Kiss geography

Each country and each culture has its own kissing – rules or rituals. So, be aware of these differences in order to avoid difficulties and embarrassments.

The Maori (natives of New-Zeeland) and the Inuit (Eskimos) kiss with their noses. They touch each others` nose with their own nose and move together in a slide way from one side to the other.

In the US: if somebody kisses you already at first dating, this means that person has sexual interest. So, be aware ……….

Character structures (Bioenergetic Analysis)

The richness of one`s own history and one`s individual experience and the various patterns of tension and holding back in the body will find their psychological / psychic relevance in the character structure. It corresponds as psychological component of the form and movement of the body and functionally is identical to it. It is very resistant to all influences from outside and to change. The entire pattern of excitement and tension controls the power and the use of one´s own bodily energy, the life energy. You cannot understand (and work with) the energy dynamics of a person without the concept of the character structure. (Schwieger 1998).

Induced (by specific experience) limited mobility and charging of the body causes new emotional ………….

The energy concept part 2 (Bioenergetic Analysis)

These emotions, feelings and physical sensations are the perception of internal movements of the “energetic body associated with its natural rhythms and vibrations. These “inner movements” are referred to as motility of the body. For a baby, this can be easily observed when one follows the constant interplay of movements like waves on a lake. These are caused by internal forces, without being subject to the arbitrary interference. All voluntary movements always have an involuntary component, which can be understood as a basic motility of the organism. The involuntary and voluntary activity are integral components of liveliness and spontaneity of human actions and movements. If it is missing or it is reduced, the body movements are mechanical and lifeless. Expressive movements always include elements of feeling, which always turn into involuntary components. These components …………..

Be aware of what you eat and you will really taste

Mentally multitasking people do not really tast what they eat. If multitasking you will est more thsan you need. You will taste less and you “prefer” more salty and sweet things.

As a result of a scientific study you harm your body and cannot really be aware of this, of what you do to your body. Read more here:

The energy concept part 1 (Bioenergetic Analysis)

The energy concept of BA sees man as a “reservoir of energy” that comes into contact with the environment. This process usually starts and develops in our culture (in all cultures!!) mostly via the relationship to “mother (figure)”. The experience and the embodiment of one`s own personality and the herewith connected individual way of relating to the “mother (figure)”, and later to one`s father, influence the whole life of an adult human. The way how one lives relationships is among others very individually characterized by gratification, conflict resolution, self-presentation and dialogue.

The BA does not only ………………

Smog hurts the body too

Chinese Smog, just like any other Smog in the world, is so bad, it’s like a ‘nuclear winter’ that’s even stopping plants’ photosynthesis. Scientists argue. They also state the following aspects:

  • Pollution has grounded aircraft, closed roads and hit tourism inChina
  •  The food supply could be affected as the smog blocks sunlight
  • China Agricultural University showed that seedlings are struggling to grow
  • The smog is having the same effect as that predicted from nuclear war
  • YetChina’s naval chief claimed it has a plus side – defence from US laser
  • Rear Admiral Zhang Zhaozhong said weapons’ range cut from 10km to 1km

So smog touches the Body in an implicite way one could say. It touches the Body, interferes without letting you really know what happens and what will happen in the future.

Smog hurts without you letting feel how much it hurts.

The body tells YOUR story

The Bioenergetic Analysis (Bioenergetics) allows access to the topics / problems of understanding and acting on the level of interaction between the body and the analytical process. This is possible because the body is functionally identical to the person, on all levels. Feelings, thoughts and issues of life of an individual always manifest in the expression of the body. A diagnostic identification of these aspects is precisely possible because of the shape, the structure and motility of the body. It is necessary that one is able to read the language of the body.

These patterns of feeling, …………

Frozen watchfulness

Little children who have been misused, tortured or beaten Show special nonverbal symptoms in behavior. Here are two of them which can be found in all cultures:

  • First there is the frozen watchfulness. This reaction is typical for chronically or acute misused children. Children show this behavior when being explored. They just down move any more, stay motionless and even don`t react when they are touched in a perhaps hurting way (for example by an injection).
  • Secondly they very often address others, even if they don`t know them, in a too open way. without any sign of distance. Instead of retreating or crying if being addressed by strangers, they stay there where they are and smile. This is very untypical for children of this early age. Probably the try to disarm the other person by smiling. This also Shows that their experience is: even if you cry and when you are that anxious there is nobody who will hear you and help you.
