Drawing in white light for cleansing & protection

It’s not often that I draw upon bringing in healing white light with students in transition from inner and outer experiences of pain and suffering.   The purpose  would be to bring some ease and peace in the burden they carry inside and on their shoulders that is weighing them down.

Clarity of perception in conversations versus reaction states has shown over and over these past years to be enough to cut through heavy, tar like sensation one finds themselves feeling after long-term experiences of chronic unmet needs.   Needs for being valued, (to be seen, heard or to matter).

Focus of attention versus beliefs, concepts, opinions & perspectives 

Some ways that have increased the crispness  of actions to create balance and harmony  has been through transforming inner habits and developing clarity through physical functions (not referring to exercise or postures),  conscious and fair dialogues that everyone has equal contribution to expressing their needs in a way that is heard, and in understanding how the environment influences and stimulates ones  reactions.

Law of Attraction

However,  I have witnessed that when the fear of taking a personal supportive action can reach a level of panic that can sometimes block tapping into these ways for defusing and calming that heightened experience.  Achieving clarity and conscious understanding is constrained by the resistance to taking personal actions.  The cause can be as simple as fear of change and the unknown.  The known is sometimes perceived as being better than what one expects the outcome could be.

This level of fear usually is at the level of ‘fear of dying.’  I can remember being in a personal session with Dr. Marshall Rosenberg where he was listening to me and another person while holding space for our sharing equally.  At one point he turned to the other person and said, “Do you know she is afraid of dying?”  This other person responded, “Yes and I regret it.”   I personally have experienced this level of fear and panic and, in that moment of witnessing and honesty,  I was able to take right action for myself.  However, until that connection was made for me the experience was a  tangle of unresolved issues and perceived consequences  bonding that person and I in pain and suffering.

Sometimes the resistance can not be engaged through movement, dialogue or changing the space.  To calm and bring clarity one may begin the process of drawing white light to surround them and clear themselves.  This technique is one that is used in many traditions for cleansing and protection.  I have learned that it can be used anywhere and at anytime for support to ground, and find balance and clarity.  I find it reduces panic and can be a  beneficial tool for support that can create the potential to have a dialogue, increase flexibility and calm the space.

Description of  bringing in the white light

Part One Surroundings

  1. To start I suggest one imagine or visualize an egg shape surrounding them.
  2. The  second steps is to draw in the white light from above to surround them inside this egg shape.  
  3. Once  the white light is surrounding one inside this egg shape I then suggest that one imagine or visualize the light turning in in an *anticlockwise way for a couple of moments.
  4. As soon as one stops turning it (white light) in an *anticlockwise way, then start to turn it in a clockwise way immediately for a few moments.
  5. Slowly release the visualization while focusing on a quality of giving thanks to the universe,
  6. (one of my favourite blessings is share with students is borrowed from the Hawaiian tradition – Ho’oponopono prayer).

Part Two – Physical Body

After one has practiced Part one for at least two to three days these two steps can be added after completing the about four steps.

  1. Now bring the surrounding white light into the physical body in a swirling way that is moving anticlockwise for a few moments.
  2. Again immediately upon finishing with swirling anticlockwise begin to swirl it clockwise.
  3. Slowly release the visualization while focusing on a quality of giving thanks to the universe,  (one of my favourite blessings is share with students is borrowed from the Hawaiian tradition – Ho’oponopono prayer).
*Anticlockwise – Opening to clear & cleanse
*Clockwise – Closing and surrounding

Please note:  If the level of fear is too high, one may be afraid of the consequences of this White Light exercise.  There may be a need for support to find reassurance and guidance for a good practitioner that is trustworthy.  It could be a leader from their faith community that can bring safety.


About Renee Lindstrom, GCFP

A  foundation to the evolution of Renee’s practice was working with energy.  In her own experiences the unresolved need in relationships of a lifetime led to an opening for certain energies to emerge affecting her surroundings.  She began training and researching ways to clean and end these effects.  This led to supporting others in their environment for clearing residual energies and influences.  While doing so she witnessed some of the root causes in people’s perspectives, belief systems and interactions that opened them up to experiencing these energies.  This led to training and offering practical tools that one can do to transform their own experiences.

Dropping irrelevant words to improve focus on event being shared

I have found that our education has focused upon proper rules of grammar versus focusing upon how each person has a different perception of incoming information.  This translates  into writing, reading and speaking that leads to misunderstandings.

Five ways that humanity perceives information from their environment is through sight, sound, taste, smell and, touch.   Incoming information from the environment will travel through the physical body processing the information before reaching thoughts.  A process so fast it’s unrecognizable.

You can recognize people’s dominant senses through their choice of words in speaking and writing.  For example:

  • Visual –    “I see……”
  • Sound –    “I hear…..’
  • Smell –      “I smell…..”
  • Taste –      “I taste……”
  • Touch –     “I feel……”

Translation & simplicity are needed in the ways that these interactions are used

I will use an example of my own predominant sense and its usage.  This is,   “I feel……”  I use this statement in a way that isn’t understandable to anyone outside myself.  Others will be triggered by it,  unknowingly,  before taking in the information I am trying to convey. Here’s  how I may use touch to describe an experience that may be familiar to you where you would accept it as being normal, however may be having inner thoughts that stimulate irritability or annoyance.  You may even shut out what you are hearing.

 I feel like I have gone one step forward and one step backward.

I did want to I feel in the following post to describe my interpretation instead of an actual feeling.  Something like

I felt like I had one foot in the future and one foot in the past after a new router was installed yesterday.

Had I used it, it would have added confusion and extraneous words to describe it.  I chose words to describe exactly what happened without my interpretation.  The event was shared in a way that more people could take in the information and understand the point of it.  That is my intention – to be understood and for a connection.  If you look through the sentence for feeling words there are none.  If you analysis the statement you will note there isn’t any information pertaining to a felt sense.  One foot in the past and one foot in the future is an evaluative experience which precludes any felt sensations.

At yesterday’s installation of a fiber optic wireless router the technician gave me the option to go back to a hard line for my laptop versus wavelength. In addition,  I was told I could install an app that would turn the wireless off when others left for the day making the house wave free from my own router. I am thrilled for these choices!

Sight, sound, touch, taste, smell

  • What is your predominant receptor?  
  • How does translate into your dialogues?
  • Does being received by others in the way you intend matter enough to you to slow down and consider how you share?


About Renee Lindstrom, GCFP

One  part of her practice is to refine and translate dialogue so that one can settle their emotional fears, pain and anger, or improve their needs to be seen, heard and valued in relationships.  This is important in improving physical function too.  Unresloved needs can restrict movement causing one to have less flexibility.

Coaching using Awareness through Spoken Word techniques introduces a new way of understanding differences and compassion that comes from empathy. Empathy for self and others that is more than listening or touch. It is in the quality of the spoken word patterns. The focus is to expand the awareness of the stimulus of spoken word and go beyond its restrictions in habitual ways of speaking. The intention is to create inner peace and expand outer harmony for better choice making and resolving differences.

About Renee Lindstrom ‘s intention for living in the garden of life

I, like many, wasn’t borne into a thriving, balanced and attuned family landscape.  The illusive patterns that sowed the illusive culture of my lifestyle weren’t heart-centered.  Instead they were based upon fear, anger, unhappiness, discontent and jealousy.

Thinking

This led to years of seeking out meaning, understanding, and a life purpose that didn’t include the harming elements of my earlier family life.  This also led to supporting others along the way.

Through this exploration I have  made the connection to one’s  thinking and their results.  I have observed how the ways of ‘thinking’ create one life’s garden.

We are prisoners to our thinking

To put it another way,  I have seen and experienced examples of how we think becomes what we experience and  create in our lifestyle.  A lifestyle that can be calm and wonderful, or chaotic.  Thinking seems to be responsible for how we actively respond mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.  Being unconscious to it makes us prisoners to it.

I have also discovered the process of thinking is separate from mental functions.  How do I know this?  As a babe we aren’t born with a pattern of thinking, yet as a babe we had the mental ability to integrate cultured patterns of thinking.

Usually ones focus isn’t on the brain’s functional abilities and its relationship to how experiences are processed.

I have witnessed and heard stories of  life times  lived through reactive behaviours originating from thoughts.  Thoughts based upon one’s thinking process that are not real or the truth of what is happening in the moment.  One example of a case study in years past is the reaction of running from situations,  literally by driving across the continent!  As the reaction would begin to calm I would be contacted only to discover the flight was from an initial triggering thought that wasn’t connected to any real actions of checking in to the source of it.  The flight was an expensive reactive behaviour mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually.

Exploring this life path I have discovered that even though I was born long after the honeymoon was over in my families experience, I thrive in beauty and the attributes of loving kindness, and have a high propensity for empathy.  My family and I simply weren’t a match.  In retrospect, the pain and suffering became the incentive to find ways to align with my true nature.  Along the way I have found clarity and understanding, and come away with some ways to live in the beauty that the garden of life can be.

A system of understanding to have clarity & for understanding

that is balancing

Sharing these ways with others while continuing my own practices has become an open system of learning.  This system goes out beyond the closed thinking patterns of making evaluations and moral judgments, and beliefs of  right and wrong thinking.  Each of the methods I integrated had their challenges in the learning stages due to the depth of ego that is experienced in our culture.  Ego is imbedded into behaviour yet it’s another elusive quality that people experience without being consciously aware of it and unable to identify and name it.

To borrow an evaluative experience from Buddhism, each method I dug deeply into is founded upon the concept of becoming enlightened.  However the challenges of  the teachers and participants wanting to be seen, heard and valued caused hurdles to overcome and created events of pain and suffering for all immersed in the educative experiences.    Taking the time to integrate these methods as a foundation for living myself has taken time and evolved over the years.  The system I am interested in contributing follows the Buddhist concept of eliminating incorrect use of ego.  We all have ego, however, I focus upon ego usage that pays attention to power with, not more over/under.  Why?  I want to live in the beauty that inspires and motivates.  The heightened stimulus I hope to experience comes from passion.  Passion for life, living and creating.

Mentoring others to switch on their innate ability to learn 

Somes ways of contributing to others as they commit to engaging in life to align more with their true nature are with individual programs or mentoring  integratable life components.   Life area programs and components focus in these areas of one’s experiences:

  • surroundings
  • inner sense of oneself (confidence, self-esteem, empowerment)
  • life purpose
  • cultivating awareness to identify and name intention
  • functional movement that cultivates awareness that holds the connection to the interplay of body movement, reactive behaviour, thinking and emotions
  • functioning relationships that cultivates awareness the holds the connection to the interplay of what’s real in the moment, what one thinks, and how one responds
  • value-based programs to support inner discernment to transform  moral judgments into value based judgments

Finding your intention and creating a target for meeting the goals of who you long to be with these programs 

The learning modules here at Inside Awareness can be specific to life areas whether you are:

  • looking for your life purpose
  • seeking to improve your relationships to all life
  • wanting to enhance your physical abilities
  • introduce a sense of sacredness in your environment

Each module are concrete actions steps that bring one into the shift they long for.

Each module has a foundation in practical steps and have applications that are logical yet bring focus to the elusive.

Renee focuses upon switching back on one’s inherent ability to learn where the experience becomes the teacher and the student becomes the sage.

Thinking patterns that create constraints to physical function, and false emotional responses

 

One of the possibilities for those longing to cultivate their own awarenesses is in the integration of a specific way to pause and listen.

 

This skill can turn illusive reactive behaviour into obvious thoughtful behaviour thereby increasing the quality of one’s life style, relationships, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

This style of listening cultivates awareness and connects one to their surrounding environment, inner emotional and mental environment and the very environment of functional movement.  Whether one functions with a  dominant right brain or left brain this style of listening creates balance.  Afterall we can access both sides of our brains equally.  I liken it to walking a maze or a labyrinth.  One is a right brain experience of introspection to connect and the other a left brain activity to solve puzzles.  The goal is to have a choice of pathways in any one moment.  Both right and left brain activities are equally valuable to reaching a specific target.

I experience right and left brain behavioural reactions in others whether the  focus is on movement, thinking functions, communication,  life purpose,  surroundings or lifestyle influences.  I have experienced what most have in common are the missing skills of how to make the change.  They can all identify it in others, and are quick to, however the model to dig deep within themselves to be self-witnessing is lacking.  It’s not a pattern in our general educational experiences.  It is an untapped resource.  There is a wealth of theory related material available yet the practical steps for integrating change are missing.  The theories out there contribute to the concept of something being “wrong” so there needs to be a fix. This is old school.   New school is that there is nothing wrong, it’s just a gap in the learning process.

Many of us process new information through old learning patterns from earlier cultural experiences.  This includes our:

  • thinking process
  • movement postures
  • emotional reactions.

Habitual behaviours can only only be transformed through exploring and practicing new ways of doing things with an attitude of open curiosity.

Over the years I have begun to witness that it’s how one thinks that is creating the dis-ease

As this post is focused upon types of thinking that pose a constraint to fully functioning with flexibility and clarity, in movement, thinking and responding, here are some types of learned responses.  Responses that are mental blocks to cultivating awareness that actually stop transformation of  habitual living and behaviours, mentally, emotionally and physically.

  • evaluative experiences in patterns of making moral judgments
    • labeling
    • assessing
    • diagnosing
    • criticism
    • incorrect use of one’s ability to compare
    • scarcity
  • positions of authority
    • right and wrong thinking
    • punishment and reward
    • making demands
    • hierarchical positions of power over
  • denial of responsibility
    • lack of honesty
    • blame and shame
  • competing
  • status quo

Developing the skills for transforming into who you long to be

 

Ways of integrating ones bodies of function is through new learning experiences for checking in and exploring:

 

 

  • how one thinks now and noticing if there is a better quality of experience with new patterns
  • how one moves now and noticing if there is a better quality of experience with new patterns
  • how one is stimulated by their lifestyle and surroundings now and noticing if there is a better quality of experience with new patterns

Sage responses for when the pain of break up is increased by thinking over past events

Being the one who is broken up with can be the most challenging and chaotic as the minds condition has no choice but to go into what it has been trained to do.  Such as:

  • Blaming & Shaming
  • Right & Wrong Thinking
  • Make moral judgments
  • and more…..

I have been there myself.  I have experienced the open darkness of pain where it feels like there is a tear in the fabric of my reality.  When I sought out support and empathy whether it was professional or in my personal friend group I wasn’t thrown the kind of lifeline for  my grief and regret that steered me through the depth of emotions.  Rather it added to the chaotic thinking emotions and increased the effort to sort out.  Recently in the midst of supporting someone else’s break up I had a moment where  I considered how much I would have benefited to have someone  support me with this type of feedback, while recognizing this will have to be repeated until the chaos of the mind training settles and one can enter more permanently into the experience of sadness and forgiveness that is the letting go process.


When I listen to  you I am taken into your story of regret and grief. I hear that you are replaying events in your mind thru the lens of pain you’re feeling now stimulated by this break up. Replaying events is part of the grieving process, however I encourage you to be aware that the need in the moment you made those choices then is far different than the one now. The present need is based on this current event and it cannot go back and preside over past events.

The current event is stimulating your pain body and your memories are surfacing. Putting attachment to them by going into assessing and criticizing yourself is feeding the pain your feeling. These thoughts are false realities. The truth is that in this moment you’re a feeling deep sorrow and pain as you experience this loss.
