Focusing

Focusing involves paying attention to your inner space to see what comes there, without going inside it. Usually you can feel something about the whole issue, even though it may be vague and unclear. Getting a felt sense of all of that and staying with it in a friendly way until a quality, word, phrase or image arises and seems to fit, or resonate with that sense, can lead to a shift in the whole thing. Sometimes the whole thing will shift several times and each time you may get another quality, sensation, picture or sound that seems to fit. Getting shifts can lead to changes in how you feel about situations, changes in how you act in life and clarity around issues that was missing before.Focusing Level 1 Numbers limited £40 Next training day: TBAYou will learn how to clear a space and experience the felt sense, getting a handle on it, resonating with it and seeing where it goes. You will also learn how to be a companion to another focuser, how to guide them into their space, how to support them in their process and how to bring them back out at the end. After this course you can be a companion to a focuser.Level 2 £40Next training day: TBAThis deepens your skills as a focuser and a companion.

From Shadow Into Light From Shadow Into Light £40 Date: TBAWe can all notice ourselves. We can notice those parts of us that we like and those that we dont. Sometimes we push away the unliked parts and we miss out on the gifts they hold for us. Using psychosynthesis techniques and creative therapies, you will creatively explore some of the parts you wish you didnt have, bringing your hidden resources and gifts to light.For individuals wishing to further their personal development and counsellors / therapists wishing to enhance ways of working with clients.Two facilitators, limited numbers and all equipment provided. Once upon a time, I was full of anger. I didnt know why I was angry, I just felt it keenly.It wasnt ok for me to be angry, because I didnt have anything in my outer life to cause it. I began hurting myself to try and gain some relief. I knew I needed to do something about it. I couldnt live this way any longer. Tapping into my anger, finally it was heard, as was the fear that lay underneath it. I found out that my anger was a defence against the fear that I wasnt good enough. Good enough for what, I wondered? And then came the revelation good enough to be. I was angry with the world for forcing me to have to be perfect in order to exist. My anger protected me, kept me safe, by enabling me to hold people at a distance. If they never got close, theyd never find out I was bad. If they really knew me, they wouldnt love me. Nowadays, my anger still rears its head on occasion. Ive learned to accept it, to value it as a part of me that is useful, that gives me information. I can choose what to do with the information, to act or not to act. My relationships are fuller and more intimate than ever I thought possible. And I am good enough for me, good enough to be.
