Summary/Abstract: In the following text, the author, representing holistic anthropology, describes the mechanism of dependencies occurring between the educational intention of enabling the human for spiritual experiences, and the “traduction” of higher degree values, and the psychophysical reactions of the body, being the direct response to the former. The description is based on the phenomenological theory of Max Scheler and the bioenergetics character analysis theory of Alexander Lowen. The concept that binds the body and the mind consists of emotions and feelings, while the complete integrity and maturity of human personality is displayed (according to Lowen) in grace – which he perceived as a spiritual experience of pleasure.
