Inner Connecting
Researching information on Quiet Gardens for an upcoming post on Walk-Victoria.com I have come a video on the perspective of Walking as a form of prayer.
I wish to share this video and express how Moshe Feldenkrais developed Awareness through Movement® lessons. Moshe came from the perspective of a person being attentive to their inner sensual qualities, in the experience of an isolated movement, while expanding and increasing their awareness to include how isolated movements can expand to other parts of the body functions. It is my experience that in this perspective of attentiveness a person may automatically go into the same inner connections as expressed through this video.
For me then, setting up a Mindful Walking Practice in my neighborhood’s gardens or on a local Labyrinth would be a multiple skill that would support the growth of required attentiveness in my Awareness through Movement® and Awareness in Thinking practices. It was with this focus in mind that Walk-Victoria.com was created! If in Victoria it is my wish that you use the free resources of Walk-Victoria.com to find interesting space in our community. If in other communities of the world, I hope you will explore and find beauty in your walks!

Embodiment of Scarcity ~ Awareness in Thinking
Definition of Scarcity: a small and inadequate amount, insufficiency of amount or supply; shortage
Nouns: shortage, lack, deficiency, poverty, want, insufficiency, infrequency, under-supply, rareness
Embodiment of Scarcity Consciousness:
- Life is scarce with limited resources?
- There isn’t enough to go around.
- Can’t have what you want or others will be deprived.
- Greediness and self-aggrandizement
Behavior of Scarcity Consciousness:
- Moralistic judgements
- Blame & Shame
- Fear
- Deny responsibility
- Demands
- Right and Wrong Thinking
- Conflicts
- Bullying
How do you embody the qualities of Scarcity?
Motivation: Reflect for a moment about whether you are aware that you can have a choice to have the pattern of thoughts that you think. If you are unaware that you have a choice, consider the motivation for your current experiences. Have you consciously made a decision to behave the way you do or do you do it automatically?
Success: How do you measure success? Is it through having power over others to win so that there is always a winner and looser? Consider a moment if you are enjoying your relationships with your partner, peers, employer, children. Reflect on your self-value, confidence, respect, fear, stress and if your world is a safe place.
Integration: If you do not understand your process of what is creating your thoughts and your reactions you are behaving from an unconscious position. A position that is a result of what you have experienced through your culture from others.
Your thought training has come from all the things that you have been told by your first family (mom, dad, siblings), extended family, teachers, friends, peers, and partners and now influenced by what you have viewed in movies, on T.V. and now internet. This modeling has developed your brain’s self-image of who your are based on what you have been told about yourself from others!
Some tips for checking in follow:
- Thinking ~ Do you think in terms of right and wrong? Do you judge others for their appearance, station in life and how they behave? Do your thoughts compare you to what you see others have and you don’t?
- Behaviour ~ Do you speak in sentences of scarcity consciousness? Do you say to others that you are right and they are wrong? Do you get angry when you hear others share their opinion? Do you interrupt others to tell your story?
- Action Beyond Self Image ~ Do you understand the separation between how you feel about yourself , what you are thinking and what you actually say to others? If you feel worthless, like a fraud and defective how you perceive your world will be through this self-image. Can you separate your self-image from your actions?
Longing for a shift into another choice of experiencing that includes the brain development that you missed that is if your early training is a result of staying fixed in the pattern of right and wrong? For information on another experience of abundance consciousness go to Embodiment of Abundance.
If you are interested in how to become more articulate in creating a shift of consciousness, one that starts with how to speak it to create the brain shift, Renee offers personal coaching, private and organized group lessons. Imagine if your partner, peers, employers/ees spoke from a place of abundance mentality. Once of the greatest values that would be demonstrated would be respect for others and self!

Embodiment of Abundance ~ Awareness in Thinking
Definition of Abundance: an extremely plentiful over-sufficient quantity or supply, overflowing fullness, affluence; wealth. Abundance is the noun of Abundant.
Embodiment of Abundance Consciousness:
- Life is abundant
- There is more than enough to go around.
- I can have what I need and so can others.
Behavior of Abundance Consciousness:
- Mutuality
- Equal balance of giving and receiving,
- Exclusivity of all regardless of age, rage, rank, male or female
How do you embody the qualities of Abundance?
Motivation: Begin by considering your longing to live in a state of abundance consciousness. Connect to your original motivator to choose a shift towards abundant thinking. What was the attraction?
Success: If you have thought that by setting an intention for abundance with expectations of receiving it, reflect on the success you have had of drawing abundance into your life and keeping it.
Integration: Now consider how you have integrated the qualities of abundance into your experiences and relationships. Has it been through ritual of writing out affirmations, gatherings for creating abundance visions or simply making statements to self and others.
We are hearing that we are what we think we are. Simply replacing the story isn’t as easy as we would like it to be. Thinking we are now going to be living a life of abundance doesn’t replace our earlier thoughts that we have learned since childhood, it simply adds more story. It is the stories we have learned since childhood that we are habitually acting from.
The self reflection then becomes, are you connecting and creating the same beauty in your relationships as what motivated you to set an intention to live as though life was abundant. How are you and others around you enjoying this world?
Some tips for checking in follow:
- Thinking ~ Do your mind thoughts and their sentence structure reflect abundance consciousness?
- Behavior ~ Do you speak in sentences of abundance consciousness?
- Action Beyond Self Image ~ Do you understand the relationship between thinking abundance and behaving abundance? (Behaving abundance in this sense it not empathy of prayer, mediation and gathering together for a cause, it is about those praying, gathering and mediating and their ability to spontaneously identify and shift their personal judgement, blaming and demands in the moment while in every day one on one interactions.)
If you are interested in how to become more articulate in creating a shift of consciousness into an abundant one that starts with how to speak it to create the brain shift Renee offers personal coaching, private and organized group lessons. Imagine if your partner, peers, employers/ees spoke from a place of abundance mentality. Once of the greatest values that would be demonstrated would be respect for others and self!
