Our environment models and reflects back to us the patterns of our reactive behavior in and out of balance. Our space defines us and tells our stories! This includes; homes, offices, schools, countries and the natural environment.

Inside on Mindfulness in Nature & Mindfulness for Nature
Mindfulness in Nature & Mindfulness for Nature (can you see tanker in background?)
Mindfulness in nature is an outdoor experience and mindfulness for nature, is how we care for the environment. Healthier decisions for the environment will be made when there is a direct connection with nature. Inside Awareness has the perspective that wo/man will be more willing to take care of the planet collectively once they individually connect to their inner values and clearly understand what is meaningful to them in relationship to nature. If one is not aware of what is meaningful for them in their environment, it is a disconnection and the first step to an imbalance in caring for it.

Inside’s Mindfulness Behavior Principle
Grounded Stillness
Inside Awareness Behavior principles are founded upon one similar to the first steps in a of Buddhist Mediation. In meditation one is sitting on a cushion to become comfortable being still in space while watching their thoughts. The purpose is to become *mindful and to experience the environment coming into ones awareness softly versus directing ones attention outwardly. The difference in these two focuses of attention is that one is open and expanded, and other one is closed and limiting.

I enjoy that this work flexes my brain’s relationship with all the other parts of my body!
Participants response to Oneness Wednesday’s Somatic Movement events
I believe you describe what I experienced Wednesday night on the floor: movement + awareness – theory/verbalizing = whole-body learning. I find myself re-membering the body-breath connections we practiced from time to time during my day. It’s a deeper integration than I usually experience learning dances.
I look forward to next week.
