How to Align Your Vibration within our Collective Vibrational Core

August 12, 2020 By Cara Lumen

How to Align Your Vibration within our Collective Vibrational Core

An Inner-World Exploration

In order to shift, realign, and rebalance our world, we must each deepen our awareness of that all-encompassing vibrational core, that one creative, generating, void energy, and know and feel ourselves to be just that – one energy.  

That means we become aware that we are one with each animal, each rock, each plant, each body of water, each cloud, the sun and moon, and each person that has manifested on the planet today and in the millions of years before. We are all one – an on-going energy that is consistent, constant and never changing at its core. That is who and what we all are, the spiritual core of One Energy that has temporarily expressed itself as an individual human form.

Radiate wholeness in your spiritual practice 

We increase our personal vibration when we use our spiritual practice to consciously embrace this concept of everything being one vibrational energy. 

We experience our oneness. Then we begin to listen to our one voice, our one, unified vibration.

Our inner energy body speaks to us in many ways – our intuition, our hunches, our inner voice, our simply knowing.  Notice your feelings. Learn to interpret them. Then go beyond that. Learn to interpret those subtle nudges that are messages from the all-generating void.  

I regularly experience strong feelings, unexpected insights, and a loud inner voice.  In addition, I purposefully explore the unseen worlds through a regular practice of shamanic journeys. It is a form of meditation that allows imaginative metaphors to give you insights, understanding, clarity, and guidance from your core all-encompassing, vibrational self. 

Your dreams will also give you a glimpse of the invisible realms. 

But in both cases, we have to interpret these subtle messages from the limitations of our body form which sees us as individual and separate. We must overcome that feeling of separateness and feel and know ourselves to be One. One energy.  One whole.  One.

Share your vibration with the world

Begin to feel and think of yourself as that core vibrating energy of the all-encompassing One Energy. You may choose to lose yourself in the steady inhale-exhale of your breath until your mind quiets and you float into nothingness. You will find the Great Void in mediation. You will experience that feeling of leaving behind your limiting body form while you journey into invisible realms, the core spiritual energy, the Great Nothingness.

Learn to keep that feeling of oneness with you

Once you have experienced your oneness with all, cultivate the practice of bringing that awareness into your body life. Perhaps it is a pause to look out the window at nature. Perhaps it is moment in which you close your eyes and release your mind and embrace pure tranquility. Find your own way to keep the awareness of  pure, all-encompassing vibrational energy in your body life.  

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Chose a form of mediation, immerse yourself in it, and begin to experience your body disappear. 
  • Experience yourself as nothingness, void.  It may have a color, it may not.  
  • Free yourself of human images that limit you and go exploring in this all-encompassing oneness. 
  • Enjoy. 
  • Repeat.

Live In Your Center 

September 26, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Live In Your Center
OUR LUMINOUS LEGACY

“Stay at the center of the circle and let all things take their course.”
-Tao Te Ching, tr. Stephen Mitchell

There’s only one safe place to be in the midst of chaos – at the center of your being.  When you stand steady in the light that is your core self, the world can go crazy around you and you will simply stand there and be – be source, be light, be serene, know that you are integrated in the One Energy.

How do I stay in my center?

First, you have to realize that your safe center exists. You have to know that your center is the safest, most supportive place you can be. It is not a place in your body suit, it is a place in your invisible world.  

It is your center and it is filled with unconditional love for you and your process in life.  You can go to your this spiritual place for shelter – easily and often. 

Change begins from within

You have control over what you think and say and do.  And what you think and say or do affects your life experience.  What you focus on you get more of.  

What are you focusing on?  The good news or the bad?  The harmony or the disharmony? 

Your choice.  Your life. 

What to do when you feel helpless

There are some things you can do nothing about on the physical plane, but you can make great changes on the inner plane. Rather than feel helpless or hopeless, go where you can do a great deal to make changes in your inner self, the place within where we’re all one light and where we can join with others who are working to increase their light so we may affect the collective consciousness.  Working with our light within, we have power to create change. Working with other light beings, we have even greater power. 

Don’t get pulled off center

I watch people continue to make choices out of concern only for their own well-being, rather than the broader good. It’s tempting to become dismayed or discouraged because we’re so connected. 

But I’m not helpless – I have total control over my thoughts, my beliefs, my actions.  My job is to stay open and aware and flexible. And make certain my choices are inclusive and for the highest good of the most people. 

Let your feelings guide you

Notice how you feel.  Use your emotions and feelings as a barometer.  If you feel distressed, let go of what you’re focused on, move within and find that place of peace, that place of oneness where all of us are serene. Stay there for a while. 

Replenish yourself in this center of peace and light and unconditional love until you feel ready to go back into the world.  

Let your feelings and emotions guide you.  Turn off the negative news, the violent television shows, walk away from the angry person, do not continue a competitive conversation.  

You always have a choice. Reside in the center of your being, that place of peace and serenity that you can get to in the intake of a single breath.  

Move within, calm your mind, feel the lightness of the energy you have within you and let that permeate your entire being until the activity on the surface of your life no longer has any effect. 

Breathe – let go. Shift your gaze to focus only on the positive.  That’s how you stay in your center.

What Core Beliefs Are Guiding You Today?

August 22, 2018 By Cara Lumen


What Core Beliefs Are Guiding You Today?
An Inner World Exploration

Your core beliefs are the ideals that you base your life upon. They affect everything you say and do and think.  Because of that, at various times throughout our lives, we each need to pause and examine our core beliefs to see if they are still relevant to the way we choose to live our life. 

Ask yourself: What are the core beliefs driving my life? How have I changed?  How has the world changed?  Are the core beliefs I have built my life upon still the most worthy choices for me or should I be adjusting by examining new core beliefs? 

Pause to look at what is more important to you at this point in time. Make new choices – or strengthen your resolve around the core beliefs you choose to keep.

What do you believe in now?  How are those beliefs impacting your life? How have they changed as you gain more clarity and insight? What’s important to you at this point in your life?  What do you need to explore, contemplate, change in yourself in order to make certain your core beliefs are serving our collective consciousness in this changing world, that they reflect who you have become and what you hold as most important?

What are your current core beliefs?

“Core beliefs” is an elusive term.  Stop right now and say aloud three of your core beliefs.  I’ll bet it’s a bit tricky to come up with them because we don’t often pause to examine the subtle beliefs that are at the core of every response we have. We simply unconsciously let our beliefs guide every step we take and every decision we make. 

Unconsciously!  Without thinking or examining or asking questions!

It would make sense for us all to examine our core beliefs and make certain they support our current life path and experience. 

What core beliefs did you identify and how are they affecting your life?

I had to figure out what my core beliefs are. Then I looked to see how I’ve changed and how/if my core beliefs needed to change. I wanted to identify core concepts that will support and comfort and guide me in today’s chaotic world. It wasn’t enough to identify them, I had to prioritize them so I knew what was important to me, what was driving my life, the beliefs I was building my life upon. 

Shift from “me” to “we”

One of the hardest things to do is to change your mind.  Particularly when you are so sure you are right.  But “right” means different things to each person.  “Right” is usually based on how much you know about a situation, the alternate solutions/possibilities you have taken time to explore, and your willingness to change your thinking as you gather new information. 

In my opinion, the most powerful shift we can make in our core beliefs is to move from “me” to “we.” 

What are the core beliefs that influence every choice you make?  

Core Belief #1: We are all one

My foundational core belief that drives everything I think or say or do is that we are one energy.  All one interconnected energy in the Emptiness That Holds Everything.  That means everything I think or say or do – or believe – affects the whole.  And what you think and say and believe affects me. 

If you embrace this core belief that everyone is one source energy, that means that you are energetically one with the guy down the street you don’t like very much.  It means we are energetically one with the people doing really bad things to others.  

No, I don’t like that either.  But we are all one Primal Source Energy. And that very interconnection makes it possible for both of us to influence the whole – for better or worse.  Our thoughts have power.  When we focus, we can shift the consciousness of the world. 

We are like a Cosmic Ocean in which our actions ripple out to affect the whole, in which giant waves ebb and flow and affect the whole even as they are a part of the whole. And like a Cosmic Soup, my “seasoning” affects the whole.  As does yours. That means that what I do in my life affects the lives of others, as my actions ripple out over our Cosmic Ocean of Oneness.  That’s a big responsibility.

And I’m standing here being swamped by waves from the actions of others.  

I get to choose what part of the ocean I live in.  I may be an active wave crashing against the cliffs, or a tranquil reflective lagoon.  I get to choose my place of service in the Cosmic Ocean.

So, my primary core belief is that we are all one Primal Energy and that my actions ripple out and affect the whole. 

What am I sending out?

Knowing myself to be an impactful ripple in our world will cause me to be mindful of my choices and my actions.  My words and my deeds.  My thoughts and my beliefs.  It opens me up to empathy and compassion and unconditional love – for me – and since we are all one energy, unconditional love for all others.

Is one of your core beliefs that we are all one? It will make a powerful impact on your life if it is.

Core Belief #2: We are capable of giving and receiving unconditional love

Another core belief I’m working to build my life upon, is that Unconditional Love is at the core of the Primal Source. My first step in embracing that core belief is to learn to accept unconditional love for myself. Then I can learn to extend unconditional love to others.  

Accepting unconditional love for yourself can be tricky. You know your flaws and shortcomings intimately, so accepting those, being patient with your own unfolding life process, loving yourself in spite of how you see yourself is a valuable place to start to understand and experience giving yourself the unconditional love that’s there for you. Learn to accept unconditional love into your life.  

Loving yourself unconditionally is a powerful place to begin to change your experience of our world.  If you are not worthy of unconditional love, who is?  You cannot give love to others until you give it to yourself. Begin by loving yourself.

When you learn to love yourself, your entire life will change. You will learn the power of love and feel your own value in the world. Then you will understand and accept how powerful unconditional love is and turn and radiate it into your world. 

We’re talking unconditional love here. Compete acceptance. 

Pause a moment in the here and now to accept and feel and experience that you are wrapped in unconditional, all-encompassing love.  Accept that love – unconditionally.

Extend your conscious practice of loving yourself to others

Is one of your core beliefs that you are deserving of unconditional love? Is one of your core beliefs that everyone is deserving of unconditional love?

The wall between you and others is built inside you. You are the only one who can take it down. When you begin to make room for a deeper connection with others by extending unconditional love both inward and outwardly, your experiences will expand and fill your heart!

We’re building on two core beliefs here. We are One Light Energy.  We each deserve and accept unconditional love. 

Core Belief #3: We are totally responsible for what happens in our own life

We create our own life experience.  We do that by our beliefs, our thoughts and our actions.  No one does it to us. We “do it” to ourselves by what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible.

Think about that.  You draw into your life what you think you deserve. That means accepting unconditional love for yourself because you deserve it.  What you believe is possible creates the parameters of what unfolds. It can be limiting or expansive.  It’s your choice. What do you believe you deserve and what do you believe is possible?

When you accept that we are all one energetic source, and that we are all connected, it means that the unconditional love you focus and share comes back to you to create and enhance your life experience. 

Change your thinking, change your life 

Core Belief #4 Our focused thoughts can change our life experience

Our thoughts create our reality. That means the focus of our thoughts should be monitored and purposefully directed. When our thoughts are aimed at the highest good, they have great power, they have the ability to create positive change.  In order to rise above the chaos in our current planetary experience, we must carefully and consciously choose the focus of our thoughts. 

A simple way to change your life experience is to focus on simply being the light that we are and joining with other light beings who are also focusing on the highest good for our world. That shift in focus has the power to change our life experience.  It doesn’t take away from the physical plane activism we may choose to do and it allows us to energetically join with others all over the world who are raising their vibration by focusing on peace and unconditional love.  

Not everyone can see their own light, let alone the light in others, but we are all over the world, often finding each other online in groups focused on a specific cause. Whatever your focus, go online and find those who are holding energetic gatherings that will raise the collective consciences. Join your energy with theirs and feel the collective power. 

There are other Light Beings working to heal the planet. Find them. 

Examine your core beliefs for relevance and adjustments 

Our core beliefs are the foundation stones upon which we build our lives.  You may still be standing on stones you don’t even know are there. You may have put them in place as a child, from what your parents told you or what you experienced as a child. Now you are an adult with some life experience and you need to examine your foundational beliefs again.

For each core belief you select, ask: “Does this foundation stone still reflect what my experience of life has shown me and is it supportive of the direction I am want to take my life?  Is this foundational belief still serving me in the midst of the changes of today?”  Then adjust your core beliefs to shape the life you want to live.

What are your current core beliefs?

We have considered these four core beliefs but there are many more possibilities. 

  • We are all one energy. Our actions and choices affect and influence the whole.
  • We are capable of giving and receiving unconditional love. Begin by loving yourself. 
  • We are responsible for our life experience.
  • Our focused thoughts can change our life experience

What are the core beliefs that are guiding your life?

 Are You Sacred Space?

July 18, 2018 By Cara Lumen

 Are You Sacred Space?
An Inner World Exploration

If I do not see myself as sacred space, I may not act like sacred space. So my first step is to see if I like the idea that I am sacred space and what it means if I am.

Unconditional love is at the heart of sacred space

To see if you can experience yourself as sacred space, sit quietly and focus on your breathing.  Quiet your mind and begin to feel yourself wrapped in a mist of unconditional love.  Feel it permeate your cells, the molecules, the space between the molecules.  You sit there as one gentle flowing mist of unconditional love. 

Do you accept unconditional love for yourself?  Can you feel yourself as unconditional love?

Unconditional love is at the heart of knowing yourself as a sacred space, and that unconditional love has to be focused first on you.  You must love yourself unconditionally. Only then can you see and feel and hear yourself as sacred space. 

You may have to work on that.  I did.

Can you feel unconditional love?  Can you accept it for yourself?  Do you feel you deserve unconditional love?  What’s stopping you?  

What does unconditional love feel like?

Unconditional love feels like you’ are perfect just the way you are.  That you are valued and appreciated and have meaning and impact in the world. You count. In fact, you count a lot. Whatever is going on in your life, you are loved. You are love.  

Stop and absorb that.  You are unconditionally loved. 

Let unconditional love move into your heart, let unconditional love move into your mind.  Let unconditional love move into your all-seeing third eye so that everything you see is unconditional love. 

You are now living as sacred space!

Feel your connection to all

We are all one – one energy, one pulse, one expression of life.  Move through your life mindfully with an increasing awareness of being connected to everyone and everything.  Feel connected to the birds outside your window.  Feel connected to the trees and the clouds and the wind.  Feel your oneness with nature.  

Take that feeling into your life. Feel the connection with your breath. It will remind you that you are sacred and you are to move through your life in a sacred manner.

Cultivate the inner stillness of sacred space

In sacred space, there’s no worry, no anger, no intolerance.  Only unconditional love and serenity.  The serenity of being present.  The serenity of being accepted and the serenity of offering acceptance. The serenity of being safe in the Web of Life, deeply embraced by the Emptiness That Holds Everything. 

Be that.  Feel that. Know that. 

A sacred space is aware

As a sacred space, you must stay present and aware.  Aware of your thoughts.  Aware of your beliefs. Aware of your actions and words.  In all you say and do and think, you naturally and organically radiate your sacredness because you are sacred. You are sacred space. When you mindfully radiate your sacredness, those around you will feel it, recognize it, and respond.

As sacred space, how do you treat yourself?

Sacred space is, well, sacred. You treat it with care and reverence.  Since you are sacred space, your body is a temple.  It houses your soul. You must treat it with appreciation and respect and great care.  You feed it, you cleanse it, you open windows to air it, you take it for walks in nature. You place your body in sacred service. 

How will seeing your body as a temple change how you care for its sacred space?

Learn to recognize the sacredness in others

You are sacred space.  I am sacred space.  Everyone and everything is sacred space!  That certainly changes how we walk in the world.  

Now that you know you are sacred space, what changes do you need to make?  What does that look like to you?  What does that feel like to you? 

I have to greatly broaden my feeling of connection with all the living energies in the world.  All of humanity.  All of nature.  I know we are all strands in the Web of Life and are connected at the core in the All-That-IS.  I need to learn to live as the interconnected sacred space that I am. 

Honor yourself as sacred space

At the end of each day, pause in gratitude for the offerings that have come to you. Those gifts may have come in the form of words or actions or thoughts.  They may be in the form of gifts or actions or circumstances.  Your day has been blessed.  Your sacredness has been noted.  And you have offered your light, your sacred self, in service to the world. 

Pay attention.  You are sacred space.

Do You have the Willingness to find Common Ground?

April 26, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Do You have the Willingness to find Common Ground?

There were great articles on where and how to create peace in The Shift Network newsletter.  I didn’t read them.  I couldn’t read them because…I don’t know.  I didn’t want to read about people doing cruel things to each other or systematically destroying our planet.  I feel helpless in the midst of the current chaos and friction in the world and, well, I don’t think I am really willing to compromise. And compromise we must in order to find the common ground that will bring us peaceful coexistence. 

I don’t even want to be around people who are slightly angry – their negative energy physically hurts my body.  So I avoid conflict.  I avoid disgruntled people. I avoid anger.

But that isn’t going to really make things better.  I have to participate. I have to compromise. I have to find common ground. 

We are all totally interconnected

My action here affects your life there.  If we both don’t raise our consciousness, we will neither one improve our level of participation, our level of life experience.  

For instance, if I am not consciously recycling trash, it may end up in the ocean affecting the fish you need to catch to feed your family. 

We each have different priorities, but we’re all connected. 

Can we have one core focus?

When we each decide that our primary concern/focus is sustaining our planet for ourselves, for our children, for our descendants, then we immediately identify specific steps to take. No pesticides. No GMO. More organic food production, no plastic wraps for food, positive emission steps to help slow climate change.  When we think of our future, our consciousness shifts and we make different choices. 

If you and I lived in a community built around a central garden that provides all our food, we would each do our best to make it the best, most productive garden we could.  We might try different methods.  And we would probably have an argument over organic versus genetically modified.  And I bet it would be an animated conversation, depending on what we each thought was more important – quantity or quality.  

We need to find common values

Let’s say everyone in our small community that has gathered around this one garden primarily wants to be healthy.  Finding common ground, common values is where you begin. But do you know how many versions of how to be healthy there will be?  One for each of us. 

An important awareness we must each develop is to know that we’re free to do what’s best for us according to our own knowledge and understanding – as long as it only affects us.  

As long as it only affects us.  So you really can’t put pesticides out anywhere near my organic vegetables because they will drift over to my plants and I won’t eat any of your genetically modified produce.  We have to grow our own food separately because our viewpoints are so opposing.  And yet our fundamental, common goal is the same.  Feed ourselves and our families. We simply have different ideas on how to make that happen.

I’m not going to change and you’re not going to change because our beliefs are very, very strong and it’s our survival we’re talking about, what we eat.  

That’s both a terrible example and a good example.  I’m a vegan so I have lots of strong feelings about what I eat.  But it does highlight just how core our opposing viewpoints can be and how difficult it can be to find common ground.

Fortunately, in today’s world, you can buy what you want and I can buy what I want.  Although here we go again, pesticides are killing the bumblebees and genetically modified food puts the entire food chain at risk of being totally eradicated because it is not diverse and if it goes, our entire food supply will go. 

Learn the facts

If you never thought about what’ll happen if all crops were genetically modified, it might be good to do some online research. Who is pushing for it (one chemical company) and what are the repercussions? One new blight, one adverse organism could wipe out our entire food supply.  

The dying, pesticide-poisoned bumblebee population is important to remedy because they are necessary for the cross-pollination of our crops.  Before we dig our heals in on a particular position we owe it to ourselves and to our world to educate ourselves about the degree of repercussions our choice would/could make.  We need to keep up with the latest discoveries, the new solutions, and be open to changing our views. The old way is obsolete nearly as fast as we figure it out. Change is a constant and we absolutely must be willing to keep up with it.

Live and let live only goes so far

We don’t live on the planet alone.  Every action we take affects everything, everyone. We must learn to live as globally conscious, flexible, innovative members of a planetary community.  I have no idea how to get everyone to do that.  I can see how a group of like-minded people would choose to live around a cooperative organic garden.  But what about the rest of the people in their community?  If they are doing things we see as destructive to our planet, what do we do?

We each have to give up something

We have to find common ground.  We will each have to compromise, give a little.  Maybe give way a lot.

But wait.  If I mess up my food source, I’ll die. That’s pretty basic.  I can see a “live and let live” approach to a lot of things – free choice about a lot of things – until it infringes on my clean air, my organic garden, my fresh water.  Then I dig in and refuse to budge.  That’s my survival that’s being messed with. 

If I were starving, I’d eat pretty much anything.  But we don’t have to get to the starving stage to find agreement. 

It’s when we come together to build something that conflict arises because compromise must be the core of collaboration. 

Let’s say we, in our community of both organic and non-organic believers, come together to organize and expand our town. 

First, we have to decide between short term and long-term planning. What is our over-arching goal?  Then we have to examine the repercussions. Everything is tied to everything else, so if I pull a string here, something unravels or tangles up over there.  Are we exchanging one knot for another?  What is best for the highest good?  How does filling this need now impact our children’s lives?

The first step is to agree on our over-arching purpose 

What is our over-arching purpose for this planet?  Survival would probably get everyone’s vote.  How we do that starts the discussion and referee the arguments. We may have to compromise because of cost.  We may have to prioritize because of pressing need.  We may have to forgo immediate results in order to take active foundational steps because they create positive long-term results.  We have to see the overview and hold it in front of us as we plan. We have to see the connection, how this move here will affect that situation over there. And we have to hold the same primary goal and keep moving toward our agreed upon end goal as we move forward together. 

Oh yes, and we all have to be flexible as the movement unfolds. We have to make adjustments for new discoveries, and new entanglements. 

So I’m going to join with other organic gardeners and have a plot to grow my food.  I’ll share some of my organic produce with those who have made other choices.  I may or may not point out how much healthier and stronger those of us who eat organic are, but maybe that will simply become noticeable.  That gradual awareness may cause others to make more conscious choices for their own well-being. 

That works unless I am forced to eat genetically modified food with pesticides on it.  

Then we’re back to core conflict.  

We must each learn to see the overview

If you’re in survival mode only, you can’t raise your gaze to see the long-term.  You don’t see the water table lowering or the seas rising or the glaciers melting. You can’t look that far beyond today’s survival. Therefore, you can’t or won’t be able to see how your actions of today affect the future.  Your focus is on the ground before you, one foot of survival at a time. 

But those of us who can see the overview must take steps to protect us all.  We can begin to do that by example.  If an organic diet makes us live longer, then others will see it.  If I carry my cloth grocery bag to the grocery store, others will see it and may think to carry their own.  If I’m very careful to recycle what I can, perhaps I need to offer to carry my neighbor’s recycling out for her to make certain it’s done.  

What can you offer to do for someone else that moves the world a little closer to wellness?

I can network.  I can tell my neighbors that when I order my groceries delivered, the drivers will take the plastic bags from the last delivery back and the store ships them to a special place for reprocessing.  They may not know that.  They may not choose to do that.  But I have passed forward the information of some positive, environmentally supportive choices they can make.

Raise your consciousness and the consciousness of others

I didn’t know the water table in Cape Town, South Africa, was so low it was at crisis level until I watched a PBS news report, which also informed me that California has a similar water table problem. I have no idea how a water table works or how to protect one. I’m in the mid-west so I’m not certain what I can do about either of those particular problems, but I can educate myself to figure out what that means and how my community is caring for our water table.  

If it turns out we need to make changes, I could go so far as to report what I find to the local government.  Maybe I have to do some educating.  And find like-minded people who are concerned. And be pro-active in helping to find a solution.

We cannot just sit around and let it happen to us

Many people will do nothing.  It’s simply not in their nature.  They’ll accept whatever shows up.  Others may find one particular cause, like animals that are nearing extinction, and donate money or join groups who are being pro-active in saving public lands. 

Whatever you’re called to do to preserve our planet, do it.  Make it a positive participation. Make certain it moves the cause forward.  Even if it’s in your small corner of the world.  Let others know what you found. Give them the information they need to make informed and more pro-active choices. 

Raise your sights. Raise your values. Be an influencer

Do not settle.  Be an influencer.  Make others aware of their choices and the repercussions of their actions through education and actions.  Don’t force.  Just do. Be an example. Raise the level of consciousness in your corner of the world and when you look up, you’ll find there are others around the world doing the same.  Meet each other’s gaze and keep going.
