About Focusing:
Focusing is a practice developed by philosopher/therapist Eugene Gendlin.
It acknowledges that every experience, situation, or problem is broader and more intricate than what we perceive. It teaches precise steps for directing attention to our “felt sense” of what is happening in a situation, allowing for the ‘more’ within it to open up and a new understanding to be formed. This ‘more’ cannot be understood through regular thinking, but only through the “felt meaning”, which we sense through the body.
In Focusing as developed at the Shakio Institute, the focus is not only on changing life situations but also on learning how focusing can transform the self and our ways of perceiving life.
Focusing is not just aimed at providing a “better solution” for life problems, or just at uncovering the complexity inherent in every situation; focusing also teaches a person to recognise themselves as a ‘being in creation(ing)’. A being who is continually being created and is a partner to the process of their creation.
As well as being relevant to all of life and many specific areas such as health and education, Focusing is also particularly helpful for our contemplative spiritual journey and very relevant to spiritual companioning – for both companions and those they journey with.
