Product Description

Dr. Alexander Lowen believes that the key to personal change is contact with the body. This book rests on the idea that joy is a natural state, a positive feeling of the body, possible only through surrender to the body by listening to its wisdom and what it communicates. The book reviews the essentials of bioenergetic therapy in the light of other therapeutic approaches, and teaches how to surrender to joy by using bioenergetic principles. It discusses aggression, disappointment, sexual abuse, the fear of dying and issues of spirituality as it attemps to make joy a more common experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Opened up a huge healing process in my emotions, 28 Feb 2001

By A Customer

Alexander Lowen appears to have studied with the infamous Wilhelm Reich. This book is an innovative approach to the subjects of armoring, muscle tension, emotional suppression and surrendering to bodily impulses. He gives clear exercises for the stimulation of sadness and anger, and opens up the world of bioenergetics for those unfamiliar with it. Brilliant!
