In The Spirituality of the Body, Alexander Lowen provides a unique perspective about the nature of spirituality. Lowen views the body as the outer manifestation of the spirit and defines grace as the divine spirit acting within the body. For the healthy individual the divine spirit is experienced as the natural gracefulness of the body and is reflected in the person's behavior.  In a healthy body, movement, feeling, and thinking are integrated in grace and harmony. This book includes body-psychotherapy techniques and exercises aimed at alleviating muscular tension and restoring the body's natural grace. This spiritual grace involves a sense of connectedness to a higher order. In this state of grace we feel a kinship with all living creatures, and recognize our connection to our environment and to the world.… (more)

> « Lorsqu’une personne marche de façon à sentir le sol à chacun de ses pas, l’onde d’excitation
qui part de ses pieds est coordonnée avec l’onde respiratoire qui met le pelvis
en mouvement à chaque respiration. Ce genre de démarche se rencontre plus souvent
dans les pays en voie de développement, car leurs habitants ne sont pas aussi dominés
par leur ego que les Occidentaux […] Un corps libre des injonctions venant du surmoi
(“Sois une gentille petite fille, obéis à ton père et ta mère, ne lève pas la main sur tes
parents…”) est un corps libre de toute tension. »
—Dr Alexander Lowen, La spiritualité du corps. Pratique de la bioénergie, Dangles, 1993.

> Coups de chapeau : Aux éd. Dangles pour une bonne idée : remettre au goût du jour la bioénergie du Dr Alexander Lowen, très prisé il y a vingt ans, et dont les principes n'ont en rien vieilli puisque nos attitudes corporelles trahiront toujours nos états intérieurs : La spiritualité du corps. Chez le même éditeur, signalons aussi l'excellent ouvrage de Jean-Pierre Bayard sur le Sens caché des rites mortuaires.

È solo nella perfetta armonia tra corpo, mente ed emozioni che possiamo raggiungere un senso di integrità morale e personale, di amore per gli altri e di rapporto col divino.

Lowen estende il rapporto mente-corpo ampliandolo fino ad abbracciare la spiritualità, intesa però non nel convenzionale senso religioso bensì come la ricerca di un'armonia tra corpo, mente ed emozioni, cioè di una condizione che Lowen chiama lo 'stato di grazia
