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.

Mentoring in community for 2 decades provides insight to fundamental truths of aging

Integrative experience shapes learning philosophy of Inside Awareness with Renee Lindstrom

Ongoing Inside Awareness focused classes have been offered through local senior centers for the past twenty four years. This continuity has been educational itself. Below is a general breakdown of three areas of focus and the progression of topics offered. Keep in mind that these centers offer classes to two age groups for class participation. One stream is under 50 and one is over 50.

Over the years there have been many take aways and insights to behaviours that block effective learning in these three specialized areas of influence; environment, spoken words, or functional movement and being one of many facilitators in a range of opportunities has been a benefit. This has meant being able to observe and hear about the experiences of both participants and facilitators and witnessing the evolution of trending topics as they come and go.

This unique vantage point has increased the awareness of how influential the environment, thoughts, spoken word and movement patterns are to the quality of living. In earlier articles a focus was on the influences in early developmental patterns in forming one’s beliefs, perspectives and movement postures. (Scroll down to check out articles that influences in early developmental patterns affecting all life functions) Mentoring from the vantage point of this age group over an extended period has been an opportunity to observe and experience the long range effects of these early influences. Early influences such as the design of the furniture, room, curriculum, personalities and interactions.

Progression of Topics over twenty years

#1. Participants seeking meaning in life – age range early 40’s & 50’s

Inside Awareness workshops in local community centers began in the late nineties and they had a focus upon subtle energies and influences of home and garden environments . The general age of attendees were early 40’s to 50’s who had a focus on finding deeper meaning in life. These participants had either transitioned in their lives, or were transitioning from familiar life changes that included: divorce, career change, early retirement or the first stages of empty nesters.

#2. Participants seeking solutions to chronic unmet needs & fixing conflict in relationships – age range early 30′ upward

In 2004 workshops expanded to include empathy training and spoken word for the purpose of turning conflicts into connections. The participants ages ranged from young parents to elders seeking solutions to draining relationships. Only a few participants came for the purpose of self development. Most came to fix their relationships at home, work and in the community. These participants usually arrived at the end of the relationship as a last resort to try and fix the troubling circumstances they were experiencing..

#3. Participants seeking relief to chronic conditions influencing functions such as balance, chewing,walking, sleeping, etc., – all ages from teens to elders

In 2007 workshops expanded to include a focus of attention on the motivation for functional movement and behaviour. The primary focus here is on increasing one’s connection to mental, emotional and physical capacities that reflect the preverbal patterns of early learning. Since 2007 participants have experienced relearning early patterns that have been forgotten and lost. Patterns for increasing the body parts for even the simplest functions like breathing and balancing.
