Her works include The Power of Focusing (1996) and The Radical Acceptance of Everything (2005).} She received her undergraduate education at Shimer College, and her graduate education at the University of Chicago, where in the course of pursuing her Ph.D. in linguistics she became involved with Eugene Gendlin's work on focusing. In the 1980s she co-facilitated many workshops with Gendlin and rose to prominence as a teacher of focusing. In keeping with her doctoral specialization, Cornell is particularly known for her work on the language of focusing. (from Shimer College Wiki)

An intriguing aspect of Focusing is that it is not a skill or therapeutic technique. Perhaps it's like listening to the body/mind. Body-oriented self-awareness in a conversational way, interior. And Cornell teaches it like it is a "birthright". Everyone. Exactly.
"The gift of the body is that it is always in present time, always here." Listen to the inner sense of rightness. [9]
