The Voice of the Body

by Alexander Lowen

The Voice of the Body traces the development of the life changing concepts of Biognergetic Analysis. In · Stress and a Bioenergetic View· Lowen outlines a theory of illness applicable to what has conventionally been seen as either physical or mental diseases, demonstrating the inadequacies of a mind-body dualism. · The Rhythm of Life· explores pleasure in relationship to the body. In · Breathing, Movement and Feeling,· Lowen takes this notion of rhythm further through focusing on breathing and movement. · New Developments in Bioenergetic Therapy· emphasizes how self-expression is fundamentally movement. In · Thinking and the Bioenergetic Analysis of Thought,· Lowen explores the role of thought in relationship to emotions, including its adaptive function and its capacity for being distorted as a defense mechanism. · Sex and Personality· presents a view of sexuality related to human evolution that ultimately is essential in overcoming the sense of isolation and loneliness incumbent with individuation. In · The Will to Live and the Wish to Die,· Lowen theorizes how both concepts can pose resistances prohibiting fulfillment in life. Lowen develops the theme of life and death struggles further in · the face of Unreality and Self-Expression vs. Survival.· In · Aggression and Violence in the Individual,· Lowen explores distinctions between aggression and both violence and cruelty. Finally, · Psychopathic Behavior and the Psychopathic Personality· theorizes about the role of power and control in relationship to empty, frustrating and self-defeating lifestyles.

About the author

Alexander Lowen (1910–2008) was an American physician and psychotherapist. The story of his life is a story of how he honored the body and healed his mind-body split. It is also the story of how, along the way, he helped mankind.

During his lifetime, Lowen earned four college degrees: his Bachelor of Science; his Bachelor of Law (L.L.B); his Doctor of Sciences of Law (J.S.D.); and his medical Degree (M.D.). He developed Wilhelm Reich's beliefs into Bioenergetic Analysis and created a large and viable organization, the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis (IIBA) to sustain and promote his therapeutic approach. The IIBA now has over 1500 members and 54 training institutes worldwide. Bioenergetic Analysis is now practiced not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and other countries.

Dr. Lowen has authored 14 books (translated to as many as eight different languages, collectively) as well as numerous articles and other professional publications. He also has presented his ideas in untold numbers of interviews, on video and audio tapes, and lectures worldwide. The establishment of the Journal for Bioenergetic Analysis gave him much satisfaction since it provides an ongoing forum for examining and furthering the ideas he pioneered. When asked during an interview in 2004 what has given him the most meaning in life, he responds without hesitation, feeling the pleasure and life of the body.

My highlights:

Being free is more important than being rich, and that the present is always more important than the future.

Life changes can be very stressful, not only because of the emotions they evoke but largely because they demand an increased output of energy to cope with the new situation.

Chronic muscular tension is like a straight-jacket which limits a person's respiration and reduces his energy. At the same time he is under a cultural pressure to achieve some goal that would gain him the love he needs. Thus the person is not only restricted in his energy production but he is also subject to additional demands requiring the expenditure of energy.

we are slaves to an economic system that promises fulfillment but delivers frustration. The more progress we make up the economic ladder the less freedom we have and without freedom, there is no joy. We can be fulfilled as human beings only when our lives are rooted in our bodies, our animal nature and the earth.


For a great many people, the achievement of goals becomes the meaning of life. No sooner is one objective realized than another is proposed.

We pride ourselves on our drive not realizing that every push requires the activation of the sympathetic-adrenal system.

As adults, we have many inhibitions against crying. We feel it is an expression of weakness, or femininity or of childishness. The person who is afraid to cry is afraid of pleasure. This is because the person who is afraid to cry holds himself together rigidly so that he won't cry; that is, the rigid person is as afraid of pleasure as he is afraid to cry.

It is a grave injustice to a child or adult to insist that they stop crying. One can comfort a person who is crying which enables him to relax and makes further crying unnecessary; but to humiliate a crying child is to increase his pain, and augment his rigidity.
Nature has provided this helpless organism with a means of reducing the destructive tensions that arise from situations with which it cannot cope.


Most people are poor breathers. Their breathing is shallow and they have a strong tendency to hold their breath in any situation of stress.
Why do so many people have difficulty in breathing fully and easily? The answer is that breathing creates feelings and people are afraid to feel. They are afraid to feel their sadness, their anger and their fear.

All animals stretch upon arising and this exercise is a most effective form of stretching.
The body is naturally expressive; it is constantly changing to reflect its inner feelings. In this respect, it is like a flame which is never the same at any two moments. While a body is more structured than a flame, it is not as rigid as a machine. It has a fluid quality and responds to the play of the inner forces.

On the other hand, a body that shakes too violently is similar to a car whose spark plugs are fouled, valves corroded and bearings dry. As these bugs are ironed out in a car its vibration becomes a purr. When the body of a human being purrs, it has an animal's freedom of movement.

What we call self-confidence is the awareness by an individual that he can express himself fully and freely in any situation by appropriate and graceful movements.

It is an axiom of bioenergetic analysis that a person can only feel his body. One cannot feel the environment except through its effect upon the body. In reality, then, one feels how one's body reacts to the environment or to external objects and the perception of this feeling is projected upon the stimulus.


Every person knows that he has legs, buttocks, back and shoulders, but he doesn't feel them as alive parts of his body. He cannot tell whether his legs are relaxed or contracted, whether his buttocks are retracted or tucked forward,

Only to the degree that you are aware of yourself are you aware of others, and only to the extent that you feel yourself as a person can you feel for another person.


Self-awareness or the sense of identity is dependent on the ability to say “No!” The assertion of the No demarcates the individual from his environment and asserts his individuality, vis a vis others. The person who can say “no” can say “yes.”

For more than two thousand years man has striven to suppress his animal nature, to curb his instincts and to control his feelings. He has developed a civilization whose technological achievements are a tribute to the power of his mind. But in the process he has undermined his identity and lost his sense of self.


Breathing is a valid yardstick to gauge the energy level of a person. In general, if the breathing is shallow, the energy level is low. Deeper breathing goes hand in hand with more energy. It is common experience that increasing the draft of a fire raises the intensity of the fire and produces more energy. Get a patient to breathe thoracically, diaphragmatically and abdominally so that the respiratory wave moves through the body from head to foot.

One cannot have a vibrant personality in a body that doesn't vibrate.

Movements which are directed downwards are discharging or releasing actions. In this category are such expressive acts as crying, laughing, sex, kicking and running. Normally, the two processes are equal. We can discharge only as much as we have taken in, or charge up only as much as we can discharge. By working with breathing we can raise the level of charge, and therefore, of discharge.
Continued work with kicking loosens the body, deepens its breathing and integrates its parts.
Almost every feeling that a person is capable of experiencing can be expressed through the eyes.

When one's eyes meet those of another person, one actually gets a sensation of physical contact.

Several patients have commented that after working strongly with their legs, their vision improved to the extent that objects in the room seemed clearer and brighter.


The degree of emotional health can be measured by the amount and range of feeling the eyes can express. Certainly no one can be considered emotionally healthy who cannot make or sustain a feeling eye contact with another person.

Thinking may be defined as the process of making connections between our feelings and the picture we have in our minds of our environment.

If one can only speak the truth, one lacks a choice and without the choice, consciousness of one's behavior is reduced and control is limited.

The ability to mask one's moves and deceive the opponent is often critical to success. The smoothness of a feint which misleads an opponent is the mark of a master not only in the realm of physical combat but in all situations of opposition. In the game of chess or cards, the proper use of deceit may be the difference between victory and defeat. The hunter, whether human or animal, is stealthy. In all such situations, the ability to use deceit is an important asset.

We all know that the life style of modern society creates enormous stress for its members. The demands upon them are great and, often, excessive. These demands are, broadly speaking, to produce, to achieve, and to accomplish. The goals are success, power and fame.

superego formation and they are the somatic correlates of introjected parental commands and injunctions. Thus, the injunction, “Don't raise your hand to your parent,” can become structured in the body as chronic muscular tensions in the shoulder which effectively prevent the person from fully raising his arm.
Chronic muscular tension is like a straight-jacket which limits a person's respiration and reduces his energy. At the same time he is under a cultural pressure to achieve some goal that would gain him the love he needs. Thus the person is not only restricted in his energy production but he is also subject to additional demands requiring the expenditure of energy.

It helps overcome the tendency to round the shoulders and hunch forward which is found in most people.

Inhibited biting impulses lead to jaw tensions, inhibited kicking impulses to leg tensions.
A jaw tension may represent the conflict between an impulse to bite and the fear that such action would lead to punitive measures by the parent.

The wide-eyed look that is typical of myopia is an expression of fear. Yet the individual does not feel any fear nor is he aware of any connection between his eyes and that emotion.
I ask the patient who is lying on the bed to hold his open hands about eight inches above his face. He is then directed to open his eyes as wide as possible and to drop his jaw. In this position, the patient assumes an expression of fright. Few, if any, patients feel afraid because the feeling of fear has been blocked. I then ask the patient to look directly into my eyes which are about a foot above his own and I press down firmly with my thumbs on both sides of his nose. This pressure further opens the eyes and prevents the patient from smiling. It removes the mask from the patient's face. If the procedure is done correctly, it will often elicit a scream of fear as the fear wells up in the patient's eyes. When the scream subsides, I remove the pressure, and while the patient is still looking into my eyes, his own become relaxed, their color deepens, tears well up and understanding passes between us.
Much more work would have to be done with the eyes, a la the Bates method, for example, to achieve this result.
The degree of emotional health can be measured by the amount and range of feeling the eyes can express. Certainly no one can be considered emotionally healthy who cannot make or sustain a feeling eye contact with another person.

In all such situations, the ability to use deceit is an important asset.
Thinking can never be divorced from feeling. Since everything a person does is determined by his desire for pleasure and his fear of pain, no act can be entirely unbiased, no action can be without some personal interest. It follows logically that every thought is related to a feeling and will either support the feeling or oppose it according to the characterological attitude of the individual.
Progress in the acquisition of knowledge depends on the questioning and denial of established concepts. No forward move in thinking can be made without transcending and, therefore, changing a previous formulation.
These achievements were possible because these men had a mind of their own and the courage to say “No.”
Once the validity of feeling as a guide to behavior is undermined, a child can be taught anything. He is generally taught that his superiors have all the answers and that he is to look to them for direction. He becomes an “outer-directed” person, marked by facile enthusiasms and influenced by all the popular fashions.
Longing or the desire for closeness is experienced as a flow of excitation along the front of the body which charges the mouth, lips and arms. It is the feeling that would make a child or infant reach out to its mother for contact and to nurse. The fulfillment of that desire in a child leads to bliss; but if the oral needs of the child are not satisfied, the longing persists into adulthood as an aching pain in the chest and throat.
The idea that disease and culture are related is expressed by Henry E. Sigerist. He says, “In every epoch certain diseases are in the foreground and…are characteristic of this epoch and fit into its whole structure.”

The Voice of the body is a phenomenal piece of work exploring the language of the body.

We know that non verbal language in communication is more telling than verbal language. Or as Ekman and Friesen (1969) called them "leakages".
Lowen has built a new dimension, a new dialect of understanding the body through psychotherapy. He's not only shed light on something deep and fundamental but also widened the scope of what we can learn about life itself. The universal, the corporeal and eternal.

If non-verbal communication is the color in a painting, Lowen's work on the body is the discovery of a hidden painting in the existing one.

Rhythm of life is by far one of my favourite lectures. He has beautifully integrated the functions of the body in relation to nature, sound and movement. I was moved by every second line in this lecture. The chapter embodies what it aims to deliver to the reader. Lowen is both a poet and a psychotherapist here. He explains the way of the body through art and science, showing us that they are inextricably bound. One cannot exist without the other.

Finally, his chapter on sex and personality is outdated and one dimensional. I was shocked by his uncharacteristic approach. It lacked the openness and breadth in which Lowen approaches other themes in both Fear of Life and the rest of his lectures in this book.

Letto,ma mi astengo dal votare perchè a dire il vero non ci ho capito molto. Non ho fatto studi di psicologia che possano supportarmi e molte volte mi sono ritrovata a chiedermi che cosa volesse dire 'di preciso' l'autore con un determinato termine. Comunque intendo approfondire l'opera di Lowen perchè il linguaggio del corpo è un argomento che mi appassiona moltissimo.

I was hoping to learn something about bioenergetic therapy and thought this would be a great place to start. The first chapters of this book give good information on emotional stress and how it affects the body, the importance of proper breathing and movement, feelings, and self-expression. My only problem with the book is its outdated information on human sexuality as I found the chapter on male and female sexuality was cringeworthy. Lowen makes some statements such as "the clitoral orgasm is not a true orgasm", the woman "can only function as a woman to a man if she also functions as his home and as the mother of his children", women give up their womanhood and lose their sexuality if they abandon breast feeding because it results in "unfulfilled oral longing" in their infants. He states "If our men are inadequate as men, it is fundamentally because they have not been fulfilled as babies." (since they weren't breast fed) Nothing said about female infants who are not breast fed nor why a bottle somehow is inadequate to "fulfill oral longing". Also, Lowen must find nothing wrong with physical violence against women as he tells a female patient that if he were her husband, he would have beaten her up. This from a therapist?

I had been wanting to read this book for a while and it was highly recommended by someone on YouTube, but frankly, I don't see how it gets so many 4 and 5 star reviews. After I purchased the book, I discovered that Lowen was a student of Wilhelm Reich, a psychologist who claimed that all mental illness could be cured by orgasm. I did some research on Reich and was astounded by what I read. I think he must have been exposed to way too much as a child.

I also noticed that reviewers who gave the book 1 to 3 stars didn't bother to write a review. I would be interested in their thoughts on this book. Maybe The Voice of the Body was not the best first book of his to read because now I am reluctant to read any more of Lowen's other books.

[Ron · Rating 5 out of 5]

The underlying paradigm of Bioenergertic Analysis and Therapy views us (body and self) as expressions of life and life as movement and rhythm. Rhythm means pleasure, and the loss of rhythm and movement means pain. This might be oversimplified, but Alexander Lowen uses such basic concepts to investigate the relationship betwenn our bodies and inner life, our inner life and our environment and relays the experiences he has had with varying manifestations of illness.
I cannot speak to the view of modern psychology on his theory, but to me it seemed to be a reasonable and practical view on how to understand how health problems arise and come to manifest, why they have the qualities that they have and how you could possibly treat them.
I come out of the reading experience believing that i have been more broadly afflicted than i had previously realized. It gave me some indications as to what might have happened in my early childhood and teenage years, areas to work on and some immediate results.
There are often complex dynamics at hand in the formation of these life disturbances. But sometimes, some simple observations can help you deduce what mannerisms you should let go of. A theme in this book is paying attention to where your muscles are tight and/or weak, which emotions are dominant and which are missing in your life, and then ask: what are their uses? Why did I sacrifice the motility in a particular area of my body in the past and how do i regain it? Which defense-mechanisms no longer serve me and what abilities have i been sacrificing all this time?
I believe that everyone who is not healthy has something to gain by reading this collection of lectures, since it is simple to understand and covers a wide variety of ailments and illnesses.

Fantastisch boek! Voor de meeste hoofdstukken zou ik het vijf sterren geven maar er zijn er enkele tussen die mij niet bevielen (seksualiteit en psychopathie). Ik heb het gelezen in het Engels waardoor het bij mij altijd wat trager en moeizamer gaat maar het was echt de moeite om het uit te lezen.

Zijn kijk op het lichaam en de relatie met de psyche is zo verrijkend. Doorheen de weken dat ik dit boek las heb ik meer aandacht voor mijn ademhaling en ben ik meer bewust van mijn eigen postuur en die van mensen in mijn omgeving. Trillen en gekke fysieke sensaties kan ik veel beter plaatsen.

Er zijn veel uitspraken in het boek waarvan ik niet goed weet of ze waar zijn of niet. Desondanks vond ik zijn perspectief verrijkend genoeg om daar toch waarde uit te halen. Zijn aandacht voor een zielsvervullend leven en kritiek op de algemene conventie kon ik absoluut smaken. Daarnaast zijn er heel veel zaken die mij gewoon inzichtelijk met keer op keer versteld deden staan. Het boek staat vol met fluo aangeduid.

Praktisch weet ik nog niet heel goed wat hiermee te doen. Er is vooral de goesting aangewakkerd om een boek vast te pakken met bio-energetische oefeningen en deze eens uit te proberen. Ook met de ademhaling zou ik graag verder op werken.

There's a novelty in reading kooky old psychology theories - a lot of stuff in here is very silly, and some of it is shockingly offensive. But in a world where we've been conditioned to immediately put sources into bins of 'correct' and 'incorrect', it's a useful exercise to consume media that contains both nonsense and genuine insight. The act of reading something like this is the act of training myself to take each idea at face value, and consider its truthfulness piece by piece. I think in 2024, most ideas and people and authorities have become so tribalized that half the labor in consuming media is finding out which broad ideological camp the creators belong to.

In that sense, it's oddly liberating to read the ravings of some dude who says he cured his patient's childhood traumas by pressing on their noses and having them kick on a bed repeatedly (looooool). This book is a mess, though. It's a bunch of lectures over the course of 20 years which often repeat information and reference works from the author that the reader doesn't have access to. Womp womp! But seriously there are a few bars in here, he was cooking at some points

[Leonardo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great overview on the origins and healings of psychological disorders with relation to the body. The book provides very thorough and thought-provoking commentaries on the psychosomatics of character structure; how psychological states are expressed in the body through demeanour, facial expressions, and various hang-ups. Lowen is analytical and scientific, yet also spiritual, in a space where it's often easy to run into superficial and wishy washy ideas. Only problem was in the chapter on sexuality which seemed outdated and wrong, with problematic ideas. If one ignores that chapter, the book really teaches a lot.

[Alex Holst · Rating 3 out of 5]

Low lows. High highs.

Though I instinctively believe in the enormous mind-body connection, I was left without much justification for it.

Apart from that, if you take its word while still holding a degree of emotional distance to the words, it’s insanely informative.

Even if not justified the way I would've appreciated, I felt connected on an almost animalistic way. It just made sense instinctively.
