Joy

Alexander Lowen, famous disciple of Wilhelm Reich and founder of bioenergetics, shows in his book, how one can return to one's natural state of joy, that a small child experiences, through exercise, that restore vitality to the body and release the energy of repressed feelings. Lowen used them for four decades in his clinical practice to show how emotional experiences - from sexual abuse to anger and all the other painful things people experience in life - manifest as physical symptoms. He further advises readers to perceive and respond to the clear signals the body sends, as these are inner expressions of the desire for freedom. This approach restores health and has many benefits, such as enhancing the pleasure of sex and raising the spiritual level. The culmination of Alexander Lowen's life's work, Joy is a hopeful and transformative guide to one of the pioneering mind-body therapies.
