you and take one new step deeper into to the exploration and understanding of the potential and possibility of that new direction. 
  • Keep going, or change directions, but keep moving!

Connect With the Land Around You

Even living in the middle of New York City, I found a way to connect with the earth, PachaMama, Gaia. Central Park was a block away from my apartment. But I could still feel the earth beneath the concrete. 

Take time to connect with and appreciate the land you live on. Feel that energy coming up from the center of the earth to balance and restore and heal. I have a great tree outside my window and I often think of her roots and how far they reach. I see her branches respond to the wind and the sun.  This was Indian land here in Kansas and about a mile away there is a museum that was the last stagecoach stop before you really took off to the wilderness. And I have been across Kansas. It is flat as a pancake. And I have been across the Continental Divide and it is not!

Take time to  simply walk on the earth. When was the last time you stood bare foot in the grass? When was the last time you sat in the dark and listened to nature move around you or watch the moon rise? Talk to the earth where you live. Ask it who lived there before you. My building is on a slight crest of the hill and I like to think of Indians meeting here to have a celebration. Talk to your land. Ask for her message. Connect with her ongoing and deep support. 

===OUTER  WORR===

Who Do You Choose to Serve?

It was the end of my Reiki Teacher Training in the ’80s. We stood in a circle and each new teacher shared how we were going to use Reiki in service. The person right before me said, “I’m going to teach Reiki to all the poor people.” And I knew that was not for me. I said, “I am going to teach those who are already flying high so that they can fly higher and reach more people.” And that has been the guideline that I have followed for the last 30 years. I am an explorer. I need to keep learning. As I move more deeply into creating more Deeper Song Guided Journeys, the ideas are pouring in. There is no going back. There is no teaching at a beginner level. There is only flying onward from where I stand now. Who do you choose to serve? How high do you want to fly?

What Did You Discover From All this Isolation?

As the ban is gradually lifted and we can resume or return to some version of our previous life, what do we want to change? We have been very creative in how we do our work or buy our groceries.  We have had a lot of together time to adjust to or a lot of alone time to figure out.  It’s not going to be the same because we have changed in the past year.  Our values are different. Our expectations are different. And the opportunities that await us are quite different. 

How has this time to adjust and contemplate and rethink affected your choices? People are changing jobs. They’re starting their own business.  They are learning new skills They have learned to be more agile online. They are rethinking their priorities. They’re beginning to experience life on their own terms. How are you doing with that?

===DEEPEN  YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

What We Look For We Find 

What are you focusing on? Out of all the myriad of opportunities and places you can focus your attention, how do you choose? How do you begin to discern which steps to take and which steps to leave behind?

I’ve had the opportunity to be on several types of free online summits with about 30 speakers in each. And because there are so many summits  and speakers, I really have to choose where I place my time and attention.

What guides your choices? What are you looking for? Be discerning in your choice of focus. As I deepen my ability to listen to my inner voice it offers me very specific nudges and an occasional bop on the head.  It demands my attention. It is very clear about what I should be paying attention to. Know what is for you and what is not. Be discerning. Choose wisely with the time you have to focus on what you want to learn next.

I skipped one whole summit because it didn’t call to me deeply enough at this point in time. I immersed myself in the recent Qi Gone Summit through the Shift Network and in the very first talk, I lend some life-changing moves and found access to a new teacher. I took a one-time flute class from a new person. Know your priorities. And follow them.

I also have to look at how I spend my time. What choices do I make? What question do I choose to answer, what projects do I focus on and undertake and complete? Be discerning in what you choose to study and explore, and complete. Keep an eye on where you were headed. And choose only the steps that keep you moving in that direction.

===DISICOVERIES ===

Around The World

It always intrigues me when someone joins the Deeper Song Community for Australia, or Africa, or other continents. It is fascinating that I can sit her in ma apartment in the middle of the US and connect with people around the globe.  We are light beings connecting with other, light beings who have work to do as a conscious collective.  How exciting.

===MY DEEPR SONG  ADVENTURES ===

Chunyi Lin, Qigong Master taught the practice that was so profound for me.  He gives a daily free Qi Gong session at 8 Central on FaceBook, springforestqigong.com

===OUR EVOLVING FUURE===

Our Expanding Consciousness

As I move more deeply into these inner world journeys, I realize that what we are doing, you and I, is to expand our consciousness. Our role in this incredibly changing world is to be a point of light. A steady point of light emanating the most powerful vibration so others see that in themselves and move forward to access it and work with it. We are messengers. We are guides. And our job is to keep moving into a deeper awareness of ourselves as the highest vibration there is so others see it and know that about themselves. We are points of light calling to other points of light. Shine on!

=== DEEpER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

Consistency

We need to keep  consistency in our focus. We need to keep consistency in our direction. We need to keep some consistency in our beliefs of what is possible and what we are to do a service. I drew the Oracle card consistency for the Deeper Song Community.

My visit to the naturopath offered some ideas of mew things I can do on a consistent basis. I found some Qi Gong moves in the Shift Network QI Gong Summit that I want to add consistently to my life. Being consistent doesn’t mean we don’t get to question what shows up, it means we are more consistent in observing and examining the opportunities that show up. Whatever we chose we have to d give time to take root so we can truly see its potential. My favorite use of the concept of consistency is to constantly listen to the guidance of my inner voice. The more I listen, the more I hear…

How will you put consistency in your life?

===CARA’S CORNER===

Continued Change

Change keeps coming so all I know to do is to stay observant. And to consider what is offered. I am moving from exploring the unseen world to exploring cosmic consciousness. Talk about giant steps. As I edit some of the podcasts I recorded earlier, they pale in comparison to the process podcasts that I’m doing now.  I have moved one. I prefer the process podcast. Wherever they take us. I’m staying flexible. I’m staying aware and observant. And I’m feeling my way into this change. How does this idea feel? How does this idea resonate? Where does this idea take me? Is that where I want to go? What am I missing? I’m not attached to a particular idea or direction, but I am continuously curious. And most of all I am very, very open to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new ways of being.

Where are you going to go adventuring today?

===SINGA DEEPER SONG ===

Opening to Change

Change knocks loudly at my door.

Change knocks loudly at my door. Where it will lead me I do not know. 

Change knocks loudly at my door, where it will lead me I do not know. I step forward and welcome change into my life.

Adventures in Curiosity

Adventures in Curiosity

Creating Conscious connection

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

Curiosity is one of our most powerful gifts.  Curiosity is a strong desire to know more about something.  Curiosity leads us on awesome adventures. 

How do you develop curiosity?  Wonder.   Wonder at the world around you.  Wonder at what others are doing.  Wonder at how an idea calls to you for more exploration.  

Not everyone seeks to be curious.  I’m writing this because we have all been shut in for so long and our curiosity is our key to learning and sociability and spiritual guidance.  

What are you curious about?  

It is easy to learn anything on the internet. There is a myriad of online classes.  I have taken classes in shamanism, drumming, native flute, Qi Gong, and sound healing.  Each time I took a class I gained a level of competence but I also satisfied or elevated my desire to learn more.  It’s good to be able to interpret how the learning resonates.  

You need a filter for what you choose to learn because it is easy to become overwhelmed.  For instance, there are many opportunities to study astrology but I am clear about how deeply I do or do not want to go into that topic. I am clear what I want to use it for – I’m interested in understanding the overarching  flow of planetary energies as a prompt to focus my energy work. That awareness of how I want to use it becomes a filter for me and enables me to choose only those sources that offer me the viewpoint I want to explore.

Podcasts are abundant.  Pick a topic and go find people who call to you.  Videos teach you everything from starting a plant cutting to elaborate computer techniques.

Be prompted in the moment.  I remember years ago when I kept a garden here, that several of us went to a bait shop to get earthworms to put in our garden. When I came home and had safely deposited mine in my raised garden bed, I went online to see how long an earthworm lived. (Eight years, though one to two is more likely.) Simple actions and a lively curiosity can lead to the search for new knowledge. 

Know when you are full up on a topic. Know how the topic rates on your level of interest.  Be selective. And go exploring.

I really liked the sound healing courses I took but there came a point when I realized that was not a direction I wanted to explore more deeply.  I was full up.  

On the other hand, I have a new shamanic teacher – my fourth.  I know he will add depth to my shamanic work. 

Sometimes it the topic that draws you more deeply.  Sometimes it’s the presenter.

There is great wisdom being shared on every topic.  Type in a keyword and go exploring. 

Curiosity will take you on amazing adventures. 

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I encourage my curiosity to open new doors for me.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Pick one topic and do a search. 
  • Explore three sources.
  • Notice what format draws you – video, audio, written words, courses.
  • Notice what presenter appeals to you – and why – their vocabulary, their topic, their presentation skills, or just a resonance. 
  • Keep exploring.  Leave a top behind when you feel satisfied and turn and go in another direction. 
  • Curiosity takes you on great adventures. Enjoy the journey!!!

Become a Pillar of Light

An Exploration of the Unseen World

There are many ways we can self-heal.  Experiencing yourself as a pillar of light is a powerful way to heal yourself and raise your vibration. 

As I journey to the Unseen World I am given suggestions, nudges, ideas to explore.  Then I have to figure out how to apply them. 

Experiencing ourselves as light is very powerful because that is who we are.   The Pillar Light is a powerful process of deepened awareness to add to your spiritual practice.

Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and Founder of the Deeper Song Community is a cosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world. She shares what she learns and guides us to the next level so we can sing a deeper song.  

In this episode, we explore how to sell heal as you Become a Pillar of Light.

When I See Myself As Light

Build a Launching Pad for Your Inner work 

Another Part of You-The Unseen World 

How to Interpret the Messages from Within 

Energy Cannot Be Destroyed – Only Re-Purposed

***INNER WORK***

What is the Vision You Have For Yourself?

That is a particularly interesting question to ask at age 88!!!!

Your “next” is up to you.  What you choose to let go.  What you choose to bring along.  What you choose to ignore. Each moment, each choice shapes your future.  Be aware and go exploring.

My body is very grouchy so my focus is on finding ways to make her happy. This requires some exploration, experimentation, and some discipline.   

My eyesight is diminishing and I am learning to dictate more and at some point, I’m going to need help. That’s a bummer for me so I’m working on my adaptability and exploring what I will substitute for some of the things I depend on my sight for.  Do a reality check and make plans around what you discover. 

Look at what you have created and know that your actions and choices have brought you here.  Then decide what you would like to change it and get busy. 

Figure out what you need to know next.  Technology is leaping forward and opening fascinating new doors. You can make new friends all over the world.  You can take fascinating classes.  Make choices that add richness to where you are in your life right now and go exploring to see what new path you would like to take.  

The Guidance in Overwhelm

It was a great idea. A great new venue for learning things and I felt immense overwhelm.  It was too much.  I could not absorb it all.  I stopped to figure out why – I love to learn – what was turning me off of a great learning opportunity?

Overwhelm is like a flagman signaling for a train to slow down and even stop.  We need to pay attention to overwhelm.

I love to learn but what I realized was that I did not want to learn this – this particular focus was not where I was headed.  And that was a key realization. Know what direction you want to travel in. 

I’m no longer going where I was headed, I’m going in a slightly different direction and it is still unfolding.  This feeling of overwhelm is like a huge signal from the Universe saying – this is not for you – it will pull you off track.  

If it is particularly hard to do, if you do not want to do it, pay attention and see if you can see where the reluctance comes from.

This reluctance to explore practical ideas is because my work is now focused on energy work – not physical plane work.   I needed to figure that out. 

Overwhelm is a signal that something is not right – it is not balanced or it is not taking you in the direction you need to go next.  

Explore overwhelm for its messages and insights. 

Allow Space and Time for Renewal

I’ve drawn the oracle card Renewal three times this month and each time, I was able to move more deeply into what I thought that meant to me.

Allow space and time for renewal.  

I gave away a LOT Of stuff this month and it gave me the opportunity to reconfigure everything in my life from my pantry to my closets.  Create space for renewal by redefining your space and the items you choose to keep close around you.  How does your home need to support you at this point in time?

Restructure is also about leaving time so I can tune in to my inner voice and explore new opportunities, make new choices.  This has been huge for me, cutting back on the number of offerings so I can literally sit here and say, “What do I feel like doing?” And then do that.

And finally, renewal is about restructuring my time and my efforts. It is about allowing time for my ‘“next” to unfold.  Be patient with renewal.  It is an unfolding process. 

What kind of action steps will you take to allow space and time for renewal?

***OUTER WORK***

Rethink Your Routine 

A routine can easily turn into a rut.  There are so many aspects of our life that we do mindlessly because – well, that’s the way we’ve always done it, or that’s the pattern we have fallen into.  

There is HUGE freedom in rethinking your routine.  It makes you more efficient but when you tune in to your own rhythm, you can make mindful shifts in when you do what.  

Routine is a series of steps that are followed over time – a fixed process.  You can’t grow with a fixed process. You can’t explore with a routine. There’s no fun in that!

You are the person who decides on your routine and you are the one who can change it.  

This past week I put out my podcast on Saturday instead of scheduling it for Sunday.  It was huge for me, my energy, and the sense of completion I got from completing the posting on one day instead of working on different aspects for two days.  We’re talking a few hours here and it made a huge difference. I’m the person that decided on Sunday, which makes me also the person that can make any changes that works best for me.

What rules have you set for yourself that no longer work?  How will you change them?

Find your own rhythm and find the sequence and rhythm for the things you need to do on a regular basis.  

Question everything you do – when you exercise, when you take a mindful break, whether you create or maintain.  Rethink your routine so it is spontaneous and aligned with how you feel and what you feel like doing – or not doing!

***DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE***

The Rise of Quan Yin

I have a fair number of Buddha statues around my home.  I like Zen Buddhism but I was also drawn to the figures of Buddha because they remind me to stop and be mindfully present. The Buddha figure is shown with different mudras (hand gestures). I also have several Quan Yin statues.  Quan Yin is one of the major deities in Buddhism. She is known as the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, The Chinese name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means “[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World.”

She is often shown pouring from a vase – she is pouring compassion on the world. I have several figures of her in that position.  But I also have a really sassy Quan Yin figure where she is seated with one leg bent and her foot on the seat she is sitting on, and her arm extended rather arrogantly across her knee as if saying, “Bring it on.” It’s called the royal ease position.  I like that one a lot!

I’ve been rearranging my surfaces recently and as I rethought each shelf and tabletop, Quan Yin was elected in position. Moved to the more visible spaces.  And then I had to laugh. I was welcoming in the age of the famine by moving around small states.  

I’m keeping up with the changing times…. Yeah for the rise of the feminine….!

*** INSIGHTS  OF A DEEPER SONG ***

A New Insight on Mercury in Retrograde

How often have you heard people say they can’t get anything done because Mercury is in retrograde? Yes, Mercury is about communication – intelligence, the transference of information.  I like that part. 

Retrograde is when the planet looks like it is moving backward.  But what I just learned is that when Mercury is in retrograde, the mind turns inward, freed to think in independent, imaginative, innovative terms.

That sure changes how I will experience it, since Mercury goes retrograde three or four times in a calendar year, for about three weeks at a time.

Time for deeper inner exploration. How fun. 

Mercury turned retrograde on January 30 for three weeks. It is a time to find new solutions to old problems It is a pause to see what we left behind that we need to move forward. Pause to look over the past year and repair or bring forward or release what still needs to be handled.  

In 2020, Mercury will be in apparent retrograde motion during the following ranges of dates: February 17 to March 10. June 18 to July 12. October 14 to November 3.

What kind of introspective work are you planning?

***OUR EVOLVING FUTURE***

Are You Afraid of Change?

Some of the rebellion in the world is about power but another part of the rebellion is fear of change.  The strong desire to keep things as they are. Familiar.  Comfortable. Reassuring in their familiarity. Considering the giant changes in the world, we each need to become more flexible – curious, and flexible.  What is newly possible and how do we want to adjust?

It is comforting to keep things the way they are.  There are no surprises.  However, there is also no adventure, no new discovery. 

Change can be scary. It can make you move into unfamiliar circumstances and forces us to make new decisions and even change our direction.  

But change is inevitable. It is ongoing.  And we must learn to embrace and cultivate it.

Do you have a fear of change? Do you want to keep things the way there are – familiar, comfortable, reliable, unchanging?  

If you are not willing to change, you cannot grow and you will never have any adventures….!

You need to be introspective in order to understand what is being offered to you.  You need to be patient and allow life to unfold.  You need to have moments of contemplative stillness in order for the Universe to guide you to your new place of being or new place of service. 

This new era that is unfolding is one adventurous, unexpected, and unusual choice after another.  Begin by letting go of all but your bare bones, and thoughtfully explore and try on new ways to change.  And how that change – enthusiastically embracing that change – will change the unfolding of your future.

Don’t go back Go forward. Keep changing. Keep experimenting.  Keep exploring. Changing is a wonderful adventure and will lead you where you need to be next.

MESSAGE FROM THE SACRED EARTH ORACLE CARDS

Balance

“Balance” is the oracle card I drew for us to consider. It shows two women, one in red, one in blue held together by a band of energy but leaning in opposite directions.  I know that feeling.  How do you find and keep balance in your life?

First, you have to notice how you are balanced.  Is your time focused more heavily on work?  Are you more focused on one activity than another? Are things not getting done that need to be done? It’s great to get lost in enthusiastic exploration, but we must learn to mindfully make choices that return us to balance.  

My prime example comes from cutting back on my offerings. It gives me space and time in which I get to check inside to see what I feel like doing or not doing next. Taking that pause to find my balance gives me time and space to let my new ideas mature and be evaluated as to their place in my overall journey. It gives me time to explore.

This care shows two paths, going in different directions.  How can you align your paths so they move side by side in the same direction? How are you being pulled in two different directions? What do you need to change?  Let go of? 

Look over your spiritual life, your work life, and your relationships and see what you need to bring into greater balance.   How will you do that?

CARA’S CORNER

Our World as the Circle of Light Beings

I am a guide, an explorer who does not choose to travel the worn paths but instead, uses her curiosity and desire to expand to move off into the Unseen World.  I feel and experience two distinct levels of being on our planet.  There is my all-inclusive awareness of the Circle of Light Beings, to which everyone reading this belongs.  And there are others who are not yet aware of their own light.  As far as I can tell, our job as an aware light being is to keep raising our vibration  and singing our light through every choice we make, every thought we think. Those who can, those who are ready, will see that light shining in themselves and choose to work with it, to develop it, to expand it, to let their inner light guide them.  Shaman Sandra Ingerman said not everyone will choose this path and we have to be OK with that.  She also suggested we would eventually live in parallel universes.  Hummm.   I do know that I chose to be with and work with and learn from those who are working and living in their own light, who continue to find new ways to raise the vibration of their light and its reach.  

We have choice here.  Keep raising your vibration, extend the reach of your light, and invite others to join us in this raised consciousness and purposeful journey of light. 

A DEEPER SONG

I am a beacon of light. 

I am a beacon of light who reached broadly and deeply into the world around me. 

I am a beacon of light who reached broadly and deeply into the world around me and encourages others to do the same. 

We are One Light Energy.
