I should get around to writing about it one of these days.<br /><br />In the mean time, my suggestion is to read Gendlin's book "Focusing", get a grasp of what the "felt sense" is, and do your self improvement by introspecting on what's going on at that level and making whatever changes you need.jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321898801267236687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340549211625160136.post-5251181062963863872013-10-24T06:26:48.984-07:002013-10-24T06:26:48.984-07:00I got into meditation for relieving anxiety, espec...I got into meditation for relieving anxiety, especially in social situations, and also to increase focus, I expected it to be something of a general self improvement tool.

Any resources you can suggest on how I can do this to myself? Or do I need the assistance of a hypnotist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
