A 2001 article suggests that around that time there were around 80 studies done on Focusing.
Picking up the skill simply by reading the explanation of the official website might require familiarity with the basic concepts that are involved that most people might not have. A few LW people found the Focusing audiobook helpful.
After having done a lot of research into teaching rationality CFAR seems to consider it to be a basic building stone that’s worthwhile to teach.
I personally taught Focusing workshops at the last two European Community Weekends and I think two times to our LessWrong Dojo.
Thanks very much! Yes I wasn’t really expecting to be able to pick up too much from an online explanation, but a bit of context is nice to decide whether to explore further. It sounds like the audiobook would be a good resource after that.
The official website is http://www.focusing.org/index.html . It contains a basic description of the technique and references to various resources.
