I believe I have created the last Facebook topic profile page. I know there have been a lot of them seemingly cluttering up the stream, yet I have used this as a strategy to create a pattern to break down thinking patterns according to lifestyle needs. These page names are the patterns I have been introducing through the Facebook pages. These are:

1. Awareness through Knowledge
2. Awareness through Career
3. Awareness through Community
4. Awareness through Past
5. Awareness through Health
6. Awareness through Future
7. Awareness through Wealth
8. Awareness through Fame
9. Awareness through Relationship

Titles for lifestyle areas. Why? It’s a model for cutting through the social conditioning that has lacked an understanding of behavioural stimulus that triggers reactions. Years ago, in relationship learning and coaching opportunities, I would observe the experiences between two or more people and witness their communication behaviours. In more than one situation with couples, they behaved in a way that demonstrated they were trying to destroy each other. There was no healthy reason for them to be together, except that it seemed their dislike for each other. It had become their purpose. I wasn’t sure if it could change it due to deep patterns that were deeply embedded habitually. They usually had lost their independent thinking, courage and self-esteem. One would have power and control, and it was not being used for their highest good or needs. In one particular situation, it was described to me as going on for ten or more years, where one trigger experience became the catalyst for integrating this pattern of insidious abuse. There was a need to break through their conditioning. They had each learned all the lingo, yet never integrated it into their actual living behaviour and experience. It was arsenal (rapid gunfire) in their heads only, where they spoke the language, yet it did not translate into any actionable living expression. As I listened to the same point as their core expression of their coupleness in their relationship over and over, I began to guide them through the nine life areas. I began identifying every sentence and breaking their need down in a way they had no reference to. It was novel enough, so it broke through their static. These were not husband and wife. By this time, they were friends, and one (the female surprisingly) was doing everything to control this guy in a way to destroy him due to one need that wasn’t meant years and years earlier. It was an experience of years and years of personal revenge being disguised. What I witnessed and heard was not caring, loving, kindness or empathy. It was unkind, destructive at the core level and based upon false moral judgements. It was even to the point of giving them options for choices in dating. What was the control for? I suspect, to keep the other person in the same energy and not leave them in their darkness by themselves. It was a challenge. Eventually, the person holding the other person in some depth of darkness moved on and left this person in it.

Whew. This experince provided the incentive to tap into intention in a way I had never consciously thought of until I was in it live and cutting through the materialism of each word, it seems. This pattern I described is one I have observed over and over again, in husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, two long-term friends (deadliest), two family members like siblings (deadliest), parents and children (another tough one), etc. It is also repeated in the community through work, organizations and institutions. There are levels to how deep and dark the interactions are. I think of it as new levels, new devils. People in these circumstances do things I believe they would not do if not in these stuck places in relationships that have a hold on them due to some type of repetitive abusive nature. This pattern is used to shift the dominant focus in one’s filter to expand the consciousness that there are areas of life and learning that create balance. For example, wealth. This is a dominant motivator, and people will do anything to achieve it. Even if it harms others. Even harming their elders to get their wealth, when it was the elders who created the wealth. It is so easy for people to take ownership of what others have.

Using this pattern, one’s core intention can be easily identified and focused on. It is married with a culture of values, and the steps are 100 percent practical, logical and actionable in one’s lifestyle. It eliminates the spaces where people can play in the dark, to easily hold them accountable for their own actions. Creating all this social media is the start of weaving the intention through their statements into the current culture. It is also a way to begin to introduce patterns through interactions with them to replace the evaluative expressions that keep people in a state of lacking self-esteem, self-confidence and personal empowerment. I am suggesting there is a process of an integratable lifestyle on this core model of understanding behaviour that isn’t based upon right or wrong, assessments and moral judgements. It’s practical skill development versus analysis and functional versus looking for solutions.

I made some incredibly difficult choices to explore that were challenging, and this morning I am grateful. I got some feedback recently that what I had shared was complex, and had they not worked with me and experienced their own inner shifts that they wouldn’t have understood what I was sharing. I smiled. It was a testament to their personal work. I only held the pattern of potential. I witnessed their shifts into their own potential. It was beautiful. Imagine someone never experiencing empathy? Imagine someone never truly knowing what love is or experiencing it? Imagine someone never having been truly kind out of empathy and love, only as a formality because it was expected of them, or for show and status, but never genuine giving? The link to the intro to these nine life areas is – https://wp.me/P17H3e-h2C. I hope this peeked your curiosity.

Support Somatic Learning Development for choice in social conditioning experiences to create healthier lifestyles at home and globally

For transparency I have begun posting a link to my paypal for those inspired by my posts that have been for learning purposes. I am not sponsored other than by myself at this time. My focus has been on the development of an interconnected and integrated system that is apparent in all my efforts shared. The focus of this body of work is on somatic connections that is completely misunderstood by most. The mainstream focus talks at it with strategies in mind while my focus is on the practical aspects of living it. It matters in understanding how to support somatic empathic children from early childhood and shifting a social conditioning that could benefit from more from this focus of learning and understanding. This focus is on a well functioning body, improved relationships and communication, and connections to food, nature and environment to support healthier social and cultural conditioning. If you would like to buy me a coffee or support this effort for further development please go to paypal.me/reenelindstrom – you will notice Renee is spelled Reene on this link – that is me, it is not a mistake. You will see this link on my Youtube Channel and educational web materials, fyi.
