Focusing — Pause & Discover the Wisdom of the Body

Focusing grew out of the 1960s, when psychotherapist and philosopher Eugene T. Gendlin noticed something simple but profound: real therapeutic progress only happened when people paused during a conversation — checking what was being said against their inner experience.

From that insight, the Focusing method was born: a mindful inner dialogue between body and mind that can bring surprising insights, deep relief, and fresh perspectives.


The Body — a Living Archive

Our most powerful experiences don’t just live in memory; they’re also stored in the body. The body carries a deep, often holistic knowledge that goes far beyond rational thought.

In Focusing, we tap into this wisdom through the felt sense: a subtle, often hard-to-define body feeling that reflects a certain situation or theme. It’s close to what we call intuition or gut feeling — but more precise, more nuanced, and with practice, easier to access.


The Mind — Open & Curious

With a curious, open mind, we enter into dialogue with these body sensations. We describe them, give them words or images, and check whether the description “fits.” This back-and-forth between body and mind creates a living conversation that can open the door to deeper insights.

You can even ask your body specific questions — and often receive answers from this inner knowledge.


The Shift — Tangible Change

This process often leads to unexpected aha moments: new perspectives that don’t just make sense intellectually, but are also felt physically. It’s what Gendlin called the felt shift — a noticeable inner release, a change you can sense right away.

Whether you’re navigating life questions or trying to make a concrete decision, Focusing can bring clarity, orientation, and a fresh way forward.


Blending with Other Practices

If you’d like, Focusing can also be combined with other mindfulness-based methods:

  • Open awareness from Buddhist meditation

  • Body scan — systematically sensing into the body

  • Imagery work from trauma therapy

  • Hypnotic suggestions — for deeper states of relaxation and inner journeying

You’re welcome to bring a specific issue to a session — or simply arrive with openness, and let yourself be gently guided into your inner landscape.


👉 Focusing invites you to pause, listen, and discover what your body already knows.
