The Spirituality of the Body by Alexander Lowen

The Spirituality of the Body by Alexander Lowen

In The Spirituality of the Body, Alexander Lowen provides a unique perspective about the nature of spirituality. Lowen views the body as the outer manifestation of the spirit and defines grace as the divine spirit acting within the body. For the healthy individual the divine spirit is experienced as the natural gracefulness of the body and is reflected in the person's behavior. In a healthy body, movement, feeling, and thinking are integrated in grace and harmony. This book includes body-psychotherapy techniques and exercises aimed at alleviating muscular tension and restoring the body's natural grace. This spiritual grace involves a sense of connectedness to a higher order. In this state of grace we feel a kinship with all living creatures, and recognize our connection to our environment and to the world.

Dr. Alexander Lowen is the developer of bioenergetics, which he defines as a therapeutic practice that helps a person reconnect with his body and enjoy the life of the body to the best extent possible. Dr. Lowen is the executive director of the Institute of Bioenergetic Analysis and practices psychiatry in New York and Connecticut, incorporating direct work on the body into the psychoanalytic process. He is married and lives with his wife and son in New Canaan, Connecticut.
