This book presents the answer to all problems. The described "Release Technique" was discovered by Lester Levenson, who, when told by his doctor he had at most 2-3 weeks left to live, found and started working with the technique. His body gradually healed and everything in his life began to work perfectly. He lived to a ripe old age and never saw a doctor again.

The book explains what love really is. It is an extremely inspiring book. When reading the first chapters and practising the simple technique, you will begin to feel better and better. The various parts of my body began to itch, as the love and approval I was sending to it and everything began to do its work and heal my various physical complaints. (Itching for me is a sign of healing. I feel the itching right now as I'm writing this.)

This may be one of the few books you really need to read in your life. You can apply the technique to physical, relationship, financial problems and so on and so forth. All will be healed, according to Larry Crane. And I do believe him, since love is the most powerful force in the universe, presumably in all universes.

There are several things you need to do. You need to "stop beating yourself up", let go of your disapproval of yourself, your ailments and everything about yourself, and then give yourself continual approval and love. You need to stop criticizing others, release your disapproval of them and then send them love and approval. People will immediately begin to treat you in a much better way.

In the course of reading this book, I finally got what Abraham (as channelled by Esther Hicks) means by "letting go of resistance". Abraham didn't really explain how to do this so I could understand it. But when letting go of disapproval as explained in this book and sending lots of love and approval to myself, everyone and everything, I could for the first time FEEL that I was letting go of resistance. So the teachings of Abraham and of Larry Crane/Lester Levenson formed a synthesis for me.

I must warn you that in order to get this method to continue to work, you will probably have to keep doing it, keep loving yourself, everybody and everything for the rest of your life! But imagine the wonderful rewards you will reap.

I've only been practising this technique for a few days, but I've begun to feel better, and those around me have become more helpful towards me. When applying for help from my town council, I was told that there would be a period of about 4 weeks before the application would be dealt with. But when waiting for an hour to see an employee about my problem, I used the technique. And in fact I was granted special permission to go ahead with what I needed to do, and the application was then dealt with in a couple of days. Other little things have been working out perfectly too.

It is true, as some reviewers complain, that the book is repetitive in places, and not a literary work of art. But the repetition is deliberate, as is in fact stated. The book is speckled with success stories written by those miraculously healed of their various ailments and problems after using the method. I understand these accounts. I feel different inside.

To sum up, I would reiterate that this is an inspiring and enlightening book, and perhaps one of the few books you really need to read in your entire life. I regard my finding this book as a reward to myself for all the work I've done trying to heal myself and solve my various problems. Those critical reviewers have missed the point of the book, and should re-read it with their focus on trying to take in its valuable and life-saving message. It's a wonderful book, which everyone should read! ( )
