 About augenblick therapy...
This therapy helps to free blocked emotions and can therefore heal body, mind and spirit.
More than 30 years ago, Gerda Boyesen, a Norwegian Clinical Psychologist and Physiotherapist, discovered a method of relieving stress and its side-effects without drugs or psycho analysis. Her alternative therapy includes psychoperistalsis and biodynamic massage. Gerda Boyesen is widely regarded as a leading interpreter of the psychology of Wilhem Reich.
The theory of 'psychoperistalsis' is based on the Reichian premise that the organism (e.g. the body or individual organs) must be encouraged to follow their own processes, and that the body 'knows' as much as the mind. The body reacts even if you feel calm and in control.
Reich defined pain for example, as trapped energy and believed that healing was accomplished by releasing that energy. Gerda Boyesen realised that this trapped energy took the material form of fluids embedded between the muscles and the nerves.
The idea in Augenblick is that when the body is under stress, the energy associated with this affects the fluids in and around the intestine which can then become blocked. This then creates other physical and mental symptoms of stress. Gerda discovered that a certain technique of massage and gentle bodywork (biodynamic massage) could locate and liberate the energetic fluids, with the beneficial effect of unblocking the body and activating the intestine.
Augenblick has been established in Europe as an effective treatment for some time, and even as a permanent cure, for such stress-related conditions as headache, backache, sinus pain, colitis, anorexia and depression.
