What is Focus and Flow?

Focus and Flow is an empirically-informed stress management and well-being enhancement approach that incorporates culturally-diverse contemplative and meditative practices, as well as scientifically-grounded behavioral and experiential processes. The approach emerged as an effort to integrate what I have learned from my over 25 years of being a therapist, mentor, teacher, and scholar, as well as from my own life journey and its lessons. The primary goal of the approach is to move from being "stressed out" to "energized within".

The essence of “Focus and Flow” is captured by the saying

"Where your focus goes, your energy flows".

The core idea is also expressed beautifully in this quote on meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh:

“Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting.”

The "Focus and Flow" approach to managing stress and enhancing well-being is about both seeing (FOCUS) and acting (FLOW).

The Bottom Line…

Focus and Flow is about learning to release and let go of the illusions, hype, and drama in order to see the truth of ourselves and our situation.

Focus and Flow is about increasing our conscious awareness by directing our attention in a purposeful way to both internal and external experience.

Focus and Flow strategies draw upon various contemplative and meditative practices reflecting diverse cultural traditions of wisdom, spirituality, and healing.

Focus and Flow is about utilizing the collective wisdom expressed through quotes, sacred passages, music, song lyrics, poetry, and proverbs to trigger the inner voice of our own wisdom and direct our attention and action.

Focus and Flow is about living a full and engaged life that turns our conscious awareness into action.

Focus and Flow is about living life in a way that is values-congruent, liberating, and empowering. Ultimately it is about achieving our highest individual and collective potential and optimizing the time we each are given on this earth through conscious engagement with yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.
