The Life Path

Infographic titled 'Life Path of Renee Lindstrom: From Loss to Inner Listening.' It outlines a three-stage process: Experiencing, Inner Listening, and Integrating, detailing personal growth through grief, awareness, and integration of life experiences. Each stage includes key concepts and emotional responses, illustrated with scenic backgrounds representing transformation and understanding.

A pattern of inner listening to the experience has emerged through my own life path that has shaped the awareness integration sessions and classes for a number of years. The organic connections that emerged have been put into guided patterns that will be available through boutique group learning in early 2027.

Each human has a path forward that could be called their life path.

This path is influenced by experiences and choices. In turn, what has already been experienced and chosen influences how the present is encountered and how future possibilities are approached.

Much of a life path is walked without full awareness of where it is leading. Circumstances arise, we respond to them, and choices are made within them. Those choices become part of what shapes the next steps along the pathway.

Yet many of the influences shaping the path remain elusive. The walker’s attention is naturally drawn toward navigating what is immediately happening. Attention may become occupied with deciding what is right or wrong, solving problems, assigning blame, avoiding shame, or relying upon familiar strategies that have worked—or seemed to work—in the past.

Over time, these learned responses can become habitual ways of walking the path. New experiences may then be approached through patterns established by earlier ones. Attention can become absorbed in resolving the difficulties that arise, while the patterns influencing those difficulties remain largely unnoticed.

In this way, the patterns of one’s lifestyle become a core influence on the lived experience of the life path. They can be quiet, elusive, and outside conscious attention. What has become familiar may simply feel like the way life is.

What if the life path itself could become a place for cultivating awareness?

What if simple guided patterns could be integrated into ordinary life experiences—not to prescribe the path or determine where it should lead, but to make visible what has previously been elusive?

As patterns become recognizable, there is an opportunity to pause, sense what is present, and notice how an experience is being interpreted. What was once habitual can become available for inquiry.

Awareness creates the possibility for greater clarity.

And with greater clarity, choices along the life path can become more conscious.

The intention is not to interpret another person’s life path for them.

It is to cultivate the awareness through which they can begin to interpret their own.

Learning field of expanding awareness for clarity and understanding through lived experiences with practical guided patterns for living.

Inside Awareness patterns through which you can notice your own experience, process it, and discover what becomes available. Shifting focus inward to balance interactive connectedness.

This is a Visual Image of a literacy system for recognizing the relationship between sensation, awareness, interpretation and everyday functional behaviour. The central figure isn’t successfully defending herself against everything coming toward her. She no longer has to organize herself around opposition to it.

The center describes Receptive Observation patterns and the outer describes Interpretative Evaluative Expressions. Guided patterns for lived integration for practical lifestyle integration.

Garden Landscape Designs

by Renee Lindstrom, founder of Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Learning

Here is a Labyrinth Pattern I designed about 15 years ago. The intention was to design it for limited mobility access where the walker may become a scooter. The seed pattern for the labyrinth is a cross sections to reflect the cardinal directions which is duplicated in the Medicine Wheel and other traditions throughout history. The objective was to provide seating at each cardinal direction once entering from the East.

This design was also my interpretation of honoring an earlier career of the person it was being designed for who studied the middens archaeology of the far north of B.C. and into Alaska. It was a tribute to a ‘mentor.’ One of my mentors. I call it Dee’s Labyrinth.

What I love about the design is that it can be adjusted for smaller spaces by taking out middle pathways.

September Embodied Lifestyle Articles & News

by Renee Lindstrom, Founder – Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

Energy of Abundance

The flow into fall begins and summers ease begins to fade.

Sensing


Money Path

When money is approached primarily through fear, analysis, and pursuit, it can become an external measure of security rather than something we feel capable of creating and receiving.

Developing trust in yourself can open a different relationship with money—one that is less influenced by old social conditioning and more connected to your own sense of possibility, resourcefulness, and abundance.

This does not mean being financially reckless. It means noticing the beliefs and habits that restrict your relationship with money and exploring what supports a more independent, grounded, and abundant way of creating financial well-being.


Nature demonstrates.
The moon reminds.
Awareness notices.
Intention chooses.
Life reveals what grows.

Renee’s Educational Urban Gardening exploration and decisions

A choice to become a master gardener was blocked by a life event. The choice shifted to exploring urban foraging and healing gardens alongside one another with one foot in each category – it changed everything and reconnected a separation to the land I felt somatically yet couldn’t identify cognitively


Fall Detox to build Immune System

I do a detox a couple times of year with wormwood and black walnut. I have never digested it through a liquid and decided to try it for this summer transition into fall. The ingredients in the pic also are inclusions I had not experienced in combination. The berberine excites me as it is a plant tincture I use for infections. It comes from Oregon Grape roots, which is a common bush/shrub in our #yyjneighbourhoods. It is a good time to start this due to the immune system support it offers. Read more @ link below:

Embodied Mindfulness approach to personal change

Here is a life style map diagram of the the focus of attention in the learning topics at Inside Awareness. The intention of lifestyle learning patterns are for Human Flourishing.

Human Flourishing

The body reveals.

The mind interprets.

Awareness connects the two.

The fractals creating the words expressed from the speaker you are listening to suggests need to take caution before going into agreement with their perspective …

by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP, founder of Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

  • 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.

‘Poverty consciousness’ into Divine Abundance

Intention can be woven into ones lifestyle for integrating a pattern for connecting and setting intention. Here is a selection of Natural Essences that can be introduced into ones lifestyle to align with intention for manifestation.

By Crystal Herbs Flower, Gems & Crystal Essences

Prosperity means to ‘have plenty of’, this is also a state called Divine Abundance.

Some people are born with a natural form of this divine energy, regardless of their childhood circumstances. We all know someone like this, who leads a charmed life, with good things always happening to them, and their needs always being met. This is often because of the good karma which has been accrued from past lives. To reach this divine state we need to release poverty consciousness and the thoughts which tell us that we will never have enough.

Abundance in all its forms is an expression of the flow of divine energy available to us when we live in harmony with the Universe. However, many of us unconsciously block this flow of energy due to beliefs, patterns and old stories that prevent us from feeling truly abundant.
