The Two Vital Sides of Your Spiritual Practice

The Two Vital Sides of Your Spiritual Practice

A Deeper Song Inner Vision 

I stopped cold when I heard this.  I had never before thought of my spiritual life in this manner and it helped me make some important new choices for my spiritual development. 

There are two aspects to our spiritual practice, one is to deepen your own embodiment of our connection with sprit and the other is to deepen our connection with source.  Those are two different focuses in our spiritual development. We want to be certain we are addressing both aspects.  Let’s figure out how together.

The  Field of Opportunity

An Exploration of the Unseen World

It was like standing in a garden so filled with organic goodness that I was hare press to choose.  This was the Filed of Opportunity  and I had come there seeking my future.  

Where was I belong called?

What did I want to do?

Had I explored all the opportunities that were being offered?Was I ready for my next step?

My inner voice said, “Be present int the moment and it will be revealed.”

So I stood in my Field of Opportunity and looked at all the possibilities that surrounded me.

Listen For Your Future

A Deeper Song Adventure

I feel it forming.  I am aware of change taking place but it is not yet clear.  It is a feeling, a knowing actually. And so I wait.  Patiently.  Observing, considering, evaluating, imagining.  Letting it make itself known to me.

This  is a time of evolution and my role is to observe and consider before I act.  

Change cannot be hurried.  Change gradually makes its known as it organically unfolds. One must be patient and observant and let change show itself in its own rhythm.

The Path Above the Chaos

August 6, 2021 By Cara Lumen

The Path Above the Chaos

Creating Conscious Connection

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

I spent a lot of time listening to speakers on the Shaman Wisdom Summit on The Shift Network recently. I was looking for help. I wanted to find the path above the chaos. I wanted to walk it. And show others the way.

I found several answers.  The first from Sandra Ingerman was that this was a period of dismemberment which is a shamanic practice of releasing, letting go and destroying old patterns and beliefs and ways of being.  We do that in a dismemberment journey – dissolve who we are so we can emerge as cleared, pristine energy from which to build anew. We let go of our humanness, identify our core soul calling and begin to build from there. Erase and start over.  Start with a clean slate.  What will you choose to put into your cleared space?

The second idea came from Andrew Harvey and Mirabai Starr and it was to actively connect with nature to experience a direct visceral awareness of the interconnectedness of all life.  To experience our role as elements of nature and understand our responsibility as part of the nature community.  We must connect with life itself.  Honor it.  Respect it.  Be it. 

The Sacred Feminine is about interconnection. We are intertwined.  We are interdependent and we must learn to act for the well-being of the whole. We are one whole interconnected, interdependent web of life.  Our choices must be for the good of the whole. We must live with that awareness and come from that interconnectedness. 

The Sacred Mother is in protection mode.  She is destroying what is no longer needed and is revealing a treasure of sacred actionthat if we align with this treasure, we can birth a new way of being.  A connected, harmonious being with a deep awareness of our role in nature, a being who honors nature and has the awareness that nature includes each of us.  We are in a mutation, an evolutionary critical point of core change, We must stay flexible, aware, and focused on the highest good for all.

This is a time of rebirth.  One version of me is over and a new one is being born.  When I deepen my awareness of and connection with the central core of nature, my life will transform. My expectations will change.  The results will be different.  They will be expansive and inclusive.  I will identify and fill my role of sacred activism in the unfolding world.  

We each have the potential to make a difference. To change lives. What is your role and how has it changed? How is it still changing?

We have the potential to change. We have the potential to grow. We have the potential to learn. Those of us who are aware are moving into a higher energy field for our work in the coming year.  The opportunity is broad and deep.  The responsibility is great.  We can keep expanding our potential as we expand our awareness of our deep interactive connection with All That Is.

It is time to birth a new Self.  A Self who is aware of our connection with all living things, a Self who take responsibility for supporting and encouraging and protecting others.  A Self whose responsibly is to honor and protect nature and her cycles and a Self who is stepping into our role as Light Bearers, lighting a path of raised awareness and interconnection. 

We are to build a relationship with the natural world and live by her unfolding cycles of birth and growth and death and birth and growth and death.

This is about building a deep-seated spiritual connection with nature – the natural ebb and flow of intertwined cycles.  We are to listen and learn and live by the cycles and rhythms of nature. 

Give up what you know and simply listen. Let the Sacred Feminine teach you about inclusion and love and sacred caring. Our new way of being is evolving.  Pay attention and make room for major change.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I consciously move into deeper connection with nature. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Examine your life choices carefully and lay aside beliefs and actions that no longer serve you or the world. 
  • Spend deep introspective time in nature, listening and learning, and begin to live your life in unfolding cycles of natural evolution.

===INNER WORK===

The Power of Cycles

When we understand that all of nature moves in cycles, we can approach our life choices from a more inclusive viewpoint. We learn to identify the specific cycles we are in. We learn to identify what phase of each cycle we are in. And here we stand – in an intertwined connection of cycles in various stages. It’s an interesting balancing act to keep track of where we are.

Each time a cycle comes around, it brings in a slightly different version of the experience because cycles also move in upward spirals. So you come back to a particular point in the cycles but at a higher level. That means you have new choices to make because you have a new awareness. It means that you can see what worked and what didn’t work. What do you build upon? What did you discard? How has your vision changed?

Cycles encourage growth. They teach us the ebb and flow of giving and taking.  Cycles of repetition helps me own a process or an idea as I shape it to fit my own being-ness.

Repetition expands my understanding of the objective of the cycle. Repetition makes certain I understand its purpose, and those with whom I interact also understand it.  There are some core ideas that need to be repeated, that are foundational.  

When a cycle begins, we get to explore and evaluate and make our choices.  When cycles end, we look at how far we have come and closely choose what we need to release and leave behind.  We identify what needs to be explored more deeply. And with each turn of the cycle we chose to leave some of the beliefs behind. Be aware of cycles and let them unfold and guide you. Cycles are about letting go. Cycles are about lessons learned and lessons still to learn. Listen and look for the new pathways that are unfolding.  Then choose a new path or continue your journey of discovery on the path you are on. 

Focus Your Focus

I used to love Final Week in college. There were no classes, only the scheduled exams. I had the opportunity to review all that I had learned during that semester and put it together in a cohesive understanding of all of those details. During final week, we were able to study all over our sorority house. Everyone was quiet. Everyone was studying.

What I loved was the ability to focus on one subject at a time.  To understand the overview and really own the detail and the lessons. I love the ownership of the material that overview gives me.

As you move through life, don’t spread yourself too thin. Spend time with one facet at a time until you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed or not or exactly what steps to take next. Otherwise, you’ll feel overwhelmed. And we don’t want that.  

Perhaps you pick just one idea to advance each day. That should be doable. That definitely will move you forward. Choose an action. Take that action. Notice the results of that action. Evaluate.  Make a new choice.

Be choosy. I love to learn. But there comes a point where I’m full up. I can’t learn anything more at that particular moment. So I have to pass on things. I have to be discerning.  I have to give myself permission to not explore some of the interesting topics that show up, simply because I am full up or have other priorities.  Give yourself permission to not do something. Give yourself permission to take one step at a time. Give yourself permission to stop and look around and consider your choices. And give yourself permission to abandon the project that no longer takes you in the direction you want to go. Be discerning. Make your choices based on your overall over-arching objective.

Honor What You Can’t Do

The phrase I wanted to write about was to “come from a place of inclusiveness.”  But I can’t begin to do that.  The division is too great, the choices too dramatic and harmful.  People are making choices not remotely understood by me. I am wrestling with separation and I am wrestling with despondency because the divide seems so extreme and the danger so great.  

I listened to a lot of the Wisdom Summit talks and found several ideas that help me.  One is that this is a healing process and first we have to drain the wound.  That means all the ugliness and poison have to be exposed and released so the planet and its inhabitants can heal. And that takes me back to the inclusiveness that I can’t do yet.  I am searching for my own way to move through this cleansing and clarification.  I can only work on my own awareness and walk my own path with integrity.  I can do that. 

I go to my Still Point.  I let all my actions and responses come from the center of my being.  I go deep within. I use all my senses.  And I sit in my heart to heal. 

A Masked Thought

I can imagine wearing my Covid protection mask and have someone come bully me about it. I could simply turn and say, “I’m wearing my mask to keep you safe.”  I wonder what their response would be.  What a different place to come from.  Let’s take care of each other.

Another Way of Being

If someone showed you another path, would you go exploring? Would you step off the main road that you were on and go adventuring on a side road? Would you take a path less traveled? What would make you do that? What would be the incentive? Or would it just respond to the joy of learning something new? We are being asked to step off this old path and find our way into a new level of being. It is about being the collective consciousness. The cosmic consciousness. It is about living our life from a place of wholeness and inclusiveness. It’s not so much about the detail as it is about the inner work we are to do. The raising of our awareness. The raising of our consciousness. The raising of our expectations. Holding High Watch for the world. But most of all being open to exploring this new unfolding era of the Sacred Feminine. Where is she leading us? What is she offering us? It is time to step off the path onto a new high road?

===OUTER WORK===

Release and Move On

I have a pattern working with my podcasts that has in it a step of releasing and moving on. I write a draft. I wait a few days. I write a second draft. I usually have what I want in three drafts. And then there it sits. And the collection of drafts that are ready to record grows larger.  Not finished.  Not out the door – but ready to record.  For me. recording the podcast is releasing it and moving on. Even though I still have to edit it and publish it, the concept, the words are locked in.  I have completed my exploration of that idea and can move on to explore other concepts.

What kind of signal do you give yourself that it’s time to move on? You’ve done enough work on that particular situation or that specific idea? What is the signal you give yourself to let go of an idea for the work or even the whole scope of work and move on? Completion is good. Releasing clears the path for going on a new adventure.

Be Like Water 

Water is flexible.  It changes with the environment it finds itself in. It is reshaped by its passageways. It moves rapidly or slowly depending on the slope it finds itself on.  It moves one grain of sand at a time with persistence. Be like water and let your pathway unfold.

Search deeper into the cycles of your life to reach for new ways to be and do and think in order to open up unexplored space in this unfolding new era. Then move forward with the agility of water.

The Need to Prune

I sensed movement outside my window and looked out to see my wonderful weeping birch tree being severely pruned. We’re talking men with 30-foot poles with clippers on the end reaching up to cut off branches and allowing them to fall to the ground.  This happens every year but it’s always a surprise to see how the growth of that tree has begun to cut out sunlight in my apartment. I can suddenly see more of the sky with the Midwestern clouds that I love. The plants in my house will get more sun because the branches have been trimmed. But I did like the lovely waving branches of the longer version. Things grow stronger and taller when you prune away what has grown too much. Pruning actually encourages new growth. What needs pruning in your life? What clutter do you need to clear out of your home? What projects are superfluous?  Pruning encourages growth. What do you need to trim out of your life to make room for new growth?

Oh yes, the workman cleaned up the branches and turned them into chips to be turned into compost.  The cycle continues.

The Confines of a Calendar

I gaze at little squares with numbers that signify the days that are yet to unfold.  How odd to have a square represent an unfolding life experience. Do we live our life in boxes or do we live our days as if we were floating on an ocean being carried hither and yon by the underlying currents?  I like that image, floating under a blue sky, fluffy clouds shape-shifting overhead, allowing myself to be carried wherever my day takes me.  

Let the currents of life carry you through your days and enjoy the view.

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Create Reflective Moments

I have a small reflective journal on my computer.  It’s in part of a document called “Action” that I have on my desktop and use to track all sorts of things.  But what I have begun to do is journal a bit in it each day.  I only keep one week going at a time, but I can look back and see what I learned or accomplished the week before.  But the reason I suggest some form of a daily journaling habit is the power of reflection, acknowledgement, and gratitude. Journaling lets us remember what happened, what worked, what changed, what was not particularly successful. It helps us notice the surprises and the gifts. It’s a moment of gratitude and appreciation and self-reflection and self-honoring.  It’s a moment of reflective review of my day.  It doesn’t take long but it does help me become more aware of the messages and opportunities that day offered and honored the gifts I gave to the world. Journal a bit in reflection each day.

===DISCOVERIES ===

In the August Transmutation News, Sandra Ingerman shares her ideas on the difficulty we have when looking at how human consciousness has evolved.

Sandra writes:

“We are seeing so many changes on the planet and in the collective consciousness. There are a lot of people still stuck in illusions of life that keep us separated from each other and the web of life. But in the spiritual world we are making progress. Some are disappointed in how much progress is being made…

In our culture we want immediate change. And we know in nature change can happen so quickly. And in some ways consciousness in the spiritual community is changing rapidly. 

Meanwhile some people are getting more lost in the illusion and the energies of division and fear. Change in nature happens in its own perfect timing – a teaching we must surrender to.”

Sandra goes on to talk about her own journey of letting go and how that helped to bring her into a place of consistently emanating the higher energies of love and light, and feeling peace.

A choice is simply a decision to go exploring.  You choose, you take a few steps, you look around, and see where you are.  What better opportunity to learn than to make new choices!

=== DEEPER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

Dependability

The Oracle card I drew for us is dependability. It shows two women facing and touching hands in mutual support. Support is a major aspect of dependability. You are there when others need you. You do the job you say you will do. You show up on time. You are reliable. Are you dependable in all areas of your life? Or do you sort of slough off a few of them? Perhaps focus on being a more dependable friend in the coming weeks. 

Sacred Earth Cards

===CARA’S CORNER===

Shift Your Gaze

Change unfolds itself to me gradually. I find a phrase that draws me to it.  I explore it a bit by writing a paragraph for this newsletter. Sometimes I turn and explore the idea in a podcast to learn what I feel about it and how I might bring it into my journey. I write to learn.

And then one day my new direction becomes clear and I begin to make major changes  

Such a change happened in the past few weeks.  Here’s my new who-and-do-what statement: 

“I help spiritual explorers find powerful and creative ways to connect with and explore their own cosmic consciousness. I help transformational leaders who are now stepping forward to understand their role and their potential participation so that we can build the bridges and pathways that guide us all into the New Consciousness.”

It’s a narrower focus and a deeper scope and it helps me select the topics I am to explore next. 

How has your role changed?  Where is your focus now?  What does that mean you will do differently?

Redefine Yourself in the Changing World

July 23, 2021 By Cara Lumen

Redefine Yourself in the Changing World

Creating Conscious Connection

Ashe
(“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.

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.

===MY DEEPER SONG  ADVENTURES ===

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.

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.

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.
