focusing
Focusing is a self-awareness method that works with bodily sensations, resulting in a deepened state, where your full attention is directed to your body, to how you feel.
It is a form of communication with yourself, a special way of self-reflection that happens via the perception of bodily senses. It teaches you how to turn off your mind and turn on the bodily sensations.
When should you turn to focusing?
If there is some important topic that concerns you, or if you cannot articulate clearly enough what you feel; if you often feel that your thoughts take you away from reality; or if you're constantly experiencing great emotions, but you're somehow stuck: you might want to get to know the very simple
and yet powerful method of focusing.
