Focusing Journal - Sensations, Posture, Movement

Focusing Journal is a creative process of visual journaling for discovery, self-connection, and support. The practice is different from “regular” journaling: Each session invites exploration and transformation of your felt sense on the page—as colors, lines, words, shapes, or symbols.

We will attend to our bodily experiencing – in the form of sensations, posture, subtleties of movement, stuckness, and so forth.

Following a brief centering practice for breathe and alignment, we will explore postures and gestures that embody self-efficacy and freedom. We will then bring a situation or issue to the blank page--as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Working dialogically between the body and the paper, we will sense into the desired sensation and movement that we need—be it reflex or expansion, grasping or protecting—and connect with fresh meanings. The aim is to bring integration to the Self, and expand our range of responses to the situation.

Each session provides time for solo work, small pair sharing/focusing, and group sharing.
