Lotus Flower Action Cards

Awareness. Intention. Alignment. Growth.

A mindful journal to plan, reflect, and align with your highest self. The Lotus Flower Summer Weekly Embodiment Actions Journal is designed to support this journey.

Like the lotus flower, growth often emerges through challenge. Each page of this journal is an invitation to slow down, notice what matters, and take intentional steps toward the life you wish to create.

Inside these pages, you will find space to:

  • Set meaningful intentions
  • Track habits and progress
  • Reflect on emotions and experiences
  • Practice gratitude
  • Strengthen self-awareness
  • Align your actions with your values

This journal has been created through 26 years of experience integrating somatic awareness as support for understanding and increasing clarity in behaviour through movement, communication and listening. The cognitive behaviour and somatic behaviours are intertwined and this author practitioner and mentor has recognized a lack of balance and understanding between the two. Mainstream guided pattern focus in education has mainly been on cognitive function and not on somatic experience. Therefore, the somatic reactions can be out of control without the skills to keep impulse control in check. This is demonstrated through a lack of body connections to how the skeleton functions at the core patterns and in the inner processing of information due to limited filters of understanding. The guided patterns in this journal support the integration of balancing the interrelationships between the body and mind responses.

Below you will find two more somatic oriented activates that engage the mind through guided patterns. One is meditation and the other through sound.

Connect to learn more about Lotus Flower Embodiment Learning Series that integrates functional movement and mindfulness for converting out of balance reactions into conscious responses.

Recognizing a gap between a somatic newborn and a cognitive societies social conditioning

Posted on April 20, 2026 | Leave a comment

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

Invert hierarchy titles: safety top, self-actualization bottom

This blog article below was written on this author’s personal website http://www.reneelindstrom.com recently. It is from a perspective of a somatic empath that carries the ability to identify the authentic somatic experience and the cognitive conceptualization that those not in their somatic experience believe it is. No judgement, simply a gap this author is bringing focus to. You can read this article by clicking the article link below or listen on You tube at link below it. I hope this content will be of interest in those sincerely interested in actively going beyond what they think they know from societies conditioning in accepting the stories attached to their mental, emotional and physical states of being. The first step to breaking free of acceptance to labels, assessments, and moral judgements, etc., is having clarity on the separation that supports it.

Newborns are born somatic into cognitive conceptualize society, transitional awareness is needed for change

Below are two earlier articles from this authors personal web site on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs from an interesting perspective that may be interesting to read after digesting and integrating this perspective from a somatic empath. Understanding this first stage will support how society is perhaps being misguided by this lack of clarity by those who are seeking to meet their needs without compassion and empathy for others.

Feldenkrais® is a system for learning new actions through movement to increase function and quality of life. There is no dogma or self-image attached to this system of independent self-learning. This means it introduces a focus upon what you can do, not what you can’t. It reduces limiting beliefs by increasing focus of attention in the present moment. As an empath, I can trust the Feldenkrais® experience as it deepens my inner understanding, clarity and skeletal support through perception. It taps into the same dynamic of inner support I trusted as a baby to stand up and begin taking my first step.

I recommend it to everyone longing to be free of the past and to shift the fear of the unknown future. I especially recommend it for those who have been given labels and now identify with them. The only way to transformation is through a new action.

Dedicated Feldenkrais Focus, influenced by Somatic Dialogue & Awareness of Environment Stimulation to function

Feng Shui for function

Bus Stop Feng Shui

Announcing Feng Shui for function

….in first person…..I have just announced this focus on the topic page titled Awareness through Feng Shui.

Announcing a new integrative focus on Awareness through Feng Shui. Not a new focus my work as a practitioner, consultant and mentor, a new focus in Feng Shui and a newly differentiated topic on the Urban Feng Shui web site. Feng Shui is a program of one of the nine pillars at my learning center, Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning. It is a program in the Knowledge/Educational Life area for creative lifestyles. Feldenkrais is in a the pillar area of Health with a focus of attention on functional integration that originates with the skeleton in postural transitions… I have differentiated the life areas life activities fall under for increased integrations, understanding and increased mindfulness. This differentiation increases intellectual clarity through enhanced mindfulness. Watch these web pages if this topic interests you as there will be a new and interesting perspective on design and health. The relief is it will not be from the marketing perspective of advertising furniture will a lack of understanding the skeletal needs for optimized functional movement.

Children’s Song – Feldy for Children

Posted on April 13, 2026 | Leave a comment

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

Here is a page I created on the the web pages that support Awareness through Feldenkrais. This topic is a program under the life area of health. Awareness of Health is one of the nine pillars that is the focus at Inside Awareness. This topic of Feldy for Children will be a focus on these pages and will support parents and educators. The first entry is a song that integrates and identifies the skeletal bones. Here’s why:

As a Feldenkrais Practitioner since ’07 the biggest challenge I observe in participants is their lack of ease in identifying their skeletal parts mentally or through their felt senses. This is a significant problem in aging. I am also aware of social conditioning through environmental stimulus, therefore was curious about a song about the bones. I posted a link to an adult version of a song on a facebook page for the learning center, and it was perfect. I then decided to create one for children. I will post the lyrics and when completed will leave the url to them. Meanwhile enjoy the tune.

Feldy for Children

Here is the YouTube link to listen to the song Renee created with Ai’s support:

I will post the lyrics on the Feldenkrais webpages above in the next days for musicians and educators.
