Read MoreI have just come back from the wonderful 1st European Focusing Conference in Loutraki, Greece.

A key to successful Focusing is to develop a positive inner relationship with yourself... I remember when I first learned Focusing, I used to get cross about the injunction to be friendly with myself.

The most important thing about Focusing is to trust the process of the implicit unfolding of the wisdom of the body. Sometimes it can be all too easy to rush ahead and want to fix things before they have had time to be fully heard, received and acknowledged.
Read MoreIf you take a moment now, you can notice how you experience 'limitation' in your life.
How often do you experience life as difficult? Sometimes it feels like we are beset by limitations, struggling against adversity and limitation. Or do you feel like your life is filled with a sense of possibility? And is a sense of limitation ever a blessing?
Read MoreUncontrolled expression of anger can be harmful. So what can we do about it?
Many of us have been brought up to believe that anger is not allowed. During childhood, anger was never given the space to express itself. We were taught to control our anger, and for very good reasons... I remember only too well when I have had an outburst of anger towards a person.
