Stay Balanced

Living Your Deeper Song

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

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the rapid and dramatic events playing out all over the planet. There can be a feeling of helplessness at the sheer hugeness of the destruction and dramatic change that is happening on so many levels. It is a far-reaching and necessary change that is taking place in order to lead us to a new level of understanding and inclusiveness and interconnectedness. A new level of being. It is a huge step and it is a bumpy ride.

There is a trust factor we must develop here. As we stay focused on increasing our awareness of everything as one all-inclusive energy, we must monitor our beliefs and keep going in the direction of this unexpected and unpredictable unfolding, trusting the Universe to both guide us and guard us.

It helps to remember that we don’t need to completely understand what is happening right now, nor do we need to be able to predict the future. Our job is to deepen our own vibrational awareness of the whole universe being one interconnected energy. We immerse ourselves in the vibration of oneness by monitoring our thoughts and expectations, expanding our inner inclusive awareness with meditation, journaling, and reading words that inspire us, that help us move us to that place of All-ness that is already within us, just waiting for us to choose to reside in it. Move your being into Centered Oneness. All is well in our world.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I move within to find the wholeness and unity of our Cosmic Oneness.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

Sit in meditation and experience yourself as absorbed in the vast Oneness, the wholeness of All-That-Is.
As you sit in wholeness ask how you are to express that wholeness in your life here on the planet.
Listen and respond as you are called.

The Two Vital Sides of Your Spiritual Practice

A Deeper Song Insight

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 spirit 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.

===INNER WORK===

We Never Know What Lives We Touch

John came to fix my refrigerator. He fixes everything around here. When he was finished he told me that when he sweeps the halls on Thursday and I am playing my flutes, he stops, leans up against the wall, and just listens.

I had no idea.

I showed him my flutes and when he emails me I will send him links to where I got them.

His comment prompted me to deepen my own experience by getting out the drumming tracks I have that both stimulate and inspire my flute playing. I had a lovely session and vowed to use the drumming tracks more often.

We both gained from that share. You just never know how we touch the lives of another and how their life will touch you back.

Identify Your Path

Because I am in the process of change, I write things down so I can clarify my thoughts and notice my progress. I am using the Fall Equinox to begin to chronicle this next period of personal observation. Because it is a time of harvest I can see what I have grown this year and it is an opportunity for me to be very still and listen to the inner change that is happening within me. I’m getting insights about where I’m headed, but the path has yet to be revealed.

Create a place on your desktop to capture your illuminating thoughts as you journey through your day and review them on a regular basis in order to to deepen your understanding of the unfolding message the universe keeps offering.

Here’s my current understanding of my unfolding path: “Your task is to develop your intuition and spiritual awareness. Successful navigation of this leads to a new sense of oneness with the universe.”

I’m up for that!

Define Your Role

A close friend is evolving as she changes into the new role she will take in her retirement. As we look for words to describe what she is going to do I realized that how we are willing to define ourselves is important. How we see ourselves can be uplifting or it can hold us back, tie us down. For instance, it took me a while to accept that I was indeed a “spiritual explorer”. The table “metaphysical philosopher” took some growing into.

Try on a descriptive name and see how it feels. Explore and see how the phrase feels and fits. Sometimes we have to grow into a title we want or choose.

How do you define your work, your place of service, and does it need to change to allow for more room for expansion?

===OUTER WORK===

Enrichment

I’ve been watching a lot of Animal Planet lately and much of the conversation is about how to add enrichment to the lives of the animals. That often means mental stimulation or a new addition to their habitat that encourages physical development or natural instincts. So I begin to look at the word enrichment for me. “The act of imposing or enhancing the quality or value of something.” I wondered what I actively chose to do that enriches my life.

Enrichment can be about learning something. It can be about adding to something that is already established. I have added more TM meditation time and it is enriching my spiritual practice. I work at adding forms of movement to enrich and empower my body to move more easily. I’m listening to more classical music to affect my mood.

I want to establish a time for more enriching study. I am working on adding focused strengthening movement in my day – like a regular Qi Gong practice. I have room for a lot of new and stimulating choices. I take time to go exploring and see what resonates.

What areas of your life need enrichment? What are you going to do to deepen your experience and expansion?

Are You Spending Your Time Wisely?

I’m not. I waste time I spend time doing things that don’t really move me forward. I need to change that.

Begin with your priorities. I now have a physical therapist coming weekly for a few months to help me stand up straighter so I know that I want to consciously change my schedule to take advantage of that support and the exercises she gives me to perform.

I want to adjust my day to include a more focused meditation period that does not end up as napping in a chair. I want to establish a learning period each day in which I read the books I have chosen to deepen my awareness and insights. I always have time to write because I love to do that. I am driven to create and record and edit my podcasts on a timely basis as part of my self-expression. I just have to make room for and find the prompts for new things – physical movement and meditation. Talk about contrast…

What do you want to make room for? Look over your days to see how you need to adjust your schedule and identify some marker/prompts to help you fit in all that you want to do.

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Send Healing Vibration to Your Body

It’s probably because my body is rather rickety at this point in time, but I am using more sound healing and directing it to specific places on and in my body. We always put an intention with a humming sound like the intention of balancing, of clearing out, or strengthening. Use an intentional hum to send focused energy to both known and unknown parts of your body. Sound goes everywhere. When I hum to my hips I know that it’s going to get bones and cells and muscles and ligaments – whatever needs healing. How are you working to self heal your body?

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

The Way It Was

“The world that is dying also contains within it the future seeds of a new world.” – Jean Houston.

Things will not ever be the way they were and that is a good thing. That means we are learning and exploring and evolving. This is a time of dramatic evolution and we must welcome it and explore the many unfolding opportunities.

Be like a wet dog shaking her whole body to get the water off. Shake out your life. Shake off the doubts and stagnation of your life and enjoy a clean start.

Everything is changing and we must change with it. We have beliefs and choices within these revolving circumstances that we must question – like letting go of methods and ideas that are harmful or obsolete or have flat out been proven to be incorrect. Welcome each day with a fresh look and a lot of questions. Is this how I want to feel? Is that what I believe? What have I learned today that I want to build on, to absorb into my life? Let go of the way it was and start building the way it is going to be.

===CARA’S CORNER===

Weakened from Disuse

The physical therapist said that the upper part of my legs were stiff from lack of use. That made a lot of sense. I sit a lot. What else have I let move into disuse in my life as I age? I’m not walking as much. I don’t go anyplace because I no longer have a car. Covid sort of stopped the social activities. I have some work to do in order to create a viable day that is balanced and contains all the elements I need. The physical activity. The interaction. The spiritual activity. The creative choices.

What areas of your life have become weakened by lack of use and how are you rectifying that?

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

The Forgotten Corner

It lay in the corner alone and forgotten.

It lay in the corner alone and forgotten. When I finally noticed it, I knew I wanted to bring it back into my life.

It lay in the corner alone and forgotten. When I finally noticed it, I knew I wanted to bring it back into my life. I turned, scooped it up, and gave it a great welcoming hug.

All is again well in my world.

The Call of Curiosity

July 9, 2021 By Cara Lumen

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.

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.

To learn more, listen to the podcast: How to Hold High Watch for the Planet

===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.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

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.

Consider Revisiting

Your Role as a Visionary Harp

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.

The Lesson is in the Journey

June 12, 2021 By Cara Lumen

The Lesson is in the Journey

Creating Conscious Connection

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

I was looking for my “next” in a journey. And I got the message that the lesson is not in my destination, the lesson is in the journey itself. What I learn. What I choose. What I do. How I change.

I got a new power animal this month in my journeys and it was a camel. I’ve never had a camel before. And the message to me is that what counts right now is the journey itself. The persistent, put one foot in front of the other, make conscious choices journey.

I have received some new awareness recently – partially because I went to a naturopath and was given some new choices to make – which almost immediately made a noticeable difference in my physical life. One day I didn’t have this information. And the next day I did. I made new choices and my life changed.

That’s sort of how change happens. An opportunity shows up, we make a new choice and off we go in a different direction.

I changed some habits and found that I had been beating myself up for some time because I had not been taking certain steps to care for my physical well-being. I have been blaming myself for failing and I was not exactly aware of it. So while the choices I was making were not particularly good. The emotional damage I was doing to myself was even more detrimental. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for not being aware. Forgive yourself for not making wiser choices. Yes, there is a lesson in every choice and a consequence whether you do or do not make a choice. But we make choices that either give us a lesson or take us to a meaningful next step. The point is to keep exploring and keep choosing.

So I watched my mind give me a hard time where it doesn’t need to give me a hard time. Every choice bore lessons I needed to have in order to move forward. Some choices worked. Some did not. That was part of the lesson. Don’t beat yourself up for the choices that do not work out well, it was all part of your learning process. Celebrate the choices you make that work out well. Release those that do not as lessons learned. Keep exploring and making mindful changes and your life will move forward in a direction that supports your life purpose. Keep moving. Keep exploring The Lesson is in the Journey.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

Journey to a Chamber of the Seven Sacred Rays

A Deeper Song Adventure

After working with each of the seven sacred rays individually, it occurred to me that we can create a journey for ourselves that allows the rays to speak to us, to choose us, we just need to show up. So in my journey world, I created the Chamber of the Seven Rays. This Deeper Song Guided Journey to the Chamber of the Sen Rays is an opportunity to experience yourself as the all-encompassing cosmic energy that you are. It is an opportunity to explore your infinite self. It will deepen your awareness of yourself as pure vibration momentarily expressing in human form.

The Song You Sing Today

Each day is like a packed Symphony Hall and we are on stage to offer our best performance. We have tuned our own instrument. We have written our own songs. We have practiced living in harmony. And each day is an opportunity to create sacred music. How are you doing with that one? Is your instrument in tune? Have you written any new melodies lately? Who is listening to your music? How is it affecting them? Keep your instrument tuned and sing your individual song to the world in celebration of an increasingly aware life.

All That We Are

“All that we are, is the result of what we have thought.

The mind is everything.

What we think, we become.” -Buddha

===OUTER WORK===

Harness the Lessons of Cycles

Nature teaches us the power of cycles. The ebb and flow. Cycles are about letting one thing step in front to lead for a while and then make room for another new cycle to step forward and take the lead. In the V formation that migrating birds use, you see each birds is actually cutting the force of the wind for the bird behind it. And the birds periodically change leaders to give the head guy a rest. They change their formation. They shift their place of service for the benefit of the overall group.

There’s a time for everything and everything is perfect in its own time. But how can we tell that? The universe always points the way. We just have to pay attention. And we have to be willing to stop going in the direction we are headed, pause, notice what has changed, what we have learned, where we are in the cycle and reconsider re-chose, and follow the guidance of the cycle, of nature. What cycles are being shown to you? Are you paying attention?

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Life Aft4er Death

I learned about the Michael Newton books in a shamanic class with Hank Wesselman. There are there books and I’m going to reread them. “Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives”, “Destiny of the Souls” and “Life Between Lives.”

He does past life regressions looking specifically for what happens between lives. We review our just-lived life, decide on our next move, and if we decide to reincarnate, we make some agreements, and in our soul pods we decide how were are to interact to help each other in that upcoming journey. We each have quite an adventure coming up when we leave this planet… There is more to do…

Space

If a plant is too crowded it cannot grow. If a closet is too full the clothes will wrinkle. We need to keep conscious space in our lives. That means embracing times when we have nothing planned. We simply are. We tune into ourselves and see what we need or want or feel like doing. Not what needs to be done, not what we planned to do, but what we feel like doing. What we want to do. What is calling to us within that reflective pans. What our inner voice says today. Create spaces in your life where you simply ask “What do I feel like doing?” Then do that.

Its gentle practices are intended to stimulate the flow of Qi, or life force, in the organ – cleansing the body’s digestive and elimination systems to supercharge your immunity and vitality.

My Qigong teacher, Daisy Lees is offering a Zang Fu Gon class at The Shift Network in a format of videos delivered all at once so you can self-pace and stay with one movement until you own it and have explored it’s benefits. Qi Gong is gentle to do and manifests powerful results.

Capture Your Insights

On my computer desktop, I have a easily acessed document that is titled “Write About”. It is where I put the phrases and sentences and concepts that seem profound to me, they seem core to my current process, and that I want to explore enough to be able to place them effectively in my life. They are core to my understanding, core in my evolution, and important that I share with you. Many of them come from my own journeys and my daily drawing of an oracle card. I write all those ideas in this one easy-to-access document and when I review it I can easily begin to work with some amazing insights that show up from my inner world that I can explore and apply to my outer world. We’re going to be considering some very interesting things. Stay tuned.

===OUR EVOLVING FUURE===

The Separating Paths

I have been saddened by this idea ever since I heard about it from Sandra Ingerman nearly two years ago. She said that some of us were to serve as a bridge to the new consciousness and not everyone would follow us. And that had to be OK. And she’s right. Not everyone is interested in or willing to or capable of accessing their higher consciousness. That apparently is not what they came into this world to do. But those of us who are aware of ourselves as high vibration have to live up to that. We are to incorporate that awareness into our lives as an example to others about one way to be on this planet at this point in time. So as I watch a certain stratum of humanity work at very low levels, choosing separation and accessing only the lower vibrations, I move into visions of inclusion. And the well-being of all. The highest good for all. And let the choices people make direct their path just as my conscious choices are dieting mine.

As I focus on continually accessing the high vibration we all are, how do I, in my own life, participate in this journey of awareness, of experiencing ourselves, as the highest consciousness? I make time to be in my Still Point. I play my flutes to nature and look out the window at the subtle lessons in nature’s acceptance of its constantly unfolding cycles. I listen to the ever-deepening teachings of nature, learning the lessons of patience and constant birth and growth and death. I have a job to do, to help anchor the awarenss of each of us as light beings. And trust that those who are meant to see themselves as light, will do so. I focus on the unfolding change before me, what is possible, what I want to help manifest.

In the long run, we have only our own lives to manage. So I can make sure that I have no prejudiced beliefs or expectations. As I raise my vision of humanity to become aware of those of us who are aware of ourselves as light beings who are focused on radiating light into a group consciousness, I help raise the consciousness of all who see it and recognize that higher consciousness in themselves. That’s our work as members of the Circle of Light Beings. Whether we are active transformational leaders or are simply participating by being the brightest light we can be individually, it’s all part of the same pattern of expanding awareness. As we shine light on a higher level of existence – others, those who are meant to, those who can – will see our brighter light and raise their gaze, and their expectations of what is possible and allow themselves to move into an awareness of themselves as an expression of the highest vibration. We are each to raise our consciousness and

live our lives as Loving Light.

That’s how we help change the world.

Lift Your Sails and Wait

Major changes are happening in my body. I like to think of it as healing. But healing hurts. I continue to make adjustments for my eyesight and my body’s reluctant flexibility. I don’t know what direction it’s going to take me in. All I know to do is lift my sails with as much love and flexibility and determination as I can muster and wait for the Winds of Change to fill them. Are you opening your sails to change?

Life-Changing Decisions

Looking back over your life you will see some choices that you made that were life-changing. Sometimes you were aware that they would be, like getting married or not getting married, and other times you just made the choice and didn’t think ahead. Whatever decision you make changes the trajectory of your life. You are wise if you make those choices thoughtfully and purposefully.

What do you need to change?

I’ve made some new physical choices that are going to influence my body and the support I do or do not get from it. I have made recent choices to willingly move into a new level of spiritual exploration that is just making itself known to me. I have no real idea where either of these choices will take me, but they are conscious and deliberate choices and they will change my life. What life-changing choices are you making today?

=== DEEpER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

Revolution

The oracle card I drew for us this time is “revolution.” As in cycles. Letting the ebb and flow of birth and growth and death simply unfold. Accepting the fact that we are always in a process of change because we were always in a cycle. Notice the flow of your life. See if you can identify where you are in process of the cycle. And be patient as your awarenss increases and your life unfolds to reveal new possibilities and new choices.

Sacred Earth Cards

===CARA’S CORNER===

I have begun to Journey to the Cosmic Ancestors to ask for guidance on this next phase of my journey. I am particularly seeking guidance about my role. It seems I’ve been promoted so to speak. Rather than seeing myself as an explorer of the unseen world, the Cosmic Ancestors suggested that I consider myself a translator of cosmic consciousness! Well wow! Not even sure what that means. But changing the focus of my role changes where I look for the answers and for the ideas for me to explore. Do you have an idea of your overarching purpose? Do you know or can you see why you are on planet earth at this particular time? As the world goes through a rough time, I moved more deeply into the unseen world, I reached out to Cosmic Consciousness and asked for guidance and how I could be in service. How is your role changing? Do you see yourself in a different place of service? Are you developing a different view of what is possible? Look closely at what is calling to you and answer the call.

I’m off to figure out how to be a translator for the cosmic consciousness.

It was sudden and unexpected – this shift.

It was sudden and unexpected. This shift of my awareness, this turn in my road takes me in a new direction.
