Creating change through deeper awareness

Within Constructed Awareness®, EMS: Adapting describes one arrangement of the three building blocks—external, mental, and sensation—in which attention organizes primarily around environment and relational context.

Like all orientation styles, Adapting develops adaptively and may be regulating in some situations while creating strain in others. The letters EMS refer to the sequence of building blocks that construct experience.

Orientation in CA reflects how experience organizes in a given moment and can shift across contexts over time.

Within Constructed Awareness® (CA), mentally oriented styles such as MES: Striving and MSE: Thinking are understood as adaptive ways experience may organize around thought. The same orientation that supports clarity or endurance in one context may create distance in another.

If you’re curious about how your attention tends to orient across different contexts, the Constructed Awareness Scale (CAS) offers a place to begin noticing without assigning a type.

Within Constructed Awareness® (CA), MSE: Thinking describes one arrangement of the three building blocks—mental, sensation, and external—in which experience is organized primarily through inner reflection and meaning-making.

Like all orientation styles, Thinking develops adaptively and may be regulating in some contexts while creating distance in others. The letters MSE refer to the sequence of building blocks.
Orientation in CA describes process, reflecting how the building blocks may organize in a given moment and can shift across situations over time.

Within Constructed Awareness® (CA), MES: Striving, describes one arrangement of the three building blocks—mental, external, and sensation—in which experience is organized primarily through thought and action.

Like all orientation styles, Striving develops adaptively and can be regulating in some contexts while creating distance in others. The letters MES refer to the sequence of building blocks.

Orientation in CA describes process and reflects how experience may organize in a given moment and can shift across situations over time.

Before naming styles or patterns, Constructed Awareness® (CA) begins with noticing. What helps you remain present with experience? What becomes overwhelming? What feels regulating or supportive in this moment? Awareness creates space for choice where habit once dominated.

In Constructed Awareness® (CA), change is understood as something that emerges through awareness rather than effort. Patterns of orientation are not forced to shift. They soften as attention becomes more flexible and responsive.

What develops over time can also evolve over time. Not by replacing what is familiar, but by expanding what is possible within experience.

In Constructed Awareness®, orientation is understood as something that moves with life rather than something fixed. Patterns of attention can shift across situations, relationships, and levels of stress.

When awareness is present, these shifts become easier to notice. What once felt automatic can soften into choice, allowing experience to organize in ways that are more supportive in the moment. Orientation speaks to how experience unfolds, not who a person is.

In Constructed Awareness® (CA), externally oriented patterns describe ways experience may organize through attention to context, relationship, and the environment. There is an attempt to regulate oneself through regulating the environment. These patterns can support responsiveness, adaptability, and connection, and may also pull attention away from internal needs depending on the situation.

As with all CA orientation patterns, external orientation is understood as adaptive and moment-specific rather than fixed or defining. What matters is whether attention is regulating in the context at hand.

In Constructed Awareness®, sensation-oriented patterns describe ways experience may organize through internal feeling and body awareness. These patterns can support depth, empathy, and presence, and may also become overwhelming depending on context and capacity.

Within CA, sensation orientation is understood as adaptive and shifting rather than fixed or defining. What matters is not the pattern itself, but whether the available building blocks are regulating in a given moment.

In Constructed Awareness®, mental orientation is understood as one of the adaptive ways experience can organize itself. No orientation style is an identity or diagnosis. What matters is whether attention is regulating in a given moment.

The Constructed Awareness Scale (CAS) is designed to support noticing how attention orients across thoughts, sensations, and external perception in specific contexts. It does not assign a type, but offers a starting point for reflection and shared language within CA-informed work.
