Personal Statement about Training Program:
Focusing brings a powerful way to grapple inwardly, and offers Western process philosophies and psychologies a kind of yoga, a practice in which you can live the philosophy, check it against your own experiencing, and create it further as you follow your experiencing faithfully. I have used the felt-sense in with TAE, a theory building practice, to generate a powerful theory such as Heart Psychology, and cross it in my clinical and teaching work with Jungian psychology and with a Mentoring Program in Transpersonal Psychotherapy. Focusing can be a tremendous resource not only for personal and therapeutic growth, but for contemplation and spiritual development, helping us root ourselves in the soil of experience, and the wisdom of the body.
A Sample of my Work:
'The practice of focusing on a felt-sense offers ˙ou the possibility of bringing the heart and the mind into proper relatiönship, such that more of you comes on line in your living, and such that you can bring something into the world, into your community, that is needed, something it calls for, something which has your own unique and irreplaceable scent on it.'
