Basic Focusing Practice

This is a basic Focusing practice. Focusing is similar to mindfulness meditation, in that we notice our thoughts and physical sensations. But rather than letting them go, as we typically do in meditation, we stay with them. We ask the physical sensations, emotions and thoughts, which collectively are called the felt sense, what they want us to know and what they need. The answer is our body's wisdom.

Focusing was created by Eugene Gendlin.

Very pleasant short yet deep practice that gave me a beautiful insight. Thank you!

Beautiful. I miss focusing. Hard to find practitioners who take insurance and work in this modslity so thank you! I would LOVE a recorded talk on focusing… how to apply it in day to day living, how it differs from EMDR in healing trauma, how and why we use it to access positive memories, how to use it at home with a partner (versus a clinician), perhaps how to integrate writing/movement, and the relationship or role that breathwork/mindfulness/qi gong etc…plays while using focusing as a primary resource to heal ourselves. Finally, application to living with long term, “incurable” chronic illness in order to bring appreciation and draw innate wisdom from the body no matter what state it’s currently in.
