Once you come into this literal body here then you find a space that is much bigger than your literal body.

It’s quite clear that it is not exactly your literal body,

but that is where the entrance is

– G. Gendlin

Our bodily felt intelligence dwells, communicates, and unfolds in all of us in a rich, diverse, and life-bringing way. “Focusing’” is a metaphor for the process of recognising the subtle somatic nature of that intelligence and gradually bringing it into focus, as one might adjust to turn a blurry visual into a clear image. It is a skill of “opening” that vague bodily felt sense into a whole field of intricate details from which new layers of feeling, seeing, understanding, and action emerge. It’s a way of engaging, trusting & expressing that capacity.
