I am in the process of condensing a few years hanging out in this field of work into a booklet on shoogling stuckness, This approach is built on shifting the balance and quality of our attention, to give less weight to the word machine of the thinking mind ~ while recognising value in giving attention to the quality of sensation in the centre of the body.

Here, the location, size, shape, colour, texture & aliveness of our 'felt senses'  connect to all the threads of thought, feeling, emotion, dreams, ideas, energy & more attached to any given situation we face. Rebalancing attention while noticing: however we are doing ~ whatever we are doing ~ while we are doing it can help us find our own way to navigate the experiential landscape and create the opportunity for the thinking mind to learn to be proprioceptive.

Our sense of meaning flows . . . just beneath the surface of everyday awareness and just beyond the world of words at the threshold of language. Tapping into this flow of meaning can often be vague & unclear, though the quiet wisdom of the body can can help us sense how we may approach ourselves, others & situations in inner & outer life differently. 

After training in Focusing with Children and Eugene T. Gendlin's  Experiential listening & Focusing, I found there is  common ground with David Bohm's work On Dialogue and the Suspension of Everything. Here, I am emphasising Gene's Clearing a Space with shifts in language, attitude & practice that respect the heart of both these approaches and carry the understanding that we are always in process, while integrating the ability to form clear boundaries and take action in life, sometimes spontaneously. 

There are many connections to:  Qi Kung ~ EFT ~ Feldenkrais & TRE, that will find their way into this wee booklet too.  Letting our nervous system return to a flow state, while reframing experience, can help us shoogling free from rigid patterns of thought, feeling, behavior or any form of stuckness we uncover, that lives between us and being whole.  

                           Our body is always listening through us . . . it's well worth listening back.
