What does Wilhelm Reich say about life energy in relation to fear and love?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Life energy flourishes in love and withers in fear; choose to expand your aura through love and watch your vitality blossom."

According to Osho, Wilhelm Reich taught that life is a subtle energy field (aura) surrounding the body that expands in love and contracts in fear. Expansion signals health, aliveness, and openness; contraction signals sickness and diminished vitality. Thus, choose situations that let your energy flower—like love—and avoid fear-inducing contexts that shrink it. Meditation heightens perception of this energy.
Love makes your inner light grow bigger; fear makes it shrink.
Why this matters practically
- Use the feeling of expansion vs. contraction to choose loving, healthy actions.
- Practice meditation and breath to expand energy when fear arises.
- Prefer people and places that nourish your aura; limit those that drain it.
