Your Body Knows the Answer: Using Your Felt Sense to Solve Problems, Effect Change, and Liberate Creativity

A manual for Mindful Focusing-a new integration of Western psychology and Buddhist mindfulness techniques for accessing your inherent wisdom and solving life's problems Ever come up against one of those moments when life requires a response-and you feel clueless? We all have. But there's good news: you have all the wisdom you need to respond to any situation, even the "impossible" ones. It's a matter of tuning in to your felt sense: that subtle physical sensation that lives somewhere between your conscious and subconscious mind and that can be accessed through Focusing-the well-known method developed by the psychologist Eugene Gendlin. David Rome's technique of Mindful Focusing unites Gendlin's method with Buddhist mindfulness practices to provide a wonderfully effective method for accessing your felt sense-so you can problem solve, deal with challenges, and respond honestly and creatively to the world around you.
