You can easily change the conditional tag or install the Widget Logic plugin to control where you want to output your widget content.
You can also use this code to add a widget after your content area or after your posts in single posts or all pages of your site.

Add Widget Before Content On Home Page
Add Widget Before Content On Specific Page
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'before-content',
'name' => __( 'Before Content', 'wpsites' ),
'description' => __( 'Content Displays Before Specific Pages Content.', 'wpsites' ),
) );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'wpsites_widget_before_content' );
function wpsites_widget_before_content() {
if ( is_page('007') && is_active_sidebar('before-content') ) {
genesis_widget_area( 'before-content', array(
'before' => '<div class="before-content" class="widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}
}Replace the post/page i.d (007) with your own.

To change the position your widget displays, simply change genesis_before_content in the code to any other hook position.
