This is a question that often comes with an interesting answer. To define focusing is to put into words what chocolate feels like as it is melting in your mouth or the way a cats fur slides through your fingers.
Focusing is a way to be and listen to your own inner world. It’s a way of being deeply present with what wants to be known and come into relationship with that. It is a life skill where we can be with something unclear and give it the space it needs to become more clear.
What are the benefits of focusing? It can help support us to be with our wholeness, it can deepen our understanding of others and ourselves, helps us to feel grounded and centred, helps us to have a kinder way with our inner life, builds trust in own feelings and senses. We can learn to be better listeners and learn ways to manage self-judgement and criticism.
