Product Description
The classic guide to a powerful
technique for personal transformation
Based on groundbreaking research conducted at the University of Chicago, the focusing technique has gained widespread popularity and scholarly acclaim. It consists of six easy-to-master steps that identify and change the way thoughts and emotions are held within the body. Focusing can be done virtually anywhere, at any time, and an entire “session” can take no longer than ten minutes, but its effects can be felt immediately–in the relief of bodily tension and psychological stress, as well as in dramatic shifts in understanding and insight.
In this highly accessible guide, Dr. Eugene Gendlin, the award-winning psychologist who developed the focusing technique, explains the basic principles behind focusing and offers simple step-by-step instructions on how to utilize this powerful tool for tapping into greater self-awareness and inner wisdom. As you learn to develop your natural ability to “focus,” you’ll find yourself more in sync with both mind and body, filled with greater self-assurance, and better equipped to make the positive changes necessary to improve and enhance every aspect of your life.

Mans search for meaning meets dna activation,
By
This review is from: Focusing (Bantam New Age Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
The search is over for a book which gives clearly defined steps to understanding the inner self. It takes the concept of emotional and spiritual intelligence, prayer, meditation, ancient and modern philosophy and combines them into a meaningful way to address emotional disturbances. The process is surprisingly pain free and can be done virtually anywhere you can get away with closing your eyes for 5 minutes. All I need now is a book on motivation to get into the habit of going through the process more often.

A technique that truely EVERYONE can learn and use.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Focusing (Bantam New Age Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
Having read the recommendation for this book via a "Mega Brain" article, I can truthfully say that this book does deliver the goods - even if a little practice is required! Unlike other books, this is a practical guide and as such is written in a very approachable style with plenty of examples, backed up with what to do if nothing is happening!! This is definately one book that exceeds its monetary value.

A Focused Book,
By
This review is from: Focusing (Bantam New Age Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a succinct and very accessible statement of Gendlin's practice of Focusing. Written in a human way it is of help to individuals for their own practice or if they wish to use it when helping others. For the theoretical underpinning just visit his website and there is a wealth of free material to download.
