It provides a different way to heal a person from the harmful effects of stress and illness and to regain a sense of wholeness that assists us to unite body and mind. Trying to ignore anxiety that comes with illness doesn’t usually work. No matter how much one attempts to distract oneself, there is often still a great deal of background stress that remains in the body. A deeper release may result if one attends directly to the physical sense of each stressor and attempts to remove it.

The focusing attitude of acceptance and acknowledgement helps the focuser recognise feelings without being overwhelmed by them. This cleared space has a sense of clarity and deeper calmness.Heather Rogers is a Counsellor and Certified Focusing Trainer from Palmerston North.
