Focusing is a learnable life skill that helps us turn our attention inward and sense how life is being lived in our bodies.

It is a way of pausing and giving attention to our ongoing experiencing, especially in situations that feel complex, uncertain, or confusing so that something new can unfold and carry the situation forward.
Focusing begins with our inherent human capacity to sense our living body from within and to attend to the body-mind wisdom present in our ongoing experiencing.

When we turn toward our most challenging situations, especially those that feel confusing, Focusing enables direct contact with this inner body-mind intelligence. In doing so, what is not yet fully known is given the time and space to unfold and carry the situation forward in a new way.

In Focusing, our attention is given to how a situation is being bodily experienced in the moment. From this ongoing experiencing, images and felt sensed qualities emerge, and we gradually discover words that fit , words that feel just right for this ongoing experiencing, rather than explaining or generalising it. In this way, meaning emerges from the person’s own ongoing experiencing and remains specific, personal, and unique.
 

By its very nature, Focusing is subtle. Simple but not easy, it unfolds through an experiential process of discovery, held in an empathic, non-critical and compassionate way. It supports people in reconnecting with natural abilities that are inherent to all of us, yet which, in the conditions of everyday life, we rarely have the time, space or encouragement to notice, develop, or trust.
