Pause #15: Expanding Presence and Nov 1 Workshop

One of the key concepts of Focusing is what is referred to in inner relationship focusing as Presence, that spacious non-judgmental curiosity. In an ancient spiritual tradition that I am trained in, the truth about who we are is the sensation in our body that we feel when we experience or remember times in our lives that are delightful, happy, joyful, full of aliveness and curiosity. To me this is a very similar sensation to the feeling of Presence. The added gift of wisdom from this ancient culture is that this sensation of joy, delight, happiness, curiosity is the truth about who we are – when we are experiencing that sensation we are experiencing our true selves. That sensation holds the totally of our gifts, our knowingness, our ability to know and be know by all of creation. So now my Focusing sessions starts with my spending time with the sensation created by my sense of delight, aliveness, curiosity – sitting down with it getting to know it. More and more I turn to this sensation throughout the day. As often as possible I greet my world and those voices inside me that need my attention from that place. It’s a powerful addition to my Focusing practice.

Beyond the Myth of Will Power: Saturday November 1, 10am-4pm $60

As successful as we are in so much of our lives, there are often those lingering habits-- patterns of thinking feeling or acting-- where we feel stuck. Sometimes these un useful patterns seem impossible to change. Gratefully, Focusing is a kind and invigorating approach to change. Many of us have come to love this gentle non-judgmental process. In our sessions we sense, we receive that next best step, and then the next best step.

On Saturday, November 1, I’ll be presenting a day-long workshop “Beyond the Myth of Will-Power to a Sense of Freedom and Choice.” It’s a day for working on anything that you feel stuck about. So often we’re told or we tell ourselves that we don’t make change because we don’t try hard enough – we lack will power and determination. Focusing is a process that allows change with such ease. We’ll take time to listen deeply to the voices in us that want to change and the voices that don’t want to change and to receive the forward going energy of both.

I find that workshop settings – focusing in groups and in pairs, deepens an understanding of and trust in the focusing process and allows us to experience the richness of focusing with different people throughout the day.

You’ll be surprised what you can accomplish in a day

When you arrive at 3500 Westgate Drive, Suite 504, you’ll see a sign that says Health Touch—we are a group of 15 or so practitioners in this very welcoming lovely office space. Go around to the right side of the building to enter the classroom. The room we’ll be in is spacious, lots of windows, lots of trees, peaceful. Yet its convenient to many tasty restaurants. Westgate Plaza is right across the street from the Super Target on 15-501. There is also a full kitchen for those who want to bring lunch…a picnic table close by.
