Those new to Focusing and the felt sense will be expertly guided; those already familiar with the process will find fresh treasure on every page.

I know I will be re-reading this book for years and recommending it to all my students and friends."--Ann Weiser Cornell, author of The Power of Focusing and Focusing in Clinical Practice

SynopsisA manual for Mindful Focusing-a new integration of Western psychology and Buddhist mindfulness techniques for accessing your inherent wisdom and solving life 's problems Ever come up against one of those moments when life requires a response-and you feel clueless? We all have. But there's good news- you have all the wisdom you need to respond to any situation, even the "impossible" ones. It's a matter of tuning in to your felt sense- that subtle physical sensation that lives somewhere between your conscious and subconscious mind and that can be accessed through Focusing-the well-known method developed by the psychologist Eugene Gendlin. David Rome's technique of Mindful Focusing unites Gendlin's method with Buddhist mindfulness practices to provide a wonderfully effective method for accessing your felt sense-so you can problem solve, deal with challenges, and respond honestly and creatively to the world around you., Combines mindfulness with the Focusing technique made popular by Eugene Gendlin to tap into your body's subtle wisdom for dealing with all life's challenges. Your body has an answer to just about any question or challenge that arises. It's simply a matter of learning to recognize and listen to the subtle physical signal that comes from someplace inside you other than your mind. This "felt sense" was first made widely known by the psychologist Eugene Gendlin, whose book on learning to use your felt sense, Focusing , has sold millions of copies since it was first published in 1978. Certified Focusing teacher David Rome here enhances the traditional Focusing techniques with mindfulness and other Buddhist principles learned from his teacher Ch gyam Trungpa to provide remarkably effective techniques for learning to access your felt sense--and not only for applying it to problem solving and dealing with challenges, but for kick-starting the creative process in oneself. With its short, accessible chapters and its abundant practical exercises, this may be the most compact and accessible guide to Focusing yet published., Combines mindfulness with the Focusing technique made popular by Eugene Gendlin to tap into your body's subtle wisdom for dealing with all life's challenges, A manual for Mindful Focusing--a new integration of Western psychology and Buddhist mindfulness techniques for accessing your inherent wisdom and solving life ' s problems Ever come up against one of those moments when life requires a response--and you feel clueless?
