Bioenergetics
This form of body therapy is a well known way to bring back aliveness and red essence to the body. It is connected to Reichian therapy but further refined by Alexander Lowen.
It is defined in the following way:
Bioenergetic Analysis helps to release chronic muscular tensions, manage affects, expand the capacity for intimacy, heal sexual difficulties and learn new, more fulfilling ways of relating to others.
