Find A Focusing Partner: We have people in our partnership pool from all over the world, many of whom are meditators. If you wish you can request a partner who shares that background.
Phone Coaching Sessions: These sessions will teach you the established steps to learn focusing and are customized to help each person individually. One or several phone sessions will give you a beginning taste for Focusing. We have coaches who are also long time Buddhist practitioners, if you would like to be taught Focusing by someone who practices that crossing.
