focussing
Narrowing your attention
Focussing is a British spelling variant of focusing, the present participle of focus.
Both spellings are correct, though focusing with one s predominates in American English and increasingly in British English as well: She was focussing on her breathing.
The doubled s follows older British spelling conventions for verbs ending in a consonant.
