WHAT IS
BIOENERGETIC ANALYSIS (BIOENERGETIC THERAPY) ?
Bioenergetic Analysis,
often called bioenergetic therapy or simply bioenergetics, is a form of
mind/body psychotherapy, founded by Alexander Lowen MD, that examines
personality in terms of the body and its energetic processes. Respiration and
metabolism energize our bodies. Movement and the production of sound are the
ways in which we discharge energy. How much energy we have and how we utilize it
determines our capacity to respond to life situations. The more we are able to
utilize our energy, the more fully we experience and express our selves. This
will bring us a greater sense of well-being, and we will experience the full joy
and pleasure of living.
Thus, the goal of
bioenergetic therapy is to bring about the healthy integration of mind and body
so that we can utilize our energy to discover that greater pleasure and joy in
living.
BIOENERGETIC QUOTE
OF THE MONTH
“Our bodies tell our
stories: where we have been, what we have been encouraged to do and prevented
from doing: what we have attended to or ignored in our daily lives: what we have
learned directly through felt experience: and what we have acquired by way of
education.”
