A Dream Within A Dream
I am giving today’s post the title a dream within a dream because it feels like I am living a dream within a dream. Conscious Mastery® encompasses my dream of helping others and spreading the message of light and love. This was born from the dream of my soul expressing through music. Life lessons came from the learning curve of the art itself. This includes the small success and big failures in so far as wanting this be my career path.
Fantasy
More important energies were afoot. When I began with the dream of being a rock star I was writing songs about heartbreak and forever love. The longer my attention was attuned to my creative muse the more the songs changed and grew to have substance. The lyrics that came to and through me set me on a course to improve myself, my thinking, how I lived my life and dealt with challenges. I hope my songs, book and online courses do the same for you.
Imagination Created Conscious Rock
I call the music Conscious Rock although as time marches on I would say my music is more folk-like. My original music gave way to writing my first book, “Conscious Mastery® ~ Freedom from The Inside Out.” I realize now it is somewhat of a spiritual guide or handbook. Unlike a novel, reading from beginning to end, my book has people jumping to chapters that deliver information pertinent to their current needs and life experience. I didn’t know this was going to happen but the book provides insight and help when and where needed.
Meditation classes
Before and after the book was published I held meditation classes, sessions online and other forms of teaching. From my humble point of view, I was sharing knowledge acquired through life experiences.
Update 2024 Conscious Mastery® now offers two online courses. See how the dream continues.

Stretch Your Mind
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said ” A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” I find this to be as true a statement if ever there was one. The majority of my time is now spent living a dream within a dream of creating and sharing my music and writing Conscious Mastery® courses and blogs. I feel a sense of having come full circle.
The experiences of writing the book and all it entailed, stretched my mind so I saw the natural blending of these two dreams. Both are a an example of living life whole, happy, and free doing what makes my heart say “Yes girl you are on the right path.”
Around and around I go from music to Conscious Mastery® to music and smoothly circling back to Conscious Mastery®. Both provide a sense of doing what I was meant to do in this lifetime. Deliver messages of personal power, light and love.
Releasing a new CD
I just released a new EP ( extended play) album titled “Rattle the Cage” My thoughts and feelings about the music gave me this tag line: “Raising consciousness one song at a time.” Conscious Mastery® and Astara Summers Music are linked. I will continue to post articles here and my plan is to become a bit more transparent so you see me as a real person. I would also like to invite you to check out my music web-site at AstaraSummers.com

Driven by a Dream
Many who are driven to do a certain type of work know that it is not done for money alone. However, living on planet Earth, money is an exchange of energy needed to get on with living. Here is a plug for “Rattle the Cage” a 5 song Ep.

Follow Your Dream Because You Can
I do hope you feel the light and lift that comes when creating with love. That is exactly how I created Rattle the Cage. When you listen to these songs know that love is the main ingredient in all my work. Follow your dream too. One dream may lead you to another. That is no accident. It is divine intervention.
May the light of a new day dawn each morning inspiring you to love more today than yesterday.
love and light
