Stories about Focusing Partnership
What
Others Have Said About Focusing
"Focusing ability is the
birthright of every person: we were all born with the ability to know
how we feel from moment to moment. But for most of us, the experiences
of hurt and alienation in our childhood and from our culture have
caused us to lose trust in our bodies and our feelings. ... Focusing
lets you form a trusting relationship with your body so you can begin
to hear the wisdom of the vast part of yourself that is accessible
through body awareness. Focusing lets you listen to the whispers of
your body before it has to shout. Focusing is the key to changing your
life in a way that satisfies your inner sense of rightness."
Ann Weiser Cornell, Ph.D., International Focusing Teacher and Author of
Focusing Manuals
"We can talk about
feelings for twenty years and nothing changes - but if we get quiet and
talk from a place inside ourselves, where that feeling is held or
carried, then it can move. In Focusing, we call that a felt sense ...
how the body sums up all experiences. We live every situation with our
bodies. ... By allowing whatever is the truth in the moment to be here,
and keeping it company, it can move, it can change. Focusing is
spending time with places that, maybe, didn't get to live. Something
may have happened in our past and got stopped there. Focusing allows
you access to where energy is tied up so that it can open and move in
its own right direction." Mary McGuire, Psy.D., R.N., Past
Focusing Institute Director
