Personal Message in my in box this morning. I expect they aren’t aware of my focus in my community!

Hello beautiful, i just came across your profile here. I would like to be friends with you. I want you to know that you are a very beautiful and attractive woman and you are a woman with a difference, what i see in you i have never seen in any other woman. Your beauty is exceptional. And your beauty is one in a million in this world. I will be so honored to be your friend sweetheart. You are the best beauty of your kind. Looking forward to read from you soon and get to know you better. Warm hugs and kisses to you.

This message was waiting for me this morning from my Google plus account.  In my Removing Obstacles to Love Workshop this week a participant spoke about a scam she encountered and how it affected her.  We used this scenario in a role play to connect to the needs that where not met.

I mentioned to the group afterwards how someone could take the online photo’s   and do a Google search to find out if they had been used in other profiles.


 

Click on the picture  to enlarge it and then right-click twice on your mouse in rapid succession.  Options will come up that will include a search for similar photo’s.  Click that option and you may be surprised to find the same picture several times with different profile names.

I have in the past reported these to Google plus, however, they have now made it harder to report scammers.  They want the person whose picture that is being used to report it now.  This gives the scammers an edge.  Now I simply block these accounts.

The above message came from a John Miguel. I would ask my community members to watch for this account to pop in their networks as their goal is  to become friends and then go through your friends searching for targets.

Overcoming sexual blocks through Somatic Movement!

couple-814825_960_720As my practice matures, there seems to be more ease for clients & students to open to their  sexual shame and deep-rooted beliefs that have been implanted by themselves and others that no longer serve them.

In movement I experience sexual shame,  or issues,  expressed through the automatic blocking of specific patterns of  movement.  In other words, one’s brain has been trained to block certain movements. As the Feldenkrais Method is gentle and conscious, (not strategy focused or orientated around dogma), logic is available for someone to begin noticing the connection to the trained habit of stopping a movement.   When one notices a blocked pattern of movement and experiences that they are able to move easily through it, they can increase their ability to move in a certain way!   This is the point in ones Feldenkrais journey that I generally find honest and value-based communication makes a huge contribution.   If there is an urge to talk, the dialogue is limited to what the feelings and needs are now in the moment.  If there is no talking, or story telling, the experience can move into feelings of acceptance and forgiveness.  

With no stories hijacking the present moment experience into the past, there is increased  inner safety achieved. In that second of observing whatever it was blocking the mind, something new replaces it.  Some of the feedback over days and weeks are amazing!  The movement and language for me is the deepest empathy experience on the planet.

I have witnessed movement difficulties for women have not only been difficult sexual experiences with others but that they have themselves compromised their sexual integrity by submitting to sex when they didn’t want to but felt they had to.

In men I have witnessed judgement, self comparisons and low self-esteem.  As women, we have an urge to share our history with our partners which includes our sexual prowess, however, it diminishes their sense of being good enough!

In love and empathy singles/couple coaching, mentoring and classes I am pleasantly surprised at the level of sexual honesty that is emerging. It is powerful and liberating to talk about sex as a need. As important as water and air! My joy is to introduce it using Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.  I notice a difference  in the participants as in the introduction of basic levels of survival sex and the higher attainment levels.  When one is meeting greater needs,  there is more conscious awareness and heightened sexual life achievement!  It introduces conscious options and choices.  

  1.  Basic Sex – Disconnected to self and others (less ethics & integrity)
  2.  Heighten Achievement – Connected to self and partner (increased integrity & ethics)

In personal living spaces the focus of the occupants is telling through what is expressed in their surroundings.  If there balance between couples (and children) as well as their interests, sexual gratification will also be a struggle of balance between the two.

In all three approaches there is a focus on creating a power with relationship through inner reflection of outward actions..

  • Movement Action –  brain, body, emotional & mindful awareness
  • Mindful Action – awareness of  thoughts, emotions & responses
  • Environment – stimulus for generating responses & reactions

Explore unique ways of slowing down to check in and notice where your focus of attention is.  
This mindfulness of inner alignment can enhance your life experiences.

Present enough to notice what’s right in front of you!

When weeding isn’t weeding anymore!

Screenshot_2016-03-19-13-26-12

Yesterday when the person who had wanted dandelions didn’t show up to harvest them, I decided to go out myself and get started.  An area that was originally grass had become weed filled when I  let the neighbors invasive Saint John’s Wort move in.  Digging up never-ending weeds has been a challenge and now I felt lucky to have someone who wanted to harvest the dandelions.

As I began digging I noticed wild onions and had to stop to taste them.  Then I began to separate them from the weeds along with the dandelions.  Then came the baby thistle, then the plantain and finally the fennel.  Weeding wasn’t weeding anymore!  It became a gathering experience.  Each one had to be tasted periodically too.

Once washed and laid out to dry the volume was appreciated.  A small 3 x 4 foot patch reaped a table full of greens for tea’s, salad’s, oils flavored vinegar, poultice’s and creams.  Well, actually too much was eaten.  The first harvest and I couldn’t get enough.

When this gal I mentioned earlier came by to pick up her dandelions,  we stood chatting.  We began eating the leaves off the Saint John Wort and that’s when  it hit me.  What I hadn’t been able to see that is.  What I did see caused much angst and I was blocked from seeing the treasures that were actually there.  They were not hidden, I just wasn’t able to see them!  My focus was on my kids, business and time.  I told myself I didn’t have time and  yet needed it to look a certain way for my business. What a loss.  I imagine now, had I shared this knowledge with my kids they would have had real-time with me and learned something more valuable than doing chores.  So busy being busy.  Ouch!


Renee is an appreciative and proud mother of two young adults.  One child introduced her to the experience of unconditional love and the other to the inner power and beauty of being a woman!

 

8 Trigrams & 64 Hexigrams became a discovery of something implicit in the cosmic order

YinYangThese 8 trigrams are the building blocks of 64 hexagrams that display every possible combination of these lines. It was the first of these sequences that led the 17th century father of calculus, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz to discover the functioning of the binary system. A Jesuit priest, who was based in China, showed the configuration to Leibniz, who investigated further and discovered that if the value of 0 were attributed to each solid line, and the value of 1 to each broken line, it would give the binary notation for the numbers 0 through to 63. The uncovering of the binary code allowed Leibniz to change the path of mathematics for all time.  The I Ching is therefore the earliest known example of binary notation, this being the smallest complete arithmetic number system as well as the language that enables computers to work.

Empowered or Dis-empowered Relationships?

We explored the differences in qualities that create empowered and dis-empowered relationship at Removing Obstacles to Love last night and the value of having an awareness of an inward focus began to emerge. 

The first week was all about self-image and identifying what we looked for in our potential partners with a focus on physicality, status and behavior.  This week was all about the values that we looked for in relationships.  Values like those in the diagram above that make up our ideal relationships and becomes the start of creating value awareness and a mindful focus on the intention of our thoughts.    

Once naming the values a discussion followed on how they affect our behavior and four aspects of primary relationships!    

Looking forward to our next gathering!

*NEW* Mindful & Integrative Heart Centered Business Coaching!

Biz Goals

Yes it’s true! *Students who have enjoyed waking to fuller consciousness with mindful movement, thinking and speaking techniques, with Renee Lindstrom using Feldenkrais Movement and InTouch Life and Communication techniques, are now exploring how to take these concepts more fully and creatively into daily living. This includes learning how to tap into one’s inner courage and translate the messages blocking them from their own feelings of confidence and expands into developing a connection to how they are contributing to and receiving back from their business or work place!   Like any relationships it is a 50/50 concept!  It begins with checking in to a deeper connection to one’s calling or purpose.

When one has more clarity on what they long to do to be contributing in their community, the focus can turn to  consciously creating a doable and concrete action plan.  These would be intentional goals for achieving the steps towards a desired outcome.  Becoming the touch stone of accountability for someone completing their goals, Renee finds that her ability for empathy supports shifting hopelessness into hopefulness, fear into excitement and frustration into love!  

Through Goal setting and Accountability Coaching, students are learning to embrace their own creative entrepreneur power.  They are finding their joy with their conscious action and accomplishments. The pattern of the steps Renee and her students take together lead towards connecting passionately to ones inner courage for taking conscious action.  

She has enjoyed connecting to her students needs using a language designed for connection and has on occasion matched their needs with invitations to join her at community networking gatherings.  The purpose is to inspire and motivate these students by hearing how others share their passion and achievement.  This modelling support’s one  to break down their blocks, turning fear into motivation.  Students sometimes find themselves empowered to take part in these gathering and it challenges them to stand up strong and for the first time they may spontaneously voice their own business vision clearly and concisely, surprising themselves!   

There is no better joy in the world than to hear someone’s plan to execute their inner creativity and passion using “I statements” and expressing in a strong confident voice  with no hesitation or doubts.  When someone is speaking honestly and from their truth they light up and shine!  


Terms:

  • *Students – Renee’s enjoys using the term student as this implies learning.  Her techniques for consulting, teaching or mentoring are designed so that the recipient can learn, understand and integrate them into their own future actions.
  • *Clients – Renee’s finds that this term implies someone needs to be fixed or is looking for a strategy to be fixed versus learning the root source of action that is blocking success.   
  • Mindful – Focus of attention centered in the present, with awareness, acceptance and ease of  the past and future, 
  • Heart-Centered Business – whether an entrepreneur or employee it’s refers to one’s inner connection to their own purpose and empowered choices to keep what is meaningful to them relevant!
  • Integration –  Expanding one’s personal actions and patterns for achieving outcomes through learning new ways of actions that start with checking in to one’s intention and exploring results.
