Nervous System Reset Amona Buechler, Focusing Trainer
December 2022 through February 2023

You might be very familiar with a habitual background atmosphere of restlessness, anxiousness, agitation, or something like that.
At times when this happens, you might know that this inner activation is counter-productive and out of place somehow, but how to find your way to a more relaxed, easy-going state of being?

After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or challenging emotional incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns that challenge our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential.
We can reprogram our autonomic nervous system and brain, and with that our physical and emotional responses to life’s happenings.

Originally scheduled for November 14, now December Have you ever wondered where Focusing ends and meditation begins (or vice versa)? Do you struggle to meditate consistently? Is your meditation difficult to enjoy – or not quite as delicious as you wish? As a long-term meditator and Focuser (and teacher of both), Elizabeth is fascinated by the processes which take us on our inner journeys. Her approach is flexible and inclusive, in a nutshell, uncovering ways to “meditate as you can, not as you can’t”.

Elizabeth also weaves creativity into her meditation. She draws on poetry and colour to help you plunge happily into your inner world. Her recent book “Journeys to the Deep: A Gentle Guide to Mindfulness Meditation” illustrates this approach. Taking time to reflect and muse

This class is intended for anyone interested in merging Focusing with their other bodies of knowledge, for those who are looking for a way to communicate their way of being with clients and clarify the "unique product" they offer, creating your "niche" as an accompanier. Or simply anyone who is feeling the need to mold something out of everything you know and learned, and being able to bring it to the world.

In this Highlight webinar, Daphna will share her discoveries, the tools she developed during her process of merging all her bodies of knowledge into one whole self, how Focusing is a part of this process and  amongst the tools she now uses when accompanying her clients. She is looking forward to sharing the door that opened to an amazing creative

Marta Fabregat - TIFI Coordinator
No es fácil recordar nuestra capacidad innata de sentir la vida en cada momento, de encontrarnos con partes de nosotros y esas partes que se despiertan en contacto con el entorno y otras personas.
A menudo, estas facetas de nosotros están tan arraigadas en nuestra experiencia que sentimos que esto es lo que somos. Desde allí vivimos la mayor parte del tiempo, con algo allí dentro de nosotros que está en el transfondo de la experiencia, por lo que, en cierto modo, están en gran medida donde se forma la experiencia de la vida.
Focusing puede ayudarte a sanar y a tener una relación amistosa con tus partes más difíciles y complejas para una evolución progresiva dentro de ti.
En este monográfico nos adenatramos en como acompañar y hacernos amigos de nuestra parte crítica.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Are there things you need to do, or want to do, but you just don’t do them?

Whether you’re struggling to exercise, change your eating habits, can’t seem to make time for self-care, long to pursue a dream but can’t get any traction, or have another sort of stuck action, we’d love to show you how to work with what’s blocking you so you can move forward.

You’ll also discover how to break free from motivation styles based on being hard on yourself so you can move forward with kindness and self-compassion!

Amona Buechler Focusing Trainer Focusing for developing emotional intelligence
Introduction to Focusing and my Basic Focusing Skills Course

Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.
Focusing offers a way for coming into loving contact with yourself and others. When you are in contact with your body, with your inner sense of something, letting your expressions arise from there, you are accessing insights that are much deeper and vaster than the emotional or mental dimensions alone can offer.
With this foundation, the way in which your life unfolds is experienced as deeply meaningful; sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s difficult, but there is always an undercurrent sense of rightness, of following a natural flow.

Tere González, Certified Focusing Professional
“Lo que se divide, no se siente, permanece igual. Cuando se siente, cambia.
¡La mayoría de la gente no sabe esto! Piensan que al no permitir el sentimiento de sus formas negativas se hacen buenos. Por el contrario, eso mantiene estas partes negativas estáticas, lo mismo de año en año. Unos momentos de sentirlo en el cuerpo le permiten cambiar. Si hay en ti algo malo, enfermo o poco sólido, déjalo estar internamente y respira. Esa es la única forma en que puede evolucionar y cambiar a la forma que necesita”
