I really noted how much a role thought and memory and emotion seemed to play here. The way you seem to be as comfortable 'up in your head' as you were being 'in the body'. It leaves me with a much wider sense of what focusing is, rather than one of just being in the body and throwing down 'handle words' into the abyss until something sticks. I've been struggling with this latter approach. In fact, it's usually after giving up on the session, that I have a more meaningful experience: thoughts, memories and impressions from the day are reflected by the body through the prism of the mind and emotions. Providing I'm aware of the impressions, I can be a witness to them rather than get lost in them, and a more nuanced sense of 'all of that' comes piece by piece into my awareness. Thank you .
Martin, I am so happy to be able to show the "whole self" quality of Focusing. The "body" is really more than the physical body, it is all of this: thought, memory, and emotion, and well as felt experience. And, as you say, witnessed rather than being lost in.
What a great guided session! I've only tried focusing twice and it has helped find out something new each time. It's a great tool for me! Thanks for this video

Dear Ann, it would have been useful to me to understand the quality of the shift that happened. What was the message to you?
I think it can be hard to understand the subtle shifts of Focusing from watching a video. I posted this because people tell me it can be helpful to watch. But I think the more people have studied Focusing, the more they see in the video.
