What You Believe is Possible

December 9, 2021 By Cara Lumen

What You Believe is Possible

Innovative Ideas on Birthing the Divine Famine

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

Just because it’s never happened before doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.  Remember that as you set goals and objectives for yourself. As I watch new technology unfold I’m old enough to remember the real-life woman telephone operator who connected the calls on my grandfather’s phone.  I rode in my grandfather’s Model T car.  I rode a pony to take water to the workers harvesting hay and putting it in horse-drawn wagons.  I remember the first television shows. And I was one of few women my age who went to college.  Then there was the first moon landing. I’m 89 and the changes in my lifetime have been huge.  

And now, in the past few years, we have Artificial Intelligence, solar power, 3-D printed houses.  That’s a lot of change in the span of one lifetime.  

So what is going to change in the span of your life and are you ready to explore and modify and change with it?

We need to question our beliefs often, particularly when it comes to what we believe is possible – for us, for our world.  And we need to stay open to not just the new technology but what opportunities they bring with them.  Many of the skills we have and may even cherish will become useless. (Our children cannot read cursive or write a check…) And that can be unnerving.  How do you keep from feeling irrelevant, outdated, useless?  You change.  You question your beliefs, you marvel at the new discoveries and you make changes to accommodate them and absorb them into your life. Those key changes are made within your beliefs of what is possible and your understanding of your changing role in the world. 

It’s enough to make a person feel outdated in a hurry.  

Here’s the core message – question every belief you have as it shows up to make certain it is still relevant. And even still true. This will be particularly tricky with those beliefs that we were given as a child simply based on living with our parents and their belief systems. But we have to question our beliefs, particularly when it comes to what we believe is possible. Because new doors are being thrown open every day.

Before you get discouraged, before you think it can’t happen, pause to notice that the world is moving at an incredibly rapid pace and what you believe is possible is changing every single moment into something brighter, and grander, and more amazing.  What do you believe is possible? A whole new world is opening up.

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I embrace change in every aspect of my life.

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Find a good news source that keeps you up with positive changes.  I like Good News Network.
  • Question your beliefs in what is possible and take time to expand them.
  • Think big!
  • Be flexible.

===INNER WORK===

Live in a State of Oneness Consciousness

We are all one consciousness so how do we learn to live from that awareness? Consciousness connects us all.  It makes us all one energy, one big thought-form.  And it sure is varied in its manifestation.   

I get glimpses of being one with Cosmic Conciseness when I meditate.  I understand the limitlessness of Cosmic Consciousness when I take a shamanic journey. I listen to my intuition and am amazed by its insights and accuracy.  How does Cosmic Consciousness make itself known to you?  Keep looking.  It’s waiting for you to tune in. 

===SELF-HEALING===

Acknowledgment and Self-Awareness

Years ago in New York City, I started an Acknowledgment List. When people said something positive or complimentary about me, that I did not recognize in myself, I wrote it in a blank journal with the date and who said it.  When I felt down or uncertain, I pulled out that book and read the positive things that had been said of me.  

I do a version of that today.  It is a document on my computer and when I get an acknowledgment or a positive compliment, I pop it into this document along with who said it and the date.  Periodically I read the positive things that have been said about me and it lifts my spirits and raises my sights and has been known to open up a new direction for me.  Perhaps you want to start an Acknowledgment List to help identify your gifts.

===OUTER  WORK===

The Clarity of Journaling

Taking time to reflect on your day or your intention for a new day is very clarifying.  It helps you notice the changes and opportunities that have shown up and gives you time to reflect in gratitude for the experiences of your day. 

I have a major document on my computer called “Action” and I keep all sorts of things in it, including a journal.  I only keep seven days so each time I enter I get to read what happened on that day the week before.  

Find a format that allows you to reflect on what the day brought and how you have progressed from the week before. Journaling fosters clarity. 

===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

Visualization

A very powerful way to experiment with possibilities is through visualization.  I could visualize what it would feel like to be taller, or thinner, or younger and use my imagination to explore the new possibilities that would open for me.  

I can visualize a particular scenario. What would it feel like?  Where would that choice lead me? What doors would it open?  

If you want to explore a new avenue, use your imagination and visualize all the scenarios you can think of to see what unfolds and how that experience aligns with how you want to feel and what you want to accomplish.  It’s like trying on an outfit in the store before deciding whether or not to buy it. Or making a small batch of a recipe before serving it at a dinner party. 

Decide what you want.  Do I want to be able to go in nature again enough to motivate me to get to work on strengthening my body? How much do I want it and how hard am I willing to work?  Or do I need a different goal, a different motivation? I want to be strong enough to write and explore and share but a nature hike is not on my to-do list.  So when you are looking for motivation, choose one that will take you where you want to go.  Then visualize and see where it takes you.

Use A Mantra As An Entrance To Your Still Point

A mantra is a sacred word. It has a specific vibration that creates a specific result. Using a mantra is a good way to signal that you are beginning your meditation practice, to tell your body and your mind to turn it off for a while and be present. You don’t need to continually repeat the mantra to keep you focused, you use a mantra to move you back into that sacred space when your mind wanders off. Start with the universal sacred seed syllable OM or Aum.  If you have a particular focus for your meditation, you might look up mantras online and see what their meaning is or if they are for a particular chakra. I have a mantra for Transcendental Meditation and I happen to know that my children each got different mantras when they learned TM. I also know that my mantra sends me very rapidly into a meditative state. And the more I do it, the faster I drop into meditation and the deeper I go. 

Start with Aum and move on to explore what works for you.  You can use a mantra to access your Still Point and you can get to your Still Point without one.

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

Meridians and Medical Qigong

As I focus on self-healing, I decided to work on my acupressure points.  I can’t name the meridians but since I kept finding a steady sequence of painful points on my body, I knew my meridians were not in very good shape. 

My healer friend,Christina Gerber emailed links and meridian charts and I explored some of the Medical Qigong videos she sent. Qi is life force energy and Qigong moves it around and opens up the pathways – the meridians.  I spent about 20 minutes with the videos and at the end of that period, I found my body was tingling all over.  It felt happy and revitalized. 

A few hours later I repeated the process of manually pressing on the acupressure points and found that the pain had substantially subsided – my chi was flowing again and rebalancing!  It had accomplished a great deal of rebalancing in a few hours and the Qigong sequence had been super easy.  Start with Qigong for Belt Meridianand do several of the other videos in the series.  I couldn’t always keep standing but I kept doing it sitting. Do the best you can.  It will work.

I’m putting this particular Qigong practice into my life twice a day. 

Note: After three days of doing this Qigong for the Belt Meridian at least once a day, my left hip realigned clear up to my waist and it dramatically affected my walking and my posture. I am also doing a manual acupressure routine three times a day.  My body is responding notably and dramatically.

===OUR EVOLVING FUTURE===

The Emerging Feminine Leader

In a conversation with my extremely intelligent female friend Martha, who also happens to have a major leadership role in a large organization, we discussed what the role of a feminine leader looked like. There are no examples in history of how feminine leaders lead because there are so few women leaders whose history has been brought forward. One of the things my friend was aware of in her leadership experience was that women are team builders rather than building top-down as a man would. Women are more inclusive and heart-centered.

So we have two things going on here. We have the rise of the Sacred Feminine which means the lessening of the power of the Sacred Masculine (which makes them extremely grouchy), and the Divine Feminine is working to define herself in the role of leadership when her only examples are all the rules the men prefer to use. So it’s not about doing it the way it has been done, it is about approaching leadership from a new place of wholeness. Of service and collaboration. And because the men are not going to like one single bit of this, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

So here is our job as women – we are to step into the roles of leadership that present themselves and bring to the role inclusive compassion, team building, and heart-centered service. And of course our intelligence and insights and stamina and… We will have to create new formats for interaction in order to encourage and cultivate this spirit of working in teams. We are going to have to help everyone learn to be a team player, which means compromise, as we redefine, relearn and re-chose our place of service. It will be a time of great experimentation and adjustment. We must be observant. We must be creative, and we must question what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible. That’s how women shape the unfolding version of feminine leadership. 

===IMAGINING THE DIVINE FEMININE INTO BEING===

Based on the conversation I had with my friend Martha, about what the Divine Feminine would look like in the workplace, I realized that we have major work to do. We have to imagine the Divine Feminine into being.

We bring things into being with our imagination and it occurred to me that we have no role models for a world of the Divine Feminine so we have to get busy with our imaginations and bring those concepts into being. 

Here’s my idea. I want you all to contribute to this exploration.  As you get caught up in this experience of imagining a new world of the Divine Feminine into being, I would like you to email me your ideas at caralumen@gmail.com. Please add where you are in the world so we can get a sense of the scope of our community. I will share some of them here, in this section and let them help drive our exploration into how to bring the Divine Feminine into form. 

What is the priority of the Divine Feminine?

We’re making this up together but what came up for me as a primary focus for the Divine Famine was caring for our home, which means the number one priority for the Divine Feminine would be the preservation of the planet. We have nothing if we do not have a home.  The second thing will be the well-being of all the inhabitants.  Here’s where it gets fun.  Imagine a world where the priority is the well-being of everyone.  That means the initial focus would be on taking care of humanity. That means feeding everyone.  That means all our energy, all our focus goes toward caring for others!  What a world that will be.  No wars because we’re all out working the collective fields to feed ourselves. No defending of territories because we live in a collective where what we harvest is divided equally among the participants.  We contribute, we get food.  

Having written that, I realize that there is a lot more to do than grow food, but as long as there are people starving, we do need to address that first. 

The same goes for shelter.  The Divine Feminine wants all her family to be provided for.  What kind of unique system can we create that makes certain everyone has a sheltered place to live in?

This is getting a bit harder to figure out.

Gifted minds and talents come in all shapes and sizes and economic status, so somehow, the Divine Feminine has to figure out how to give all gifts a way to develop.  I’m not talking school here, help me think outside the box on this.  How does the Divine Feminine help each person cultivate and utilize their unique gifts? 

It ceases to be a planet of “me,” its becomes a planet of “we”.  That’s hard to imagine.  

Flexibility and change are a cornerstone for the Divine Feminine.  I have no idea how one builds a flexible structure that accommodates many facets.  But I think that’s what we will have to do. That’s where our imagination comes into play.  We not only have to think totally new concepts into being, we have to imagine a whole new way of being.  What does the all-encompassing Divine Feminine look like as a way of life? 

We’ve never experienced that before.  So we get to make it up. We get to use our imagination to bring it into being. 

Do you see where I’m going with this?  I would love to use this portion of this newsletter to share your ideas on what the Divine Feminine could look like in our lives.  You don’t have to suggest how to make it happen unless you think of a way, but I’d like us to see this as a place to gather ideas from our imagination about what we can create as the Divine Feminine takes charge of our evolution. Look at your job, your life, your choices, and see where you can add the inclusive principles of the Divine Feminine and how that might manifest in change.  It will dramatically affect how we imagine our unfolding future. The Divine Feminine is here. 

First, we have to imagine it.  How will a world guided by the Divine Feminine look and feel and function?  Let’s go exploring together. 

Email your ideas to me at caralumen@gmail.com.

===INTENTION BLESSING===

May we welcome the inclusive principles of the Divine Feminine into our lives with an open heart. 

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

May we take this journey with an open heart. 

May we keep our gaze on the summit.

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

===FAVORITE THINGS===

Native Flutes

The great news is that you cannot play a wrong note on a native flute!  They are expressive, lovely to hear, and easy to play.   I have three native flutes all fromHigh Spirits. My first flute wasHigh Spirits Earth Tone flute in A I love it. As I continued to take online classes withChristine Stevens on The Shift Network, I decided to get theHigh Spirits cedar double flute in G.  I love the lower tone and the ability to drone. I also have High Spirits Pocket Flute – G which if I were still a walker, I would carry with me. It’s a perfect size for children and an inexpensive way to explore the native flute. Its tone is a bit high-pitched for me, I prefer the other two flutes. Playing the flute while being in nature merges me into natural cycles of all of life.

 ===DEEPER SONG BOOK SHELF===

TAOISM

Deng Ming-Dao has two books that are a lovely way to move into the Taoist philosophy. Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony and 365 Daily Meditations Tao.  He lives in San Francisco and I have taken a few classes with him. Lovely, serene energy.

=== DEEPER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===

I was gifted on my birthday with a new set of oracle cards – SpiritSong Tarot – in which each animal was specifically selected based upon Shamanic and Native American symbolism, merging each animals unique power with classic tarot practices. I love the drawings of animals and it has extremely powerful meanings for each card. I never knew how to do the Tarot very well so I just draw one every day for me.  

I drew this card for me as I was completing this newsletter and knew that I needed to turn and share it with all of us. 

Three of Feathers – Moth – Release and Receive. 

This is an outstanding message. You have to make room to receive.  I am letting go of beliefs that  healing as completely as I want is no longer possible because of my age.  Then I can experience more healing.  I am to make room for change.

What belief do you need to release in order to make room to receive?

===CARA’S CORNER===

A New Journey

I have always had a strong calling. I have made major decisions and choices based on simply understanding that was what I needed to do next.  I am fascinated by this idea of making up our “next” by using our imagination to figure out what a world of the Divine Feminine will be like. We only know male energy models. As a woman who fought her way out of the stereotype of a suburban housewife into the role of eclectic healer and spiritual explorer, I’m all in.  I love this idea of taking charge and bringing our Divine Feminine Future into being with our imagination.   I will love seeing what we collectively create.  Yeah for major exploration and collaborative co-creation!

My New Who-and-Do-What Statement

I help adventurers who are ready to explore the new possibilities in the energy of the Divine Feminine, to align their dreams and choices with what is emerging as possible today so they go beyond their own expectations.

===SING A DEEPER SONG ===

The Destination Changed

I thought I was headed one way but I need to turn and head in an entirely new direction. 

I thought I was headed one way but I need to turn and head in an entirely new direction. The path has changed.  There is no map.  I must forge my way forward into unknown territory.

I thought I was headed one way but I need to turn and head in an entirely new direction. The path has changed. There is no map.  I must forge my way forward into unknown territory. I ask the Divine Feminine for guidance. I follow her lead.

How to Hold High Watch For the Planet

March 25, 2020 By Cara Lumen

 How to Hold High Watch For the Planet 

An Inner-World Exploration

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

What is High Watch?

High with is about raising the vibrational energy of a room or a ceremony or a situation or even the world by raising and focusing our thoughts and expectations to the highest level we can imagine. 

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

You do that by focusing on serenity and tranquility and well-being for all. 

If you are old like me, your options to participate in the word have some limitations. But boy, can I share positive energy!  I can hold High Watch for the world!  

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

Use vibration to send light consciousness

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

You can create a ceremony, or a visualization, or say some words, or simply sit there and radiate out light to the entire world.  Create and expand your own individual way to help raise the collective consciousness of our planet.

How to prepare to hold High Watch

All you really need to hold High Watch is you and your positive intention to do so. That mindfulness will anchor us each in a deeper sense of connection.

You could, if you prefer, set up some sort of ceremony or gather special objects on your own version of an altar to help your focus.  

It may be a simple as one rock on a plate. Or any object that we declare to represent our planet home.  You may choose other items to represent our planet and to help focus your vibrational intentions. It can be a bowl of water, a leaf, a stick, a crystal, a rattle or a bell.

Or just sit, go within and start to radiating light.

Your intention drives the energy

Set an intention.  Where do you want your wholing energy to go? Ask for the vibration to be for the highest good and don’t get more specific than that. Let the energy go where it is needed and do what is needed to be done. Trust the wholeness of energy to restore balance where it is needed.

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

When you are ready, begin to feel the presence of other light beings doing the same. 

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

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

The intention of High Watch for the World

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

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

Develop your own way to hold High Watch

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

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

How to become aware of the results of your High Watch

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

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

Leave Openness Open

January 15, 2020 By Cara Lumen

Leave Openness Open

Adventures in the Unseen World

The instructions I was given after the releasing ceremony were to not be in any hurry to fill up the space that had been created.  

How eager we are to fill a void.  

But what if you had just released a huge fear, or blockage or….? You would be left with an empty space. 

Sit in the newly opened space for a while

There is much to be learned by sitting in emptiness.  By sitting in silence. In simply experiencing our Great Nothingness. 

The longer you put off adding things to the space you have cleared by using a releasing ceremony, the more opportunity this newly opened inner space has to heal and clear out even more unwanted or stagnant energy.

In Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) you begin with an empty space and use very few items. They let the space decide what they should choose and they add mindfully to the total arrangement one element at a time.  

Honor the empty space you have created by simply embracing and welcoming the empty space. 

Can you let the space embrace you?

What does it feel like to sit in an empty space?  If you experience a window in this inner world, can you feel the sun shine in or the soft air enter?  If a leaf comes in the window and drops to the floor, it will capture all your attention for it is the only thing to look at. 

That’s how it works when you sit in the empty space of your inner self.   First, you notice the stillness of the space you have created. Then you notice your breath. With a relaxing outgoing breath you settle into the calm stillness of the open space you have created.  

Sit there a while and don’t add anything else. Feel surrounded by emptiness. Feel embraced by emptiness. Experience the serenity of the silence. This is  your sacred space.  Don’t be in any hurry to fill it. 

Be selective

Your mind is going to try to kick in here because that’s what our minds do.  But not every idea that knocks on the door needs to be let in. Take a centering breath and become aware of how the idea feels.  How does it fit into what you want to create at this point in your life?  You may reject things you used to love because you have explored enough or no longer need them in our life, or have found a new way to express your passion. 

Take a moment to see where this new opportunity may take you. Is that where you want to go?  Who you want to travel with?

When you finally select something to bring into your empty space, hold it on your lap for a while and stroke it. Feel its energy. If it is flexible, wrap it around your body, bring it closer to you.  In every moment notice how this idea feels.  Does it support you or is it restrictive? Is it exciting or comforting or…?  Identify the emotion it holds. for you.

Perhaps you have to allow the idea to become more mature before you accept it into your open inner space. My spiritual practice is very full of actions and elements that I love to use.  However, it has gotten so big that I am not doing it with the same perseverance that I used to.  So if a new idea comes in, I get to see how it fits in what I have going on now and if it needs to replace something.  

Choose

You have now let three or four things into your space to consider when you know you only have room for one or two in your life.  You always want to ask your inner guides for guidance. They can see the future.  They can see the overview.

You may simply hold each energy form and contemplate it. Feel which ones are for now and which ones are for later or perhaps not yours to do at all.  

Accept one thing at a time

When you decide to let something into this cleared space you have created within yourself, sit with it a while.  Be with it. Meld with it.  Look at its potential.  You may decide then and there that you only want to have a middle-sized version of that opportunity in your life.  It’s like choosing the right-sized chair for the space you have available. 

Take as long as it takes

Spend time being in your cleared space and enjoy the feeling of tranquil emptiness.  Your inner space that is now awaiting new options – new pathways to new opportunities. Within you.  

Choose one and experiment

Take small steps as you absorb and incorporate and explore a new aspect that you have allowed into your sacred inner world.

And don’t be afraid to clear the space any time it gets overwhelming or too crowded or gets filled with all the wrong stuff!!!

Enjoy the emptiness.  Cultivate emptiness.  Be emptiness. 

Deeper Song Affirmation

I perform a releasing ceremony and then sit with the cleared space for a long time before making any choices of what to let in. 

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Create a Releasing Ceremony For Yourself 
  • Sit with the cleared space and enjoy its emptiness, its spaciousness. Its stillness.
  • When it feels right, choose one thing to let into the cleared space and take your time determining what size and how many you want to let in.
     
  • Explore the steps it will take to accommodate this new item in our life and have that be part of your decision about out to proceed. 
  • Choose that or look at other options. Take your time.
  • Repeat often.

Are You a Transcendent Leader?

January 8, 2020 By Cara Lumen

Are You a Transcendent Leader?

An Inner Word Exploration

“Transcendent leader” is a new phrase for me, and I wondered if I was one.  I want to be.  But what does that look like? Feel like?  Act like?

Transcendent means spiritual, metaphysical, above the range of normal or physical human experience. 

Leader – well, to me that means a guide, way-shower, path-finder.  

We can do that. 

If we are Transcendent Leaders, it means we are aware of the oneness of everything – of our interconnection with All That Is. It means we are aware of everything as vibration – merged, interactive, one vibration.  It means we have an ever-deepening, ever-evolving spiritual practice that permeates and influences all we do. 

There is no separation in transcendent leadership.  We are all one.

What is my job as a Transcendent Leader?

To me, it means to continue to raise my vibration so that it, in turn, raises the vibration of whatever and whomever it comes in contact with.  

I do that in my spiritual practice, my shamanic journey work, my vibration healing work, my thoughts and beliefs, and actions. My choices.

Not a leader – a way-shower

A way-shower says, “Here’s one way if it calls to you.  Hers’s a path I explored that really resonated that I’d like to share with you.  I learned this way to deepen my spiritual practice, or raise my vibration or….” 

You simply become a living example of the energy you cultivate and embrace.  Others see it, experience it and adapt it or not to their own way of being. 

In my case, I write to figure it all out and share what I discover with others. They in turn resonate or not.  Act of not.  I have simply said, “Here’s one way.”

A Transcendent Leader walks beside others

A Transcendent Leader is always conscious of his or her vibration and its impact  We are also aware when someone comes alongside to walk a similar path beside us.  Then we engage in an exchange of energy.  We listen. We share.  We encourage.  And at some point we part ways.  That’s simply the nature of walking your own path.  For it is the purpose of each of us to cultivate and walk our own unique path.

How can I be a better Transcendent Leader?

First, you have to realize that you are a Transcendent Leader.  Whatever you are doing, however you are doing it, you are also impacting others.  Perhaps by guiding them, perhaps by encouraging them, perhaps simply by showing them by example.  

The cornerstone of  being a Transcendent Leader is to know that you are one.  And accept that responsibility and choose and act accordingly.  

Well, fellow Transcendent Leader,  what shall we do to transform the world today?

My Three Words for2020 – Strength, Intention, Explore

January 1, 2020 By Cara Lumen

My Three Words for2020  – Strength, Intention, Explore

Messages from the Unseen World

Choosing three words as guideposts for the year to come is a very powerful way to direct your journey and open your path. This idea comes from my friend Chris Brogan and I’ve been doing it since 2016. 

How does choosing focus words impact your life?

Choosing focus words helps you set your direction for the coming year.  It’s like charting a course or at the very least knowing the general direction you want to go.  

Choosing focus words helps you make conscious decisions. What is important to you? What do you want to bring next into your life? What steps are you willing to take to make it happen?  Where will those choices lead you? 

My first word is “strength”

My first priority for this next decade is to strengthen my 87-yer-old body to help it regain its flexibility so I can keep living a proactive life.  “Strength” is the first world I chose.  It will be the cornerstone of my coming year.

Strength can also be a strength of purpose. Like getting projects out the door in a timely fashion.  Strength can mean determination to understand or learn or… My first cornerstone word for 2020 is “Strength.”

Intention is at the core of manifestation

Intention makes everything happen. It directs energy. It directs your thoughts. I will work to become more aware of the intention of erecting I think, and say, and do. And I will use the power of intention to help me explore the power of vibration and the Unseen World.   

Intention is the second word I chose for 2020. 

Change comes through exploration

“Explore” is my third word for 2020.  I am already exploring the Unseen World through shamanic journeying, but I recently experienced a powerful new message from my Inner World.  I now understand that the many crystals I have had around me for 40 years are to be my portals to the Unseen World. They are really talking to me in loud clear voices.  I will begin to journey with individual crystals with the intention of receiving their message from the Unseen World.  What an adventure!  I have no idea where I will go and what I will find.

“Explore” is the third word I chose for 2020.

Your words offer new awareness and open the door to new possibilities.  

The three words you choose for this year will add power and direction to your chosen path.

What would you like the coming year to be like?  How would you like it to be different?  What doors would you like to open?  What wud you like to learn? What would you like to change?

What are your three words for 2020?
