What is Focusing?
*Focusing*, as conceptualized by Eugene Gendlin, is a gentle mind-body process that is helpful in easing disturbing feelings, facilitating decision-making, addressing interpersonal issues and moving beyond the "I-want-to-but- can't" feeling associated with blocks to creativity. It involves attending to the place inside the body where you experience an issue and acknowledging what comes to your awareness. When something that was formerly vague becomes clearer, there is release in the body and positive life changes often come about.

--Focusing*** for accessing inner wisdom, reducing stress and moving beyond action blocks
