Focusing A body-centered process which brings clarity and fresh air to all your life issues … A step beyond thinking and feeling … A profoundly satisfying way to coming alive to your inner knowing … A gentle yet powerful manner of listening to your true self … What Is Focusing? Focusing is a natural process for change and personal growth. First researched and described by Dr. Eugene Gendlin, author of Focusing (Bantam, 1981), it is a step-by-step approach for gaining entry into that special intelligence called body wisdom or body knowing. This knowing place inside can be physically felt. There is a specific learnable way to give it your attention, and when it has your attention, new natural steps come, steps you could not invent deliberately. As these connections are made between what the body knows and what the mind knows, one is enriched with an inner strength and direction. This freeing process allows life energy to flow forward into positive new ways of being. What Are the Benefits? Through practicing the self-exploration and self-discovery provided in Focusing, one may gain deep insights into problems, gradually heal old wounds, and become more whole as a person. Focusing has also been used as a resource for spiritual growth, a means of deepening personal relationships and communication skills, a technique for reducing stress and preventing burnout, a method for tapping into your creativity, and a vehicle for decision-making and overcoming procrastination or writer’s block. Whatever the problem of situation, Focusing has been used successfully with every kind of life issue, past, present, or future
