Something in us might be short of choice when it comes to being hostage to the Cartesian ‘I think therefore I am’ mind, hostage to anxiety, worry, beliefs, convictions, depression and more.  Focusing Training Winter 2025 https://www.tickettailor.com/events/focusing There is another way, through Embodied Relational Presence for deeper healing and forward movement.

Healing Connection, Creativity, Community, Wellbeing through Relational Presence

"Certainly, Focusing and the Dharma are not separate in this world. They are like the ocean and the horizon, and the great sky above—not separate, breathing itself, living itself, reveling in the majesty of things."
Courses and Coaching: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/focusing

"The fullness of itself rests in the fullness of itself. In this way, there is no polarity, but neither would one call it non-duality, so no duality and no non-duality."

"Presence rests in Presence. So, I guess my language for the Great Liberation, you could say, is Presence: Pre-Sence, that which comes before sense, that Mystery."

"Focusing is not about focusing. When something becomes about something, Buddhism becomes about Buddhism, or Nonviolent Communication becomes about NVC, it’s as if we go to a revolving door and we keep revolving around inside it."

"The function of a revolving door is to act as a portal into the very space or different space that you are wanting to get to."

"Hopefully what is happening is I am entering my Humanity more deeply. It’s a natural expression of my Humanity, Focusing, NVC, Mindfulness, Buddhism, they are not about themselves, they are pointing beyond themselves in a way."

"All true liberation teachings, according to her, always point to direct experience. If they are pointing to ‘Talking about’ Enlightenment, the great freedom etc, then they are not the true teaching, they are merely a dichotomy promoting and reinforcing itself."

"She mentions this term ‘Being Perception’—becoming perception, entering the realm of perception, as if we drop into the realm of perception rather than talking about it, in this way becoming awareness itself."

"The felt sense is the heart of Gene Gendlin’s Focusing, not feeling, but the felt sense, which is more than a feeling, it’s the inclusive whole to an experience that is alive."

"When there is a whole perception of itself, it is an invitation into full sensory awareness from its own terms as it drops into itself, so to speak, there is neither a duality nor a non-duality, and it just rests in itself."

"As this body here is listening to these sounds, so to speak, it can also notice the earth, the body can sense the whole shape of itself even as these sounds manifest and the spaciousness from the skin’s perspective, as it were, radiating out beyond these four walls up into the blue or dark night sky with a trillion shimmering diamonds."

"It’s the pregnant empathic pause from the whole sense of itself, and as this does so, and as the words and labels and interpretations, as it were, are just offered to space in the totality of things, they no longer have dominion over creating a split."

"The whole of this that owns itself, that, as it were, is hearing back from itself, or even as it were, is pausing in the hearing, the availability of the hearing back from itself, the whole of itself, the whole of itself hears back from the whole of itself."

"The map is not the territory, the finger pointing to the moon is the finger pointing to the moon, this is invariably an invitation for the moon and the light of the moon to inhabit itself. It just bathes itself in its own light."

"Focusing has been a portal for me personally into the mystery of the whole of this, playing itself out. Focusing, which of course, is not about focusing!"

Presencing with the Stars Focusing Attunement

Pausing and Entering Presence
Just pausing right now.
Yes, I guess we're in mid flow, right? Life, mid flow, flowing, moving.
And this invitation into presence, in a way, is honoring the flow, yet becoming more aware of it.
And perhaps entering it more deeply.
Maybe some stillness in the flow, some flow in the stillness.
Making Room for Arrival
And just making room for where you have come from — maybe busy, quiet —
entering this portal, this space.
Landing.
Being available to your sensing.
Body-Based Listening
Dropping into yourself more fully.
Listening from the body's perspective.
Noticing any more subtle, more nuanced experience —
perhaps a breathing —
as the body lands on earth, sensing the ground.
Sensing the chair, or whatever you're on.
Wholeness and Expansion
So a sense of emerging, becoming more whole.
Sensing outwards into sounds and space —
the relative space of your room,
and the infinite space beyond it,
into the stars, that sea of pearls.
It’s as if we’re being breathed by these stars, by the universe.
Feet on the planet. Here on the eastern edge of the Milky Way.
Breathing together.
Something Alive Within
And in all of this, something alive in you —
something in the tummy or chest, throat,
or maybe more — something amorphous, more subtle.
Or something really obvious, bounded.
Perhaps both.
The universe beholds it. The senses hold it.
Welcoming What Is Felt
Perhaps moving in closer.
Or offering more space.
Is it ready for a little hello?
Hello!
How might it like you to be with it?

Embodied relational presence?



In the Universal Flow Focusing Attunement

Welcome to this presence invitation.

As I look up, I see a blue sky—clear and open—and the canopies of many trees, their leaves rich with vibrant tones of green. Swifts, swallows, or house martins flit about, dancing in the sky.

I can really feel my feet on the grass. In a way, that’s a metaphor for presence—grounded and spacious, clear, bright, and open.

A Sky Dance

There’s a dancing in the sky, a pirouetting, a frolicking, just like those house martins and swifts.

Now, we may not start there, but we can be available—just available—to the fineries of sensing.

Awakening the Senses

Perhaps noticing some fabric on the skin—brushing close, or firmer, tighter—keeping the body safe and protected, maybe warm, maybe secure.

And the more obvious sensations where the body meets gravity, meets the earth. Resting in that touch, in the sensation of contact.

Held by the Earth

Inviting the body to adjust, to respond to this contact. Being held. Being supported. Being loved, if you like, by the earth—always available at all times.

Subtle Space

And then, the sensation of space—more subtle. Often synonymous with sound. Sounds and space extending out to the infinite, embracing all the diamonds and pearls and gems in the sky.

In between the stars and us, the birds. We are being breathed by that very same sky.

What’s Alive in You

And making room for what’s alive here in you—something subtle, something more obvious, something contracted, something spacious—or neither. Or both.

A Gentle Welcome

Making room to welcome, or give space, or come alongside.

Offering a little hello. Hello!

Keeping company with care, with warmth and compassion.

Resting here.

Birds pirouetting in the Blue summer sky Focusing Attunement

Presence and Truth
Coming into presence.
A presence that knows its own truth. It really is not a cognitive thing.
Life manifesting into its fullness. Of course, it's already in its fullness.
Perhaps it's more the availability manifesting to this fullness.
Nature's Participation
And all the creatures join in. I can certainly hear lots of birds here doing their evening song.
And the sun is bowing down, offering its light between the leaves—
A golden hue, the soft warmth.
Evening prayers to the universe.
Here, on the eastern edge of the Milky Way, the eternal prayer—
Bathing us in light and warmth and love.
Body and Earth Connection
And the body responds.
Sensing its connection with the earth through the feet or seat, or otherwise—
An easy contact.
And perhaps the body can sense its shape, fizzing, tingling, pulsing warmth or cool pressure, movement, stillness—
At the experience.
A kaleidoscope of experience, shifting, flowing, emerging.
Flowing Aliveness
Winding.
Meandering.
And yet infinite and eternal at the same time—
As the body senses space beyond the confines of its shape into the shapeless—
That simply knows itself to be true.
Relational Wholeness
Keeping the stars company.
Keeping all the animals and creatures and plants and trees, rivers, oceans and lakes company.
As we too are kept company.
Breath and Inner Life
Being breathed by it all.
And breathing it, or—
Making room for any life, motion, mood, inside.
Welcoming the Inner
Something there—
Wanting to come home, perhaps,
Or just to be celebrated,
Or otherwise to be healed,
To be enjoyed,
To be loved.
Resting in Presence
Resting in presence.

Sun Prayer Focusing Attunement

Arrival and Opening
Welcome to this focusing experience.
As we land in the pause.
And then the pause… just inviting a quality of availability—being available.

Whole-Body Awareness
Sensing from the whole body.
Being receptive. Open.
Don't try too hard. It can just happen by itself.
The body is rather magic.
It can just respond with sensitivity—
To the sound of a bird,
To the sense of space,
To contact with the ground.

Aliveness and Grounding
Coming alive.
It’s already alive.
Got it.
Really taking in that contact with the earth.
Grounding and everything.

Tree Metaphor
Rooting like a tree, burrowing its roots deep down into that rich, organic soil.
Nutritious, nourishing.
Safe.
Stabilizing, balancing.
And the tree trunk extending up into the sky, its branches proliferating.
Bending to the winds, but not breaking.
Reaching up into the big blue—
With a star-studded night sky.
Friends with the stars.

Embodied Belonging
We, too—grounding, earthing, balancing.
Finding agency in connection—
In the earth, in relationship.
Sensing inwards from this empowered whole sense of self.
Holding what needs to be held.
Offering a safe space to all.
Coming alongside in this way.

Inner Contact
Perhaps a little hello to whatever is there—
With a quiet compassion.
Coming home?

Coming Home Grounding like a Tree Focusing Attunement

Welcoming the Felt Sense
Welcome to this focusing session.
The felt sense — that slippery fish, that elusive diamond treasure… that portal.
How do we entertain that? Or how does it entertain us, even?
Just settling, pausing, and settling.
Just letting things be.
The felt sense is really an emergent quality in our experience, as it is — always available at all times.
It’s a bit like the sun rising, the flower blooming, or the wings of a butterfly as it emerges from the cocoon — slowly, slowly opening, perhaps shyly.
Or the deer coming out of the forest, tentatively…
Landing in the Body
As the body arrives in itself more fully — sensing the earth beneath its feet, the pull of the chair…
Noticing whatever contact the body offers the earth, and resting there.
Briefly savouring, perhaps, the sensations.
Being held. Supported. Earthy and grounding.
These senses can be alive to the space around you.
To all the different sounds — maybe beyond the four walls…
Above the treetops… into the great blue or starry night, where a trillion diamonds hover.
And in this hovering — here we are on planet Earth.
With each other, with all beings, all sentience, plant and animal.
And all the elements.
Making Room for What Arises
In all of this, something presents itself in us.
Something tender.
Something raw.
Something shaky.
Maybe something confident, spacious. Open.
Something humorous. Something serious.
Just making room.
Landing. Keeping company.
And perhaps quietly welcoming — in your own unique way — befriending, saying: “Hello… Hello…”
Or maybe it’s not ready for that just yet.
Deepening Curiosity and Inquiry
Of course, there’s the obvious sense of feeling.
And we’re curious: what’s around that?
What’s behind that?
What’s the whole of that about, really?
No demand.
Just a kindly curiosity.
A soft awareness.
Resting here.

Rising Sun Felt Sense Focusing Attunement

The Feather on Water Attunement
Opening and Arrival
So, welcome everyone to this practitioner session community session.
Yes, they're just arriving, all those parts of us bubbling away. Maybe one part particularly present, or maybe there's just a whole equanimous sense of self.
Or maybe a whole sense of self holding the various elements here.
Exploring the Heart of Focusing
So here we are exploring the heart of focusing together.
And what is the heart of focusing?
How does that beat?
What is it for you?
Settling and Landing
I'm just making space to settle.
Settling.
Landing.
Very gentle, soft, landing, like a feather landing on a still lake, very subtle concentric rings like going out on that lake.
We, too, are landing.
Soft Awareness and Connection
So, a soft awareness, a soft and warm availability, if you like.
Softness of breathing as soft as the infinite sky.
Softly landing
Sensing the feet softly, it's or wherever they are touching.
And the body it's controls connected to the earth in some shape softly nestling, yes.
Universal Connection
Breathed by this same universe.
Soft fragrance, the stars twinkling, joy like gladness.
The body emerging as a visceral whole experience and tingling maybe.
What's alive in you?
Holding and Curiosity
Something needing to be held.
The Body is responding with curiosity. Maybe.
Universal Communication
What might the stars say to this one in you? There's something there.
What would all the animals say?
What might the Mighty oceans communicate.
Full Moon.
The feather Landing on the lake?
How would that be available?
As I say, what the animals say, Mumjack, calling in the distance calls.
The cry of the world.
Closing and Rest
Resting here.
And taking your time, taking a lead from your whole sense of self.
________________________________________

Feather landing on Lake Soft Feeling Attunement

Setting the Atmosphere
It's quite sultry here today, quite kind of hot. Oddly enough, the sun's not really been out - sticky. So hopefully this presence invitation will bring fresh experiences, freshness.
Landing and Arriving
So landing and arriving. In a way, it's always new. You can't walk across the same river twice, I believe, if that's Heraclitus. There's a freshness already here in the invitation.
Checking Intention
I'm just checking with your intention very gently. Is it inspired to be more open and curious, or is there something a bit closed, bit cramped, or even overwhelming? Even then you can offer a very gentle intention. We can invite it. Something softer or tender, something a bit bigger than feeling tone, perhaps.
Body Awareness
One thing - gently acknowledging feet, or the body on the ground. Sensing balance of the whole body. Maybe where the center of gravity might be. Being available to the shape of your whole body in a very gentle way. The fabric of clothing on the skin here and there.
Expanding Awareness
Sensing outwards. Quality of space around you. Extending beyond the clouds. That majestic sky. Maybe it's star studded, maybe not. Trillions of diamonds there, offering a sovereign majesty.
Inner Sensing
Just taking a moment to sense within. What's here right now? What's presenting itself? Something obvious, something more subtle, complex. Something with a clear shape, something more amorphous. Yeah, making space for all of that. How does it want to be held even?
Acknowledgment and Connection
A little acknowledgment of what's there? Maybe a little hello. Kindly. Gentle holding into a quality of relational presence, even embodied relational Presence.


Sovereign Majesty Focusing Attunement



Welcome to this presence Invitation.
The Universe is inviting Connection, presence.
What speaks and what hears? indeed.
Availability and Opening
And the word availability arises here - available.
Opening.
Tender sensing.
It's an invitation to be available from the whole self, the whole sensing.
What Arrives
And as such, what arrives?
This is an awareness in a broadness you could say.
What's making itself known, felt, sensed?
Grounding and Space
Perhaps the feet, the seat, the chair, bed, earth.
Perhaps the space around the body is calling with some particular sound - a bird or another sound.
What else?
It's arriving, emerging.
Body Sensing
The shape of the whole body, sensing, filling itself up with sensations - soft touch.
Warmth, cool….. Tingling.
On an out breath, sensing outwards – from the shape of the body and the shapeless beyond.
The Shapeless Beyond
Here, on the eastern edge of the Milky Way - shapeless beyond, shapeless.
Universe breathes the body.
Inner Landscape
And there's more - maybe thoughts, mood, emotions.
Something within, seemingly.
Space for all of that there in you, in the body.
What kind of space would serve these parts? Something spacious , closer space, tender space.
Space of celebration.
Colours and Symbols
How long might that space be if it were a colour?
What shape?
Metaphor or symbol might come from there.
Maybe there's an archetype - warrior, lover, king, Magician, Queen?
Allowing and Settling
Coming alongside, companioning, just as it is – maybe a not knowing, an ambiguity, shapelessness, maybe chaos - letting it be the way it wants to be as it settles, this settling.
Finding its place in the natural order of things in its own way and own time.

Coming close to your Heart Focusing Attunement

AUTUMNAL  SELF NOURISHMENT ATTUNEMENT 
Welcome.
There's this pre-autumnal feeling. I think in a few days' time. If I'm not mistaken, the 22nd. is… autumn. officially.
And yet the leaves are beginning to turn. And the air is fresher, and there are, well, high winds.
THE NATURE OF TRANSITION
Change, it's a time of transition. Very much a characteristic of Focusing. transition.
Transition without trying to make the transition in a funny way. It's an organic transition, just as leaves dropping off a tree mark the move towards winter through autumn.
DRAWING INWARD - THE WISDOM OF HIBERNATION
Kind of withdrawal into the cool essence.
And creatures will begin contemplating hibernating. Drawing into the warmth of the earth for rest. And also, renewal. Healing time. Hedgehogs and other creatures.
THE PARADOX OF PRESENCE
And just so... When we come into presence by pausing, resting.
Paradoxically, we're both withdrawing and expanding. Our awareness is expanded into an open place. It includes the stars.
SPACE AND INTIMACY
Space itself is a quality of being - expanded, and yet... There's an intimacy in the closeness within.
It's, coming home. Sensing the universe within.
GOING INTO THE INNER WARMTH
We go there. Into the warmth. Into the spaces. The heart.
And we just keep them company. With compassion, with a warm awareness, if you like.
CULTIVATING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
Or at least with an attitude, even if we don't have that kind of awareness. You can go in with an attitude of, Okay. I'm going to go in there. Or something is going to go in there.
Be with these parts in a caring, gentle way. Even if feelings are sometimes a bit rough.
GROUNDED WHOLENESS AND NURTURING
And in this way. From this grounded, whole sense of ourselves. We nurture.
Let's see... Nurture the warmth of the inner world. Wants and love.
FINDING SAFETY AND CONNECTION
Just as... The hedgehog finds warmth. Happens a lot of safety. With love.
Breathing life into hurt parts, or ostracized parts, or… Distant parts. Inviting… connection.
MEETING NEGLECTED PARTS
Reviving the freshness for maybe parts which have not had any care at all for a long time. Who knows?
Meet them in the light. Saying hello when ready to be said.
CLOSING AND RENEWAL
Yeah, it's like that. When you're ready, you can... watch. The light of spring.

Resting here.


Grounded and Spacious Starriness of Things Attunement

Focusing Attunement Practice
Introduction
This is focusing attunement.
I generally hesitate to call them meditations.
I think because... it doesn't have the structure, you could say, of your classical mindfulness approach.
And it's based on the felt sense.
Rather than, let's say, on focusing on one particular thing, or doing anything as a technique.
So hopefully this is honouring our natural self.
And I really value that.
Honouring how we are in the moment.
Without constructing anything.
So that's my vision, I guess, of presence, really.
It's a natural, organic way of being.
Setting In
So, yes, feel free to sit, lie.
Invite your attention to my invitations, or place your attention wherever you like.
So, yes, I think the word here is natural.
Organic, emergent.
By invitation.
Sensing
And as we sense inwards, perhaps.
Or just sense.
The sensing can also be, as it were, outwards.
Sensing how your body is sensing.
Already.
What is it noticing?
Grounding
And perhaps there's a degree of noticing the earth beneath your feet.
The seat.
Perhaps you're lying.
Underneath you, or in front of you.
On your side...
So, contact and touch.
Where gravity meets the body.
This is natural.
Organic.
Already happening.
Perhaps just resting briefly with these sensations.
Body Awareness
And there's more.
The shape of your body senses itself, perhaps.
A bit more fully.
Clothing, fabric on the skin.
Warmth and cool.
Tingling sometimes.
Pulsing...
Breathing.
Just letting it be the way it wants to be.
Expanding Outward
Of course, the body can sense the room.
Space.
Perhaps familiar.
Sounds... near and far.
Perhaps those distant sounds take you outside.
Perhaps there's some nature, some trees, some grass, hedges.
Into the Cosmos
Beyond the treetops.
Through the clouds... perhaps into the big blue vault.
Star-studded skies.
Into that infinity.
No end to stars.
Keeping us company.
Connection with All Life
Giving the planet company, and all beings, all of nature.
All of the elements, the seas, the lakes.
Forests... coastal plains.
Swamps and bogs.
Mountain ranges.
Cities and towns, villages.
All of life.
We are inextricably connected.
Sensing What's Alive
As we hear breathing.
I'm making a bit of space to sense inwards what's alive here.
Lighting it warm.
Caring awareness, if you like.
What's there?
Something wanting tender company... or more space, maybe.
Settling
Just settling.
Landing.
Being in presence.
Letting it all rest in itself.
Closing
Just taking your time, really, to emerge.

Resting in the Relational: A Journey from Thinking to Being

Opening Invitation
Yeah, welcome to this passionate connection.
Attunement, attuning, connecting.
An invitation into presence.
________________________________________
Autumnal Scene
It's a rather gorgeous day.
It's autumnal… freshness.
The leaves are being offered.
Reverently, received by the earth.
In their various colours — yellows, oranges, and reds.
________________________________________
Garden and Stillness
And the Buddha sits patiently under the tree at the bottom of my garden.
Sunning himself.
It’s quite still.
There is a gorgeous blue sky.
And a clear light.
It's clear and warm.
I can hear the hum of bees in the background — the worker bees around a certain evergreen.
For some reason, they seem to love it there.
It’s nature at work.
________________________________________
Time of Transition
This is a time of transition.
A submission of the old.
And an invitation into some rest, gestation, hibernation.
A holding space, really.
Even though the buds of spring are already here, if you look closely — like on the trees.
So just waiting, a holding space here as we settle.
Me too.
A kind of mini hibernation.
Gestation, healing, and restoration period.
Letting the old sublimate into rest and renewal.
And the birds call.
________________________________________
Earth as Alchemist
Sensing the rich earth beneath us.
The great alchemist — that earth, that soil.
Just like the body is the great alchemist.
Resting in the body, resting.
Softening, if you like.
________________________________________
Inner and Outer Unity
Available to the inner, the apparent inner and the apparent outer.
Perhaps sensing their unity.
Resting in the space that extends infinitely…
In a sea of diamonds and pearls.
And a sea of diamonds and pearls within.
Caverns and caves, mountains.
Spaces.
Treasures.
And demons and monsters, sometimes.
Making room for it all, in the whole of this.
________________________________________
Needs and Feelings
Sensing feeling tones here in the body.
They’re telling us we have needs — met and unmet, of course.
For safety, security, rest, space.
For well-being and healing.
For restoration… the emergent life.
Connection, closeness, love.
Intimacy will blossom.
Warmth.
Freedom and ease.
Contentment.
Play and fun.
Learning and growth.
________________________________________
Transformation
And these feelings are rather like leaves.
At some point, they spend themselves.
Turning different colours and shades of themselves.
Into something new.
In presence — transformation.
Into gold.
________________________________________
Closing
Resting here.
