The Dimension Approach is a framework for understanding how 'conscious attentional focusing' acts as an agent of change in the practices of awakening, healing, development, and performance. The theory of the Dimension Approach is that mental, emotional, and physical health is dependent upon healthy patterning of attentional focus. Conversely, mental, emotional, and physical health is compromised by unhealthy patterning of attentional focus.
​
Attentional patterning refers to how one is orienting (where one is being aware 'from'), anchoring (what one is 'tracking' as the primary object of attention), and identifying (what is one referencing as 'self'). In any and all experiences, these three parameters occur. Another way of saying this is; aware 'from', aware 'of', and aware 'as'.
Typically, one does not consciously decide this, but rather defaults, for better or for worse, to one's unconscious patterning. Attentional patterning is conditioned by one's interactions with their environment. Such patterning is largely unconscious, determined by experience over time, and assumed by the ego mind to be not only the correct patterning, but the only patterning.
As such, attention to one's own patterning is disruptive to the ego, but is potentially a powerful agent of change in the direction of awakening, healing, developing, and improving performance. The Dimension Approach methodology involves the focus of conscious attention in five specific ways. These specific modes of conscious attention are applied to varying dimensions of the psyche in order to facilitate specific types of change.
----------------------------
The Dimension Approach proposes a dynamic model of consciousness in which consciousness is simultaneously transcendent, embodied, and relational. Modes of conscious attending underlie all of human experience. Conscious attending profoundly affects how we experience ourselves, how we experience others, and how we experience our lives. Conscious modes are modes of relating that awaken, heal, nourish, and enhance our bodies, minds, and souls.
These modes are implicit in most spiritual approaches. They underlie most therapeutic methodologies. They are part and parcel of most healing modalities, and they are the desired end of most performance enhancement techniques. Whether applied directly or integrated into another practice, the Dimension Approach model provides a way of understanding and tracking the role of conscious attention in all that we are, know, and do.

Basic Assumptions of the Dimension Approach
Principle Ideas of the Dimension Approach
​
Conscious attention to the patterns that restrict. That is the technique. That is the method. That is the cure. Your gifts and talents await liberation from your beliefs, your defenses, your wounds. It’s your body, it’s your mind, reclaim them with your consciousness.
Life deals us blows that traumatize us and leave us disconnected. Healing the splits of trauma is no easy task. It requires facing that which our ego is designed to evade. It requires relating where we said we never again would.
It’s your journey. You are the healer. You are the cure. Conscious attention to the split, heals the split. Conscious attention to the energy, beliefs, and feelings, heals the mind. Conscious attention to the body, heals the body.
