Stagnant and sterile: Stuck!<\/p><\/div>\n

The psyche, like Yellowstone Park, is a seething cauldron, brewing and steaming, shrouded in mist, ever ready to throw up a bubble or a blast of something new, and capable of deep change, techtonic shifts.<\/p>\n

Intuitive Focusing<\/a>, based upon Eugene Gendlin’s six-step Focusing Process (Focusing\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>www.focusing.org<\/a> ) is a simple, predictable self-help method for “sitting with” the mist, the bubbling, the cauldron, and finding words and images which\u00a0bring the depths into consciousness.\u00a0\u00a0Undercurrents\u00a0 can become “techtonic shifts,” Instant “Ahah!”s of creativity, emotional problem solving, innovation, spirituality.<\/p>\n

The PRISMS\/S Problem Solving Process<\/a>\u00a0begins with the pregnant Pause and uses Intuitive Focusing to find words and images which lead to paradigm shifts.<\/p>\n

The Creative Edge Focusing Pyramid <\/a>of applications allows use of Intuitive Focusing at home and at work, \u00a0alone, in partnerships, in groups\/teams, for interpersonal conflict resolution, for Creative Edge Meetings, and Creative Edge Organizations.<\/p>\n
