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
