Bioenergética, la

Synopsis of Bioenergética, la

Bioenergetics is a revolutionary therapy that combines body and mind work to help people resolve their emotional problems and better understand their potential to enjoy life. The main goal is to increase happiness and satisfaction in daily life, avoiding physical, psychic, and emotional exhaustion. The way the body develops its own energy influences how the person feels, thinks, and acts, since disorders and energy blockages affect both physical and mental health. Chronic muscle tensions are often a consequence of the suppression of certain feelings.

This book, written by Alexander Lowen, a physician and psychotherapist, explores how bioenergetics uses the language of the body to heal the problems of the mind. Lowen studied with Wilhelm Reich and founded the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis.
