Using patterns to cultivate and increase awareness of one’s inner origins that motivate them through the functions has led to discovering differences in the inspiration from an inside focus and that of externally driven ones. The inner inspired motivation for action deepens the sense of feeling fullness and strength that is balanced mentally, emotionally and physically with confidence, and the energy of the outwardly focused inspiration seems to leave hunger, dissatisfaction and a lack of quality in achievements. One is satisfying and fulfilling while the other is empty, and gloomy usually leaving a deep loneliness or a sense of being lost. As one aligns with their inner origins life is no longer boring, dull and conflicted. There is no need to feed the same addictions that seem to come hand in hand with the emptiness in those not tapped into their own core needs. This picture reflects a quality I have begun to promote with self-care. The techniques I have been focusing on are a feminine quality. For my masculine energies, the same self-care actions can be taken with less focus on the sensuality I suggest for feminine energies. Another successful focus of attention is mindfully integrating goals designed to create new habits. The integrative process or nature of these steps is for retraining the brain and creating new behaviours. It gently turns habits one takes for granted and shifts into new actions. In my personal experience, this is the pattern of transformation.
Some examples are turning a lack of courage into courageousness, boredom into being alive with life, failure into opportunities and steps for building success, etc. It shifts from the fails that go hand in hand with trying to compete or please others into self-actualizing through origins from the inside. After all, it’s an inside job. I was once told in a dark night of the soul experience that I was born alone and would die alone. Hum……..That’s when I realized that even with people I felt alone. It was a huge moment of acceptance and a moment of transformation. People do not speak a language of connection. The connection can only be attained from connection to inner origins. This is the shift away from being a hungry ghost or vampire. lol My perspective only and for learning purposes…….

Integrating abundance through felt senses of luxury deepens self-connection
A beautiful facial for softening and tightening skin, and reducing wrinkles. Reverse aging technique is a lovely way to reduce stress and connect with the self—a mindful moment. Origins activity for tapping into the Divine Feminine.
Somatic Perception & Empathy Responses
This writer has dominant senses of perception in the high range of somatic integration and empathic responses, therefore self-connection activities are high on the list to remain balanced and aligned with inner qualities for experiencing life through the lens of it as an opportunity and quest, and not a burden.
Somatic touch enhancing the Origins of the Devine Feminine
Facials from the pantry are activities at home therefore they are personal and private moments to become mindful of one’s own felt touch and sensation. Going to a salon or retreat is an outwardly focused action and lends itself to a different experience and need. For someone who experiences and expresses the world somatically going to a salon means taking in all the environmental stimuli and qualities of the providers and experiencing their levels of consciousness. While it may meet other’s active needs for being cared for by others and for community connections, for this writer it is a distraction to her current needs of peace and harmony. It also meets a personal intention that became a concrete goal in 2022. This goal was to tap into divine feminine qualities and express them from an integrated experience versus a false self-image of societal interpretations. Sensuality can be expressed authentically through exploring personal self-connecting activities that create this quality. The unique benefit of this personal exploration is that as a connection is made to the felt sensuality this expression expands into one’s relationships in a more empathetic way. It also increases the unspoken communication between primary partnerships that support a peaceful and harmonious approach to intimacy and connection replacing the mundane to-do list and ticking off the boxes and expressing achievement before vulnerable intimacy. Vulnerable intimacy is from the inside in one’s origins of health and well-being and not from a partner’s social status and finances. They are two separate life areas. The focus on the to-do list and achievement are conversations and cultural conditioning agreements better had before getting in the environmental felt sense stimuli for potential between the sheets. At least from a divine feminine perspective. The integral divine feminine qualities come from inside origins, not from a masculine. A masculine will enhance the feminine qualities through their contributions, they are not the source of it. A masculine will be an environmental stimulus to the integrity of a divine feminine’s qualities and it’s expressed authenticity.
Core Origins of Health & Wellness
The higher knowledge of a Feldenkrais Practitioner is that one’s health and wellness aligns with an inner self-image and the lack of mental, emotional and physical health is aligned with a focus on outside influences and definitions of self-image concepts.
Essential Connections with Actions Taken
A facial recipe from the pantry can increase the quality of connection. An example is in cooking from scratch. This experience is integrative and will shift the inner experience differently than if preheating a frozen meal. One is deepening the human and ethos connection through the activity, the other is meeting a need that lacks mindful functional integration of mind, body and emotions. It’s missing the process of slowing down through bringing a recipe together that stimulates a somatic integrative experience with active mindfulness of the ingredients, touch and movement of the hands, to mouth, chewing and swallowing. Precooked or takeout is a strategy for ease. It is this writer’s opinion it’s perceived ease. It meets a need to satisfy hunger while not being distracted from another activity. Running to the store for pre-made, or ordering in, is a time waster which takes effort and is more costly, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. It also lacks ethos. Going out for facials is also a strategy to meet a need where there is no personal investment other than time, money and effort. However, it does meet a need. Not everyone is looking for a deepened self-connection. People need distraction to take their minds off of their environmental conditioning in the moment This writer has dominant senses of perception in the high range of somatic integration and empathic responses, therefore self-connection activities are high on the list to remain balanced and aligned with inner qualities for experiencing life through the lens of it as an opportunity and quest, and not a burden.
