Are You Afraid of Change?

Are You Afraid of Change?

Deepening Our Interaction with Cosmic Consciousness

If I am right, being afraid of change explains a lot of the negativity that is going on in the planet today. Why do you want to keep something the way it is? Because you are afraid of change. Change might make you ineffective or irrelevant. I’m not sure we are aware of that, but I think fear is one core issue for a lot of what is going on in our our world today.

Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community helps spiritual explorers find powerful and creative ways to connect with and explore their own cosmic consciousness. She helps 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 to the New Consciousness.

Finding Balance in Today’s Dramatically Changing World

Living Your Deeper Song

The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

Many of us are looking for ways to survive, handle, change, and live with the intense negativity that is erupting on our planet. How do we protect ourselves? How do we change the energy of the world?

First, we clear our own thoughts and expectations.

As I move through dismay, shock, disbelief, and the volatile energy that is erupting from some humans, I have to protect myself from it. I have to set up my Transformative Shield. (Create a Transformative Energy Shield for Protection.) I have to remove all the negative thoughts I have and fill them with white light. How do I even do that?

I go within. I move into meditation and contemplation and stillness and connect with that place within where there is the serenity of wholeness and the feeling of centeredness, of being cosmic consciousness itself. One. One energy. One whole energy. One pure energy. I am Cosmic Energy. You are a Cosmic Energy. We are Cosmic Energy. Know that. Be aware of that.

We must monitor everything we project into the outer world.

Monitor your thoughts. Monitor your beliefs. Monitor your expectations. Move to that place within where you know we are all Cosmic Consciousness and Pure Energy. Pure inclusive loving Energy. What we see around us are fragments breaking off. Let them go. Be responsible for what you are projecting into the world. In every moment. Clear out the negative thought and expectations that are within you and make room for the stillness and serenity of light. Be present in your most spiritual state.

Trust your inner wisdom. Follow your inner guidance.

You know to let go of negative thoughts. You know to be kind to others. You know how to raise your focus to the highest good for all. Do that. Exist in a state of light awareness that radiates out through your own being and on out into the world. Be the light that you are.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I walk the world as Loving Light.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

Become aware of the thoughts and ideas that you are allowing into your life and make changes. Choose to focus on the positive. Keep looking for the expressions of higher consciousness and acknowledge it.
Notice how you feel when you resonate at the highest level of your being.
Keep doing it.

How to Deepen Your Cosmic Consciousness

A Deeper Song Adventure

It was a powerful realization for me when I came to understand that we are in fact cosmic consciousness. It is not out there. It is who we are. And because we are in human form we are not as aware of it as we could be. And I set out to change that.

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.

===INNER WORK===

Efforting versus Unfolding

What if you stopped efforting? What if you stopped trying to make things happen? What would be left is simply allowing life to unfold. At its own pace. In its own way. In its own good time.

No more forcing. No more have-to list. No more deadlines. Simply observing and responding to the openings that unfold. What a gentle way to live. We can do that.

Explore New Pathways

There is a big difference between walking briskly and purposefully down a path or meandering while looking around and stopping to observe and savor the smells and sounds. When you slow down, you might even discover a side path that leads you on an intriguing adventure.

We have a tendency to make lists and line things up and get things done. But what if, in every action we take, we stand at the entrance to that activity and look around. Look around at what has gotten bigger, or what has gotten smaller, or what new opportunity has shown up. Pausing to observe is a powerful practice.

Look for changes you are to make. The first time I used a walker my body was super sore – until the next day I realized its purpose was to steady me, not support me, and I needed to make the rest of my muscles do their work again. I was asking too much of this new path, and I was not doing my part.

Experiment with possibilities. The Transcendental Meditation I am establishing in my spiritual practice is exceedingly powerful, but I have not found the exact right time for it. Too early in the morning and I am restless. Too late in the day and I take a nap in my chair. I need to adventure and explore to find the right places to insert Transcendental Meditation into my life cycle.

Get the right tools to do the job. With my new walker, I can more easily take out the trash and get my mail. So those no longer are big perceived barriers for me, because I have the right tools for the job.

Be selective. Go down only the paths that call the most to you. I am currently full up of online classes. And yet there is an advanced Qigong course that I own but have not competed but really want to learn and incorporate it into my life. Be selective. Choose what calls to you, what will move you forward the most effectively, and what serves your passion. Do that.

Explore new pathways every day. The Universe awaits you.

===OUTER WORK===

Our Unfolding Role

We are being shown two opportunities simultaneously. We are being given our individual role and we are being shown our collective role. They may be similar, and they may be quite different. It is up to us to listen and explore and try out the ideas that present themselves and make our choices. We are being shown two paths at the same time. That of explorer, and that of way-shower. They may be similar and they may be quite different.

One of my jobs is to explore and share what I discover. My role is explorer and way-shower, not do-er. Parts and pieces call to people throughout the world and they act or not. I have a small group of friends I interact with regularly in mutual support. But my role with them is quite different from my role when I focus on the larger job of the Transformative Community.

We get to do both – our personal path and our role in Transformative Community. They may be quite different. And they may be intertwined. Listen to your inner voice. Pay attention to the opportunities that are presented. And notice the choices you are strongly called to make. Follow your individual calling. Lead the way.

Small Persistent Steps

I am currently working with a physical therapist and the major lesson is small, correctly done, persistent repetitions. Over time.

As I work to incorporate these small correctly done physical movements into my life, I use the triggers that are already there – sitting at my desk, drinking my tea, going to get the mail, preparing meals. When I consciously become aware of using a change in focus as a trigger to strengthen my body, my practice becomes more frequent and deliberate. And effective. What habit are you establishing and what prompts do you use to remind you?

Change is as simple as remembering to – well, change.

Find Your Own Reason for Change

It slips up on you, no longer pushing yourself even a bit, letting things go until the project is daunting. Change is easier when you make it in small increments.

As I move through physical therapy, the exercises are simple, but the point is to do them correctly and consciously and regularly. That’s what builds up strength and alignment.

Be conscious. When I take a moment to straighten my torso, everything else shifts and is asked to do its job more efficiently. That focused moment of conscious awareness has huge impact.

Persistence is important in creating change. I need to stand up more, walk further, stand up taller, walk with more awareness. Take persistent action in order to establish a desired pattern. Know your goal and keep going for it.

Change Your Expectation

What if you painted something blue and it turned orange instead? That would certainly change your decor. Life is a bit like that. We make a choice, we apply it and sometimes something totally unexpected shows up.

This is one of those times where nothing is showing up like it used to. What is our new role for ourselves? What is our new role in the collective? Who do we serve? Who do we help? How do we need to change ourselves?

Those are partially decisions to be made and they are partially circumstances that show up. If a situation touches my heart and calls to me, I must explore and see how I am to participate and contribute. When an insightful thought pops into my mind that raises me to a whole new level of awareness, I must follow it – explore and decide if it is for me and how I am to participate in its unfolding.

On one hand, we all have our personal journeys to unfold, but a new path is opening up for those of us who are aware. It is the path of the Higher Collective, the Light Bearers. We are being called into service as Holders of the High Awareness of Ultimate Oneness. We must experience that oneness in our own lives and turn and experience it as a collective. One energy.

When you see your role as part of a larger purpose, how does that role change? Be open. Go exploring. And enthusiastically participate in the Collective Change.

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Take Small Steps

Ease your way into change. Try out a new path in small steps. Savor it as you go. Look and listen and respond to what shows up. Pay attention to the nuances.

The first night after I got my walker, my body was super, super sore. It was not entirely about how I was using the walker, it was what I was not doing that was causing the pain. A walker is there to steady you, not hold you up. I had been using a cane and I was leaning on the walker too heavily and my shoulders hurt. A walker is there to hold you steady while you move your body more effectively and with more assurance. But you have to consciously engage and stand tall. It is not a replacement for the work you and your body must still do.

It’s fine to use some support when you are beginning to walk a new way on a new path, but consciously work to stand tall and strong on your own. Use support to build strength and stamina one mindful step at a time.

===MY DEEPER SONG ADVENTURES ===

Be Joyfully in Service

“I was so excited to bring you this I left my mask in the car, I’ll be right back,” said my Physical Therapist Michelle. She had brought me a walker! Don’t you love it when people love their work!

As someone on the receiving end of her help, it is meaningful to me that Michelle loves her work, loves being creative about how she helps people regain their physical strength and flexibility. We’re talking about teaching people very basic and easy strengthening and flexibility exercises. Michele understands how all the bones and muscles and nerves work together in the body and uses that deep knowledge to help others restore some semblance of self-sufficiency to their life.

What are you excited about doing in your own work? How creative are you in teaching others what you have to share? What do you do for others that makes you feel deeply in service?

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Let Go of How It Was

It’s always more comfortable and feels safer when we cling to the familiar. But in this rapidly and dramatically changing world, we cannot do that. We must let go. We must move on. We must leave some beliefs and exceptions behind.

This is the period of the next generation and those of us who have lived on the planet awhile need to get out of the way. Our ways are outdated. We are behind in understanding and working with what is evolving. And this next unfolding is not ours to design. It is ours to support and encourage others, and make room for what they create for themselves.

What if you were faced with a cleared plot of land upon which you could build anything you wanted or grow anything you wanted or live on it in any way you want. How would you design your life? Don’t bring along any of your old baggage. Enter this new land as a child full of wonder, learning from your current surroundings and the opportunities it presents. Observing, making new connections, trying out new approaches. Very flexible. Very experimental. Quite open to change. That’s how we get to approach our “next”.

Be an explorer in the unfolding new world.

===OUR UNFOLDING ROLE===

Focus on Raising the Energy

It’s easy to get pulled down into the detail and be mired there. But how we survive is to focus on raising our awareness of our existence in the collective consciousness. Not everyone can hear that or do that or wants to. But when I get an email in response to a post or a newsletter that says, “You spoke to me”, I know I am assisting others simply by staying focused on exploring and learning and keeping my energy focused on the whole. It is not my job to focus on the details of certain levels of existence. I have my tribe. We have each other. And my role is to support us in being transformational leaders, in expanding our own consciousness, in building bridges to this new evolving future that is filled with light and collective understanding. Focus on where you want to go. And don’t look back.

How Are You to Be In Service?

Look back over your life at those life-altering moments when you gained a new awareness of your role and its possibilities. Three come to mind immediately for me.

When I asked an ex-priest where you go for help if you don’t believe God is out there somewhere but is actually deep within you, he said, “You dig deeper within yourself, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” That was a major step into a lifetime of self-sufficiency.

20 years later, walking across Central Park my friend said, “We are rocks, others depend on us.” I asked, “Who do we depend on?” “Other rocks” was her answer. I understood.

In the past ten years or so, I see myself as a spiritual explorer who is to share what she discovered with others. Now I am looking for my role in the Unfolding Planet. It is still about exploring and sharing what I find. But there is also a calling to encourage others to raise their expectation of their own role in this unfolding new era. How I do that is evolving, but my role is clear, join with others to raise the Awareness of Oneness in those who can hear it.

Stay open for the doors that are opening for you and walk through them. What is your role in this rapidly moving world and how is it changing?

===CARA’S CORNER===

The Empty Reed

My flute holds empty space and yet when I offer it my breath it sings a song.

The wind plays a melody of rustling leaves as it moves through the trees.

There are sighs of relief. Sighs of ecstasy. Sounds of laughter. All from our breath and the reed of our body.

What songs do you play on your body instrument? Joyous songs, thoughtful songs, introspective songs, sad songs, playful songs? You are the player and have control of the music you share. What are you playing and would you like to change your tune???

Be empty and let spirit speak through you.

===SING A DEEPER SONG===

The Cycles of Change

The first yellow leaves fall to the ground. It is the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another.

The first yellow leaves fall to the ground. It is the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another. Change wraps her cloak around my shoulders and I settle in.

The first yellow leaves fall to the ground. It is the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another. Change wraps her cloak around my shoulders and I settle in. We will go adventuring, Change and I. I wonder what we will discover.

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 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.

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.

Journey to the Sacred Feminine

A Deeper Song Adventure

We contain both the sacred masculine in 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 identified more with a sacred masculine, but now I understand that the secret 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.
