How to Track Your Self-Awareness

October 20, 2016 By Cara Lumen

medietations sunset

Self-awareness is the cornerstone of making aligned choices. The more aware you are of what you need, how you’re perceived and what your passion is, the better you’ll be at making the choices that are perfect for moving forward.

Take a beginning survey

Write a description of how you feel on your mental, physical and spiritual planes. Perhaps add an observation of how you feel about the path you’re on, what you’d like to see happen or change. Put a date on it and periodically revisit it and add new observations. Make a note of the subtle improvements you have made.

You’ll find a lot of useful introspective awareness processes in my book. Shape Your Journey, Clarify Your Calling

Look at your reflection

An interesting place to observe your personal growth is in the reflection you see of yourself through the responses of others. Even more interesting is the fact that what you don’t like in others is exactly what you don’t like in yourself. Work on that one!

Keep your acknowledgements in one document and begin to notice the threads and similarities. This will help you see where you’re succeeding and where you need work.

Notice your cycles

Because you’re always changing, you’ll need to stay constantly aware of your progress. This isn’t about comparing yourself to anyone else. It’s your personal journey and your personal responsibility.

Establish some pattern of introspection and mind map or journal, or do whatever you need to do in order to pause and listen to your inner voice. Having a record of various points in your inner journey is helpful in identifying the beginnings and ends of cycles.

Some people are more introspective that others

I get a little carried away listening to my inner voice and trying to figure out what all those nudges and insights mean. But inner awareness is the focus of my work. I even include a Deeper Song Process in my weekly newsletter to members of Deeper Song Community that comes from my life experience and curiosity.

If you’re capable of making thoughtful, aligned choices that seem to keep taking you in a rewarding and personally expanding direction, you’re already pretty self-aware. But since you keep changing, you have to keep looking at what you want and how you’re sharing your passion. Trust yourself to make aligned choices and trust the Universe to provide you with the right opportunities from which to choose.

47 – Empower Your Feminine

October 1, 2016 By Cara Lumen

The Rise of the Feminine is at Hand.

Are you ready to adjust?

The Incas thought in terms of 500-year cycles. We’re just entering a cycle of the feminine. We’re coming from the aggressive, warrior, masculine energy into – well, it can go both ways – soft and nurturing and the individualist, the explorer, the leader, the philosopher. How we do things, how we see things, will be affected.

What does that mean in your work place? In your relationships? In your choices? What can you do right now to prepare yourself to take advantage of this long-time-in-coming shift in power?

Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher, explorer, guide and founder of the Deeper Song Community helps us sing a deeper song. In this episode, she discusses three important changes we might make in order to move smoothing into the age of the feminine.
[player]

In this episode, we consider:
1. How do we free ourselves from thinking the masculine is the right way – or even the only way? This is going to take some work.
2. How do we define and accept the new way of approaching life – the feminine more flexible way?
3. Why we must learn to become very tolerant of others who resist the change.

46 -How the People You Hang Out With Affect Your Life

September 2, 2016 By Cara Lumen

refkecteuibs-250

If you are the sum total of the five people you hang out with most, do the people you have around you now actively support you? Are they helping you achieve what you want to do? Or do you need to make some changes in the people you have allowed into your life? Who are the best people to choose and how do you fire a friend?

Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher, explorer, and founder of the Deeper Song Community helps us sing a deeper song. In this episode she discusses the specific balance you need to keep among the three types of people you spend the most time with.

[player]
In this episode we explore the balanced formula for choosing the people you invest the most time with:
1. One third are people who need your help.
2. One third are friends who support you in your daily life process.
3. One third are people that you can learn from.

Explore the balance of personal friends you have in your life right now and find out how to make more supportive choices.

August 26, 2016 By Cara Lumen

refkecteuibs-250Have you ever come to the end of a day and realized that you have missed most of it – that you have rushed through tasks and hurried through conversations and have never taken a moment to experience what was happening?

1. Be still and listen
2. Interpret the signals
3. Allow life to unfold

refkecteuibs-250
If you can’t explain what you do in words that help others see how you can help them you will never make a connection. Here are three powerful methods that help you identify your core purpose and the phrases that help others understand what you do.

In this episode she discusses core positioning steps that serve to move you to a new level of understanding of why you do what you do and how you can explain that clearly to others.
[player]
In this episode we explore three defining methods:
1. The “who and do what” statement that will help you clarify what you do.
2. The “I exist to serve by..” exercise that helps you find your core purpose
3. How to find the simple words you say in casual conversation that truly convey your message.
