Bioenergetics Therapy
Bioenergetics was founded by Alexander Lowen, a disciple of the psychiatrist Wilhem Reich and a contemporary of Freud. Pioneer in the Western world connecting body and emotions, working with orgasmic reflex and sexual energy.
Bioenergetics therapy uses simple physical exercises in sync with breathing. In order to unlock chronic physical tensions such as emotions and blocked energy. From an early age, we’re forced to suppress the expression of feelings, giving rise to blockages in the body thereby decreasing our vitality and mobility. Emotions that aren’t expressed are held in our body causing chronic muscle contractions.
For instance, when a child becomes angry, he or she learns to not express his anger due to potential punishment. To contain this anger, tension is created in the body and at the same time breathing turns to a more wheezing flow. When these tensions are frequent chronic health issues arise.
Another example is when a child feels like crying but holds the emotion to not disturb others. He learns to close his chest and project his shoulders forward and cut his breathing. In adulthood, although there is no longer any reason to contain these emotions that person will show difficulty in crying and expressing feelings of love, joy and passion.
Bioenergetic Therapy Exercises
Bioenergetics helps us to unblock and relax all the so-called muscular armor. It is a chronic tension that contain numb emotions, triggered by current and very old experiences. All the muscle energy used to block them gets free again by unlocking the energy flow through a series of breathing exercises and body postures.
The exercises are simple and aim to reactivate the body’s natural vibration again. The focus are all body segments: legs, pelvis, diaphragm, chest, neck, mouth and eyes. It allows the release of suppressed energy through crying, laughter, catharsis and vibration of the body. The regular practice of Bioenergetic makes us more spontaneous, more aware of our automatic behaviors and bring greater emotional balance.
It’s suitable for everyone who lives or has experienced situations of phobia, low self-esteem, panic or obsessive behaviors, as well as breathing, digestion or sexual problems.
Pramod Miguel Bento conducts individual and group sessions. Private practices, the central parto of the process, focus more on the person while group sessions include the social component. Usually individual sessions last 1h15min, start with a conversation about the personal history and present moment, then the Bioenergetics practice and end with a relaxation followed by a conversation.
In addition, there are also regular 2 hours group sessions and multi-day workshops, 3 levels that complete each other in a growth spiral.
