The Release Technique: Why it Works so Well

nature waterMany people have used and are healing themselves using some type of Clearing/Releasing energy work.  I have used many of these techniques, including The Healing Codes, Theta Healing, Quantum Energy Transformation, Spontaneous Transformation Technique and The Release Technique 1.  The one that I recommend to someone new to this type of work is The Release Technique.  The reason I like it so much is it clears past emotions; it trains you how to deal with thoughts and emotions as they come up and how to treat yourself in a loving way.

The Release Technique and Stress

We have all heard that stress is not good for you and a cause of illness and disease.  The Release Technique helps you to avoid the stress response or reverse it.  When you are in a stress response, your body releases chemicals and stops certain important bodily and cellular functions.  If this happens often or is not reversed, damage occurs, your body is weakened and disease thrives.  Stress isn’t what happens outside you, it is your response to what happened.  Your patterns, memories and traumatic events determine your response.  The Release Technique takes you through questions and exercises and you learn to release those emotions.  So when something happens that reminds you of a stressful emotion, the emotion has been released, so no stress response occurs.

The Release Technique and Your Thoughts

The Release Technique brings in the idea of The Law of Attraction.  It reminds us that when we “Want” something, it means that we are lacking that thing.  When we send the message of want or lack, we will attract more lack of that thing.  The Release Technique focuses on releasing or letting go of want or lack.  It groups all “wants” into one of three categories, want of Approval, Control or Security.  So, when something comes up that stirs up emotion, you release until you no longer want it.

One of the keystones to The Release Technique is the six steps.  The first step is “You must want imperturbability more than you want approval, control and security.” 1 Imperturbable is unable to be upset or excited, calm.  This is brilliant because it takes the want or lack away from your goal.  So, you release on all things that upset or excite you thereby changing the emotions and thoughts.  Lester Levenson, who developed The Release Technique, released all his non-loving thoughts and healed himself from terminal illness.  His focus was not on wanting to be healed, but once he released the non-loving feelings, all areas of his life healed.

The Release Technique teaches us to stop trying to figure out how to fix whatever it is you want to fix.  This is important for two reasons, the first is you have probably already tried many times to “figure it out” and haven’t, so it pointless to continue if it is not working.  The second reason when you are figuring it out, you are focusing on what you want to correct, what you don’t want.

dropThe Release Technique and You

This is perhaps my favorite part.  The Release Technique teaches us to stop beating ourselves up and disapproving ourselves.  Many of us are very hard on ourselves; we criticize our bodies, decisions and our actions.  This just makes you feel badly and fills you with negativity.  After you stop disapproving of yourself, you learn to send yourself love and approval.

The last benefit is The Release Techniques reminds us that approval and love are inside us and we can have them whenever we desire them.  One of the exercizes is to send yourself love and approval as you fall asleep every night.

 

The Release Technique works in three significant ways.  It helps you clear old emotions by releasing the “wants” that are stirred up.  It teaches you how to release things as they come up so you don’t feel stressed.  The Release Technique also teaches you how to treat yourself in a kind and loving manner.  All of things not only release the stress but helps you be happier and more peaceful.  Click Here to learn more.

Energy Healing: What is it?

energy light handI would bet that many people don’t know what “Energy Healing” is and how it works.  Energy Healing is anything that adds energy or changes its characteristics.  It is also anything that removes blocks to change the flow of energy.  All of these things encourage healing.  There are different types of energy healing, some of them are, hands on or distance healing, clearing/releasing healing and vibrational healing techniques.

One of the most important concepts in energy healing is the idea that everything is energy and has a vibrational frequency (frequency) and resonates at a certain frequency.  Things that have a high frequency are healing and things that have a low frequency are destructive.  This is supported by the work of Dr. David R. Hawkins in his creation of the Map of Consciousness which is documented in his book Power vs. Force.  Another very important concept is entrainment.  When two energy bodies are in contact or energetically connected, their frequency will entrain to be the same.  Many types of energy healing work because of resonance and entrainment.

Hands On and Distance Energy Healing

I am very familiar with Quantum Touch, so I’ll use that as an example.  The practitioner use meditation to hold a high frequency, then through resonance and entrainment the client’s frequency raises.  Since their body is now a higher frequency so they heal.  I am sure there are dozens of techniques that do hands on or distance energy healing.  I would imagine they are similar in many ways.  The source of the energy is the Universe, God or The Divine; the energy goes through a practitioner in meditation or prayer and is transferred to the person who is healing.  This type of energy healing does many things, it adds energy to a body, it changes the characteristics or frequency of the energy and can clear energetic blocks.

There are many energy healing techniques to release/clear stress, trauma, blocks and limiting beliefs.  These energy healing techniques work because once you clear the energy around an event or trauma, the stress response is no longer triggered.  As we have heard, stress is damaging to the body because it stops the normal maintenance and repair.  According to what I have seen, read, heard and experienced, many people have healed using this type of energy healing.  They include, but are not limited to The Healing Codes, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) aka Tapping, Theta Healing, Quantum Touch’s Self-Created Health and The Release Technique.

Vibrational Healing Therapies

I hear healers and transformational leaders say more and more that increasing your frequency is one of the most important things a person can do in transformation and healing.  There are many factors that influence your personal frequency, your thoughts and environment have significant influence.  There are also many other energy healing tools, such as music, diet, breath work and meditation.  When you listen to or use products that vibrate at a higher frequency than your body, your body will entrain up to that higher frequency.  The issue is then to maintain it, just as your body will entrain up it can also entrain down when you are around negative people, thinking low vibration thoughts or are in an artificial environment.

Since everything is energy and things that have a high frequency are healing and things that have a low frequency are destructive, energy healing can be very powerful.  I recommend using a combination of hands on, releasing and vibrational energy healing techniques in your healing strategy to provide maximum benefit.

My Healing Journey through ALS and Back Again

sunflowersOn the Today Show, recently, I saw a story about a woman who had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).  The story was about how the woman was living the last year or two of her life with her friends and family.  This story hit home because I was diagnosed with ALS years ago and it hard to see her so weak.

When I was diagnosed with ALS, I was told that the disease was incurable and terminal.  I did not focus on or believe that I was going to die.   I went to the health food store for vitamins and continued with natural therapies like chiropractic and acupuncture.  I was introduced to energy healing and the idea that our thoughts have power.  I continued working part-time, working out, cooking and riding my horse.  At the beginning, the disease progression was very slow.  I attribute this to many things, I always believed that I would find a way to heal, I surrounded myself with alternative practitioners who supported my beliefs, I continued to do things I enjoyed with people I loved.  I continue to believe that my horse, DJ, is a huge part of why I am still alive because being with him made me so happy and brought me close to nature and the earth.  See my posts on the healing power of love and pH, electrons and Earthing.  As I discuss in pH, Electrons and Earthing, electrons flow from a high voltage system to a low voltage system.  The earth is a very high voltage system, so being in contact with the earth and nature gives your body the energy to heal.  Think about a 100 lb. person in poor health on a 900 lb. healthy animal who spends all day and night in contact with the earth.  It’s my belief that riding him  and being with him at the ranch was beneficial to my health on many levels.

It was after a period of a marital problems, pending divorce and financial worries, that my symptoms got much worse.  I got weaker and weaker, lost muscle and my speech got more garbled. I was trying so hard to do everything I learned about with the   Law of Attraction, but I made it worse because my focus was on fixing myself.  I did better when I kept busy doing the things I enjoyed and didn’t focus on the disease, physical limitations and what needed to be fixed.  At the lowest point, I lost so much muscle you could see all three sides of the top of my shoulder; it was difficult to understand me when I spoke and I could only take small steps.  I really should have used a walker because I fell often.  I fell in the office and my employer, at that time, told me they needed a note from a neurologist specializing in ALS stating that I was able to continue to work.  That doctor told me I should be using a scouter, a tool that spoke for me and a lift seat to help me stand.  I decided to leave my job as Tax Manager, CPA because of the stress.  It wasn’t the job or tax deadlines that was problematic; it was the stress from being self-conscious about how I looked and sounded, the fear of falling and the frustration towards my body that was the chronic stress.  See my post of Cause of Illness.

sunflowerI decided to learn everything I needed to so I could heal, especially energy healing. Energy healing  I was absolutely determined and knew I would succeed, somehow.  I was considered to be a stubborn child, they made that sound like that was a bad thing, it’s not.  I tried so many things that reportedly healed others miraculously, but didn’t instantly heal me or helped only slightly.  I kept trying new energy healing and natural techniques and became a teleseminar junkie.  I discovered what techniques worked for me and developed an energy healing strategy that is working.  Everything in my healing strategy has the goal of eliminating stress, increasing the vibrational frequency in my body and increasing the energy or voltage in the cells.  See my post on How to Heal from Illness; I use many things like Quantum Touch, earthing or grounding, meditation to name the big ones.  Now, my body is healing, I am stronger, more balanced and am building muscle.  People can now understand me when I speak.  I am still rebuilding my body but I am making progress every day.

Not only is my body healing, but I have made tremendous emotional and spiritual growth.  I am not the same person I was before I noticed symptoms.  I was very unhappy, held emotions inside and buried them.  Even before my body weakened, I was very unkind to myself and unforgiving.  I learned many important things, two   things came from The Release Technique, the first was emotions come up when they want to leave, so let them go.  The second thing is to stop beating yourself, talk to yourself like you would talk to a friend.  If you met me now and looked into my eyes, you would see someone full of life and love.  You would not see someone with ALS, an “incurable” “terminal” illness, that’s not who I am.

Energy Healing: The Healing Power of Love

heart in sandThere are many aspects of love that affect illness and healing.  Obviously, love isn’t a form of energy healing, but I think it’s so important to understand how love affects health.

In his book Love, Medicine and Miracles, Bernie Siegel explains the impact of love of the immune system and healing.

“I feel that all disease is ultimately related to a lack of love, or to love that is only conditional, for the exhaustion and depression of the immune system thus created leads to physical vulnerability.”1

“I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system.  If I told patients to raise their blood levels of globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how.  But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically.  The truth is: love heals.”1

It has taken many years, but the most important thing I have learned on my healing journey, is how to love myself.  In the Release Technique we learn that Love is inside of us, we have the power to feel and be loved any time we want.

If you study energy healing you will see and hear people talking about The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton, it is an interesting an enlightening book.  Here he discusses the importance of joy and love.

hand-heart“It is also important to note to fully experience your vitality it takes more than just getting rid of life’s stressors.  In a growth-protection continuum, eliminating the stressors only puts you at the neutral point in the range.  To fully thrive, we must not only eliminate the stressors but also actively seek joyful, loving, fulfilling lives that stimulates growth processes.”2

This quote sums up two import steps in my energy healing strategy, first you must clear or release those things in you that cause you to feel stress and then you can feel those high frequency emotions like love and joy.

As I discussed in my (thoughts frequency) post, David R. Hawkins, M.D. mapped the levels on consciousness. “All levels below 200, it is destructive of life in both the individual and society at large; all levels above 200 are constructive expressions of power.”3 Since love has the level of consciousness of 500, it would be very constructive, especially when you consider this is a logarithmic scale.

heart in sky“Love is a state of being.  It is a way of relating to the world which is forgiving, nurturing and supportive.”3

In my opinion, relieving stress and learning to feel loved are critical steps in healing and an energy healing strategy. Many look for joy, happiness and love out there somewhere, but it starts within you.  You need to be able to love yourself even when your body is not yet healed, have no money or are alone, that’s the true test.
