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

This is a time of searching. This is a time of exploration. This is a time of questioning. Most of all, this is a time for choosing. It is time to find your own voice. It will be a new voice. It will be a different voice. It may be an unexpected voice. It will be a stronger voice. It will be based on the dramatically changing needs of the world today, the calling of your heart, and the most impactful and far-reaching use of your gifts. It may be a professional job. It may be a volunteer position. You may step out on your own. It may be a service within the confines of your group of friends. But your role will change. And much will change because of it.

Find your voice by noticing why people are drawn to you. What do they seek from you? What do they ask of you? How has that changed recently?  What is your new unfolding vision for yourself and for our planet? What do you believe is possible? How do you see your own role evolving?

Notice how your beliefs and expectations may have changed. Notice what new strengths you have developed in response to the emerging Divine Feminine and the violent reaction of the Divine Masculine who is lashing out in all directions. We must keep our center. We must keep our focus. And most of all we must continue to choose for the highest good for all. Or at the very least the highest good for the most people.

Let your new role unfold. Be patient. But be curious. Go exploring. Try on different versions of similar paths. Or try a whole new path all together. Find your voice. It is needed. Make it a strong voice placed deeply in service for the well-being of all.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I step into the passionate calling of my new voice

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Close your eyes and listen with  your heart.  What circumstance, situation on earth calls most to you?  
  • Give some thought to how you might serve that calling.  
  • Go exploring and find your new voice. 

===INNER WORK===

Being Light

How can you simply “be” light? How do you walk through your day as a Light Being? You do it with intention. You do it with an awareness of yourself as a spiritual being, cosmic consciousness itself. You are essence in a physical body. It is an essence of the highest vibration. That’s who we are. If you know yourself to be light, how does it change what you do and how you do it? 

I will move into a gathering with more awareness of the collective consciousness. I will give gratitude to my human form and for the many ways it allows me to participate in this life. I will give gratitude for my mind which is part of who I am, a favorite part granted, but just part of me. Since our consciousness creates how we express ourselves, I will listen to my consciousness. I will support her in staying on the high road and seeing the highest good for all, for being present and not just reacting, but for responding with compassionate inclusion. This inner work is constant. It’s about being continuously aware. Aware of what you are thinking. Aware of what you are doing. Be aware of the nudges of the universe and what you are to do with them. Move through your day with awareness and let Spirit guide you.

===SELF-HEALING===

The Power of Encouragement

I was practically cheering as I walked down the hall to get the mail. My body is doing such a fabulous job of self-healing and the results are encouraging and rewarding. Which do you notice – what is working or what is not?

Focus on the wins and build on them.  

===OUTER  WORRK===

Focused Action

As both men and women search to find our new role in the unfolding Sacred Feminine, we will have to try out a variety of roles. Some of them are roles that have not even been invented yet. So we have to keep listening to our inner voice and turn to the world and try to place  ourselves in new roles in unfamiliar and rapidly unfolding situations, finding unexpected but much-needed evolving places of service.

So many new ways to do things are being discovered daily that we need to stay alert to what is calling us, what is appropriate for us, what is next for us, what is possible. And then we go exploring to see where it leads us. How does our heart feel? What are our goals? What are our accomplishments? Are our choices accomplishing what we want to get done? Are we going in a positive direction?

Take an action, focus in on a situation, and adjust according to the response  you get.  Stay flexible.  Do the work. 

Find Your Natural Rhythm

We get so caught up in schedules and appointments and obligations that we forget to establish our own natural rhythm. When do you do your best work? Are you a morning person? A night person? Do you work in strong bursts and then change pace for a while? Or are you a strong, steady type? Those are all valid ways to work which may not be allowed in the way we structure our life and work. It is helpful to know your natural rhythm and find ways to honor it.

I’m super creative in the morning. So whatever writing or creating I’m going to do is worked on then. Sometimes I find study is a good use of my energy in the afternoon. Take time to notice your natural rhythms and see how you can adjust your day to accommodate them.

Bring Nature Into Your Life

I have been known to have twigs and leaves and acorns in an arrangement in my home.  My windows are lined with plants with colorful leaves. I have sun catchers in my window rather than shades so I can easily look out and be with the flow of nature.  How do you bring nature into your environment?

My meditation chair faces a window so I can be with nature during that time of contemplation. I play my flutes to the new day.  I play my flutes to the sunset.

My Qigong practice begins by bringing energy up from Gaia and down from Cosmic Consciousness.  I pause as I move through my day to look out at nature to see what she’s sharing with me, what mood she is in, what messages she has.  

How do you live with the unfolding cycles of nature?

What Are Your Options?

There is always more than one choice. There is always more than one way around a problem. What are your options? Do you simply stop and stare at a blockage in your life and not move forward without looking around for different ways to get around it? Over, above, around – all are approaches that offer different options. Is it really a problem or is it actually an incredible opportunity that asks you to rise to the occasion and give more of yourself than you have before? It is an opportunity to grow. There are always options. Do it. Don’t do it. Partially do it. Give it to someone else to do. Consider your options and expand your expectations before you move forward.

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Cultivate Your Inner Voice

It takes time to cultivate the interpretation of your Inner Voice. Mine sometimes shouts at me. Other times it is a nudge so slight that if I’m not paying attention, I will miss it. Sometimes I reject what the inner voice says because it doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. But usually, it is. My Inner Voice has so many good ideas that it often makes me stop what I am doing and go act on the idea. 

Learn to trust your inner voice. Learn to ask your inner voice for guidance. And listen closely to the very soft nudges it brings to you throughout the day. 

===HOW TO BE A STRONG CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THE DIVERSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT BEINGS===

Continue Working On Your Own Evolution

We are being called to set aside who we are, what we know, and where we think we’re going because our world is dramatically changing. It clears out the old and births the new. We have to stay flexible. We have to evolve. We have to chart a new path. We have to explore and make new choices. This is a time of major change.

The question I’m asking myself a lot is what I am to do now? What is needed from me now? Where will I have the most impact?  How can I be the most useful?

What’s coming up for me is based on my natural curiosity about the unfolding feminine and the form she is evolving into. 

I also intend to go with the flow. I will not plan so far ahead that I cannot make an instant course correction when a new insight shows up or a new opportunity comes to me. I will not lock myself into a long-term plan for now, I think there’s too much change going on.

You can’t rush change. You can’t rush recognition of new possibilities. But you can teach yourself to be aware and observant and thoughtful. As this unfolding continues, you will find criteria to use as a measuring stick. You will also find things that are so exciting, it will blow your mind because you never thought that would be possible in your lifetime. The idea that you would be able to do it opens realms of new possibilities. Let your imagination soar.  Go exploring.  Make new choice.  Create new expectations for what is possible.

I’m not sure what staying flexible does for year-long plans or objectives or goals like we used to do. I think we might have to take it project by project. Perhaps even moment by moment. A project could be completed in any length of time that will make it usable and we will find out what change that leads to, what it evolves into. Continue work on your own evolution and enjoy the unfolding opportunities that present themselves. 

Reach Out

 I cherish my online friends.  I talk to them at regular intervals and we support each other on our respective journeys. Each friend seems to address a different area of interest of mine and it is very supportive to be able to have regular conversations with people who are walking a similar path and exploring in a similar direction at a similar level. We do not share all parts of our paths, but we support each other on the part of the path we share. 

Perhaps you make the first connection. Reach out and make arrangements to have a conversation on Zoom with someone you would like to know better. Or begin with an email exchange. The more specialized your area of interest, the trickier it is to find someone interested at the same level you are. The more advanced you get, the more you need advanced people in that area to share your journey with. Reach out. Arrange a monthly call and see how you can support each other.

How will you begin to build your far-reaching online community of friends?

===BROADEN YOUR HORIZON – EXPAND YOUR VIEW===

Expectation

As I watch the challenges in the US, I have a choice – I can worry or I can raise my expectation of what is possible. I’m going to do the latter. So even though the answer, the next move, the solutions are not yet obvious, I’m going to trust that the solution for the highest good for all will emerge and prevail. What do you expect is possible? Raise your expectations and you will invite in higher energy.

Understand Your Process

How do you learn?  What process do you go through to make your observations?  What are the criteria for your choices? 

I’m an over-view person.  I see the potential and its variations very rapidly.  I do not remember detail very readily.

I have a friend who remembers detail forever.  She weaves it into lovely patterns of understanding.  Both of those learning styles are gifts. 

Give some thought to how you learn, how you make choices, how you choose your action steps.  Once you understand your pattern you can create a methodology to evolve an effective deepening process for your decisions. 

However you make decisions is perfect for  you but understand how  you work and figure out how to utilize those preferences. 

Change and Possibilities

Because change is happening so rapidly around us, we have to keep looking for the new possibilities that are emerging. They may be in a form that we recognize. They may not. They may be ours to do. They may not. I think we are entering a stage where we need to question everything we do because there’s going to be an alternative way to do it. Solar panels came to mind. 3-D printing of houses come to mind. Elimination of plastic come to mind. These are huge changes in how we used to do things. Keep learning. Pay attention to what is new and available. And keep questioning your choices so that you can keep building and finding new ways to do everything and anything.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

Creator Economy

Brian Clark says this is a creator economy.  There are so many platforms that give us access to people all over the world that our business goals can and need to be global.  This includes coating, teaching, designing, marketing, technical development, and reaching a worldwide audience.   Brian says, “It’s an amazing time to be a creative entrepreneur and build your personal enterprise.”

Look imaginatively at the unfolding needs that you can now identify in the world and find innovative ways to fill that need.  This is a period of creativity and originality. Enjoy. 

======THE UNFOLDING DIVINE FEMININE=== ===

Establishing New Feminine Qualities

This has been such a male-dominated world that there are no Divine Feminine examples for us to copy. We only have the masculine view of the world. But that is changing.  So what do you see as the new, unfolding feminine qualities? I see independence. The Divine Feminine walks her own path in her own way in her own time. She has confidence and she is strong and she is very, very, very attuned to the guidance of her inner voice. She is so strong that she does not need support. She may choose to partner with someone in order to increase that strength or expand the possibilities. But she really prefers to walk alone. Independent. Wise. Inquisitive. Smart. Feminine is all of those. If you don’t believe that, you are still listening to the male-dominated world. And you have some choices to make. There are probably some beliefs to change. Forget what is out there right now like unequal work opportunities and unequal pay. And especially look out for the unequal expectations – by others and by ourselves. Each of us, both male and female are evolving into this new feminine. Men and women both have to change their beliefs in what is possible for women to do. 

How do we do that? We notice what calls us and we go exploring and keep a lookout for any of those restrictive feminine role clichés that are bound to show up. 

There are many ways to approach a situation. If I wanted to help fight fires but am  a small sized woman, not a big strong man, I have to perhaps create a role for myself in that profession. I may be the pilot to spot the new fire path and report back. I may create a new tool for fighting fires. I may develop a new conservation technique that prevents forest fires or reseeds forests. There are many ways to participate in helping a cause. We have to learn to think beyond anything we’ve imagined before because the opportunities are different and the tools are different. Be clever. Be creative. Be innovative. Create your own version of being in the Divine Feminine in this unfolding time.

=== DEEPER SONG  PHILOSOPHIES ===

Look Within

My strongest guiding philosophy is to keep looking within. I love my inner voice. I love that the more I listen the louder she speaks. And when I listen, I discover new opportunities, new paths, new possibilities. Are you listening to your inner voice? She is showing you the way.

===INTENTION BLESSING===

May we hear and heed the call of the Divine Feminine. 

May we expand our hearts and our expectations.

May we walk the Path of Light with a sure foot. 

May we keep our gaze on the summit.

May we take this journey with a full heart. 

I entwine my light with yours and we move forward to guide the way.

Pass It Forward

I have been collecting crystals for 50 years.  This week I passed along my crystal jewelry collection, with the exception of one labradorite necklace I wear, to my daughter, Cathy.  I was surprised to find that I felt relief the next day. I had made some of the jewelry in a jewelry-making class in New York City and I got to point those out to her.  One rutilated quartz necklace had been shouting at me for days that she wanted to go be with Cathy now.  It’s interesting how rocks can talk, can make their wishes and their needs and their gifts known.  We just have to listen.  

What do you need to pass forward?  What do you need to let go?  I still have a huge number of crystals but I found a group who were ready to move on to help Cathy deepen her spiritual practice.  

There is a time for everything. Sometimes that time is to stay and sometimes it is time to let go. 

What do you need to pass forward?

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

Letting Go

I let go.  It was time. 

I let go.  It was time. What I released was needed elsewhere. And it made room for me to bring in the new. Or expand what I kept. 

I let go.  It was time. What I released was needed elsewhere. And it made room for me to bring in the new. Or expand what I kept. Now there is room to grow.

Don’t Force the Petals to Open

Living Our Deeper Song

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

I should be writing this in the spring but because it’s the end of year, I was imagining 2022.  And in my journey, I got “do not force the petals to open.”  I need to ease up and let the buds of change open in their own time. 

I have to be certain that making plans does not close me in or keep me from finding unexpected and unusual options.  I have to stay fluid.  And the main reason I do is that no one knows what the Unfolding Divine Feminine is going to look like.  We’ve never had it before. So unlike past years, I cannot set specific goals because that would lock me into a closed path.  

In the journey I took to find guidance for 2022, I got my Happy Hiker Guide who is a new guide for me. He wears a jaunty hiking hat with a feather and plays a flute to encourage me on the winding, uphill path.  He cautioned me not to lock myself in, to just stay open to possibilities, and I would have what I need to examine and evaluate every choice. 

I don’t exactly have a plan other than to ease up on making action plans.  When an idea comes up, I will explore it from several angles.  I also want to watch what I change and how I change it because that will alter my choices and my potential.  Do I need to expand something? Do I want to explore something new? Probably both. That means I have to be willing to let go and/or change rather fluidly as new ideas and awareness ripen. 

I like the idea of letting an action or an idea ripen.  Give it time to nurture itself in each stage.  A caterpillar changes who she is by dissolving herself and becoming an entirely new being. I’m not planning to go that far, but I do think it would be a good idea to leave some no-longer-needed things beside the path and move on. I just have to be aware of what I need to leave behind. Fear, apprehension, uncertainty, there is no room for those, we have too much exploring to do.  What we do need is a strong sense of what is important for the collective well-being so our choices support our inclusive values and keep us moving toward a higher level of participation and expectation. 

Because the world is changing so rapidly and dramatically, we get to question every choice and many of our conclusions and that will take some practice.  A new possibility shows up and we have to squelch any negative thought and instead, turn the idea over in our mind to see how it fits into the unfolding world and if we have a role in it.  Then we can choose.  

Over-arching broad goals help us prioritize, but long-range plans won’t work because the world is unfolding and rearranging its potential. We have to stay flexible and open to change. You can’t push the petals to open. You have to let them unfold in their own perfect time.

Most of all, keep an eye out for the unusual and unfolding potentials that are going to come tumbling in.  Go exploring, give it a try, and see where it takes you. Stay nimble and fluid.  The world is going to give us a fascinating ride. 

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I eagerly explore the new ideas that come from the Divine Feminine.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Question how you see the role of the Divine Feminine.  She has just begun to reveal her potential and the form she will take. What idea do you need to release?
  • Explore what calls to you and examine its potential. 
  • No need to choose yet, just explore and examine and consider its possibilities in your life.

===INNER WORK===

Review Your Year

This is a helpful reflective exercise.  Answer the following questions:

2021 Review

What went well this year?

What didn’t go so well this year?

What did I learn?

What I will do differently?

What will I do more of?

As new opportunities unfold ask:

Where is this leading?

Is there a role in this for me?

Do I want that role?

Do I want to explore more or let it move on?

We are going to be flooded with new ways to do things and it is an opportunity to get to know ourselves as we are now and to make some choices about where we want to go next.  Go exploring and be selective. The Divine Feminine is going to take us for an exciting and adventurous ride.

Develop a Habit of Inner Listening

I’m helping a friend explore and discover and establish her next path. My major advice is to listen. Listen to your inner nudges. Pay attention to the unexpected opportunities the universe provides. I do a lot of my exploring by writing. It doesn’t make any difference what I write, it’s that I write and in so doing open up a clear path for my inner voice to speak to me. It always helps me sort things out. It helps me explore a new possibility. You might dictate your thoughts into a document you keep on your computer. Just dictate it and give it a title. And a date. I’m big on using a table of contents to keep track of that kind of journaling in order to have an overview of my thoughts. When you get in the habit of simply dictating an idea, you’ll be surprised at what you reveal. Start listening to your inner voice and see where it leads you. 

Expect the Best. Do Not Settle for Second Best

We get what we expect. We get what we believe we deserve. We get what we believe is possible. Do not settle for second best. 

This is not just about optimism, this is about expectation. I believe in wholeness, high vibration, cosmic consciousness, and oneness. As we live our human lives in this huge collection of humankind, we must raise our expectations and our beliefs and take the highest road possible. Expect the best, do not settle for second best. You deserve it.

===SELF-HEALING===

Vibrational Work

I am creating positive changes in my 89-year-old body and it is very comforting to experience the power of vibrational work in the bitfields.  

I do Qigong each day. But I also do acupressure.  I have set up a table near a chair where I have put all sorts of acupressure tools and my tuning forks. I sit there several times a day and work with my body.   You don’t have to know the meridians, just find the sore places in your body and massage them. It’s not at all strenuous.  And it is producing results. I also do intentional humming to send vibrations to my body. This is an easy self-care habit to acquire.

===OUTER  WORK===

Broaden Your Support System

Having the physical help I need has made a huge difference in the quality of my life experience.  It’s not easy to ask for help but when you experience the relief of hard-to-do physical aspects of your life being taken from you, the relief is huge.  I have added two physical pain support people to my team – a physical therapist and a fabulous woman who loves to clean.  They have changed my world.  I have a core group of friends that I talk with regularly on Zoom that are a lifeline to intellectual curiosity and spiritual expansion and supportive friendship.  What or who do you need in your life that would support a forward motion? Where would you find it? And will you ask for the help? Keep broadening your support system. 

When You are Aligned You Can Move Freely

I have no idea what’s actually going on in my body, but I woke up one day this week and my left hip was aligned clear up to my waist. And I could walk better, I could stand straighter. I have no idea what was released. I just know that the alignment changed and the result was dramatic. What is out of alignment in your life and what would one small shift do to bring everything back into a stronger connection?

Discovering Your Next

I used to be able to coach people into a new place of service but a lot of what I know how to do is perhaps no longer useful.  That said, your place of service is about following your heart and exploring and expanding your gifts into new places of expression and service.  For me personally, it has always been about what I can learn next. 

I have a friend who is 68, retired from her profession but wants and needs to create income.  Some of the things I know to do to create a new career path are still valid – if a target audience is too far into the need to simply survive, they cannot move from that into a higher consciousness level of exploration (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs). But I think we teach what we want to learn.  What do we know, what do we want to learn, how do we put that together to move ourselves and others forward? 

In our conversation, we discovered a deeply  personal and relevant aspect of my friend’s past that could be the starting point for evolving her next plan of service.  My suggestion is to simply begin going in that direction to see what unfolds and how it feels.  In her case I suggested she get one document on her computer and start writing and exploring any relevant ideas that show up. And let that intuitive writing open the door to new possibilities. 

First, you have to identify the problem that you want to help others solve.  It may be something you want to learn too. We learn by teaching. We help others learn by sharing our process of exploration, discovery, and change. 

The form is secondary.  She wants to teach, she wants to write, there are technical steps like websites and list building to take. But first, you have to know who you want to serve and how you want to serve them. 

What do people need?  What has changed dramatically that you can help them with?  What is the problem you will help solve?

My main message is to explore deep within yourself to find what new direction is ready to emerge that will take you where you need/want to be next. Then turn and bring others with you. 

Go exploring to discover your “next.” Then make it happen.

Mark the Trail

I was working on my thoughts for the coming year and I got “I am to go exploring and mark the trail.”  What does that mean?  What does that look like?  The exploring part I get – I stay open to what calls me to learn and understand next.  Part of the trail I leave is what I write or podcast about, but the majority of what I am to do is experiment and share what I learn.  It will probably not be my personal path because my role is explorer and path-finder and way-shower.  I am to stay free and loose and full of curiosity and report what I discover – the possibilities, the changes, the new insights.  I am to explore and share what I find.  I can do that.

Use Your Curiosity As A Compass

Our curiosity is a gift. It is a guide. It is a planner of adventures. It opens new portals and shows us the path. Do you listen to your curiosity? Do you nurture your curiosity? Do you take time to explore what your curiosity suggests might be a new adventure? Pay attention to your curiosity and take time to follow its nudges. It will show you the way. 

The Flexible Plan

A plan is only as good as the results it produces – if it gets you where you need to go. Sometimes there are detours that add unexpected richness to the experience. Be open to those. Take a few steps, stop and examine the new vista, then make new choices based on the new view you have just acquired.  That means every step forward requires you to stop and look around to see what has changed, and choose which direction to go next.  Life is one big stepping stone after another.  

Do take the next step. Do take another step.  Do explore the ideas that pop up.  Your insight, your decisions, your choices are the springboard to your version of “next”. Choose away.

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Are You Open to Possibilities?

As I use intention and focused vibration for self-healing, I have to keep looking at the subtle changes that show me a path to new possibilities.  They can be subtle and I may have to look closely for them but change is constant when I look for it.

When inviting change into your life, we have to be alert to subtle nudges and gradual changes.  Trust  your spiritual practice.  Trust your self-healing practice and stay open to the possibilities they suggest. 

Do You Allow Yourself to Receive?

Self-sufficiency is a good thing – unless you carry it too far. Do you allow yourself to receive? Are you aware of what is being offered? Do you accept it with graciousness? Sometimes the gifts are very small and you have to look closely in order to notice them. Sometimes the gifts are downright life-changing. 

Notice what is being offered to you by those around you. Notice what is being suggested to you by the energy of the universe. Allow yourself to receive. You deserve it. You are worthy. Allow yourself to receive.

===BROADEN YOUR HORIZON – EXPAND YOUR VIEW===

Where Are You Looking?

I have to raise my gaze.  I am looking down, at my body and my work to strengthen it.  That seems immediate.  But it is not what I want to focus on. Raise your gaze. 

As I sit here watching all manner of new opportunities and challenges make themselves known, allowing themselves to be considered, they point the way to a whole new path for moving forward. 

We have to question and explore and consider everything that shows up to see how it resonates with our personal path and the path of the Divine Feminine as she moves in to redesign the world. 

Maybe you begin to make a list of new things that are possible that were not in existence last year.  There is new science, there are new ideas, there are new social causes.  I feel like I am skimming along on the surface of a roaring ocean trying to find the landing place of my next place of service.  

Use your imagination to explore.  Use your curiosity to figure out new places of service. Where are you looking and are you looking broad and far enough? Raise your sights. 

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

How Do We Help Bring In The Unfolding Divine Feminine?

The Divine Feminine is unfolding and seeks expression.  I am to help her find ways to express herself and establish her authority.   My daughter is a top-ranking female manager in her company and her group is the only one in the whole organization that is working well.  The groups led by men are not.  She says she’s in meetings a lot which means there is collaboration and discussions and a group director.  That’s the way of the Divine Feminine. 

Another woman friend is completing a cycle of major leadership and the male person in charge of finding her replacement, instead of looking within the organization for a person to promote, is looking outside.  A very masculine approach.  

Can you begin to see the differences between masculine and feminine leadership in your workplace? What’s working?  How can you help bring in the Divine Feminine? How is your new role evolving?  Stay fluid.  Keep flexible.  She is making herself known. 

Your Mind is Your Guide. Your Curiosity is the Compass

I got this message in a journey – “Your mind is your guide, your curiosity is your compass”. I cannot look very far into 2022 because the change is so deep and is just beginning to make herself known. Our job is to stay centered in our values and flexible in how we express then. And we even get to question our values. Are they based on inclusive concepts? I bet a lot of them or not. How do we build our place in this unfolding New World of the Divine Feminine? I think our job is to listen to look, to explore, perhaps even try out a few new roles. But most of all we must listen to our inner voice and what it tells us. Let your mind be your guide and curiosity be your compass.

Leave Space to Take a Wrong Turn

The wonderful thing about taking a wrong turn is the amazing new places you get to discover. That actually means there is no such thing as a wrong turn. Because wherever you are, there is opportunity. Don’t fill your life so full that you can’t take an unexpected turn and just go exploring. Each day should be an adventure not a march down a given path. There should be pauses to look around and check out the scenery. There should be pauses to feel and experience and absorb the energy of the moment. And make adjustments according to what you discover. Leave room in your life to go exploring. To try on a new experience for size, to see how it feels, to see if it will take you where you want to go. See what adventure it takes you on. Go exploring and leave space to take a “wrong” turn. You never know what magic you may discover.

I’ve been a Democrat all my life but only recently realized that I’m actually a Progressive Democrat. So it was with interest that I found myself wanting to acknowledge Republican Liz Cheney for her work on the Investigating Committee for January 6. 

I had to post my note on her Facebook page because I’m not from her state but I thanked her for standing tall in her beliefs and for being such an outstanding example of leadership in the emerging Divine Feminine. I know she will remain a leader of the thoughtful, inclusive Republicans who will split off and redefine themselves.  It is a changing time, isn’t it? We get to rethink everything. 

Who do you see being true to themselves and helping the Divine Feminine emerge?  Perhaps you could acknowledge them.

===INTENTION BLESSING===

There is a new path we are walking.  It is the High Path.  The High Road.  It keeps us walking above the fray. 

May we hear and heed the call of the Divine Feminine. 

May we expand our hearts and our expectations.

May we walk the Path of Light with a sure foot. 

May we keep our gaze on the summit.

May we take this journey with a full heart. 

I entwine my light with yours and we move forward to guide the way.

===CARA’S CORNER===

My Unfolding Role in 2022

I’ve been journeying a lot to receive guidance from my spiritual guides so that I step into 2022 headed in the direction that is most powerful and effective for me. 

Now that I see the Circle of Light Beings in all our glorious diversity, I am to focus on how we are to be contributing members to the Unfolding Divine Feminine. I know we are to play our individual harps and our individual songs but there is also an overarching composition that creates powerful change.  We will explore what that looks like and develop a new symphony of powerful, guiding, life-changing harmony.

The second message I got is that I am to establish a spiritual practice that is self-healing and informative to a rapidly unfolding world. I’m working on the vibrational self-healing part but there is much more to be revealed. 

The guiding message was “Your mind is your guide. Your curiosity is the compass.”

Here we go adventuring….!

“She is planted in her own integrity, and there she stands, gnarled and knotted, perfectly at ease with herself, her roots deep in truth, her branches held up to let the light in.”  – Stephen Mitchell Second Book of Tao

I am that tree. Standing with my roots deep into the life I have chosen for myself with my gnarled branches offering shade and comfort while some are reaching the sky for inspiration and future growth. What is your tree of life like?

I have been here a long time. My roots are deep, my branches are spread, I have made my home, my place on earth. My “next” is up to me – my choices, my expectations. I lift my branches and joyously reach into the Unfolding Unknown.

Autonomy – The New Freedom

By

Autonomy  – The New Freedom

Creating Conscious Connection

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

Autonomy is about self-governing.  Being independent. Taking responsibility for all your choices – and their outcome.  It is very freeing.  Autonomy is about being true to yourself. It is about having a sense of freedom and control in your life.  

On the mental level I feel very free in my life.  I get to write about what calls to me and explore what beckons without any regard to trying to make a living. I truly can explore anything I want – mentally.  Physically not so much anymore. But my inner world is expanding…

I have a very strong sense of purpose and the imagination and flexibility to allow my focus to shift as I expand my awareness and my horizon. I go exploring a lot.  And I listen to my inner voice all the time.  

Autonomy is about your sense of purpose. I am exceedingly lucky to be 88 and have such a strong sense of purpose. It makes my days rich in exploration and discovery.

Autonomy is also about what you refuse to put up with any longer. I made a very unusual decision 50 years ago to leave the Midwest and go to New York City.  It was life-changing.  My first week in NYC, I attended an event with a panel of achieving women saying they were more powerful because of having taken  “est” and that was the beginning –  est, Reiki Master Teacher Fourth Degree, Certified Bach Flower Counselor, Trager Practitioner.  I taught Reiki to young men when the AIDS epidemic was just beginning.  I read only philosophical books and took classes at the New School with powerful teachers and I immersed myself in a great city for discovery and expansion.  I explored things that were not yet in the mid-west I had left. 

Even when I was working for someone else, I worked as a temp rather than commit.  I was an explorer on a roll!

This is a fascinating time to reposition ourselves, to open up new paths to explore and potentially take.

Pause to examine what you are tolerating now that you don’t want to do, don’t need to do, or seems not to be lining up for you right now.  What can you release?

What is your passion?  Your primary gifts? Are you using them?

Cultivate a new community of like-minded friends online and support each other in moving along your similar paths together. 

What do you want to manifest in your life right now?   Choose one and find creative ways to make it happen. 

How are you expressing your autonomy – your individuality – your sacred calling? 

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I make choices that are true to my gifts and my purpose.

Our Destiny and Self Responsibility

An Exploration of the Unseen World

We are in an era of profound change.  How we form our “next”, our future, is up to us and the choices we make today – in each moment.  

The world seems so chaotic. There is so much going on, that it is easy to feel helpless, like a small pebble in a very large ocean. But we have great power and it lies in each choice, each thought, each belief. 

Our destiny is up to us. We must take self-responsibility for what we think, the words we speak, the actions we take, the choices we make and the beliefs we hold. That’s how we manifest our “next.”  Our destiny.

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.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

The Vibration behind Your Beliefs

The Magical Power of an Affirmation

How to Build a Launching Pad for Your Inner work

How to Partner with the Energy of the Universe  

===INNER WORK===

Centered Serenity – Ready but Waiting

I’ve drawn the Oracle card “Ready but Waiting” a lot the past few months. How we wait is important.  “Centered Serenity” came up for me.  I can be expectant or excited but the best place for waiting for something to unfold is in centered serenity.  A peaceful place of being present in the now. An aware place of listening deep within. There is nothing to do – you are ready and you are to wait for your next step to unfold.

As I learn to wait with centered serenity,  I use my breath to move into my Still Point, drop my shoulders, relax my body, and immerse myself  in the silence around me. I am in a moment of being nothing – of being everything. As I allow my body to merge with and dissolve into the unseen world, I experience myself as part of a grand scheme, a larger purpose.  And I know and trust that when I wait with open willingness, my next step will be shown to me in the perfect tine. 

Make Room for Change

Change can take its time unfolding and it can also happen in an instant. We get to be both patient and alert. And don’t overthink the nudges and ideas and circumstances that show up. Let it unfold and chose in the moment.   

When a new idea or circumstance presents itself, center yourself and examine it from an overview perspective of where you are and where you want to go.  

These months of cutting back on content have given me space to rebalance, to explore new ideas, to adjust what I am doing  All because I made space – the space of nothing to do except what I felt called to do in the moment.  If that was thinking, fine. If it was a nap, fine.  If it was an idea to explore, even better.  Immerse yourself in a large chunk of nothingness and see what shows up.

===OUTER  WORK===

See the Bigger Picture 

It’s so easy to get caught up in detail and lose sight of our bigger vision.  I’m watching this new vision for process podcasts unfold and because it is unfolding I need to stay loose, I need to be flexible.  I need to be patient.  I need to give myself room for this vision to unfold – allow time for the concepts to evolve and mature.  So each step I take is leading me into a broader view of what is possible.  

Give up on the details and raise your gaze to see where you are headed.

===DEEPEN  YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

The Huge Impact of our Word Choices 

We are not always conscious of our word choices and the affirmation they give us.  “I can’t” is the first one that comes to mind.  That’s a show-stopper.  Feel the difference in these words: That’s easy.  That’s too far.  That’s hard.   That’s exciting. That’s fun.  I love this. That is beautiful.  My heart is open.  I feel the connection. All is well in my world.  

Just notice the words you say to yourself and others as you move through your day.  And perhaps rethink some of your word choices…

Where is Your Sanctuary?

A sanctuary is a place for refuge, a place of safety.  Where is your sanctuary?

Sometimes we find sanctuary in nature.  Sometimes we find sanctuary in music.   Sometimes we find sanctuary in family or friends. 

I have a pretty even life going on so the idea of seeking sanctuary is a bit odd for me but what promoted this was the idea of a “garden as refuge.” To me that means a place of serenity, tranquility, contemplation.  

My entire home is a sanctuary, a place of nurturing and restoration, a place of creativity and discovery.  And every day in ceremony, I set up protection and raise its vibration.

Sanctuary means a place where you can be alone – with just you and your thoughts and feelings. You might find sanctuary in the ring support of others, but the sanctuary I’m thinking of is where you go to be with yourself. Do you set aside time to do that?

I have a morning ceremony in which I sit and look out at nature and play my flutes and drums and tuning forks and offer my intentions for the day and draw my oracle card.  That is a sacred time for me – a meaningful time –  and it sets the tone for my day.  

Where is your sanctuary and how do you use it?     

===DEEPER SONG  INSIGHTS ===

Dictation

Have you learned to dictate to your computer yet? It is a most freeing and amazing technique to master.  

On a Mac Choose Edit > Start Dictation (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).

Tip: If dictation is set up, you can also press the Function key (fn) on your keyboard twice to start dictation.

This is super fast.  That function key is in the lower left hand corner so it’s very handy.  When the microphone appears, start talking.  And be sure to speak the punctuation like “period” or you will have one doozy of a run-on sentence….

(Sorry, can’t help you on a PC.)

I’ve begun to dictate a lot and I love it!  It also spells better than I do….

===MY DEEPER SONG  ADVENTURES ===

The Seven Sacred Rays – A New Offering

I am still tingling as I write to share this.  I am taking shamanic class from Puma Fredy Quispe Singona and we are studying the Seven Sacred Rays.  We began with the red and orange ray.  I took a journey to the Red Ray yesterday but today I took a journey to the Orange Ray and I am still tingling all over as I write this. After my journey, I immediately begin to write the first draft of a guided meditation journey I will share with you in a future podcast. I wrote the first Deeper Song Guided Meditation to the Orange Ray.  It is very powerful and I will record a guided journey/meditation for each of the Seven Sacred Rays.  But meanwhile, I have just written a first draft and allowed myself to be deeply guided as I did.  There are many steps to take before I share it with you – journey for guidance, writing the script, recording, editing, but this series is a high priority. So here we go adventuring – together.

More on the Seven Ray Journeys

I have just begun my work with the Seven Sacred Rays but the message I am receiving is that the Seven Rays are portals to the Unseen World. They are our connection, our bridge.  We must simply expand our awareness, raise our sights, and journey on. This is incredibly powerful work and it has just begun.

What Do You Need to Leave Behind?

I think I even misread the concept.  The post said to rethink our services page from the standpoint of a visitor.  I like the idea of reviewing my website but since I only offer podcasts and newsletters I have no services page and I went to my About page.  I made some major changes that sharpened my focus. 

If you have a website, I suggest you review it yearly to see if it still reflects what you are doing and where you are heading.  

I’m going to do fewer personal growth posts and move more deeply into the Unseen World. I very much need to shorten my newsletter but I get excited and want to share.  

Whether you are an entrepreneur or have a job, write your who-and-do-what statement to get a handle on where you are and where you would like to go.

I help (the people you help)

To do (what you help them to do)

So that (what your work teaches/frees them to do. 

If that is your goal, how are you delivering that result?  Do you need to update your offerings? How do you need to redefine and reposition in today’s new and unfolding energy?

== MESSAGES FOR THE DEEPER SONG COMMUNITY FROM THE SACRED EARTH ORACLE CARDS===

Revision

“Revision” is the oracle card I drew for us. We are constantly revising our direction as we change our choices. We are consciously and constantly revising our conclusions as we gain more information. So does revision mean new information? Does revision mean leaving some things out? I like the idea of revising my thinking. As these new process podcasts emerge, I am  revising my thinking about what they should be like, what they should contain, what the order is. So new information and new viewpoints are some of the qualities that go into making a revision. 

What do you need to revise? What do you need to let go?  Revision can be about a total rearranging and it can also be revising one word. One phrase. What are you going to revise in your life and how are you going to do it? Oh yes, and when are you going to do it???

Sacred Earth Cards

===CARA’S CORNER===

Give Yourself Time

It isn’t that I haven’t been getting the messages, it’s that I hadn’t been heeding the messages.  I thought I had a huge breakthrough.  I re-wrote my who-and-do-what statement and it allowed many ideas to simply drop away and I felt myself rise into my new place of service. 

But in looking back over my notes from both my shamanic journeys and my notes from my daily oracle card drawings, the ideas for this change in direction have been hammering me on the head until I finally got the message.  The clues and suggestions were there – again and again, and again.  And yet the day it all came together for me was like being shot out of a cannon.  Many ideas and possibilities dropped away because they were not included in this new mission statement, this new definition of my purpose. They were no longer a part of my Grand Plan.

And it has taken months.  

And yet the day it all came together, it was like feeling myself rise to the surface ad begin to swim in strong sure strokes.  I knew my new purpose and my destination.  It feels great 

The Universe is talking to you. The Universe is showing you.  And each nudge takes you closer to where you are to do next. 

Notice what you need to free up in order to make room or this new awareness to unfold.  It has been important for me to make space to ask myself what I feel like doing – and then do that.  I was too crowded with have-to’s that I had made up to have time for many feel-like times. 

I also had to accept an idea that has bothered me since I first heard it. Last year Shamanist Ingerman said some of us were going into a new level of consciousness and it was our job to help others find the bridge and cross it or not.  Not everyone would come over and that really bothered me.  And yet, as I do a reality check on what I can and cannot do at 88, there is not much I can do on the physical plane to address physical plane needs, but I can do a lot on the inner planes.  I take a reality check to see where my choices have led me, see how aligned I am with my overarching goal, and chose my next steps that I can and will joyously do. Then I clarify my over-arching purpose. I’m like a helium balloon being let go to soar off into the sky.  

So here’s my updated who-and–do-what statement.  In many ways, it’s not new, except for the final step which allows me to stop doing some of what I was doing and focus on the adventures into the unseen world that I cherish.  

“I help those of us who are aware of our role as vibrational beings
To raise our vibration, elevate our expectations, and move into a higher level of conscious participatio
So that we can cross the bridge to a new dimension and bring others along with us.n
I do that by offering experiences that deepen our awareness of ourselves as pure vibration.”

How has your purpose changed?  What will you let go?  What does that free you to focus on?

A DEEPER SONG

I lift the anchor of beliefs and expectations. 

I lift the anchor of beliefs and expectations that have been holding me back. 

I lift the anchor of beliefs and expectations that have been holding me back and raise my sails to catch the wind!!!!!

I am off on an adventure. 

I am off on an adventure and I trust the winds of change to guide me well.  

I am off on an adventure and I trust the winds of change to guide me well.  I skim the Ocean of Perennial Promise and keep my eye on the emerging horizon. 

Yeah adventuring.

Unleash the Power of a Creative Spiritual Practice
An Inner-world Exploration

Your spiritual practice should be eclectic.  It should reflect you – what you believe in, what you need in your life right now.  However, there are four elements to address as you continue to create and evolve your personal spiritual practice: regular practice, receptive atmosphere, intention and vibrational actions.

Regular practice is the foundation of your spiritual work

The truth is, you can add a bit of spiritual practice anytime, anyplace, but to elevate your awareness and deepen your connection, you need to create and maintain this spiritual practice.  

Begin your day with inner work.  Whether it’s a sitting meditative practice or an active meditative practice like yoga or Qi Gong, or both, you have control over your mornings, you can get up and stay tuned into yourself and to your inner world. 

In the evening, you can add an element of spiritual practice when you move from workday to home. When I learned Transcendental Meditation fifty years ago, it was suggested we meditate 20 minutes upon arriving home in order to make that transition from work to family. 

You can create another spiritual practice at bedtime, in gratitude for the day and in preparation for inner work during the night of rest. 

Create a receptive atmosphere 

For your spiritual practice, choose a place that feels tranquil to you and use it regularly. The energy in that space will build, the vibration will heighten, and the mere space will become a source of serenity and nurturing for you. 

Sit on a chair or cross-legged and use a mudra (hand position) of your choosing to center you. Begin with hands lying palm up on your lap, one hand lying on top of the other, your thumbs touching.  Experiment with mudras to find what calls to you. 

Set an intention for your meditative session

Intention is the most powerful tool we have in all our inner work. It sets our course and is the wind beneath our wings. 

What’s the purpose of your period of inner work?  To heal?  Clarity around a choice or action? To receive guidance from the unseen world? To bless the day or offer gratitude at the day’s end?  Perhaps your intention is to raise your vibration or heighten the impact of your illumined service.   

Consciously set an intention for every meditative session.

Use the power of vibration to heal and balance

We’re all one vibration.  We communicate through vibration. Your spiritual practice can creatively contain many forms of vibration. 

Create vocal vibrational sounds

First, simply sit quietly and breathe. Notice your breathing. As you exhale, release any tension or worry. Empty your mind and sit in silent stillness. 

Then begin to hum.  Whatever note you hum, notice where it vibrates in your body.  Try different pitches and see where they resonate.  Direct the hum to your hands or feet.  Direct the hum to any part of your body that needs balancing. Just hum.  Let the melodies simply appear, and experiment with directing the vibration of the tone.

You can focus sound on your chakras for opening and balancing them.  You can send sound to the world, or a person or a situation.  Take a slow deep breath, set an intention and hum the vibration where you want it to go. 

Experiment with vibrational instruments

Find the vibrational instruments that resonate with you. We’re talking drums, flutes, bells, gongs, rattles, clapping your hands, tapping a rhythm on the arm of your chair, toning, chanting.  This is where you do the most experimenting.  

Create a ceremony that is uniquely yours 

A ceremony anchors your intention.  Create one that works for you. You might honor the seven directions – East, South, West, North, Above, Below and middle world.  I also honor the Stone Clan and Nature. I use a drum and I drum and sing. I see that drum as connecting me to all the worlds. 

I have two rain-sticks.  I use them to welcome in the blue light of power, the green light of healing and the white light of unconditional love. 

I use my small Tibetan gong to send energy to my past, my present and future. I use my Tibetan cymbals to send it to my home, the people of the earth and the planet.  I use my rattle to shake around my home and send positive energy to all the crystals and groupings and to my cats and plants.  

I give an intention to each vibrational creator I use.  Gong, claves, thumb piano, flutes, rattles, bells.  Listen to what you’re using and intuitively find its purpose. 

The Manifestation Box

I have a lidded raffia box with a wonderful dragon on the front that I use for a manifestation box.  On pieces of paper, I write what I want to bring forth. It can be specific physical healing, it can be ideas like wisdom and insight, healing the planet or simply an intention like “raised vibration.” Each day in my spiritual practice I open the box and read the intentions I’ve chosen.  With intention send positive energy to the choices you’ve made. 

Don’t forget the rocks!

Crystals hold a higher vibration and have guiding messages for you. Whether you hold a rock in your hand or place it on your altar, listen to the message it offers. 

My space is a tad full of crystals so I bring a few to the forefront for a week at a time and work with them and listen to their messages and advice and gifts.  Hold crystals in your left hand to receive. You may get a sensation in your body for you to interpret or simply pay attention to the thoughts that show up.  Learn to hear and interpret the messages of the crystals. 

Create vibrational movement

Movement is vibrational. Whether it’s Qi Gong or Yoga or T’ai chi or simply moving in rhythm to a chant, add conscious movement to your spiritual practice. You can also go outside and dance in nature.

Create a sacred altar

In the sacred space you have chosen for your spiritual practice, perhaps you place a simple table or plant stand to hold objects that resonate with you.  My “altars” are all around me.  One grouping is on the shelf in front of the desk that I sit at a lot.  Another altar surface is on a table under the window beside me. I look out the window to play my flute and work with other objects. It also happens to have a great place for some of my drums underneath. There is another low chest near the chair from which I drum and play a lot of my vibrational instruments. And my desk surface itself is full of crystals and sound instruments because this is where I spend most of my time.  This is where I sit to take my shamanic journeys because I change and type them in. 

Journal

Whether you journal by hand or on the computer, when you write down what you remember from your meditation it makes room for the next layer to be made evident.  Journaling also allows you to look back at your progress, or when something major happens, you can identify what you were doing to help that along. 

You can journal at the end of the day in reflection and gratitude.  You can journal to set your intentions for the day.  Record your visions your insights, your inner messages. It brings them more deeply into your awareness. 

Checklist for creating a unique and powerful spiritual practice

  • Regular practice is the foundation of your spiritual work. Pick some times and stick with them.
  • Create a receptive atmosphere of uninterrupted quiet.
  • Create vocal vibrational sounds and direct them for healing.
  • Experiment with vibrational instruments. Create power songs as you play if they offer themselves. 
  • Create a ceremony to begin and end each spiritual session that is uniquely yours. 
  • Don’t forget the rocks!
  • Create vibration movement.
  • Create and evolve your unique sacred altar.
  • Journal for deeper awareness.

Spend your day mindfully

Enter your day with mindfulness. Walk through your day with mindfulness and end your day in mindfulness. Find opportunities to reflect within throughout your day.

Your life is your spiritual practice!!!

Live it mindfully.
