BIOENERGETICS
	Bioenergetics or Bioenergetic Analysis, founded by Alexander Lowen, MD, is based on the premise that there is no fundamental separation between the mind and the body. Stress from many areas of one's life--relationships, family, work, health--produce tension in the body. The body reacts to stress by contracting. Contractions in the muscular system are often the result of carrying unresolved emotional tension. These contractions can have a direct effect on the energy level of the individual, on the capacity for spontaneous and creative self-expression, and on feelings of well-being.
BIOENERGETIC BODYWORK
	Work with the body addresses breathing and chronic muscular tension through a variety of movements, positions, and exercises. Bioenergetic Exercises facilitate change on a deep body level, increasing one’s ability to experience pleasure and contactfulness in living--feeling connected to oneself, to others, and to one’s surroundings.
