FOCUSING LEADS US TO OUR SAFE GROUND
And so, how do we move ourselves closer to that ground upon which we feel safe, socially engaged, alive, thriving? One way of course, is to practice Focusing. We describe this same state of being that Porges defined as Presence or Self-in-Presence and we actively seek it.

Maybe there is somewhere in your life now where you have had a successful habit, are wanting to adapt it and are surprised that a change is not happening easily. I suggest you pause sometime that feels right and drop into your body. You could invite this issue either on your own or in a Focusing partnership. Be curious… Is the success of your current habit actually preventing you from adapting something new?

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.
Holding Your Own Truth when the Resistance Begins...

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.

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.

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

I want to thrive and be surrounded by communities that thrive. I want to live with all the aliveness my body provides and do this both from a sense of joyful freedom and boundaries that keep me safe. I want everyone in my communities to have access to experience, practice and learn Focusing if/when they desire.
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.
