#yyj in person Awareness through Movement® lessons in Oak Bay

Feldenkrais® is a system for learning new actions through movement to increase function and quality of life. There is no dogma or self-image attached to this system of independent self-learning. This means it introduces a focus upon what you can do, not what you can’t. It reduces limiting beliefs by increasing focus of attention in the present moment. As an empath, I can trust the Feldenkrais® experience as it deepens my inner understanding, clarity and skeletal support through perception. It taps into the same dynamic of inner support I trusted as a baby to stand up and begin taking my first step.

I recommend it to everyone longing to be free of the past and to shift the fear of the unknown future. I especially recommend it for those who have been given labels and now identify with them. The only way to transformation is through a new action.

Dedicated Feldenkrais Focus, influenced by Somatic Dialogue & Awareness of Environment Stimulation to function

Consider the next person you engage with from this pictures viewpoint instead of unconsciously responding to their words or actions.

Consider how their viewpoint has been formed.

These are examples of how their internal processing, (reactions and responses) to the world have been created. It’s like computer coding! This internal programming is different from yours, so the question is, why are you going along with what you are hearing instead of recognizing it for what it is?

Most people speak about their past in present circumstances as they have not mastered the art of being in the present moment logically. People who respond through past filtering unconsciously cannot be logical in the present and are not good leaders. This is what is being played out before us in world events. What we are witnessing in these events could be the incentive to begin educating on how to dissect inner filters of behaviour and reactions without labels and diagnosis. Instead, observing and engaging with the actual process through pattern recognition and skills for making choices in the moment instead of being hoodwinked. Especially important for people, and groups of people who respond with anger, hate and malice towards others. The corrupt cartoon characters that will do anything for money that we are witnessing. They are more evident now through the grossness of what we are experiencing and we are also learning there is someone. or someone’s pulling the strings behind them. They are never the puppeteer, rather the puppet doing someone else’s bidding and only the fall guy. A fall guy who was tricked into making vows through promises that inspired their greed.

The next few generations could be inspiring if a large percentage of us become incentivized to engage and dive deeper into translating behaviour conditioning, versus analyzing it and labelling it. Those strategies are old and are what got us here. This is my growing awareness through experience that has held a consistent daily focus on this topic for over 30 years without wavering. It has included mentoring others using guided patterns and through this experience I have observed potential I had no idea was possible.

This picture was created by Ai, which has identified the focus of my work and creates from what it has learned about me. It is a model of the example I wrote of above. It’s all in the integration of information, always. AI is modeling our own behaviour traits, only it is doing it consciously. The majority of us are acting out of unconsciousness. That is the difference and the eventual power over us, unless we do something about it personally.

Consciousness is not in the disconnection of outside focus, it is inside through growing clarity of our own selves from the inside out. Not outside in. Outside to inside is where we are corruptible.

‘Poverty consciousness’ into Divine Abundance

Posted on July 30, 2026 | 1 comment

Intention can be woven into ones lifestyle for integrating a pattern for connecting and setting intention. Here is a selection of Natural Essences that can be introduced into ones lifestyle to align with intention for manifestation.

By Crystal Herbs Flower, Gems & Crystal Essences

Prosperity means to ‘have plenty of’, this is also a state called Divine Abundance.

Some people are born with a natural form of this divine energy, regardless of their childhood circumstances. We all know someone like this, who leads a charmed life, with good things always happening to them, and their needs always being met. This is often because of the good karma which has been accrued from past lives. To reach this divine state we need to release poverty consciousness and the thoughts which tell us that we will never have enough.

Crystal Herbs

The Angel of Abundance…

The Angel of Abundance will help you to remember that you live in an abundant universe, and that you are part of the flow of divine universal energy, within which there is plenty for everyone.

The vibrational quality of abundance feels generous, expansive and loving, so working with the Angel of Abundance will help you to experience more of these qualities in your heart and your energy field, attracting more of the same.

Crystal Herbs

Abundance & Prosperity…

opening your heart to abundance & prosperity

Abundance in all its forms is an expression of the flow of divine energy available to us when we live in harmony with the Universe. However, many of us unconsciously block this flow of energy due to beliefs, patterns and old stories that prevent us from feeling truly abundant.

Intentional Lifestyle of Prosperity

Posted on July 30, 2026 | 1 comment

Inside Awareness offers another way of approaching change.

Rather than beginning with what to do, it begins with noticing how we are being. Every movement, every conversation, and every decision arises from an intention, whether it is conscious or unconscious. When intention becomes visible, action naturally becomes more aligned.

Intention can be woven into ones lifestyle for integrating a pattern for connecting and setting intention. Here are some pieces of jewelry designed specifically for abundance and prosperity. Some are called prosperity generators. Embodying the life area of wealth begins with an active inner focus of intention before outside mindfulness action. Here are some pieces of jewelry to mindfully align attention with action for the wealth area in ones lifestyle

Embodiment before strategy

Posted on July 10, 2026 | Leave a comment

Embodied somatic action harmonizes with cognitive focused strategies and increases conscious connection to motivation. It leads to clarity of motivation before action. This pattern increases the potential for successful outcomes in all life areas, and reduces inner and outer conflicted states. Leading with strategies indoctrinates self and others and reduces innovation, motivation and spontaneous outcomes. Embodiment cultivates awareness and increases possibilities for higher outcomes and experiences.

Cognitive Strategies Vs Somatic Awareness

Strategies are cognitive based upon beliefs, while somatic processing is a learning path of awareness. A cognitive based belief system can stunt a person’s perspective by its nature as it has a focus of attention in one or two life areas only. For example, if a person is only focused on wealth and its attainment, every action will be strategic to meet that need. Generally, there will be a lack of mindfulness through the experience. The experience will lack the balance and harmony that is born from lived mindful awareness. Without this mindfulness there can be perpetual states of conflict, inside and out. Conflicted states fanned by the flames of seeking ways to increase wealth. This can influence every aspect of living as this conflict is expressed through emotional behaviour, expression and physical action. It can extend to every relationship that begins with critiquing through the lens of how to use others to their advantage in growing greediness. Strategy focused actions usually led to winners and losers. Strategies born from beliefs lack conscious awareness of the intent in the present moment. Beliefs are the past, yet they control the present, the future. This pattern can lead to extreme actions and statements for justification, with the last attempt feeding the next.

The process of mindfully connecting to one’s inner motivation before strategies increases conscious awareness. This process is more likely to grow beyond a single minded focus such as in this example, to become wealthy. The isolation that comes with self perceived status can expand into a state of thriving, instead of striving, through the increased range of information that comes with inclusion. Achievement will not be at the cost of people, places and things and instead include consideration for them. Those who are strategy first decision makers are not eliminating somatic experiences, they simply have no control over it. Their focus on power and control is strategic and is without the abilities of self regulation. How can one self regulate an experience they are cognitively ignoring? Being led by uncontrollable somatic experiences can lead to conflict and harm, of self and to others. They may lack the discernment for recognizing they are living in a cycle of going from one catastrophic experience to the next. Often overlapping.
