Heart & Mind Foods

After posting on some topics I find meaningful and interesting on my Awareness through Eating page yesterday, I was inspired to write and create an audio companion on some of the points I brought up on the food items I shared news on. Only this was from the perspective of social conditioning I experienced in the local food chain that impacted local business and food availability. This perspective is from the viewpoint of a background as a Food and Beverage Manager and Banquet Manager for some local Canadian Hotel Chains, and a partner in an organic wholesale food company. This post brings my current career focus of human conditioned behaviour into focus as the lens I am looking through for this post. https://youtu.be/ZdDBgf2bRro?si=q2ht-E33xakFnOGg.

I did an experiment on Sunday with two sourdoughs, one is being fed with liquid whey from kefir and the other with water. I posted about their differences in the process of making loaves on Facebook @ Awareness through Eating. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17SV4KqiUC/

Here is another item that has been hard to find, and when found, the cost is too high to make sense - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cvhw8TBiN/.

I posted this photo on my Facebook page describing trying to find whole cloves yesterday, and where I found them and how it turned out to be the most economical. I have begun to share these insights on this page https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17hroLrRfJ/. Another post was on a whole grain I love that is not hard to find locally. It is Kamut. If I do find it, the price is too high for it to make sense purchasing it. If these informational tidbits interest you, check out the Facebook page, Awaeness through Eating, and like or follow. ,

4 Things I noticed on a trip to the grocery store-Integrating Life Areas...

Creativity falls into the Future Life area of the lifestyle learning topics I use as a template. Here in this little video, it may appear to be about sourdough bread, and yes, that is the focus of attention, yet there is a deeper message being shared that demonstrates the interactive nature of integration. In this example, thinking, spoken word, somatic senses, inner sensations and unconscious habits and more...... It's a perfect demonstration of the interactive relationships I explore with people through learning in the programs @ insideawarenesscenterforintegrativesomticlearning. Enjoy this little clip.

Did it! Made cinnamon buns with sourdough. Messy yet lovely outcome

It's that time of the year - chicken feet bone broth. Good for joint and bone health

Awareness through Health is a topic at the Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning. Awareness through eating is a program category under this heading at the learning center. Some videos are posted under this playlist on YouTube channel for the learning center @ https://www.youtube.com/@insideawarenss. This channel is on learning topics for the center. There is also a channel under my name, Renee Lindstrom @ https://www.youtube.com/@somaticlifestyleinfluencer - This channel hosts the somatic environmental stimulus to behaviour triggers.

Added Cranberries to LIquid Whey to ferment and carbonate, along with basil, fresh rosemary needles, sage and the best tasting oranges. Won't be able to taste for a few days, yet already looking forward to it.

Here are some pics of making fire starter this eve. Who could imagine nature's medicine could be so beautiful?

I added a new recipe page index on Awareness through Eating with links to both Facebook and Instagram announcing how to follow and explore the dishes and drinks that are our focus of attention in the moment. Kefir dishes, Liquid Whey fermented infusions and tree water carbonization, etc. Check recipe page and Somatic Eats posts out @ https://awarenessthrougheating.wordpress.com/recipes/
