The idea that there is a physical component to every psychological problem has always intigued me, and I had previously read a number of Alexander Lowen's books, and found them fascinating. Recently, I became very depressed over something in my life, a failure on my part to achieve something which on the surface level I could say to myself it's understandable, but beneath the surface I was judging myself very harshly. I went into therapy and also bought a number of self help / psychology books, nothing seemed to help much. I was having some pretty extreme physical tensions, and I remembered about Lowen and Bioenergetics. So I got this book, and what I can say is that doing some of the exercises in the book, in particular some of the exercises dealing with expressing anger, helped considerably. And it helped where the normal self help books did nothing. If you are having difficulty in your life and you find yourself interested in this approach, I recommend this book. It certainly won't cost you much and you might be surprised at it's impact.

This book was very helpful in grounding through one's body. The instructions are simple and images easy to follow. The effects were felt almost immediately as a feeling of relaxation and pleasure in both body and mind.

One thing about Alexander Lowen's ideas of feeling better, is that they can seem unusual. That is because the average person today is so disconnected to real feeling that we cannot recognize the sense (pun intended) in which he talks about feeling, desire, grounding etc. The only way to come to know it is to work the body. Not work the body to make it greater for the ego but to become comfortable in our own skin. This book is a generous gift of such exercises worked out by decades of trial and err. Just do some. Your feeling will increase. What you do with that greater, more real feeling is the subject of his other books.

The Way to Vibrant Health, now in its third printing, represents over 20 years of Bioenergetic Psychotherapeutic practice. Exercises designed to reduce tension and promote natural breathing will help you become more in touch with your feelings and emotions.

Bioenergetic exercises help you:
-Breath in a complete respiratory wave with total body action
-Break unconscious holding patterns that disrupt natural breathing
-Release blocked feelings and emotions and reduce muscular tension
