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.
With respect and gratitude, this work acknowledges the ground provided by the teachings and practices of Moshe Feldenkrais, Marshall Rosenberg, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and Dyan Grant Francis. Their contributions are honoured as part of the learning from which Inside Awareness continues to grow.

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:

The mind focus origins in psychology uses Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to describe the levels of behaviour evolution. These 12 levels of consciousness uses a somatic focus to initiate cognitive mindfulness. The descriptions interprets the balance of the two intertwined dimensions: the body and the mind. This pattern is designed to come into alignment through somatic awareness versus the conceptualization of the cognitive attributes.
Each of the levels are described in the 12 Levels of Consciousness available on Amazon Kindle.

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.

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.
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.
