Fire & Water Somatic Goal: Example Daily Action 1/31

Fire & Water Somatic Goal Action on 1st Day

There are 31 daily actions to participate, and explore in this integrative experience of goal setting. These goals are different than the typical pressurized canned model of making goal statements designed to push through fears to take action on outside strategies to achieve an outcome. This goal pattern has a focus on changing behaviour from the inside out, and not the outside in. The inside focus first is aligned with core values and has an essence in expanded learning and connection to conscious awareness, while the other has a focus on outside strategies to achieve influence. The focus on somatic goal setting is active mindfulness that expands the interconnectedness to spontaneous reactions to environmental stimuli at the level of the five senses, while the focus on outside strategies is a mental focus that has been the existing patterning in social conditioning that eliminated the somatic learning patterns of early learning. It combines contemplation first to identify the value needs (intention) as the core influence. The process creates a new pattern for learning behaviour that increases self-actualization with a change in process inner behaviour with patterns connecting the meanings of the words inspiring reactions, responses and motivation. Its focus is from the inside, with growing confidence based on increasing personal worth and self-value instead of outside strategies for personal gain with a false bravado. Somatic goals can inspire an increase in self-value that leads to a felt expression of abundance that is embodied, while the old pattern of goals develops a type of confidence that has a limited viewpoint and is dependent on strategies to generate confidence. This limited viewpoint is usually on wealth and fame, which are only two life areas. One embodies function, and the other fragments it.ย ย

Fundraiser for building a Culture of Values through educational components and integrating them into educational institutions and organizations.

Remember, a Culture of Values from this perspective is not a religion. It is a model of integrative learning to enhance organized learning in institutions, organizations, parenting and childcare. It is not exclusive to one demographic. Rather is designed for all functioning people of all ages.

This first workshop for the Inside Awareness Center for Somatic Learning will be a fundraiser for building the Culture of Values educational programming to bring focus to the needs for maintaining the early learning patterns and partnering them with the current system that is oriented from the perspectives of adults contained within an institutionalized system. These early learning patterns here are not the typical strategies from an adult perspective of coming up with strategies to implement into a system. It is the actual patterns of integration for developing the inner processing capabilities for a child to develop into a healthy functioning adult in society. Education currently has a focus on memorization, solving puzzles with strategies and debate conversation entrainment. These educational programs will introduce the needs of the students who have retained their dominant sensory input as a form of viewing and processing incoming worldly information, and will strive to balance out those who are dominant analytical thinkers. These learning patterns will focus on developing a healthy inner and outer understanding of behavioural relationships between the elusive inner body responses in functional responses to any stimuli. This will be through transparent guided patterns designed in the same model of early learning in babies who have no input from adults intellectually in learning how to roll over, sit, stand, walk and talk. These abilities are inherent and not transmitted through an adult’s outside influence. These programs will integrate seamlessly into existing programs designed to increase recognition of inner responses for the ability to self-monitor and process reactions. This model has been initiated by a somatic empath who has recognized a gap in social conditioning while in a journey of self-discovery to find clarity and learn how to navigate in a world that has been educated to project outward from a dominant thinking behaviour, instead of having increased clarity and understanding of their inner process for creating healthy habits for good relationships and lifestyles later on. The intent for the educational patterns will be to create a healthier relationship and lifestyles that have less conflict and increased shared values.

Participation & Contribution

Renee Lindstrom, Founder of Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning, is seeking business partners, sponsors and those interested in supporting a model of education that will redefine behaviour through clarity, understanding that retraining the brain along with the subtle inner body responses that are one. At some point in history, the body systems became isolated and separated in people’s minds. The compartmentalization has fractured full function and understanding of the inter-relationships between felt senses, physical transitions, emotional responses, and finally the inner process for creating thoughts. For those who would be inspired to join this project, please express your interest and how or what you would like to contribute. Email is the best form of connection due to personal obligations to long periods of time with the phone turned off.

Fire & Water Somatic Goal Setting Program

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

Audio to listen along in the author’s voice

Integrating Awareness through Feng Shui,

Feldenkrais & Communication

3 Signature Programs at Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

First edition – 2013

The cover picture of this book demonstrates the elements of fire and water. Fire is the action that bursts up through the mindfulness qualities from a state of contemplation and reflection. This goal program is a design that is a perfect blend of the fire and water qualities.

Read more or listen to the audio, or listen to the audio and follow along with this explanation.

Before getting started, Fire and Water Somatic Goal Setting will be released on November 19, ’25. In time to begin using the tips after the hustle and bustle of this holiday season. A couple of options for enjoying the program will be offered. These will include purchasing the book and reading it independently, or following along with the author in an online group reading. The third way is to join a workshop that will explore the daily contemplations and actions in depth.

*The January Fire and Water Workshop will be a fundraiser for building and sharing an Educational System with Culture of Values as the core focus. More below post *

Now, let’s get to the audio and written article explaining the program.

Actions for grounding & motivation through intention

Integrating mindful focus of attention with actions

Support turning your goals and intentions into reality with tips designed to develop your conscious awareness.  Increase the likelihood of success with techniques to stay on track and move towards your goals to replace disappointment.  Learn how to replace letting yourself down with building yourself up somatically.

One way you can bring your goals into reality is to consider these daily awareness techniques and actions to define your intention. Bring them alive by making time to manifest physical change in your living/working space.  It takes a few minutes a day.  Designed for slowing down and consciously pausing to reflect, notice and take actions. It is for creating your dreams and taking actions to make them happen that combines mindfulness and physical action to create your space of ‘success’.  Each day, follow one action tip to support the changes you seek!

If you are following these steps in January, imagine taking this time to clear your space and set your intention for the coming year.  โ€œClear the old to make way for the new.โ€  These steps have been written with this concept in mind.  This program can be started at any time.   The focus is on goal setting for personal change and growth.

It is recommended to integrate these or similar techniques before making any major changes in your current life experience.  Life experiences such as getting married, moving to a new city, looking for new employment, changing your personal relationships or health challenges.  

In her book, โ€˜Willpower Instinctโ€™, Dr. Kelly Mcgonigal, PhD., stresses the highest rate of success for changing behaviour that has become automatic is if you pay attention to it first before going cold turkey.  She suggests that there is less chance for success with cold turkey resolutions.  If you develop a conscious awareness of your behaviour your brain has a better chance of controlling it.  Paying attention to it is noticing your triggers and the feelings attached to them.  Her tip is that once you become familiar with your behaviour begin to delay whatever action you would like to change for a few minutes to disrupt the habitual behaviour to develop new willpower muscles consciously.  She strongly recommends that you know your behaviour, know what you want, and know what the change will give you and the feelings you hope to replace blame, shame and/or guilt. Those practicing getting InTouch communication methods will recognize these suggestions!

Taking this time for your goals over a period of time allows you to develop clarity.  It develops focus with a pattern to shift attention mindfully with a repeated pattern each day that guides an action for the intention of devoting time to you and your success.  The action is focused on developing a healthy connection with the environment to increase conscious awareness of the influences of environmental stimulus.  For example, by clearing clutter, an environment of support makes room for something new to enter.  With one change per day, it becomes doable and not overwhelming.  Unlike New Yearโ€™s Eve resolutions spoken at the last minute and that were not well thought out, and lacked any preparation for success ahead of time.  Anywhere from 80 to 92 percent of those making New Yearโ€™s Resolutions quit within 8 weeks!

Somatic Goal Integration

This model of guided patterns incorporates Awareness through Feng Shui Principles, Awareness of Feldenkrais from the perspective of Functional Integration of the mental, emotional and physical responses and action and Awareness through Communication from the perspective of core triggers to reactions that shift them into mindful actions.  

This goal program suggests a mindfulness action each day for 31 days.  It takes two weeks or 14 days to create new habitual behaviours.  These patterns are designed as actionable steps for changing the inner filter that receives information through the five senses and processes it to enhance conscious awareness.  Imagine creating habits to become consciously aware of the intentions behind your actions?
