Pulsation draws from Wilhelm Reich's breathing and bodywork practices, developed to understand how life energy flows through the body. Reich believed that every time we suppress an emotional expression—such as anger, fear, tears, or sexuality—a powerful system of blockages forms in the body. He called this "muscular armouring."
This largely unconscious process of suppressing feelings and holding energy creates muscle tension, disrupting the natural flow of energy and emotions. This tension can lead to emotional detachment, psychological fragmentation, and inner conflict.
Pulsation offers a method to work with the subconscious through the body and emotional expression. The techniques used in Pulsation help bypass psychological defenses and limiting mental beliefs, connecting you with the core of your true nature. This truth arises not through intellectual understanding but through direct sensory, physical, and deep emotional experiences.
About the Group:
Over these three days, we will work layer by layer to release muscular armouring, relax tense muscles, free trapped energy, confront suppressed emotions and memories, and rediscover trust in the wisdom of the body.
We will explore how the body stores suppressed feelings, emotions, and memories. What we have restrained, left unexpressed, or "swallowed" remains in our muscles and subconscious.
This seminar uses the most effective Pulsation techniques to reveal and feel how much energy we spend holding onto these repressions. Often, subconsciously (or even consciously), we maintain a "self-image" imposed on us long ago during upbringing—an image disconnected from our inner reality, our true selves.
The seminar will not only help you recognize these internal constraints and repressions but also give you the opportunity to free yourself from them, shedding the "shackles" of muscular armouring. This will allow your energy and emotions to flow freely through your body, restoring the joy of life, vivid perception, and fresh emotional experiences. As the body relaxes, more space and calmness emerge within; intrusive thoughts diminish, and presence in the "here and now" increases.
This rich, intensive, and inspiring process includes bioenergetic exercises by Alexander Lowen and Reichian techniques for emotional release, based on deep breathing. We will also use bodywork, Gestalt therapy techniques, inner child work, meditation, and deep dives into the subconscious to release suppressed feelings and emotions, cleansing the energy system through expressive expression and catharsis.
During these days, you can:
- Recognize your defenses manifesting as muscle tension and behavioral patterns that limit your vitality and self-expression.
- Relax the muscular armouring to access deeper feelings and let your energy flow freely through your body and energy system.
- Understand the origins of your protective armouring, such as past psychological trauma and limiting beliefs stemming from your family upbringing. This can help you gain psychological distance from these past defenses, which may no longer serve you in the present.
- Shift your energy and focus from protective mechanisms to a resourceful state of self-acceptance.
