“For someone deeply trapped in a prison of thought, how good it can feel to meet a mind that hears,
a heart that reassures.
It’s as if listening mind is, in and of itself, an invitation to another mind to listen too. How much it can mean when we accept the invitation and hear the world anew.”

~ From How Can I Help by
Ram Dass and Paul Gorman

Ann recently shared these words on the loss of the founder of Focusing:

"Because of Gene Gendlin and his Focusing process, hundreds of thousands of people around the world are able to give themselves and others the kind of support for emotional healing that otherwise had been found mainly in psychotherapy. Gene developed Focusing as a way that anyone can learn to listen inwardly to the life direction that is found in the body, and he believed in empowering people to do their own emotional healing – themselves, in partnerships, and in communities. So from the very beginning he taught Focusing to anyone who wanted to learn it, and encouraged people to pass it along. From these roots has grown a worldwide grassroots movement of mutual support for positive change based on acceptance and inclusion, and a hopeful vision of what is possible for all living beings."
