What is Focusing?

Focusing is a somatic (body-mindfulness) practice and a philosophy that teaches us how we are always in interaction, with ourselves, with others, and with the environment. The approach was discovered by Gene Gendlin in the 1970s and is often used in somatic talk and relational therapies.

Focusing helps us find a way into the felt sense. To explore the unconscious, the subconscious, and the implicit.

Focusing helps explore and access creativity, imagination, and intuition.

Focusing calms and eases the body, returning to its wisdom and knowing.

Focusing eases you out of your thinking/analytical/judging mind into an open curiousness about inner senses, emotions, and perceptions.
