You might not quite know what that means and that is how it should be. We'll be unlearning our traditional cultural ways of relating with ourself and others and rewiring our neural connections toward safety and connection as our natural way of being in the world. Much of what we learn to do here revolves around the Gendlin's concept that 'change requires being in relationship'. Here are some of the inner relational skills we'll be developing here:
- Making space for what you sense inside
- Sensing body sensations, images, emotions, thoughts, movements
- Forming relationships with what comes up
- Staying with them
- Sensing when they change
- Sensing what fits and doesn’t - checking back for a yes, no or more...
- Being able to tell whether what you observe is aware of you being with it
- Being with one body sense even as you’re sensing something new arising
- Enjoying positive feelings
We will all find our own way to doing this. We practice in partnership here to make it easier for us to stay with our own process. Companioning others comes with a variety of gifts, one being that our body finds new ways to communicate with us by observing what works for others.
Part 1 is also a good place to return to after you have been Focusing for awhile. This is spiral learning and something new comes every time around. It still does for me as your teacher.

Focusing really feels like a homecoming to me
Rainbow Lonestar
"What has stayed with me is the awe of the process and how profoundly it can change not only how we relate to ourselves but also to everyone and everything else around us. It really feels like a
homecoming to me, a gentle, compassionate invitation to bring Presence to what is."

Who's running who?
Leah Rodriguez
"I have something in me that likes to manage my thoughts. He runs around all day classifying and prioritizing thoughts in my head. Sometimes very violently closing things away. Focusing is a time where I can intentionally thank my manager for all he does for me but ask him to take a break so I can look more closely at what I keep shutting down. I'm finding that letting these things run their course is leading me to unexpected places. I feel free. Thank you Sandy for introducing me to this crucial life skill."
