Emotional life is tied to\u003cbr\u003ephysical being and physical health is dependent on emotional well-being.\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Lowen’s insight into these powerful connections offers\u003cbr\u003ean innovative approach to cardiovascular health and the treatment of\u003cbr\u003eheart disease.\u003cbr\u003eLowen examines the feeling of love as a physiological process in the body.\u003cbr\u003eWhen this process is frustrated, as in the case of heartbreak or isolation,\u003cbr\u003eespecially during childhood, people suppress their pain by unconsciously\u003cbr\u003erigidifying their chest muscles. This results in a chronic restriction of\u003cbr\u003ebreathing, movement, and feeling. It is this tension that limits pleasure, and\u003cbr\u003epredisposes so many to heart disease.\u003cbr\u003eThis book features the principles and therapeutic techniques to help people\u003cbr\u003eunderstand their fear of love, release chronic muscular tension, and become\u003cbr\u003emore loving. It is essential reading for health professionals and anyone\u003cbr\u003einterested in the health of the heart.","brand":"The Alexander Lowen Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154395480304,"sku":"9781938485077","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938485077_p0.jpg?v=1763666881","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938485077","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
