Radost - Podvolte se tělu a životu – Lowen Alexander (2016)

Alexander Lowen, the famous student of Wilhelm Reich and founder of bioenergetics, demonstrates in his book how a person can return to the natural state of joy experienced by a small child through exercises that restore vitality to the body and release the energy of suppressed feelings. Lowen used these exercises 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 the clear signals sent by the body and to respond to them, as they are inner expressions of the desire for freedom. This approach restores health and has a range of benefits, such as enhancing the joy of sex and elevating spiritual levels. The book Joy, which culminates a lifetime of work by Alexander Lowen, is a hopeful and transformative guide to one of the pioneering therapies focused on body and mind.
