Why Focus?

I am often asked about the benefits of Focusing. And my answer always has a new twist because something new comes to my own or another Focuser’s awareness that I’ve talked with. This has inspired me to begin a list of how Focusing changes one’s life.

My message is that those who are making changes and feeling flow in their lives – expect Resistance. Those witnessing, even loved ones, may not embrace your happiness and trust. It does not mean they do not love or appreciate you, it only means in that moment they reacted, they were not aware that their inner critic was in charge.

Ah YES!, being a skilled Focuser certainly makes all of one’s life encounters much more interesting!   I recently had the privilege of a close encounter with Borrelia spirochete, the little guy transmitted by deer tick bites that is associated with Lymes disease. He entered my body shortly after I had returned home from this amazingly magical trip to the Dominican Republic for my daughter’s wedding.

I also believe that every courageous step anyone of us takes to line ourselves up with our own inner heartfelt knowing and then act from that place of living our highest wisdom makes it easier for it to happen again.  We are paving the way for a new way of being.  It gets easier each time we do it, our body learns to trust the process, and we model that it is not so hard to those around us.  Be the change you’d like to see.

Last week I attended a learning seminar put on by The Institute for Brain Potential called Calming an Overactive Brain.  It was essentially a lecture given by Dr. Ted Dumas.  I was looking for the latest neurological research around other activities/factors that would support our ability to Focus in addition to practice, practice, practice.

First, in Focusing, we are primarily working with an inner experiential process and if it feels best, each of us can keep ‘what’ the experience is about, to ourselves.  All content that might come up in a Focusing Session is always 100% confidential... 

Next, Focusing is relationship building and we will be encouraged to honor what feels right to the inner relationship.

The Folio has inspiring stories of what happens when we take the Focusing attitude we learn out into the world.

And so, November is here and the holidays are almost upon us.  I am wondering how is this year coming down for you?  Are you feeling lots of HO! HO! HO! holiday cheer or is it more like the mega holiday stress filled with endless OH NO’s!?  And maybe you feel both, oscillating up and down from one end of the holiday spectrum to the other, moment to moment.

“Success is what happens after you’ve survived all your mistakes.“

I found these words on facebook this morning and they speak deeply to me of the life forward movement that is always there when we are able to really “be” with the mistake and keep this beautiful process we call life moving.  The power of all of my experiences with Focusing are that they have proven to me again and again that no matter how large a mistake may feel at the time, there is a way forward through it to something one might call “success”.
