Insights From A Deeper Song

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

Transformation means to change.  It refers to a dramatic change, a life-altering change.  And the stimulus for change comes from many places – your own inner awareness, the actions of another toward you, the action others offer that inspire you.  

How do you become aware of your influence?  Some of it is obvious – the response of others to you, your presence, your contributions. 

They reflect back to you the energy you are putting out.  The people you come in contact with are your mirror. They reflect back to you the energy you are offering. How are you doing?

Transformational influence is a huge concept.  Influence that assists in transformation.  That’s a big responsibility.  Parents are a transformational influence on their children.  A boss can be a transformation influence on those they work with – how they encourage them, how they guide them. And of course, those who consciously work to help others along the path also create transformational change.  

We might want to begin with ourselves. How can we be a transformational influence on ourselves?  

I can expand elements of my spiritual practice. I can deepen my flute mediation. I can set aside more time to do the moving meditation of Qi Gong.  I can make up songs to nature or simply be with the wind in the branches of a tree.  I can cultivate my Still Point. And I can do more transformational breathing. 

Transformational influence begins with you working on yourself.  Then you understand how impactful it is, how helpful it is and then you turn and assist others.  

What kind of a transformational influence with you be today?


DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I am aware of my transformation influence today.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Examine the choices you have made so far today.  How they affected you. How they affected others.  See how your energy shifted with each choice. Decide what you will change moving forward. 
  • Notice the impact of someone or something on you this week.  It could have been through something you read or an actual interaction. How did it feel?  What did it change in you? 
  • Become more aware of the transformational exchanges in your life.

MY DEEPER SONG THIS WEEK

Our Ongoing Journey into the New Consciousness
An Exploration of the Unseen World

Our world is changing rapidly and dramatically and we have work to do in order to move into the New Consciousness that is emerging on our planet. We have to change. We have to choose what to leave behind and most of all, we have to keep raising our vibration….!

CREATIVE INTENTIONAL STIMULATION

Whether we realize it or not, when we seek and absorb new wisdom, we find that our perception of the world changes and that our minds open to possibilities we might not have considered before. 

That’s a lot to gain from a bit of intellectual exploring. I’m talking about spiritual exploration here, the kind that opens the door to vast realms of awareness and a new clarity of consciousness. That’s s a lot to gain from some intellectual exploration. 

So where do you begin?  That depends on what calls to you.  I love Stephen Mitchells’ translation of the Tao Te Ching.  I can read the Essential Rumi forever.  I am taking a class from Den Ming-Tao and I have read seven or eight of his books like 365 Tao.  Oh, and Emerson – Self Reliance comes to mind. 

Writing this inspires me to reread seem of these.  Each day, 20 minutes or so, and then take time to contemplate what I read.  I usually get inspired to write something.

Study to awaken.  Study to expand your awareness.  Study to open new portals to explore.  Every day create intentional stimulation. 

A fe of my favorites:

Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching 

Stephen Mitchell, The Second Book of Tao

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance

Kalhil Gibran, The Prophet

Essential Rumi, trs Coleman Barks

Outer Work

RETHINK YOUR POSITION

It was a simple change, really and it opens up so many possibilities.  Sometimes the simplest change can open up a vast new world of possibilities. 

I have kept my flutes by my desk but I moved them to a chair so I can look out the window when I play them. 

That change sent a bit of a ripple effect because that allowed me to do all sorts of rearranging around my desk surface.  Simple really. Where do you actually need something to be?  It can be a physical object or the timing of an action. Where do you play it so it is most useful and effective?

I also moved a plant out of my meditation area and I can now more easily reach the various instruments there. But I also moved my Kalimba Thumb Piano to that corner and that has allowed me to play her mellow and soothing songs more readily.  Moving things around can promote more effective usage. 

I keep tweaking my very casual schedule to fit the action with my mood.  I think I’ve spotted a few adjustments I can make that will allow me to accomplish what I need to in a time frame that I am willing to do it. Willingness is important…

Simplify.  I could, but I won’t have seasonal displays – put some things away for a season so I can enjoy and notice what I have out.  I don’t, but I could.  
Make a list of what you would like more of in your life. Make a list of what you could do with less of in your life.  Make some adjustments.  Rethink your positioning and make room for more of the good stuff!

***

PRACTICE

Everything you don’t practice regularly is difficult. Anything you’ve not yet had instructions and training in is difficult.

Let’s start with instructions.  There are instructions on how to do everything online, from making podcasts to taking a cutting from a plant to learning to play the native flute. What do you want to learn?  What do you need to know? 

The good thing about online learning is that you can explore and then go as deep as you are called. I have taken online classes in shamanism, drumming, Qi Gong, and native flu playing. I learned how to do podcasts online and how to make videos.  Everything you want to learn is online.  

Once you have decided what you want to learn and have had some instruction, you need to practice. When I first started editing in GarageBand again after four years away from podcasting, I was pouncing on the keyboard with a fair amount of tension.  As I got better, I am more relaxed and more efficient – because I have practiced.

Whether you want to learn something for fun or learn something for a purpose, first get instruction and then practice – a lot…

THE POWER OF DELETE  

Ok, this is a lame example, but I just figured out how to delete the junk file in my email and empty the trash there.  But most of all I figured out how to delete in the present moment, the 10-15 political emails that come in for instance.  It’s as simple as the delete key.  I just hadn’t been doing it.
So I’m looking at what else I could/should delete in my life the minute it shows up.  Negative thoughts, of course, uncertainty too. This new awareness helps me think to press delete on stuff that shows up in my daily life. 

But what about the junk file, the trash file.  What am I holding on to that needs to go?

I begin with my belief file  – what I believe I deserve and what I believe can happen.  I must check that out frequently.

Just notice all the “messages” you are getting and selectively use the delete key.  It will keep your “instrument” moving efficiently along. 

***

FLEXIBLE SPIRITUALITY

It’s really hard when you hold a particular set of spiritual beliefs, to make it OK for others to have their unique beliefs.  But that would make you right and them wrong. And that’s not how spirituality works.

During my senior year in college, as an elective, I took a Worlds Great Religions class and learned about religions I had never heard of.  My question, as a Christian then was how do I know I’m right? Well, guess what, we are all right and we have to make room in our hearts and our minds for everyone to develop their own spiritual path and beliefs.  There is no one way, but we are all going in the same direction, toward an awareness of our Oneness.  

When I moved into the world of energy healing, I began to learn the beliefs and techniques of other countries –  Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, acupressure, acupuncture, Bach flowers, reiki.  I learned of Dr. Imoto’’s water/sound experiments. I learned to send energy outside of time and space in reiki.  I immersed myself in New Thought as I became a practitioner and teacher in the Center for Spiritual Living.  I delved deeply into Taoism.  I explored and immersed myself in shamanism.  

All of these explorations are what make up my spiritual philosophy and they are uniquely mine because of the distinctive combination of philosophies that I have embraced and incorporated into my life.  As I continue to explore I find some ideas hold more appeal than others and I explore and embrace them.    

Our personal beliefs have developed thought-out our lifetime and have been shaped by our life experiences – who we learn from, what we experience.  They are uniquely ours.  

In order to live comparably, cohesively, and effectively, we have to allow each person to have their own beliefs without trying to foist ours on them.   Live and let live.  Build your faith on what you figure out, not what others tell you that you should believe. That’s a big one.  We never think to question the spiritual path we were put on by our parents and probably their parents before them. Give yourself permission to do that. As a unique, responsible spiritual being, question not just your beliefs but the source of your beliefs.  

For instance, I can no longer use the word “God” because it conjures up a judgmental father figure.  That doesn’t work for me.  But I love the idea of “Tao” as in we are all Tao.    

Choose your own spiritual path and let others chose theirs. If you feel disagreement, look more deeply at the foundation of the other person’s beliefs and of yours.  We are true, One. 

Spirality is a personal path, a personal choice, a personal awareness – for everyone. Give yourself space to spiritual explore and expand. 

***

OVERWHELM AND CONSCIOUS SELECTION

Everyone is offing a free summit now and I have moved into overwhelm.  It is clear I have to be selective.  I can’t do it all. I don’t want to do it all.  So how do I choose? 

I basically listen to my inner voice. I  knew I wanted to immerse myself in the Qi Gong summit and the Shamanism Summit and the Sound Healing summit.  And I did.  I managed about 15 speakers in each of them.  
Which is probably why I feel full up as more summits appear.  

I almost signed up for a monthly call but on a closer look at the content, it is not exactly what I want right now. It does not represent where I am on my journey where I am headed.

We need to be clear about our path.  It doesn’t mean we can’t go on detours, but it does help if we have a sense of our general basic direction so we don’t take so many detours.  

Can you tell the difference between something o need/want to learn and a bright shay object?  

You can when you become clear about or path, your purpose, your journey.  
I look back at what I wrote four years ago and I do not want to revisit those topics.  I own that information and those insights. I have absorbed it and my path has to lead me onward.  Know when you are finished with an aspect of your learning.  

Listen to your inner voice.  If a new idea or direction or summit calls to you, have a conversation with your inner voice, and figure out what you are going to do with the information you will take time to learn. 

I’m pretty much full up of sound healing – for now.  I am in the process of reestablishing my  Qi Gong practice.  I will always go to the Shamanism summits.  So while I  look over these multiple opportunities to hear more speakers and learn more things I daw my own personal line. I know where I am going and what I need to learn to keep on my path.  

Don’t let yourself be tempted by what is not aligned with your path. Be clear about where you are going, choose only those steps that move you forward and you will not feel overwhelmed.

OUR EVOLVING FUTURE

In my weekly class with shamanist Hank Wesselman, we journey.  This week our journey was about moving our anchor from the negative to the positive.  We had our Guides help us.  It was a fascinating journey. 

Where are you anchored?  We are surrounded by negativity and chaos.  Is that where you want to live?  To be?  Change is as simple as shifting your gaze.  What you look for you see. Keeping shining and saying and doing positive things.  Monitor your own words and thoughts and when a negative idea comes up, bop it on the head and send it on its way.  

In the journey, we metaphorically lifted our anchor out of the negative and symbolically placed our anchor, the thins that holds us steady, into the positive. 

You can do that.

CARA’S CORNER

The Too Handy Drawer

You know that drawer that is so handy that you stuff all manner of things in it?  We all have one  It contains things we don’t’ know what else to do with.  It may contain things we need to find in an emergency.  

Periodically we have to empty that nearby handy drawer and rethink what we put into it. We’re taking physical drawers as well as the cupboards of our life.  

My awareness came when I got a new set of nutritional herbs to take daily. I began to look at my kitchen to see what I was keeping close at hand and what could be put elsewhere.  My counters are pretty much a mess. 

The handiest, most relevant drawer is narrow but it held things I will never, ever use.  They had accumulated over time.  You know that that feeling.  So I emptied the drawer and made some decisions – how do I want to use that drawer, what do I use more often, and what was no longer relevant.  

That’s a good place to start with the handy drawer of life.  What have you stuck in it and what would you choose to keep in it if there were room? 
Let’s look at the metaphor of the handy drawer of a day. If I had an empty day what would I put into it?  What would l use the most, what is too big for the drawer of one day? 

In the case of my kitchen drawer, there were utensils I no longer used.  I put them in a box in my pantry.  

I rethought the purpose of the drawer.  I was using it for two things, kitchen scissors which I use a lot for my Amazon packages, and those rubber things to help you open jars. The rest got moved out to make room for what was more relevant.

I looked at the drawer I call my life.  I emptied it for a moment and made some decisions about what I wanted close at hand. 

And I discovered a great many things I could get rid of put in another place. 
For instance, I can no longer read print books because of my eyes.  Yet I still keep around me 50 or so books that are impertinent to me.  What if I gave a few away, bought Kindle versions of what I want to read (I’ve actually already done a bit of that) kept the ones that I still wanted to keep, and send the others on to a new life, a new person to teach? A very open-shelved bookcase would emerge.

A long time ago some wrote about giving stuff away.  The suggestion was to put everything from the kitchen (for instance) in the garage, and bring in only what you use.  After a month, give the tings in the grace away. The point was that you could probably replace the things you have given away for $20.

We hand on to so much that we no longer need. 

But what about your life?  Are there friends who no longer resonate with the path you are on that you keep spending time with? Perhaps you adjust that.

Are the things you have chosen to do do-able?  I feel better when I get ahead of myself with competed podcasts.  It makes for a more balanced week when I crate two at a time.  Look at your workload and see where you are stuck or overwhelmed and take time to figure out an approach to balance it.  

Rearrange your schedule. Working from home has eliminated a lot of travel time.  How consciously did you fill that time?  Did you move your exercise program to that freed up time in the morning?  Do you get up and do focused work before your family is up and take a nap in the afternoon?  
Know what you need.  Know what your body needs and create a flexible schedule that addresses your own rhythm.

Just as you clean our the no longer useful items from that handy drawer, recreate an empty day like a masterpiece, a balanced choice of work and play, and spiritual practice.  

Empty that handy drawer in your life that you put everything into and mindfully select what you want to keep close at hand.

What Lead Energy Are You Holding?

What Lead Energy Are You Holding?

Insights From A Deeper Song


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

One of the most powerful ways we can help change the world around us is to simply hold space. How we hold that space is what will affect the results that manifest. We need to create space for quiet, internal awareness so our Lead Energy is positive and compelling. Did you know that when you send love to your immune system the cells respond? That’s very powerful to know.  What happens when we send love to our planet? 

At any given moment ask “What is my Lead Energy?”   If it is not as positive and inclusive as you would like, change it.

I had not thought about my Lead Energy until I heard Daisy Lee talk about it on the Qi Gong Summit.  What energy is expressing itself in me right now? What energy is leading me forward? Anxiety or compassion and love? I have choice in each moment but first I have to identify my Lead Energy and then see how or if or how I want to change it.

That’s a hugely important question to ask as you move through your day. What energy am I leading with right now?  If you don’t like the answer change it.

Pause and experience your energy right now.  What are you focusing on?  What are you concerned about?  Are you angry or sad or serenely balanced?  Are you tense or released?  Centered or unfocused? Develop tools to return yourself to the center like breathing in serene energy and on the exhale, releasing the energy you no longer want to maintain. Breath is a cornerstone of the Qi Gong work.  There are many hand moments in Qi Gong that are gently gathering the support of the earth into your body, then reaching to the stars to bring in that wisdom and guidance. You can do that with just your breath too.  

Together, we create a group chi field that has a particular resonance that is a result of our individual intentional choices of our Lead Energy. 

Through intent and focus, merge your centered, focused Lead Energy into the Group Chi Energy field.  That Group Chi Field expresses outward into the world. It expands as our conscious intentions become focused in it.

First, understand yourself. Learn to become aware of your Lead Energy in different situations. Change your lead energy with focused intention and you will change the impact you have on the world.  As you increase your personal positive Chi energy, it merges with the global world energy and lifts the collective.

Share your authentic, vital essence.  People look at how you share, what you share, and how you embody your beliefs.  When you come from a place of inclusiveness and integrity, it attracts those you are meant to serve and reminds them of those qualities within themselves. Our centered existence is a powerful form of activism. 

Activism thorough Being has great power.  There is stability in maintaining the peace of mind and peace of heart to hold space for others.  It takes courage to be a centered, loving energy among the chaos.  We lead by example. Others see our serene stillness and respond by stilling and centering themselves. 

When we maintain centered stillness, we become a stable lead energy to the world around us. Our Lead Energy continues personal alignment and inclusive compassion. It becomes a beacon of light, a role model for how things can be. We truly become a beacon of peaceful coexistence. 

We each manage our own energy.  What ripples out, what particular stone we choose to drop into the quiet pond to become the lead energy comes from our choice in every moment. Stay conscious.  Be aware. Chose wisely.

I like the idea of being a stone dropped into a quiet pond to see my energies of centered stillness move gently out into the world. 

What lead energy are you maintaining?

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I am continually aware of the focus of my energy and
keep myself serenely centered.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS

  • Pause right now and notice where your energy is focused. What is your Lead Energy?
  • Do you want/need to change your focus?
  • What Lead Energy are you sharing with the world? If it is not what you want, change it.

How to Cultivate Deep Listening
An Exploration of the Unseen World

You have access to great wisdom when you cultivate deep listening.  It begins with your intuition, your hunches, your nudges, and moves into the deep listening of your inner voice and your imagination.  

It’s a journey of learning to trust.  It’s a skill of learning to interpret.  And it is the open portal to the Unseen World.

BREATH AND THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

When you breathe you move into the spiritual world. 

There was much emphasis on breathing in the Qi Gong Summit.  It is simple to use and it is very, very powerful.  

We use breath for clearing. We use breath for connection.  We use breath for self-healing.  We use breathe to live!

Close tour eyes and energetically connect with the center of the earth,  draw  in that life force, that energy of nature, and bring it up through your body to your heart.  Then reach up to your Soul Star and pull down wisdom and guidance and love into your heart. Sit with that awareness of wisdom and support. Sit there and radiate out your serenity.

Our breath connects us with our spiritual world.  Pause often and reach out.

WHERE IS YOUR NEXT PLACE OF SERVICE?

Those of us who are retired, or about to be, have a whole new world opening up to us.  In business, we look for who we want to serve.  I’m suggesting that in retirement we look for what we want to learn.  And go do that.  

Don’t look at it as a hobby.  Look at it as a calling, something you are to learn and share with others. 

The choice to follow what you want to learn is invigorating, stimulating, expanding, and frees you to follow whatever path calls to you.  When you turn and share your discoveries with others, it is exciting and rewarding. You are continually deepening your contribution to the world as you are expanding your own gifts.

You have 30 years in which to explore, to learn what calls to you, and share it in many ways.  Put those years to strong productive use creating work you can share that will change the lives of others. 

Now THAT’S retirement!

OUR EVOLVING FUTURE

It is time for us to weave a new dream for the earth. Our thoughts create our reality so let’s get busy.

This is not about dreaming things back the way they were.  There are a lot of signs that were not working so well.  Turn away from the past and start weaving our future by noticing what is new, like solar cars, and 3-D houses printed in two weeks, and plastic roads and solar panels in the driveway that provide energy for the whole house, or the fact the solar panels can now be installed in apartment windows to provide energy. Those are major game changers we need to incorporate into our vision of the future. 

The old ways are over.  We are to leave them behind and turn toward the future.  In doing so we must have our values firmly in place – compassion, inclusion, the well-being of all, always choosing for the highest good for all. It is a change in our awareness, in our focus, in our thinking.

Monitor your thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality so examine what you think is possible and rid yourself of limitations of what you used to believe. 

Get creative in your dreaming for the New Consciousness that is forming. Open yourself to amazing possibilities.  And leave the old world behind. We are dreaming a new one into being!!!

Find Your Flow

My friend was trying to get herself organized and she had blocked off segments of time for specific actions. I told her I pretty much go with the flow.  I honor my natural rhythm. What is your natural rhythm? Have you stopped to find out?

My creative time is my most precious so it always has priority whenever it shows up in m day. 

However, I want to add more Qi Gong in my life so I have begun doing a Chi Gong move each time I get up from my desk. Rather than setting aside a specific time in which to do a specific series of moments, I sprinkle Qi Gong throughout my day. I get in a lot of sprinkles.  I do Qi Gong When I leave my desk before I retune to my desk when I change tasks throughout the day.  Qi Gong is a serene, centering,  contemplative rhythm that is changing my experience of my day. 

Do specific work when your energy calls for it. I am most creative in the morning so whenever I get to my desk, that becomes about 90 minutes of making stuff up. I love that part. I eat and have tea at 11 while watching the View.  I take a shamanic journey at 12:30. My afternoon work is about complexing something. I am searching for the time I am willing to cook in mid-afternoon. 

Each day I only commit to one work task and one home care task. That doesn’t mean that’s all l do, it means that’s all l have on my to-do list.  It could be to record two podcasts and take out the trash.  The rest of my day unfolds organically but that’s all I have on my list to do. That allows me to not feel overwhelmed. I do the tasks I have chosen to do according to my natural energy flows.

It also helps when I focus on one type of action a day – a focus on recording, a focus on editing, a focus on writing.  I work in pairs on my podcast since they are short so I’m always ahead of my schedule. 

Be flexible and responsive to your energy and/or inner nudges. Leave space to resend to sudden bursts of inspiration.  When you are responsive to your moods and stay flexible in your schedule it leaves room for you to deep dive into anything that calls to you. I may take a shamanic journey and get some deep idea I want to share and turn right then and write a podcast draft. I often get a phrase that interests me and I go off to explore in writing. I can do that because my time is flexible and I am responsive to my inner voice. 

Notice your energy flow. When do you want to be active?  What do you want in your day? When do you need to rev up your energy? What do you want to make more room to do?  Having a short to-do list allows me creative flexibility in what I do and when I do it. 

Being organising your time by noticing your energy levels.  Play with that until you find what suits you and your energy flow. Keep your schedule flexible!

Living our Light

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

I sit here safely tucked in and have no clue what it feels like to be running out of food, or facing eviction. I cannot imagine being a black woman driving her car, being stopped by the police with guns drawn, and have my children put into handcuffs. I have not experienced being crowded into a multi-generational home with no privacy and no space to express myself.  

So what do I do? I shake my head and my heart is sad and…what?  It feels huge, much greater than I am capable of healing.

Some of my oblivion comes from being unaware, particularly as I was younger.  But even now, I am sheltered from the world at large.

I don’t know if I’m supposed to watch more news so I stay informed or shut out the news from all the really off-balance things that it portrays.

I have always had what I need in my lifetime.  I do not know what it means to be in need.

We each have our particular place to serve.  I was never much of a hands-on helper, I was more of an organizing idea provider.  I get to notice that and be OK with that.  But if I’m an idea person I get to put that gift to work for the greater good.

How?

We are in the process of learning to raise our vibration.  Not all of us will do it.  Not all of us are meant to do it.  But it is neither an honor, a bad thing, a privilege, or a punishment. It simply is. It is part of a grand over-arching pattern we, as humans, do not understand.

So I work on my inner world. I work with my inner voice. I experiment and I discover and I share it in a post or a podcast.  

And I expand my spiritual practice.  I add more intentional ritual.  I work to evolve a deeper connection to the earth so I hear her rhythm and align myself with her vibration – her requests of me. 

I meditate in the form of shamanic journeys. I create rituals of intentions. I hold high watch for those of us who are working to raise our vibration so that we experience success and raise ourselves to a new level of awareness and service. 

We have to walk with determination in our own shoes.  We have to walk our own path with as much awareness and thoughtfulness as we can muster. There are others walking beside us and we can hold our light high to light our mutual path, but each person has to walk in their own shoes and do it the best they can.  

Fill your own shoes well. Then reach out a helping hand.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I walk my path as steadily as I can and hold my light high to show others a way. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Look closely at your own path and how you are walking on it.  Are you r standing upright?  Are you moving forward?  How bright is your light?
  • Let your light expand to the hearts and minds of those around you, lending a helping hand when you are called, and send light energy to others to light their way.

DO YOU JURNAL?

I write to figure things out, to see how I want to apply what I have learned or how or even if I am to apply them.  That’s what journals do, they help you sort out your thoughts and ideas and feelings and intuitions. 

When you write down a thought, it is safely captured and that frees you to look beneath that thought, to look more deeply into the next level of the message.  

You can journal by hand or on your computer.  You can dictate it to your computer if that feels right to you. (Just remember to say, “period” or you will have a major run-on mess.) Your journal might include some acknowledgment to yourself for what you accomplished. It may be a thoughtful review of an experience you had or a step you took that felt very aligned.  It’s not a to-do list, it is an acknowledgment of your awareness, of your progress, and a desire to understand what lies below the surface, to hear your inner voice more clearly.

I stop often during my day to write about an awareness I have experienced, a message I received in a journey a thought I want to explore.  I capture it so I can look at it at a time when I am prepared to explore it more thoughtful and perhaps even to take action.  

Go within and explore and examine the messages of your day. Then, write them down for clarity and contemplation.

Outer Work

BE SELECTIVE

This month be a good month to tidy up your to-do list, perhaps unsubscribe to those emails you no longer need.  

It is a good idea to look at your projects and prioritize them.  Is there an aspect that you can hire done for you?  Do you need some more training? Is there a topic you want to explore?  Look at the rest of the year and see what you need and want to put in place. 

But first, complete or abandon what is no longer relevant.

PURE WATER

My skin is as soft as silk.  My hair is soft and shiny. My cat is as soft to touch as velvet. And that means we are soft and clear inside as well.  And it’s all beech of the water we drink. I have used a Nikon Water Filter for 25 years.  I actually bought a new one last year but gave my old one away because it’s still extremely usable.  The 

Nikken PiMag Waterfall sits on my kitchen counter in a position for me to fill it from the spray hose on my sink.  It contains a powerful filter and mineral rocks that together improve the water even if it’s from a good water source.  I just wanted you to know it exists.  My cat and I are sitting here as soft as newborns – inside and out.

FIND THE RIGHT PLACE

In a journey this week some things were suggested that I want to establish in my life.  I’m to create a moment in which I reach and maintain a point of stillness. How I do that is under exploration.  I want it to be a simple moving within to that point of stillness so I can connect more deeply with it and clarify and apply what I learn there. What if I could figure out how to sit here and become a single point of stillness.  I have experienced that only once in my life. Even the idea makes me deepen my stillness.

What do you want to add to your life as a meditative practice and how will you do that?

WHAT SERVICES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED?

Our future is now and it sure looks different than yesterday did.  As I think about how we are to each reposition ourselves. I am aware of some services that will be needed less.  Being a tailor, for instance.  If we all stay home in our comfortable clothes we have no need for a tailor – or even much of a variety of clothing.  So what do you do if you love to sew and create things out of fabric?  The fashion industry will take a big hit because of the lack of social events to dress up for.  

And will they come back?  Not to the extent they used to be because our new normal is to work from home.  And that does mean increased work in the technology we barely know about They recently printed a 3-D house in three weeks which with transform the building trade.  What about musicians, people who make their living playing in concerts and on tours, the backstage roles that are part of that business. The timeline for live concerts is rather far off.  What do those people do in the meantime?  How do they reposition themselves to mover forward?

We have each been given a multitude of gifts but it’s the expression of our passion that we seek most.  So I may become a street musician with my guitar case open for donations, but there are no longer theater crowds emerging from the theater district.  What about the actors – it’s hard enough to get work when there is work to be had.  What if you have a passion that is no longer needed in the workplace?

These seem to all be creative examples, artistic examples.  And once you have known full artistic expression, there does not seem to be any sort of substitute for it.  

I don’t have answers here, just more questions. 

I remember years ago in New York City talking to a woman who was called upon to take all of the broadway show cast photos. She was grateful for the income but she said she did not have time to do her own work. Or course not, she was doing commercial work, not self-exploration expression work.  

How do we feed our soul if we are creative? I guest we get very creative….

I can write for the sheer joy of writing but its more rewarding to know I have touched a life or two. 

Work is all so tied up in making a living and what you are suited to do. Work needs to be more than that.

I think of the farm workers who do labor to feed their families.  What happens to a creative child in that environment?  We often go in the direction our parents did, unless someone helps us to go further, to take a path more suited to our individual gifts. 

The point is we each get to rethink and re-examine what we need at our core. And how to get it for ourselves.  

No, wiring commercials is not nearly as rewarding as writing what calls to me.  Playing a song alone is less rewarding than if I can share it with someone and we can play off of eh other’s gifts. Is that the answer, then, to share what you create? Possibly. 

We each have been given several strong gifts.  Now is the time to look closely and get very creative about how we can offer those gifts to bring ourselves personal satisfaction as well as income. 

There is one other major observation around this new how-do-I-make-a-living scenario we are in.  Consume less.  Choose less. Get creative and create our own entertainment.  Remember the game where one person starts a story, gets it to a point of decision or challenge, and then passes it to the next person to continue the story?  That’s a great family adventure. 

Not everyone was cut out to be a parent and yes here we are expecting ourselves to be a focused parent, gifted teacher, reliable workers, and fulfill our own calling.  The lucky children are the ones with smart parents who can teach them at home and support them in their learning.  But even as they do that, they get to rethink about the child’s future – and they get to be evolved choices they will have.  

I remember taking geometry in high school and wondering where I would ever use that.  The first and possibly only time I did was want I was making pleated drapes and had to figure out the spacing and the depth of the pleat and how much material to buy.  But I’m glad I could figure that out. 

Explore as many skills and areas of knowledge that you can. The internet makes it easy.  How can you repurpose what you know?  I have a friend who is a master horticulturist.  She could explore plant healing or make a new hybrid food or…  Take your skill and your passion and shape it into sometime new and usable.  Then offer it to the world.

Be creative  Think creative. Make up you own perfect income stream.

OUR EVOLVING FUTURE

I feel tremendous pride and hope for my country with the inclusion of a very powerful and capable woman, Kamala Harris, as vic- president nominee. She is so capable and well prepared that I am ready for her to go on to be president.  

It is like a door opening, fresh air being let in, and a whole new level of feminine power begin put in place.  Not only is this historic, this is life chaining for this country.   

It’s not jut about placing a woman in power, it is about the change she represents in her awareness.  She is of a younger generation and she is aware, astute, and very ready to govern. 

Change is good.  Change is well, life-chaining.  My country needs so much healing.  Let it begin with these two peacemakers.

FIND YOUR TRIBE

The lovely thing about having to stay home is that we have to go online to find our interactions with people and that opens up the entire world.  I speak with friends in France and Switzerland, as well as people in the US.  Here’s the caveat – you want to find people that stretch you, that make you think and consider new options for yourself.  People at a similar level in the topic you have in common who are in on a similar life path.  I have several people to talk shamanism with, I have one person to talk computer and web stuff with. Many of my friends are energy healers. One of my most amazing in-person friends is the Social Services Coordinator here at the Senior Center where I live.  We had a great talk just the other day.  We have just a plain ol’ affection for each other. 

I need them all in my life.  

How do you find these friends that resonate with your own path? Begin with an online class you are taking, post on the community FB page and see who responds and reach out to them.  Classes are great ways to find like-minded friends. They have self-selected to show their interest in the topic.  

Look over your past and perhaps reach out to someone who shared a portion of your path with you that you have carried forward.  Only one of the six people I speak with regularly have I met in person.  We use zoom or Skype and it is easy.  And I have recently added frequent emails with a new friend.

Reach out.  Begin with emails. Toss in a call or two and begin to expand your relationship.  Schedule another call before you hang up to keep the momentum going. Like-minded friends are super important for your own personal growth.  Expand our circle.  Reach out.

CARA’S CORNER

SELF HEALING – SOUND HEALING

I had an extraordinary experience with my flutes this week.  In my flute class with Christine Stevens, we begin to play to our emotions and something we wanted to heal.   Playing with that intention changed my music. 

We played to our home, to bless every corner of it with the sound vibration. 
We played to others.  I played to my sister who has Alzheimer’s and said yet another goodbye to the sister I had.

This playing to an emotion was all done though intention and opening my heart  It was very powerful. 

Now granted, the pentatonic scale of a native flue has no wrong combinations, but there is much you can do with your breath and your tongue and your fingers – and your intention.  But the key to this experience was playing from my heart – in gratitude, in blessing – with purpose.  It took me to a whole new level of self-healing and made me realize how vital and powerful sound healing is.  

I also realized I need to get Christine’s recommended drum app because before the class there was a drumming soundtrack she had made and it expanded my playing to have that rhythm as a counterpoint.

I also have three flutes to choose from and I chose them depending on the intention of the playing. I cried three different times with emotional release from my own life. 

All that from a piece of wood with some holes in it.  
The first known flute was made out of an animal leg bone and the spacing of the holes in the same today.  

Native flutes are made from wood so before we play we have a ritual to honor its connection to the branches which touch the sky and to the earth were their roots reach.  And finally, we connect our flute to our heart which is to be the source of our music.

I write this because I was surprised at the intensity and the ease with which the emotional connection happened. 

Vibration is healing and it takes may forms – especially music. 

How do  you have music in your life?

Metaphorical Messengers and the Unseen World

An Exploration of the Unseen World

We are so much more than our physical plane expression.  We, as transformational leaders, are to raise our vision and listen to the guidance of the 95% of the world that is unseen.  That is our job  To listen, to hear, to bring back what we learn and teach others.  

There are Metaphorical Messengers in the Unseen World ready to guide us and inspire us and yes, motivate us to new actions here within our planetary persona.  

We have only to listen…

TrANSCRIPT

Metaphorical Messengers and the Unseen World

95% of the world is unseen.  But it wants to communicate with us here in our physical container.  How do we contact it? How do we understand it?  Is the Unseen World an “it” or a” we” or a “them”?

I have used the meditative form of a shamanic journey for a number of years to explore the Unseen World. And the more I listen the more I hear. The Unseen World speaks in metaphors and we must learn to interpret them. 

I think of them as Metaphoric Messengers and I value their guidance. 

I’m Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community. I am acosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world. I share what I learn and guide those who are ready to the next level so we can sing a deeper song. Thank you for being a part of this journey.

Our inquiry in this episode is  about Metaphorical Messengers and the Unseen World

The first time I tried to take a Shamanic Journey I only had the sense of sitting around a campfire with others but I could not see them.  I just knew they were there.  It took me several journeys before I began to recognize the metaphoric messengers that were to be and are my guides.  They bring me answers and insights and nudges from the Unseen world. You have your personal Metaphoric Messengers waiting for you too. 

The unseen world needs us to do their work. We need them to point out the way we are to move forward. We need each other to communicate. We just need to be observant. 

So immediately we have a few questions

  • Why do I want to explore the Unseen World?
  • How doest that change my experience here my planetary experience?
  • How do I access this Unseen World?
  • Let’s get to it.

Why do we want to explore the Unseen World? What’s in it for us?  We’ve got enough going on here on the physical plane…

We are in an unprecedented period of change.  What better time to access the overview, the guidance we need from the Unseen World. It Is 95% of everything so surely there are some helpful insights and guidance available there and a whole lot of overview….!

We search for an answer in the unseen world. We search for guidance and clarity and insights we don’t even have the questions for. 

Here’s the challenge – and the opportunity.  When we receive this guidance from the Unseen World, we have to be willing to examine our past choices, develop new approaches, and recreate ourselves to respond to the new message. Perhaps choose a new platform, a new form of service, even a new foundation.  We are creating our future in the here and now and our choices in the present are molding what we manifest in the future.   We need to make thoughtful choices.

That’s why we want to explore the Unseen World – to get guidance and insight and overview.

So if we go exploring in the Unseen World and gain new insights, what does that change in the present?

You know how limited we are here in our physical presence with the restrictions of our emotions and mind.  When we begin to open ourselves to the unseen world it begins to raise our energy into a higher vibration that enables us to live in and manifest higher good, greater clarity, more compassionate choices. We become a raised vibration that will positively and consciously affect our entire planet. 

That sounds rather good.  Exciting actually. So how do we access this Unseen World?

We access the  Unseen World in meditation. We begin by setting up our Transformative Shield and Connect to our Gaia Gate and our Soul Star. Then we set an intention in the form of guidance we wish to receive and go to our Sacred Garden and wait.  Your Sacred Garden is a metaphor for you.  Everything in it is you and when something in it changes that is a change within you. 

The Metaphoric Messengers shat show up are just that – 

they have meaning to you and they bring messages only you can interpret. If you don’t understand the message, simply ask for clarity.

Accept whatever Metaphoric Messenger shows up. It may be a guide or a guardian, or simply an awareness you need to experience. 

It may be an animal or a place in nature or a person.  What does that image mean to you right here and now and what is their message? See what message is given just to you – only for you. If you need more clarity ask for it.  

I have a fairly wide variety of helping spirits. Many are animals but there are people-shaped metaphors too. Trust that what shows up is an insight you are ready to receive.

Now that you have messages from the Unseen World, what are you going to do with this powerful awareness? 

Each time we visit the Unseen World the vibration of our body energy is raised. Our light increases.  Our effect on the collective continues to expand.

We become a bright light of Being. Our vibration raises and we experience new responses from those around us. We become more aware of the subtle nudges of the Unseen World that come in the form of thoughts and unexpected awareness. A knowing.  As we expand our journey practice, we visit the Unseen World more easily and our answers and insights become clearer and more profound.

Our raised vibration becomes a bridge, a bridge from our physical pane expression to the higher vibration we all share.  Our awareness increases.  Our sensitivity expands. We are in deeper connection with the Unseen World more of the time. And the messages we receive place us in deeper and more profound service. 

This inner work places us in the space of our Soul Star where we exchange messages with the Unseen World.  Where we hear the messages of agreements that were made before we came to earth.   Messages of our Soul Star.  Guidance from our Soul Sta.  Insights from the overview of our Soul Star.  Messages from the Unseen World in the form of metaphors we alone are to interpret.

Take time to seek your metaphorical messages each day.  Sit quietly with a question or an intention and then journey to your Sacred Garden to gain deeper clarity and guidance. 

The Unseen world awaits us  Will you open up to the Metaphorical Messengers that are ready to guide and heal you?

When?

How to Hold High Watch for the Planet

An Exploration of the Unseen World

Collectively we have a huge impact on our planet – let’s put our consciously raised vibration to work for the highest good of all.

When we step forward as conscious participants in the Transformation Community, our collective energy both deepens and expands.  Others see our light, recognize themselves, and join us.  And the healing of the planet increases. 

The planet needs us. It needs our vision.  It needs our spiritual commitment.  It needs us to hold High Watch.  Here’s how you can make a powerful difference in our world.

How to Hold High Watch for the Planet

An Exploration of the Unseen World

It’s a bit too easy to feel small and ineffectual when it comes to the planet.  How do we even begin to help create change?

What if I told you that you have an important role to play in healing the planet and that together, collectively, we have a huge impact. 

To our daily spiritual practice, we add High Watch for the planet.  Let me show you how.

I’m Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community. I am 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. I share what I learn and guide those who are ready to the next level so we can sing a deeper song.  

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode, we learn How to Hold High Watch for the Planet.

There are transformational thinkers all over the planet who are holding High Watch for the world.  We sit in serene silence and radiate our light into the world – the people, the situations, the environment, our future.  We join with other light beings and begin to cover the planet in a heading, wholing, light vibration, working together to raise the collective consciousness. That’s how we hold High Watch for the world.   

You immediately have a lot of questions: 

What exactly is High Watch?

How do we hold High watch?

What makes High Watch work?

Let’s begin by answering the questions What is High Watch?

High with is about intentionally raising vibration and holding that higher frequency in place.

High Watch is about intentionally raising the vibrational energy of a room or a ceremony or a situation or even the world by raising and focusing our thoughts and expectations to the highest level we can and holding them there.

As a member of the clergy in the Center for Spiritual Living 20 years ago, several of us were always assigned to sit in High Watch during every service. That meant we did not participate. We sat and held the energy of the room in our consciousness in order to keep it receptive and centered and open and loving.  

You do that with your intentions – by focusing on the serenity and tranquility and well-being for all. 

As the world undergoes rather dramatic changes, it’s easy to feel a bit ineffective in helping to create positive change. And If you are old like me, your options to participate in the word have some limitations. But boy, can I share positive energy!  I can hold High Watch for the world!  

I invite you, as a Transformational Leader, to add to your spiritual practice a period of holding High Watch for the World. That may mean sending light energy to a particular place or group or situation. It may mean seeing yourself joining with other points of light to cover the entire plant in an ever-brightening layer of light – of raised vibration. Then see and feel that light continues to thicken as others see and recognize the collective light and join in. Hold High Watch for the World in whatever way calls to you.

What elements do you want to put into your personal high watch for the planet?

You use vibration to send light consciousness

Because everything is vibration, our goal in holding High Watch is to raise our own vibration and to see others in their form of a higher vibration. Hold each other in Light. Hold us all in Light.

And once we have consciously raised our vibration, we hold that higher frequency in place.

Begin by sitting quietly.  Perhaps sit facing a window so you can begin by connecting with nature.  Feel your body gradually disappear and allow yourself to merge with the elements of nature – earth, air, water, fire, space until you experience the gradual, ever-flowing cycles that bring change. 

Notice your breathing slow and your body disappear until you are merged with the energy of All That is.  Begin to consciously and intentionally raise your vibration unit your body disappears and you are a strong, steady Light, a high vibration merging with  other strong high steady vibrations. 

Experience other vibrations joining this collection of Higher Vibration.  As more join the higher frequency stabilizes and becomes stronger and radiates throughout the planet to touch everyone, to lift the frequency of all. As you immerse yourself in this collective energy, feel the vibration raise even higher. 

Be with this experience.   Hold this higher frequency in place. Merge with the Collective Oneness.

Simply be.   

High Watch is an intentional raising of your vibration to a higher frequency that you hold in place so others experience it and join you. 

Your intention drives the energy

Set an intention.  Where do you want your wholing energy to go? 

Ask for the vibration to be for the highest good. No need to get more specific than that. Let the energy go where it is needed and do what is needed to be done. Trust the wholeness of energy to move a situation through its process of adjustment in the most holistic manner and to restore balance where and when it is needed.

Begin by simply observing your breath. Slow your breath and pause at both the inhale and exhale. Become observant of what you experience in those moments. Shift your awareness within until your body presence disappears. Just sit there and radiate out your own powerful, all-encompassing light. 

Let your intention to raise your vibration do its work.  

Gradually allow yourself to feel yourself floating above the planet, shining your light of wholeness on it.  

As you float, you become aware of other light beings doing the same thing and gradually you feel a part of a cloud or layer of light surrounding our earth, holding the light energy of those who have awakened, who are aware that they are light. 

Our purpose in holding High Watch for the World is to add our energy to that of the Light Collective and together to radiate our Light of Oneness out on the people on the earth so others begin to recognize themselves as being of that light and begin to raise their own vibration.  They begin to see it as a way they too can help our earth home. 

You will recognize this inner light as being something inside you that you can nurture and grow and blossom.  We are nurturing the seeds of awareness in others with the light of our spiritual focus.  

This is an individual spiritual practice that organically joins with others all over the world doing the same. 

Create your own spiritual practice of holding high watch. 

I have a soft Hug-a-Planet that I send energy to every day. I have a big light-box crystal that I touch each day in my morning spiritual practice and ask it to send support and love and deepened awareness to the lightworkers of the world. I have a tree outside my window that I use as a messenger to nature all over the planet, offering it wholeness and blessings and balance. I have a wind whistle I use to blow a blessing to the planet.  I play my Indian flute as I watch the sunset, sending my blessing on around the world to carry wholeness and healing. 

Sometimes, if there are places that seem at deep unrest, I lob a few envisioned light balls in their direction, to whole and heal and balance the area. But mostly, I simply sit and radiate out my light energy at various points in my day.

How do you know your High Watch is working?

Once you begin looking for the signs of the impact of your High Watch for the World, you will see them.  It may be the branch of a tree waving at you as you walk by.  It may be a feeling of inner tranquility that you carry within you for longer and longer periods of time. It may be the story on the news of someone making a major positive difference in the care of our planet and its inhabitants. 

How will you begin to hold High Watch for the planet?
