Uprooting Satan's Grip - Opening to God

Anneliese Widman, Ph.D.
(1921-2019)

A psychotherapist with years of private practice in New York City.  Her first career was a Broadway dancer, introduced her to the body’s subtle energies.  That led her to formal study of Bioenergetics and training with its founders, Alexander Lowen, M.D., and John Pierrakos, M.D.  Her innovative approach to therapy has since expanded to include a fusion of psychoanalysis and spirituality, which she describes in all of her books.

Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy the life, history, books and teachings.

Innately, though almost unconsciously, we all aspire to hear the voice of God, to be counseled by God’s wisdom, to have such a presence flow through our natures every moment of the day.  It is when humankind surrenders to the credo, They Will be done, not mine alone, that this experience of connection with the Divine never leaves us.  But the journey only begins when we ask, “Who am I, God? Who am I, really – really, really?” It is then that the search for a larger concept of living unfolds until one day we can declare, like Jesus and many other prophets and teacher did – “My Father and I are one” And when we are one, we are filled with joy, love, wisdom and wholeness.

Yet, through many years of working as psychotherapist, I have learned that some human beings choose to live their lives without questioning or probing, much less seeking the Will of God or their own true self.  Instead they are resigned (or sometimes even content) to remain bold by their emotional handicaps: ether physical armoring, emotional repression, and spiritual blockages.  These people remain dead to their denial and lies, living like ants, carrying their nugget of materiality to their tribal dens.  They close their eyes to rest (if that is what ants do), to awaken and repeat the same feat the approaching day. 

“Having just finished reviewing your magnum opus I send congratulations.  

You are making an notable contribution to the field.  All parts of your book are worthy.”
