Recommended if you haven't already have gone through much psychodynamic or cognitive work already. I'm not particularly sold on either being more correct, so I tend to combine the practices in this book with some Bioenergetic poses. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.

Of course the breathing changes the status of the ions in one's blood and interstitial fluids and that probably accounts for so called subtle energy experiences. I'm not saying that they don't exist, only that somatic therapies have a tendency to go to abstract energies and spiritualities way too easily and underscore their credibility. Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. The book itself is huge with many bodily techniques. The majority of western somatic books out there speak abstractly about bodywork but usually only give you hints on how to actually do it.

The pioneering therapist Wilhelm Reich developed these techniques in the early 20th century. He is commonly considered to be the grandfather of all deep emotional release forms of bodywork now practiced by medical doctors, chiropractors, and therapists around the world.

He is commonly considered to be the grandfather of all deep emotional release forms of bodywork now practised by medical doctors, chiropractors, and therapists around the world. On the downside of this book, the author, although wants to help the reader let go of control, emphasizes doing these techniques in an almost anal retentive fashion. Compare to Dr. Lowen's work, where his techniques are more fluid and do not have to be practiced perfectly. This author also emphasizes going extremely slowly and systematically through the body segments and spending a long time with each technique.

He practiced as a psychotherapist for over 35 years and was a passionate individualist and limited government libertarian.

Overall, highly recommended for anyone interested in a secular wisdom path or who wants to supplement contemplative work or therapeutic work. Just be aware that this is not the only way to go about this type of somatic self-therapy. The last section of the book is an excellent part on summing up much of neo-analytic thought.

Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse, Second Edition: A How-To Guide for Evidence-Based Practice (Revised)

Most refer you to a bodyworker if you are lucky enough to have any close and have the money to pay for it. I picked this book up when I heard somewhere that Reichian breathing is more efficient at releasing and contacting kundalini energies than kundalini yoga. So I was set off on a path of figuring out how to practice western somatic and breathwork.

An enormous amount of time and energy is spent suppressing these instincts, especially during childhood and traumatic events. A most effective way to free blocked energies is through the breathing and movement techniques of Reichian therapy. Individual Reichian breathwork sessions are taught in this practical book.

Have no fear -- whatever appears is the result of past activity, signifying nothing in particular. Practice non-judgmental awareness and all shall be well. Having studied and practiced qigong and yoga for years I found this type of work is a completely different animal than the eastern and traditional body practices. Bruce Frantzis characterizes fire and water methods of body/breath/movement work. Reichian work could be characterized as a boiling water method.

This book teaches us to achieve our full potential, heal emotional wounds, and to create greater self-esteem and a stronger sense of well-being. Explore techniques developed by Wilhelm Reich to dissolve pent-up tensions, which he called armouring. Learn to loosen and dissolve the armouring to allow for the removal of tensions and the creation of new links between the body and mind.

Congratulations! We have received your book review.

Learn to release hidden anger and frustrations, and become instantly happier and healthier. Enjoy natural vitality and superior sexuality through the breathing, movement and sound techniques of Reichian therapy and breathwork. Explore techniques developed by Wilhelm Reich to dissolve pent-up tensions, which he called armoring. Learn to loosen and dissolve the armoring to allow for the removal of tensions and the creation of new links between the body and mind. People learn to hold back basic needs and feelings which they have been taught to be inappropriate.

Profound, effective exercises for psychological and actual personality change. Dr. Willis seems a bit draconian at times, especially concerning his exhortation to "do what he says" but this is understandable considering the profundity of the practices. With an established meditation practice, these teachings are incredibly useful. Read the whole book through, do the morning exercises and practice the breathing once a week.

Instead of tradition and mystical tantric practices, these western methods have not BS and get straight to the point. Some have said that body armor work is a first step before doing the supposedly deeper spiritual work of qigong and yoga. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. A book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears.
