"To shorten analytic treatment is a justifiable wish, and its fulfillment, as we shall learn, is being attempted along various lines. Unfortunately, it is opposed by a very important factor, namely the slowness with which deep changes in the mind are accomplished." Sigmund Freud

"The goal of bioenergetics is to help people regain their primary nature, which is a condition of being free, the state of being graceful, and the quality of being beautiful. Freedom, grace and beauty are the natural attributes of every animal organism. Freedom is the absence of inner restraint to the flow of feeling, grace is the expression of the flow of movement, while beauty is a manifestation of the inner harmony such a flow engenders. They denote a healthy body and also, therefore, a healthy mind." - Alexander Lowen, M.D.
