Morning,
Good afternoon,
Good evening.
So about,
Um.
.
.
Maybe 25 years ago now,
I came across something called focusing.
It's not a very accurate description really,
But it is what it's called.
And.
.
.
It's a way of just tuning in.
To an emotion,
Browse through what's behind the emotion.
Sometimes you have a felt sense about things.
That we often don't pay attention to.
I'll just give you a very brief,
Simple example.
When I moved to Brighton,
I went to a second-hand shop.
And was his lovely Italian leather shoes.
I love things Italian.
And I was,
Oh,
I love those.
There was a voice stroke,
Felt sense.
Don't get them.
You won't wear them.
To what happened.
I desire.
Took over.
I bought them.
They weren't expensive,
But I didn't have much in those days.
I'd just come out of the retreat centre.
And.
.
.
What happened didn't worry them.
And just ignore that felt sense.
And the desire was too strong.
Just a very simple example,
And we have that about our lives,
That intuitive felt sense of something.
But were often mixed up with the thoughts and emotions.
So let's just spend some time just tuning into the body.
It includes the emotion we have to experience.
We include everything.
You might be feeling sad right now.
A bit feeling a bit lost,
I have a friend who's struggling.
They feel lonely.
Whatever.
Whatever it is.
May feel well and content.
There may be a holding.
A tightness somewhere.
Ah!
Interesting.
What's this?
Let's choose this.
Start to attend to the body.
Let's just see what's here,
Shall we?
If you just joined us,
We are attending to the body.
It's in what wants the attention.
There's something in the background,
A little murky perhaps.
Oh,
What's that?
They were often overlooked.
Maybe a more obvious emotion,
Just feel it,
Feel around it.
What does it feel like?
Be interested,
Not intellectually,
Not why.
More about what it feels like.
Right now.
Watch this.
Listen to it.
That reveal itself.
Is there something about this you've never noticed before?
Is their resistance.
I were a little anxious towards it.
There's times when Part of us are hurting.
And it just needs to be experienced,
Acknowledged.
Felt.
To heal our lives we need to get underneath thought.
Exactly what we're doing.
And write whatever to.
Reveal itself.
Ask it a question.
What do you need from me?
Nothing to accomplish.
We don't try to heal.
What we feel,
We naturally heal.
It just happens.
And you can carry on with this or the tab feels right.
Thank you,
Bodhi.
I need to open to them more.
Global awareness.
Just sitting.
Relaxing into your own presence.
The Beingness.
Where are you now?
We're either here or we're fantasizing.
Where is your attention?
It's just this breath.
There's only one breath.
The one that's happening now.
Okay,
That brings us to the end of the session.
Have a little stretch.
Little wiggle.
And that's it.
Thank you all.
