The common thread connecting Osho and Reich is their abounding love of life combined with groundbreaking discoveries about how to free the imprisoned human spirit. His pioneering experiments with life energy and human sexuality have influenced many of today's humanistic psychotherapies. The breathing and bodywork that constitutes Pulsation is rooted in the deep emotional release process developed by Wilhelm Reich, the Austrian-born psychoanalyst and one time student of Freud. One stream is neo-Reichian breathing and body work, as taught at the Radix Institute in Southern California. Osho Pulsation is a method of psychotherapy which has evolved from two important streams in the human potential movement - a group which made a radical breakaway from conventional psychotherapy in the late '60s. To explore what might be the emotional content of these pains, we agreed to do a series of ten individual Pulsation sessions and two Pulsation weekend groups over a three - month period, during which time she would participate in daily active meditations. She also had fluctuating pain in the back, the area around her heart, and other places in her body. Through our initial conversation it became apparent that her pains had nothing to do with her digestive system but were due to tensions in her diaphragm and belly muscles.


She already had had several medical check - ups and it was clear that there was nothing physically wrong with her. Once, when I was working as a Pulsation therapist in Denmark, a woman I will call Jane came to me complaining of chronic stomach pains.
