The Power of Focusing Ann Weiser Cornell Focusing is a gentle yet powerful skill that lets you tap into your body’s wisdom and make positive changes in your life. The Power of Focusing shows readers how they can train themselves to learn this vital technique of self-exploration and self-discovery.This is a wonderfully clear and simple and reassuring guide to learning to pay attention to subtle hints from your body about what is going on in your life. The underlying idea behind the procedure Ann teaches is that we are not contraptions in which a mind and spirit are just tucked into a body like a pillow into a pillow case. Rather we are a unitary bodymind and whatever subtle or not so subtle senses are going on in our bodies–at least those that are not too closely related to disease or to what we just ate–probably have something to tell us about what we haven’t noticed yet about our lives. So we need to listen to our bodies, much as we would listen to another person we really wanted to understand.Quote:“The Power of Focusing clarifies an essential human skill many of us have forgotten and takes it a quantum leap farther along its evolutionary path. Here are germinal teachings and deep human wisdom expressed in a way that can improve anyone’s emotions, well-being, and life.”— Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior and The Laws of Spirit Quote: “Ann Weiser Cornell approaches Focusing with moment-by-moment sensitivity and years of depth. This is one of the most powerful therapeutic techniques of which I am aware an may even be said to be the basis of all good therapy.”— Jeffrey Mishlove, author of Roots of Consciousness and host of television’s Thinking Allowed Quote: “Most people make life’s important decisions by using their intellect. They think and become logical. Thus their path in life becomes path-o-logical. As a physician, I know how important our feelings are. We store a lifetime of feelings in our bodies. If not felt and responded to, they lead to disease—once again, a state of pathology. Learn to focus, and let the wisdom of your body teach you what it feels like to be happy. The wisdom of this book can help you heal the pathology. This book is an excellent resource for healing your life and body while guiding you to your life’s true path.”— Bernie Siegel, M.D.,author of Love, Medicine and Miracles; Peace, Love, and Healing; and How to Live Between Office VisitsQuote: “I have included Ann Weiser Cornell’s Focusing work in Intuitive Training classes with excellent results.
