The Alexander Lowen Foundation

Alexander Lowen
December 23, 1910 - October 28, 2008

"As one grows older, the sense of separateness is slowly reduced. Old people do not live on an ego level. Their concerns are not about their individuality but about the river of life, the family, the community, the nation, people, animals, nature, life. They can die easily if they are assured that life will continue positively, for they feel part of the river again, and soon they will be part of the ocean. When they are very old, they no longer belong to our time and space but to all time and all space."
- Alexander Lowen, Fear of Life

"I think what we in bioenergetics analysis have to offer are two things: One, a sane and sensible understanding of what human nature and life are about - pleasure, and the enjoyment of living.

Alexander Lowen, "The Energy of Bioenergetics"

Not money, not power, not success, not making it - there's nothing to make in the world. We have that to offer. And strangely, we also even have a way to help people achieve that. I think that while [bioenergetic analysis] may not save the world...still, it allows you to not only feel good in yourself because of what you're doing for yourself, but also good in yourself because of what you're doing for your fellow man, for nature and for life. And that's something - if you can have that feeling on two levels, that will really sustain you into a very old age with good feeling."

—Alexander Lowen at the Ninth International Conference of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis, Montebello, Quebec, May 1988

Out of collective love and appreciation for Alexander Lowen and Bioenergetic Analysis, this Foundation website has sprung into existence. It is designed for you and anyone you know who is pursuing the healing of their "mind-body" split. The essence and the basics of Bioenergetic Analysis have been captured here to contribute to health in our bodies, our lives, our nations, and our planet.
