What is modern armor de-armoring?
Wilhelm Reich and the discovery of the muscle armor
Releasing the body of tension, of the body armor, as Wilhelm Reich called it, is the fastest way to develop one's own strength potential.
The physician and psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) is considered one of the founders and pioneers of Western psychology and therapy.
He coined the term "de-armoring" about 90 years ago.
He was one of the first to recognize the connections between our stress patterns, unnatural breathing, and the resulting muscular armor.
From this insight, he developed the psychoanalytic therapeutic method into character analysis, and this further into vegetotherapy (a body-oriented form of psychotherapy). The latter is considered the basis for various body psychotherapies that were founded later.
Wilhelm Reich also discovered that people who delved deeper into the patterns of their personal (muscular) armor were able to relatively quickly become aware of and resolve their knots – through emotional release and by expressing their inner, felt truth. In this way, he helped many people lead much more fulfilling lives.
Stefan Becker owes a great deal of clarity in his life to the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich. Through Reich's legacy, he and his mentor Martin Siems reached the core of his own emotional armor.
Based on this, Stefan developed his own method, the "modern de-armoring", which he then integrated into the "SonarBody Transform System".
Modern de-armoring brings you back to your core essence.
The first seven years
The experiences a young human being has, or is forced to have, in the first seven years are formative for the rest of their life. From the day of birth, the newborn's environment exerts a decisive influence.
Whether it's the mother, whose interaction with the child can range from loving attention to overindulgence, or conversely, lovelessness, neglect, and deprivation; whether it's a loving or overly strict, violent or completely absent father; whether it's the tensions in the air or the joy over the new addition to the family – all of this has a formative and shaping effect on the child.
As soon as its big, bright eyes open, the little one absorbs all information. This is vital for the baby's survival. It absolutely must know as early as possible how it should and can behave, what kind of environment it was born into, and how it can gain the affection of its family members. It learns every second of its existence what role it must fit into and how far it is allowed to rebel against these dictates.
From day one, the infant is programmed to "play along" and to accept and fulfill the role assigned to it by the clan. The primal fear of otherwise being ostracized and alone means death. The child knows this instinctively. So it will adapt—unconsciously—at any cost.
Just as it takes its first steps, it learns its social behavior. Its little brain stores all of this in the various designated areas and integrates the experiences into its personality. All of this happens completely automatically after a very short time.
Transforming life issues and blockages into vitality and supportive energy
Beneath the armor are 10 breathing and consciousness spaces, which are instinctively linked to breathing and consciousness. When we regain access to these spaces, we can finally unleash our full vitality and reclaim our lost life force – to the HERE AND NOW.
Once we have literally released the pent-up emotions from our formative years, we can perceive them for what they are:
Currents of emotion that move through us – like a wind – and draw our attention, in a positive or negative way, to our state of mind and our needs (whether fulfilled or unfulfilled).
This felt realization usually brings a deep inner peace and unexpected feelings of happiness, with everything that is.
By releasing negatively pent-up emotions and recognizing and nurturing the actual truth and needs behind them, we automatically return to our true values and inner peace in body awareness.
It is hard to imagine what a blessing it is to send one's own organic breathing like a tsunami of energy into all life issues and blockages, thereby transforming them into available life force down to the last cellular level.
So much support energy awaits beneath your protective armor.
With it, you bring all your life force back to yourself in the HERE AND NOW. Once you have done this, you will realize that before you were constantly fighting against windmills and that this was very exhausting.
You will then experience what it feels like to effortlessly create a completely stress-free life for yourself.
The programming of our body armor
Not only the physical processes such as walking, sitting, and bringing the spoon to the mouth – no, the behavioral patterns have also been automatically “installed” in the operating system and now belong to the developing little human being.
These patterns don't simply lie dormant in the "storage space" of different brain regions, waiting to be retrieved when needed. The young child is constantly and continuously building their self-image and self-perception from them.
The child learns this self-image completely unconsciously and accepts it uncritically, just as it accepts the existence and authority of its parents without question.
The body language, the basic tension that the small body assumes and thereby expresses its personality, is determined by this self-image.
The movement patterns are learned, adopted and ingrained by the age of seven; posture, body language, all of this is stored under the term "normal state".
Whether this is organically beneficial or harmful is no longer perceived. The body's awareness of its surroundings has also stored this "normal state" as "correct" and no longer checks it.
Whether the child has grown into a tormenting straitjacket or into a light, loose, comfortable garment, it cannot judge for itself. It knows nothing else.
Our imprisoned freedom
Almost everyone in this world lives in a cage of muscular tension and inner attitude, which we have built for ourselves in order to react to the outside world. This hard shell, frozen in a permanent position, is simultaneously our protective wall and our prison. Our inner selves cannot be reached within it, but they can no longer be free either. We ourselves are imprisoned within it.
Modern dearmoring according to the Stefan Becker method reveals a completely new approach to how one can escape from prison. Not suddenly and violently, but carefully, step by step, layer by layer.
The goal is to free the hardened muscular armor, to fill it with life and mobility again, to give it breath, to be able to move freely within it and thus to become and be oneself again.
The effect is often quite astonishing. It can occur spontaneously as early as the first treatment in the SonarBody Transform process, sometimes with impressive primal force.
Especially when tension has built up over many years, extending deep into the muscles due to emotional problems, "softening" this protective layer can, in extreme cases, lead to an immediate response from the liberating body and mind to the loosening of these prison walls. The physical release and conscious breathing suddenly allow the psychological constraints to become concretely and clearly conscious, melting away in a way that is usually unexpectedly easy.
By bringing the sometimes unnoticed but charged tensions into conscious awareness through physical pressure points, "red buttons" are pressed. The physically painful pressure points are, so to speak, the alarm buttons for the associated psychological issue of self-limitation, and become perceptible in the restriction of breathing.
This principle works on a physical, emotional, and mental level. In this way, old, negative layers of armor can be detected and dissolved in the consciousness.

Understand this and unfold your life.
The treatment in the SonarBody Transform process is not a miracle cure, but rather work on oneself and a conscious, step-by-step, progressive path.
No guru will come and save you from all evil. You have to work at it, but success is not a matter of chance; it's a lasting process of self-empowerment and the path to enabling your body and mind to find balance, express yourself freely as a person, become healthy, and breathe freely.
This method is also the simplest and fastest way to experience true, cellular transformation and tangible, embodied spirituality.
