Description
Bioenergetics: A Revolutionary Approach to Healing the Mind and Body. This book introduces a new therapy that uses the language of the body to address emotional, physical, and psychic distress. Dr. Alexander Lowen, the founder of this approach, explains how understanding the body's energetic functions can lead to increased joy and pleasure in everyday life. By releasing chronic muscular tensions, which are caused by suppressed feelings, individuals can restore their potential for living a rich and full life. The book explores common physical ailments such as headaches and lower back pain, showing how they can be overcome by releasing the muscular tension that creates them. Generously illustrated with line drawings of bioenergetic exercises, this book offers a practical and valuable guide to a new form of psychotherapy.
