Integrating the value of Patience

Posted on May 26, 2013 | Leave a comment

Life Area: Interdependence

By practicing patience we can respond rather than react, and by doing so, stay centered and at peace. Patience begins within one’s own mind by being at peace with mind stories. This week make a practice of spending 5 minutes, twice a day to notice your thoughts without acting on them. Commit to remaining silent and still while noticing how they travel through your mind or change when you don’t act upon them.

Intimacy ~ Art of Listening and the responsibility of the speaker

Posted on May 25, 2013 | 1 comment

Listening changes when the space is created to feel supported by everyone in the group while, at the same time, hearing “new information on how to listen” and having the courage to participate in the guided practice suggestions without worrying about right and wrong ways of speaking. Renee Lindstrom

There is joy in working with individuals committed to improving the intimacy in their relationships. It is not the traditional sharing circle of going on and on about our stories and talking about it! The learning comes through the experience of sharing in a precise pattern of speaking and listening to increase the potential of spontaneous vulnerability and freedom of speech. There are no rituals, feathers, labels, conditions or talk therapy!

Our learning time together become a unified experience of a series of planned practices designed to learn through the experience itself. In the closing feedback I hear unique and individual comments of learning that is coming from their own source of creative expression. The tools have laid out a pattern for exploring deeper within and the awareness that is expressed is simple, intimate and beautiful. It is easy for the ears of others to really take it in!

The members of the group now have a new memory experience to notice the differences of their interactions with their partner through the week until we met again. Mission accomplished and we didn’t have to go on 3, 7 or 9 day retreat, be healed or fixed, or hand ourselves over to any higher power or focus upon our conditions. A set of intimacy tools that can be taught easily and be yours by your willingness to experience it.

“Living your confidence balanced with empathy” in relationships and redefining ego

Posted on May 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

It takes courage to be heart-centered, confident and self-assured. It also takes courage to live from this point of independence.

Experiencing any beauty in your relationships begins with your behavioral patterns and how much inner-confidence and independence you feel balanced together with your ability for being self-assuring.

You may seek change by changing the way you look through diet, clothes, fitness and re-designing your surroundings. Do these last when you are affected by your relationships! What is the first thing you reach for when you have a disagreement or are bored?

What would your personal goal success rate be by starting with inner change support, so what you show on the outside is coming from the inside?

Inside Awareness Methods focus upon seven steps for personal success. They are integrated into Renee’s coaching and teaching experiences. Whether you are looking for transformation in your relationships or increasing your movement abilities, following these simple steps change how you experience yourself.

SEVEN STEPS TO SUCCESS

Commitment
Intention
Grounding
Practice
Integration
Learning
Conscious Habitual Patterns

If your “search” for change has deepened into a “longing” for change it is time to take grounded and supportive action to make it happen. Find out more about each one of the these steps by joining Renee at one of her events or by making a direct inquiry.

“Relationships are not the cars, houses and house keeping”

Posted on May 11, 2013 | Leave a comment

Imagine facial expressions of anticipation and a long moment of silence following this comment at our couples gathering. The reason we had gathered was to learn more on how to deepen our affectionate and intimate relationships. I suggested that these things represent our personal and joint material (physical) wants and needs.

So what is a *relationship? This is going to be our exploration over the next six weeks. Everyone left curious and willing to do their home work for our next Friday night together.

Can you sit down with your partner and discuss what is meaningful and important to you in your relationship without making it about them?

Example of what not to say if you want intimate connection: I want you to be more……., I want you to do………

Can you then hear them share back what is meaningful and important to them in your relationship together without making it about you?

Example of what not to say if you want more affection: You want me to be more…….., You say I am being………….

Can you both sit with these points, even the differences, and hold them equally as important?

Example of what not to say if you want to experience the same bedroom intimacy into real life time or keep experiencing bedroom intimacy! Trust me if it is not in real life time that will be lost over time too! What you want is more important than what I want……….., What I want is greater than what you want……

If this is a new concept and your curious, connect. Ask about this gathering opportunity, upcoming possibilities or private coaching.

Wikipedia Definition of Intimate Relationships:

An intimate relationship is an interpersonal relationship that involves physical or emotional intimacy. Physical intimacy is characterized by romantic or passionate attachment or sexual activity. The term intimate relationship is also sometimes used euphemistically for a sexual relationship.

Intimate relationships play a central role in the overall human experience. Humans have a general desire to belong and to love which is usually satisfied within an intimate relationship. Intimate relationships involve physical and sexual attraction between people, liking and loving, romantic feelings, and sexual relationships, as well as the seeking of one or more mates and emotional and personal support for the members. Intimate relationships provide a social network for people that provide strong emotional attachments, and fulfill our universal need of belonging and the need to be cared for.
