Focusing Skills Certified online Course
British Focusing Association (BFA)
LET YOUR BODY WISDOM GUIDE YOUR STEPS
Each of us is born with a very distinct and unique blueprint, a kind of inner wisdom that is inherent in each of us. From there we explore that uniqueness and evolution in the web of life moment by moment.
If each of us is a unique map in the world, only yours, then perhaps no external voice, no guru, no teacher or prophet can decide exactly what to do.
You can observe what you eat in an intuitive way, take care of your body like a temple, prepare the way, but
How can we discover the Mystery of our Being?

What do you do when you want to let go of something in you, but it is not ready to let go of you!?
How wonderful would it be if you could ‘be with yourself’ in a way that inspired flow and movement even with the most challenging of patterns, to tap into your innate body wisdom?
You can! Learn how to Travel Lighter in your life with Gene Gendlin’s Focusing Method.
What is Focusing?
Eugene T. Gendlin was the founder of Focusing, an American philosopher and psychologist who developed the mind-body connection practice called “Focusing,” and the philosophy behind it, which he called the “Philosophy of the Implicit.”
Focusing is an experiential, body-oriented inner enquiry for generating insights and emotional healing. Focusing is gentle and profound. It is a natural way of paying attention to oneself and others that is based in concrete inner experience.
By focusing inwardly and listening to your body, you can understand how you truly feel about your circumstances, a specific situation or a relationship. Embracing the flow of feelings in a non-judgmental way offers a fresh and new transformational process. And that results in forward flow of well-being, balance and self-awareness.
Focusing allows access to deeper levels of awareness, wisdom, and self-guidance that reside inside each of us. Through an easily learned, step-by step process, Focusing teaches how to turn our attention inside our bodies where we carry all our personal experiences, memories, sensations, emotions and feelings, even parts that we never thought there were there.
It offers a creative and quietly profound way of being even with what we find most difficult and challenging. In focusing we are often pleasantly surprised by fresh or new spaces emerging, even from ‘impossibly stuck’ places.
It is a moment by moment way of ‘coming home’ to yourself. It is an exquisitely sensitive way of listening to or sensing what our (inner) world is telling us, often in the form of subtle feelings/sensations, in a way that is safe and gentle.

Marta Fabregat
When I first learnt Focusing I felt I had arrived home. Having been a mindfulness practitioner and a spiritual/healing seeker for years Focusing offered the key to unlock something greater than I did not find before with any method or technique, even meditation practice. Focusing for me is like a tree with branches pointing at the universe. A way of coming home so delicately and gently, a door opening up to the possibility of Love emerging through us.
I was introduced to Focusing about 10 years ago on an NVC training and continued working alongside Simon McKibbin aka K2 in a number of foundation trainings for about 5 years at our Centre and home in South Co Galway, Ireland. We offered foundation year long experiential trainings and community living in group retreats sharing Focusing, NVC, and Mindfulness dancing between the three as supportive and interdependent models.
