Releasing works fast

Dear W.K.,

Congratulations! That's wonderful. Thanks for the update.

Everything improves the more you release. The effects are cumulative.

Just wait until you get into letting go of the three "generators" of ALL negativity and limited thinking. The more you let those go, the faster everything is released. Knock those generators out and you'll be dissolving "gobs" of built-up negative suppressed feelings you probably weren't even aware of. You will reach a place of inner quiet and imperturbability much faster than by letting go of feelings or thoughts one by one.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Peter

hi Peter!!!!

It came yesterday. I'm already on Tape 2. I'm surprised such a "silly" ritual works so well, but I find myself feeling smiling and cheerful. When I felt myself slip into a negative pattern this morning, I immediately did the releasing thing and recognized, hey, that's just a habit, it's not real at all!

Thank you SO much for adding in the weight loss stuff. Per the directions, I need to be at Tape 5 to begin it. I can't wait!


Thank you again.

W.K.

Releasing vs. Other approaches

Dear D.E.,

No, to both questions. The Release Technique is a powerful and original system developed by Lester Levenson. It is not a take-off of any other method or course.

The Release Technique brings deep and long-lasting benefits. Neither of the two methods you mentioned is, to my knowledge, nearly as effective in removing the long-standing suppressed tendencies (emotional programs). So, even if you find yourself in a better mood temporarily or reach your goal once or twice, the seeds of negativity still remain, buried beneath the surface, waiting to sprout and sabotage your future happiness and success. The Release Technique allows you to scorch the seeds of future misery by knocking out the "root" programs that create all lack, limitation and suffering.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Peter

Afterthoughts (5/25/05):

“Tickling the amygdala” might very well be an effective method for some to temporarily get themselves out of reptilian brain-stem “fight or flight” mode and into the frontal lobes to enjoy more of the “stay and play” mode. However, I am unaware of its ability to truly eliminate deeply entrenched patterns and tendencies, which are like grooves in a record and which can be quite stubborn. It is possible that getting yourself “high” by “amygdala clicking” might help you to become witness the programs running and thus, begin dumping them. But, in my own experience, I don’t think that’s going to be the case with very many people. Anyone with experience in such matters is free to write me with your views on this. P.M.

I am interested in purchasing the [Abundance Course]; I have just two questions I would like for you to answer:

1) Does this method have anything to do with the "Amygdala" in the brain ??

2) Does this method have anything to do with "Visual" imaging ??

Thanks

Dear E.M.,

Sure, call me with any questions: 201-424-8653.

We sometimes have classes in your area. You can keep up with our class schedule at http://www.releasetechnique.com/live_classes. Also, being a graduate, you will be notified of upcoming classes through our monthly e-newsletters.

The “Ticket to Abundance & Bliss” exercise is toward the front of your Abundance Course workbook. And yes, it can be several of the three generators (wants). You can ask yourself, “Which one could I let go of first?”

Kind regards,
Peter

Peter, I really like what you're telling me and plan to call and order the "How to be in Release" tape...is that where "Tickets to Abundance and Bliss" exercise is? I do have some questions, which usually my Zen teacher can answer, but would not mind "talking" to someone in your place...on the Abundance tape Larry doesn't say that many times the response can be all three, or two of the three. Used it today after a long day of working/listening yesterday and I can certainly see it works, the release, just need to get the "habit"... Plan to call in the morning and order the "How to be in Release."If there is ever a group thing in my area (or not too far) I would love to do one. Haven't done a session in [city] because I really can't sit that long and even so, only in a chair. I live in the [deleted] area...

Thanks for your responses and Peace to you too,
E.M.

Dear E.M.,

The tape costs $15 including shipping and can be ordered through our website or toll-free order number.

Nothing will quiet your mind as fast as releasing. It gets you out of figuring things out and out of the habit of beating yourself up. Use the "Ticket to Abundance and Bliss" exercise to quiet your mind fast.

Releasing strikes at the root of all mental noise---desire. When that is released, the hundreds of suppressed feelings and millions of thoughts stirred up by those feelings are dissolved. Feelings of separation (pride, arrogance, wanting to be alone) and feelings of insecurity (wanting to survive as an ego, mind, body) are the core feelings that motivate all others. Eliminate these and you eliminate all "out of control" feelings, all "lacking approval" feelings, and all the "AGFLAP" they stir up.

If I can support you in your own peace and freedom in any way, please let me know.

Peace,
Peter

Peter, thank you so much...I really have a problem with a busy mind, running from it any way I can...maybe I should order the "How to Be In Release." I've only been doing this for about two weeks, sharing the Abundance tapes with my son, a dedicated Zen student who goes out to [city] for sessions three and four times a year...[Zen teacher] is retiring this year, though no doubt will continue with her work until the end, a wonderful woman at 88, still teaching, exercising, etc. Sometimes I think nothing will stop my mind (except me, of course.) I am not young so there is a lot to sift through, but I certainly recognize the truths in the tapes...and I have been a Zen student for sixteen years, fifteen with [Zen teacher]. As she told me yesterday, she had to work it through on her own so it took longer. Self-punishment seems to be my big problem (approval, ei yi yi). Reminds me of a line from a Karen Horney book a long time ago when one of her students said, "now let's work on the self-hate.) Well, I know this is all addressed in the Abundance tapes...I guess I'm in too much of a hurry, though I have spent many hours now working on the first 9 (I think that's what I am up to or down to.) Also am a writer, which no doubt is why I'm going on here. Let me know how much the tape you mentioned runs and how I can order it.

Best (and love too),
E.M.

Dear E.M.,

I have added you to our graduate e-mail list. You should begin receiving newsletters very soon.

Yes, the course is wonderful. A real gift. I am happy to hear about the recommendation from your teacher. The teachings are certainly very high teachings, having come from an enlightened teacher (Lester Levenson). They have helped many people, including myself, tremendously. I have found no better or faster method for quieting the mind. The mind drops into silence with just a few releases. Without the suppressed feelings stirring up the mind, it can rest.

Larry's "How To Be In Release" tape can show you how to make releasing constant.

Let us know if you have any questions about the course.

Kind regards,
Peter Michel

Hi, I would like to get your newsletter, find out where courses will be and are being held besides the ones listed in the communications I received when I purchased the Abundance Course tapes, which I have not finished, continue to work on, not sure about gains yet, but definitely am finding the whole thing pretty wonderful. My Zen teacher, [deleted name], at the [deleted name] Zen Center is also using them in her teaching...very unusual as she is very, very clear about herself and her life but finds the tapes very useful and obviously Zen-like in their teaching.Thank you so much...I just have to learn/remember to release all the time...working on it.

Best and thanks,
E.M.

Loving your way to abundance

Dear Releaser,

I'm glad you found the words helpful. Please, remember always to go for the freedom, not for the goal (you'll end up getting it anyway).

There is an incredible joy that lives in the heart as your true Inner Self. It is the very substratum of that person you call "you." Be that substratum, which is none other than joy, love, peace and which becomes self-evident the more you release and uncover it.

Go for it all. Why just stop at material abundance which must some day pass away? Go for that which is permanent and which no one and nothing can ever take away from you. Go for the complete enchilada---the complete freedom and joy that Lester knew. It's there right now waiting in you to be discovered.

Keep dumping the mind and its garbage and rest as your Self as much as possible. The joy will be uncovered more and more and will grow and grow. All fears and problems will vanish, abundance will come on its own, and life will become just an effortlessly beautiful adventure.

"The easiest way to contact the Self is through the feelingness in the heart of 'I,' or 'I Am," with nothing more added. This feelingness is the Self, the Real -- Inner Self. The moment we add anything at all, like 'I am good or bad'; 'I am poor or rich'; 'I am great or small'; or 'I and that'; we are imposing a limitation on the 'I Am' and are creating the ego." ~ Lester Levenson.

By all means, achieve all of your financial and other goals through Releasing only---this is important for pulling up and eliminating all our "I can'ts" and other negative programs. But don't stop there. Go for the complete freedom from all limitation.

There is nothing else like it. Nothing else satisfies like the joy that bubbles up from within. There's no end to it. And, you need not create that joy, for you ARE that joy.

All of us spend our lives like the dog who came across the dried out bone. He found it and thought to himself, "Yumm... a bone!" As he bit into it it splintered apart in his mouth, sending shards of the bone into his gums, making his mouth bleed, and causing him to whince with pain. "Ouch! This bone sure does hurt!" he thought to himself. But, as he tasted his own blood, he thought to himself, "But, it sure is a juicy bone!" And so, he bit into it even harder, trying to get more blood from what he believed to be a juicy bone, and again, more of his own blood gushed forth, as he again was taken back by the pain caused as he bit into his "juicy" bone.

This is a powerful analogy to bring to mind now and then. We are all like this dog. We mistakenly think the world and it's money, success, relationships, careers, and it's many material "things" are our "juicy bone" that bring us joy. But, it never is there. Each time we accomplish a goal, we end a painful desire and the joy of our Self becomes self-evident. Then, we wrongly attribute this joy to the person, place, accomplishment or thing that ended that painful desire. But the happiness that came when you achieved the particular goal, in truth, only came from ending the painful desire. So why not just make a beeline for the joy and start unloading all the painful suppressed desires so you have that joy 24/7?

One of the most powerful pointers Lester ever gave was, "Take all your joy from within."

Wishing you all the best.

Much love,
Peter

P.S. Letting go and letting God is a very fast way to freedom. The most powerful prayer is "Thy will be done." Or, as Lester would often say, "Be not the doer."

Dear Peter,

Just wanted to let you know how wonderful this reply
of yours was and it has helped me clear out and let go
of a lot of clutter and garbage that was still inside.
I am not quite free yet, but your words are like
living water and I am drinking them in constantly.

Dear Releaser,

Get to the point where you completely let go of
wanting money (and wanting to push it away). It's
just the wanting that's in the way. When you let go
of the wanting (attachments and aversions), and just
gently entertain the feeling that you have your goal
NOW, then it must come to you. It MUST, MUST, MUST
come to you. It's a universal law. That which your
mind is on is what you'll become. If it's on lack,
either consciously or subconsciously, that's what
you'll get.

The best way to have money is to keep filling
yourself up with positive energy. Choose to be
positive all the time. Charge yourself up with
positive energy so that you have a force-field all
around you that attracts more positive and dissolves
the negative. See all your body's cells smiling and
glowing. Beam positivity. Give yourself approval
and let go of any disapproval or hostility towards
yourself or others. Often we hold subconscious
hostility/negativity toward the wealthy and that is
a major obstacle, so look for it and if you find it
let it go.

Most of all love yourself, love others, love every
situation and circumstance you encounter. Love any
perceived lack of money and love any perceived
abundance of money---be equal-minded about it.

Do the mirror exercise---stand in front of a mirror
and give yourself approval for an hour or two or
three, while letting go of any disapproval that
comes up.

Let me know how you make out with these suggestions.

Love,
Peter

By the way, yes I am a graduate and I have had
Many successes in releasing, including letting go
completely of drinking alcohol and smoking pot. I
have also released on my other family members and my
father who passed away 3 years ago and experienced a
transformation in my life from that. However, I
apparently have a funny situation with releasing
on money. I feel that I have released majorly on
money and wealth, but I still live paycheck to paycheck.
(I am not poor by any means, but the typical "never
enough money" syndrome with 3 boys and a wife.)
That is not to say that many wonderful and somewhat
miraculous things haven't happened money wise, but
it doesn't stay permanent for some reason. What I
found was that the more I tried to release on money, the
more I seemed to focus on it. So, I try to simply
focus on releasing and surrendering my entire self
to God on as much of a moment to moment basis as I
can.

The other funny thing about my money situation is
that in two or three years I will have plenty of money
coming in from family and business properties and
that cash flow will only increase in future years, so
that seems to be interfering in ways that I don't know
how to get around. I also can't help thinking about
Lester's comment about time, that since there
really is no such thing as time, yet we believe there is,
that the future may seem to be years away when
that is not the reality at all. (I'm not sure if I got
that right, but that's how I think about it.) Any
suggestions?

I know Larry would suggest I buy the supercharging
my releasing tapes for the $300, but though I have
released on that idea, I never have enough money
left at the end of the month...

Dear Releaser,

Thanks for writing. Are you a graduate?

Regarding sending our e-news to your brother, if you are fully Released, your brother will hear it best from you. Try releasing and then forward the newsletter to him. A good question to ask yourself might be, "Could I let go of being so smart and allow it to be other than I think it is?" This will help dissolve any preconceived notions and allow him to hear it best from you.

People tend to show up for us in the way that we expect them to, so try to hold only an image of perfection of everyone you meet (including yourself). This works miracles. Anything you see that is less than perfection in yourself or others is judgement, and few, if any of us, make very very good judges. It is best to accept, as acceptance is love, as you know.

It is wonderful of you to share it with your family. It is the greatest gift one can give. However, we should be as Released as possible and as positive as possible while sharing it. Then, it will be received well.

Thanks for writing us and we hope to see you at Mo-Ranch. It will be AWESOME as usual.

Love,
Peter

Dear Larry and the folks at release...

I just received the newsletter on Love your
way to abundance and I would like you to send this
newsletter to my brother at the following e-mail:
“brother”@yahoo.com. He really needs to hear
this message. I don't know whether he will
accept it but if it comes straight from me he will
almost certainly reject it. That is why I am asking
you to e-mail this particular newsletter to him.
Please do not let him know that I requested you send it.
In fact, if you were to put a message in the
subject line that an anonymous female admirer requested it
be sent to him that would probably at least get him to
read it.

I'm sure you understand why I am doing this.
He is so full of pride and arrogance he doesn't know
