Release Technique and Lester Levenson's Teachings

Larry Crane's Release Technique - at http://www.releasetechnique.com
Information on Lester Levenson - at http://www.releasetechnique.com/lester-levenson/

As of July 2003, Lester's autobiography has finally been published in a more formal book form, and is now available at Amazon.com.  You may already know that his autobiography is titled "No Attachments, No Aversions", and has been available for years, due to Larry Crane's efforts, in a pre-publication photocopied spiral-bound softcover form. However, that form appeared a bit "casual" or slip-shod to a few folks, but it was really a gem, because the main body of the book also contained some handwritten editing notes, penned by Lester after the book had first been printed.  Lester's handwritten notes were a lot of fun to read, and sometimes cast further light on whatever topic was at hand.  If you do have access to a copy of that pre-publication "casual" version, please be advised that the comments in the main part of the book which appear in handwriting are Lester's comments, but that some other editing comments appear in block printing in different handwriting, particularly at the end of the book.  Those latter notes were not written by Lester, but rather by a later editor at the Sedona Center years ago, and I learned to ignore them when I encountered them... 

One more thing... Lester, when he wrote the book, wanted to tell the story but very much wanted to remain private and anonymous, and so he used the pseudonym of "Lester Siegal" (and it appears that he occasionally spelled it a bit differently as "Lester Siegel"), as the author's name and also in context within the book when referring to himself. So, the name "Lester Levenson" never appeared in the first copies of the manuscript and on early photocopied versions of the book, but rather only the name "Lester Siegal". And, much in line with the tradition of terse dialogue so commonly found in newspapers and novels of the 1930s and 1940s, Lester often simply referenced himself in the book by his pseuconymous last name alone, as "Siegal". Larry Crane eventually went thru the book after Lester's death and attempted to change all occurrences of "Siegal" and "Mr. Siegal" to "Lester" or "Levenson" or "Lester Levenson", as appropriate. However, he missed a few occurrences, and hence my early pre-publication photocopied version of the book still has a few sprinklings of the surname Siegal throughout the book, which can be very puzzling to a newcomer.

Lester was also very private and reclusive in other ways, always wanting to remain anonymous and allow only the message of love and acceptance to be broadcast, minus any personal appellations.  In addition to the use of "Siegel" as a surname, he also tried very much to avoid being photographed, and, as a result, the folks who studied with him in Sedona at the Center thru the early 1990's have only a very few photos of Lester from that entire 30-odd year span of Lester's life when he was teaching.

Along the lines of the above, I received an e-mail last week from my friend Don, who had worked with Larry for years and had helped Larry to compile the pre-publication photocopied version of the book, and in his letter he touched upon the same topic or Lester's reluctance to be "known" as a teacher or guru-type. Here is an excerpt from Don's e-mail to me:

".....You know, an interesting thing happened when I was helping Larry with the cover of that book. Lester *did* say hello. I was putting Lester's picture on the front cover and my computer kept crashing. It just wasn't coming together. Then within about an hour or so, I got a call from Larry saying that Lester came to him and he didn't want his name on the book!  You may or may not be aware that Lester referred to himself as Siegel, not Levenson, throughout the book. Larry went through and tried to correct all those references, but missed a couple. What a cute and beautiful thing! For the discerning reader, there were still clues that Lester wanted it to be about the method, not him."

Energy Healing with Ron Wilding, Healer Extraordinaire
As things will happen in life, in January 2004 an old root canal tooth which had been 90% filling material (restorations) above the gum line had gradually lost almost all its filling material, exposing the old root canal root and pulp, and allowing debris and saliva into it. Well, within a few weeks, the dead root/tooth became abscessed, and I was walking around with a big bump on my upper left cheek from the abscess, and with a concomitant moderate degree of pain and discomfort in that area and in nearby teeth. Well, anyone who knows me knows that I did not jump up and run to a dentist, nor did I turn to antibiotics or "alternative" anti-microbials.  Rather, I simply increased my intake of antioxidants and fermented syntropic antioxidant microbial brews (SAM) (a powerful live-food nutritional supplement), since the toxins produced by the bacteria in such abscessed dead roots are highly oxidative in nature.

Finally, when the abscess had persisted for five days non-stop, I intuitively picked from the web (from the many tens of thousands of energy healers available) the best energy healer for the "problem", and ended up calling Ron Wilding in Australia.  While he calls his healing a type of "spiritual healing", it is apparent that there is a strong energy component to it as well (in contrast, for example to my healing method or the Joel Goldsmith method), and I somehow felt and "knew" that this was what was needed at the moment....

Well, I called Ron the same evening that I had been guided to pick him; he charged me $40 (USD) for an absent healing, and the effect was strongly apparent within a few hours; the sizeable abscess was totally gone within 32 hours. The degree of relief and healing was even greater than that of some dental healing work done for me in the past by two other energy healer friends of mine. I strongly recommend Ron Wilding.  Ron's website may be found at http://absenthealing.com/index.html  and his number is 1-800-645-2870.

Spiritual Healing with Vinny Pinto
The Divine-Heart website - at http://www.divine-heart.org - shares information about the heart-centered spiritual healing work of Vinny Pinto.  This work involves no contact (called "non-contact" non-local, or remote healing) and is done remotely.  It may seem odd that Vinny, who has trained as a scientist and researcher (and also as an electronics engineer) would also offer spiritual healing, but he has been a lifelong mystic and spiritual student, and also has a very strong training background in acupuncture and energy healing.  However, he now offers only non-contact healing, and feels that it is this work (far more than his research work or raw foods educational work) which most "makes his heart sing".

Consulting, R&D and Prototype Development in Subtle Energy or Quantum Effects Realm -- The Coherent Space Quantum Coherence Website -- I happen to have a strong background in the sciences and in engineering and physics, and I have for many years performed research and development (R&D) work in several realms often subsumed under the term "subtle energies" or "subtle quantum effects", and particularly in the realm of technologies which appear to protect people and animals (and sensitive electronic equipment) against some of the harmful effects of EMF radiation produced by the modern power grid and also emitted by manmade electrical and electronic devices. 

Pam Clements, Remote Energy Healer
Since I'm a spiritual healer & researcher, folks often ask me to recommend remote healers for them. While I know many remote healers, there are few whom I ever recommend to others. One of the very few remote healers whom I ever recommend is my colleague Pam Clements, a remote energy healer who resides in western Michigan.

Other Healing and Spiritual Growth Resources

Cellular Memory Healing with Deborah Carroll: Choosing Love
My friend Deborah Carroll offers a type of healing called Cellular Memory Healing, based upon her lengthy training with Marcus Daniels, founder of Cellular Memory Healing, and she combines this with her extensive background in Tantric awareness and healing. Much of her work is about simply being able to "be with" or be present in a loving way with inner painful or "distasteful" memories and emotions, allowing them to self-heal and allowing the client to break the somewhat vicious cycle of repeated repression/suppression of memories and feelings.  Deborah's work may be done either in person or via phone. Her website may be found at: http://www.choosinglove.com/

Deborah writes in part of her Cellular Memory Healing work on her website:

"...Cellular Memory Healing is a spiritual practice that focuses on being human, and learning how to love every aspect of our self, and others. Our moment to moment presence is chosen, while we feel and receive whatever feeling is present for us in the present moment. With practice we learn how to dwell in our human heart, and be more conscious of how we feel in our physical body. It is a common habit for most people, to be more mentally focused, or to be slightly removed from their presence by having their awareness in a trance state."

"By learning how different aspects of our spirit move and connect within us, we learn subtle ways of choosing to be more aware of the feelings that are waiting to be noticed and expressed from within us, to share outwardly. When our inner and outer worlds are more balanced, then our self image will maintain much less of a mask to hide behind....."

The Abraham-Hicks Work -- I hesitated at first when I considered offering this link, because the material is "channeled" ("Abraham" is a collective or aggregate entity channeled by a woman named Esther Hicks), and like much channeled material, my sense is that there is indeed a bit of a stilted, and, at times, pedantic and lecturing quality to this material.  Further, I do not agree with everything which this channeled entity purportedly says. However, there is much of worth here, and notably, the work is very positive; it does not dip into all the negative warning and fear-based stuff which so much channeled material strays into...  I do believe that especially when "Abraham" talks about how we create and how we attract experiences (or even experiences of lack, pain or suffering), that "it" is touching upon some deep truths, and these are the same truths offered by HeartMath and Larry Crane's Release Technique.  Hearing these truths yet again, and with a slightly different slant, from Abraham-Hicks as well, may help some of us to "get it".  However, a word of caution: the entity ("Abraham") primarily describes the deeper reality of experience, suffering and attraction, and, unlike HeartMath and Larry Crane's tradition, does not offer particularly useful tools and methods for dissolving old patterns and creating new patterns.  For that practical piece which you can use NOW, you would likely want a system such as HeartMath and Larry Crane's method, or preferably, both.

Sungazing, aka sun gazing, solar gazing or sun staring -- Yes, staring at the sun, also known as sun gazing or solar yoga; this has been practiced throughout the ages within a number of cultures and traditions. I (the author of this site) have been sungazing since 1987.  Although this is hardly a necessary practice for spiritual growth, for some people, even a bit of sun (see the page for information on how it is done) may help to improve health and make spiritual opening easier. For more information on sungazing, including some well-known folks in the field and also the different traditions, please see the page on this website entitled Sungazing -- Observations and Notes

Sites which provide numerous links in the areas of alternative health and diet, including raw foods:  

The RawPaleoDiet website, at http://rawpaleodiet.vpinf.com - is an educational site on the Raw Paleolithic Diet.  It covers all aspects of raw foods diets which include raw animal foods, and includes a comprehensive overview of over 40 systems and books which promote such diets.  Includes a comparison of the most popular systems.

Health Shaman.com -- this site provides primarily links to other pages, organized by categories such as bodywork, chiropractors, diet, vegetarian diets, air purifiers, and not-milk sites.  This site has no content of its own, and is rather an organized index of links to other sites.  They do kindly list the HeartRelease site, and also list the Master Harpo site, along with my Raw Paleo Diet site.

The Negative Hydrogen Ion site, at http://h-minus-ion.vpinf.com , looks at a tiny ion which until recently was known only to physicists researching high-energy reactions such as those which occur in the sun, and which is now being recognized also as the most primal, primitive, primeval and primordial antioxidant for life forms on earth.  This ion is an extremely powerful nutrient which at one time was rather ubiquitous in our diet in food and water, but which has largely disappeared in the diets of modern humans .

• The Raw Paleo Diet site, at http://rawpaleodiet.vpinf.com - devoted to information on raw foods diets which include raw animal foods.

• The Negative Hydrogen Ion site, at http://h-minus-ion.vpinf.com - examines a tiny ion which until recently was known only to physicists researching high-energy reactions such as those which occur in the sun, and which is now being recognized also as the most primal, primitive, primeval and primordial antioxidant for life forms on earth.  This ion is an extremely powerful nutrient which at one time was rather ubiquitous in our diet in food and water, but which has largely disappeared in the diets of modern humans.

The creator of this site has recently started a list group devoted to coherence, especially heart coherence, incoherence, and coherence effects in the world and on human life and health.

This list group is devoted to the emerging field of coherence of consciousness and particularly heart coherence, especially the type often described by researchers at HeartMath Institute (which involves coherence of heart rate variability, or HRV) and the consciousness coherence which the Global Consciousness Project, aka GCP, is attempting to assess via use of EGG sensors employing random number generators, aka RNG, aka random event generators, aka REG.  Scope includes discussion of effects of coherence on our lives and physical reality.  Particular attention may be paid to ways and means of attaining states of inner heart coherence, sometimes measured via the emWave Desktop (previously known as emWave PC or the Freeze Framer), an investigatory  feedback device from Heart Math.  The discussion may at times embrace the concepts of recursiveness and nesting, e.g., of nested or packed information folded or embedded in certain waveforms or wave phenomena, although there has been a lot of hyperbole and half-fact extant in that area over the past few years, and the discussion may also include the occurrence of phi ratios of frequencies in examined coherence waveforms   May also include discussion of the HeartTuner, aka Heart Tuner heart feedback device and the HeartLink, aka Heart Link feedback device. Yes, discussion may involve the new PC-based biofeedback adventure game, The Wild Divine, which incorporates heart coherence detection methods licensed by HeartMath Institute.  In closing, yes, one of the fields of discussion on this Coherence list group will be syntropic antioxidative microbes (SAM) and its coherence effects.

The list group is operated by Vinny Pinto, a healer, mystic, and degreed scientist who has also trained at the graduate level in statistical methods, experimental methods, psychotherapy (clinical psychology) and acupuncture (Worsley's Five Elements system.)
