David Rome, an experienced Focusing Trainer and meditator in the USA wrote:
‘As meditators we invest a lot of time and effort in cultivating the mental skills of mindfulness and awareness. The practice of Focusing builds directly on these skills to develop action-oriented intuitive insights into the challenges we encounter “off the cushion.” Using contemplative methods from Western psychology and philosophy, Focusing puts us in touch with the subtle level of experience known as the felt sense, where the non-conceptual wisdom of the body can be unfolded. Focusing is a powerful means for working with problems in personal relationships and work settings and gaining fresh understanding and energy with which to overcome blocks, make wiser decisions and feel more fully alive and authentic’.

Since we are all individual and have a different life history, words too are unique in their meaning.
We use words that are popular within our culture and society. Words that are in trend. However, it may be that when describing our inner experience, these words can block us.
It is therefore important as Gendlin advises, to check inside to see if our description ‘fits’ with our experience.
My thoughts arose from a discussion I had this morning; a woman I have been teaching focusing to, noticed that a word ‘people’ use to describe a sensation she had, didn’t actually ‘fit’ with her experience.
I’d be interested in your comments…
