BioenergeticsLowen

Bioenergetics is an approach that works on bodily energy and tension. Developed by Alexander Lowen, this school proposes that emotional tensions are held in the body as muscular blocks and that these can be released through movement and breath. The approach places bodily expression and the flow of energy at the center of the work. Bioenergetics is one of the body-based approaches that carry the mark of Reich's work. This school treats the link between emotion and body through the concept of energy.
