Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Lamenting the split between mind and body that has scarred Western spiritual life, psychoanalyst Lowen claims that spiritual and physical healing happens in a state of grace, when the ego and the body are harmoniously reunited. Lowen argues that repressed emotions cause muscular tension, more often than not stretching this argument too far. For example, nearsightedness is presented as an emotional rather than a physical condition: "When feeling is expressed through the eyes, vision always improves." Broad generalizations abound, conclusions are drawn on slim evidence, and much of the content is a rehash of Lowen's Bioenergetics . The latter chapters dealing with love, faith, and graciousness are refreshing and insightful, but as a whole this work is recommended only for the most ardent adherents of alternative healing.

Synopsis
Links the western concept of relation to a Supreme Being, the Eastern tradition connecting spirit and breathing, and the bioenergetic connection of psychic peace and free-flowing physical energy.

Alexander Lowen's bioenergetic spirituality
13. Juli 1996
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This latest of Lowen's books revisits the theme he covered
earlier in "Depression and the Body," by with the added
benefit of many more years of therapeutic practice. This book
is another small miracle for those interested in the life
and emotions of the human body -- I have begun to follow
the exercises Lowen recommends, with very positive results.
The only drawback of the book is the deep sadness reading
it engendered -- the sadness in realizing just how much
of the precious life given us is lost or suppressed. You
will come away from this book with new eyes (albeit sad
ones) for modern society and its manic pace.
In terms of a physiological spirituality, Lowen takes time
to look at bodily grace in spiritual terms. This is a form
of "faith" that even atheistic athletes can appreciate,
because it is so well grounded.
The book proceeds by examining some of the body metaphors
that we use in our culture (eg., "The eyes are the windows
to the soul."), and expanding upon the kernel of truth that
is found there. So, this book is also about language, how
we use it, and what it means.
I highly recommend this book, as well as the other Lowen
books, for anyone interested in the mind-body link, the
meaning of psychological and physiological well-being,
and the role of spirituality and faith in maintaining
health and vitality.

The greatest book from Alexander Lowen.
26. Oktober 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
All of Lowen's books are a MUST for anyone interested in health, freedom and emotional vitality, but The Spirtualiity of the Body is for me his greatest. I consider it one of the most important books of the 20th century. This may sound overblown, but if you really understand this book it will transform your life. It offers real solutions to a deteriorating society. Lowen's writing style reaches its most beautiful level of clarity and cleanness in this wonderful addition to his amazing series of books.
Again Lowen Makes Sense of Human Striving
22. Februar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the least ground-breaking of Lowen's books, but it is not repetitious. Like all of his writings, this one is amazing in it's clarity and it's ability to re-illustrate points made previously so that understanding is deepened. Some people have and do criticize Lowen's body- and drive-oriented approach as too animalistic, leaving no room for the spiritual. I think he wrote this book to respond, and his point of view is that an over-emphasis on ideals and immaterial concepts is the mark of a broken spirit! If one is looking for books about spirituality rather than specifically Lowen's books, than this one has to stand apart from the typical fare I think. To grow, evolve, and develop grace, Lowen's work is a great place to start.
