Resumen del Editor

Here is a breakthrough method of “unlocking the wisdom within your body” to solve specific problems and achieve dramatic personal growth and change. This original, innovative program of self-therapy enables you to tap into your deepest level of wisdom, the “gut-level” knowledge that already exists within your body. By accessing this subliminal body-mind awareness (or “felt sense”) that lies beyond thoughts and feelings, you can get to the root of the conflicts within you, gain a fuller comprehension of your unresolved problems, and solve them.

What is focusing? It is a technique of self-therapy that teaches you to identify and change the way your personal problems concretely exist in your body. Unlike methods that stress “getting in touch with your feelings”, there is a built-in test: each focusing step, when done correctly, is marked by a physical relief, a profound release of tension. Focusing guides you to the deepest level of awareness within your body. It is on this level, unfamiliar to most people, that unresolved problems actually exist, and only on this level can they change.

Both a practical guide and a powerful philosophy of personal growth, this effective, proven procedure has wide-ranging applications, including healing, education, business, creative pursuits, and problem solving.

Seminal Work

This is instructional, the narration is short and easy to listen to. It goes through the technique thoroughly. It's very good to have this on a recording. The instructions for the technique are easy to follow, given several times and with an example. The voice is slow and calm, perfect for this kind of work.

Subtle but powerful

Focusing is an intuitive approach that works! Eugene's voice is perfect to guide in the process. I've listened to this a number of times and I know I will many more times!

Focuses on working with and interpreting gut instincts

Focuses on working with and interpreting gut instincts -- a refreshing vacation from approaches which are exclusively logic based. Hard to execute on the steps at first if you haven't done focusing before, but it is worth it to keep at it until you feel the shift.

very good content

Short but packed with very focused material. Great examples and walked through the steps so it becomes very easy to get and to do.

Good listen

Easy listen. Nice to hear a more specific breakdown of concepts I'm already familiar with.

great step by step

loved thus audio book. will try these steps. I am new to this practice and can see how it could help to understand and gain key information about how to move forward.

Descriptive of the process and experience

The book defines focusing most meaningfully as the practitioner implements the practice and how it feels, step by step. I feel I understand enough to implement the process of focusing.

Good one

I really liked His book , I'm glad they have it on audible did, read it many years ago and it was very helpful and is good to review now that I'm older.
Excellen information and how to do it .

This book is a great resource

I love the fact that this book is so concise. Only thing I would request is that it come with an accompanying PDF outline of what he is talking about. That would be very helpful.

Simply brilliant!

It’s both simple and brilliant. This is IFS-like but less complicated and bogged down by needing to identify parts. It’s an extremely pleasurable process. Feels intimate to both observe, validate and be with the body in this way. I hope you love it too. Highly recommended!
