Why Focalizing Now?

[click bold for depth]

Why Focalizing Now?, the query of my own life purpose, is also the title of an article soon appearing as a feature on goodtherapy.org (an association of therapists who believe people are equipped to transform their obstacles to optimum health and happiness).

Recently, I made a presentation on Focalizing and self-reinvention for The Meadows where their representative Judy Smith (below pic) and an engaged audience had a unique experience. It felt like profound healing occurred quite naturally in that room.

Why Focalizing Now? Our world has been deeply impacted by confusion and suffering stirred up by worldwide economic insecurities and resultant rapid shifts in experience and perceptions. On the other hand, never before in history has our global, human inter-connectedness been so tangible. To not seize the opportunity for self-growth and transformation in these times would be tragic.

Focalizing is one of an assortment of nature-based energy and somatic psychologies that teach us how we can naturally meet collective and individual challenges in ways that allow us to move forward with grace and dignity. We are swiftly moving from healing systems that are limited to linear biographical stories towards modalities that are holographic and sensed in our bodies. These evolving methods take some learning, going beyond traditional science into the world of phenomena, yet the results felt are substantial. Focalizing is best defined as a process that helps individuals and groups remove blind spots that prevent achieving goals and realizing intentions. It is a dynamic and effective process that allows us to respectfully set aside familiar thoughts and feelings to access nature’s gift to us: our innate intelligence. I will also define Focalizing as a technique for experiencing wholeness in your body.
