How This Works
(Step One) You learn enough about Focusing to know you want to go further. How long this step takes depends on you. (You might be there already.)
You can read the first chapter of my book The Power of Focusing. If you like it, and want to read more, I’ve got the book available in my online store.
You can listen to this 45 minute free phone seminar that I recorded on January 12. It includes a Focusing exercise that you can try yourself. (download mp3)
(And there are other free seminars here.)
You may want to get our CD set “Learning Focusing” for a home study course in Focusing.
(Step Two) You have an individual guided Focusing session.
Receiving a guided Focusing session (on the phone or in person) is the most direct way to experience the benefits of Focusing immediately. You’ll be guided through the process in a way that is respectful, confident, and unobtrusive.
We have Focusing practitioners doing sessions at every price range, from free (with a trainee) to $175 (with Ann Weiser Cornell).
(Step Three) Take a Level One Focusing course, on the phone from anywhere in the world, or in person in selected localities.
You’ll learn how to take yourself through the Focusing process and how to be a Focusing partner (“Companion”) for another person. We do everything we can to make your experience, safe, supported, and empowering for you. We have a LOT of experience doing phone courses in Focusing.
Taking a course by phone is easy. First of all, you don’t have to travel anywhere! You can find a comfortable spot in your home or office where you won’t be interrupted, and settle down with your telephone and the course materials. (It’s best to have a hands-free headset for your phone, so you don’t have to hold the phone in your hand.) You do not need a computer or any other special equipment; just a phone – but if you like you can call with Skype to get lower phone costs.
(Step Four) Make Focusing a trusted part of your life, with the support and skills you learned in the course. Be able to listen deeply to yourself, know better what you feel and want, access your calm self in the midst of stressful situations. What most people find is that doing Focusing on a regular basis lets them be more fully themselves – as they always knew they could be.
You can also:
Meet potential Focusing partners in a worldwide network of Focusers in over 50 countries
Take Levels Two-Four of the Focusing Training Program to deepen your abilities as Focuser and as Companion
Take one or more of our other phone courses or retreats
