The Three Ways to Release
First Way to Release—The Kinesthetic method

Saying Yes. (1-10/yes release) Do you see you have been feeling (frustrated, angry, fear, etc)?
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most frustrated and 1 being the least frustrated (or
whatever the feeling is), where are you right now with regard to the frustration?
Can you see you have been saying No to the frustration? You don't like the frustration, you
have been saying No to it. right? So, when you say No to it, you're actually collecting it. So,
now can you say Yes to the frustration—so you can get rid of it? Say yes to frustration (yes yes
yes) Now check. On a scale of 1-10 where are you now with the frustration? See? You moved!
It went down! So that lets you know you are in the right direction—that saying Yes helps you
get rid of it. So now instead of pushing down on it, can you just invite the rest of it up? —say
yes to the remaining frustration and just let it come up and out. (Sometimes with fear you say,
just pull your shoulders back and let the fear come shooting right out.) NOTE: Check and notice
you moved—even if it is a small amount at first—it is still in a positive direction, and you're
acknowledging you're in the right direction. 2.) Letting go of unwanted energy.
Think of something that bothers you (or someone that bugs you) Put your head down, bring
your awareness to your stomach or chest and you will notice an unwanted feeling. You'll notice
a contraction in your stomach or chest. Now, open a door right over that feeling, that
contraction, wide open, and allow the energy to pass through, allow it to leave and more and
more. Now check, see if you already feel less bothered than you did 2 seconds ago? Notice the
difference?
How to be in release moment to moment 24/7.

Think of something that bothers you. Put your head down, see if there is a contraction, a
clutching, an unwanted energy in your stomach or chest. Now, open a door right over that
contraction, wide open and allow the energy to pass through, allow it to leave and more and
more. Notice the energy leaving and how it feels real nice.
Now, keep the door open, don't close it, keep the door open, keep it wide open, and you'll
notice the energy continues to move and it feels real nice, keep it open, keep letting it go and
more and more... now open your eyes but keep your awareness on the door opening, keep it
open and allow the energy to keep moving out all by itself and you notice it feels real nice,
right?
Notice that? Keep your awareness on the door and keep letting the energy pass through,
notice how it feels real nice. Now you're going to notice the radical difference. Close the door
and stop releasing. Close it up. Now what do you experience? Notice the difference, feel the
difference? Now open up. Keep it open. That is how to be in release continuously, have the door
open and allow the energy to leave. It takes practice. Just practice staying open. Open the door.
You can do it! It takes practice because in half a second we'll close down. You get distracted,
you close down. So you learn to focus on the door opening. Once you see how nice it feels and
you get used to it, you're going to notice the contraction a lot more by practicing it.
4
Second way to release. Letting go of Figuring it out. ( See Getting out of the "spin cycle" page 5
Final Step Workbook.)
Ask your mind if it knows how to...
It doesn't know, so asking something that doesn't know is like looking in an empty file
cabinet for an answer and you keep looking. Can you see how silly that is? Now your friend
your mind told you to beat yourself (or someone or something) up? How has beating up on
yourself (or someone or something) helped you resolve any situation? It hasn't helped at all, has
it? Ok, and who is doing it? You are, right? Alright, if you're doing it and it doesn't resolve the
situation, now you have a decision to make: You can be positive and love yourself (or someone
or something), or you can be negative and beat up on yourself (or someone or something) What
do you decide? (positive and love myself) Good. So, can you let go of disapproving of yourself
and more and more, etc. Now can you give yourself some approval? And more and more, etc.
Now check. Does it feel more possible or less possible to resolve the situation than it did just a
minute ago? More possible, right? Ok, good. That lets you know you are headed in the right
direction now. And the law of the universe is "positive attracts positive, and negative attracts
negative" So keep going and you'll see the results, keeping letting go of asking your mind, keep
letting go of disapproving and send approval.
Third Way to Release. Letting go Wanting Approval, Wanting Control, Wanting to be Safe
Can you let go of wanting approval, wanting control or wanting to be safe?
The Third way to release corresponds to Step Three of the Six Steps.
See all your feelings culminate in the want of approval, the want of control or the want of
safety/security. See it immediately and immediately let go of wanting approval, wanting control
or wanting to be safe.
The Third Way to Release is about making a decision. Can you let it go? It is not kinesthetic.
You don't locate a feeling in your body. It is just a decision. Can you let it go? Yes.
Some releasers may shorthand the question and say, "Is it wanting approval, control or
security?" However it's important to say, "Is it, wanting approval, wanting control or wanting to
be safe (or security)? We know want = lack. So, putting the word Lacking instead of wanting is
very effective and helps people discriminate. Could you let go of the lacking approval feeling?
Could you let go of the lacking control, out of control feeling? Could you let go of the lacking
security feeling? There is nothing wrong with having approval, having control or having
security. It is the wanting/lacking approval, wanting/lacking control or wanting/lacking safety
that is off. (This corresponds to the First Step of the Six Steps, I must want Imperturbability
more than I want approval, want control or want to be safe.)
When you ask someone if they can let go of wanting control, the lacking control, out of
control feeling? (for example), and they say, "Yes," ask them to check, do you feel more in
control than you did 2 seconds ago? They will say yes, and you say, "Notice when you let go of
wanting control (or the lacking control, out of control feeling), you immediately feel more in
control ( or safe or approved of)- Releasing is instantaneously provable.
5
Remember...
All three ways to release are effective. Each has its place in your Releasing arsenal. The most
effective of the Three Ways to Release is the Third Way to Release called Letting go of the
wants (wanting approval, wanting control, wanting to be safe). Sometimes Releasers get
confused and think they have to put their head down and find the energy in their body when they
are using the Third Way to Release. Not so. The Third Way to Release does not involve a
feeling in the body. The Third Way to Release is just a decision. Is it wanting approval, wanting
control, wanting to be safe? Can you let it go? Yes. It's just that simple. The Third Way to
Release corresponds to The Third Step of the Six Steps. Immediately see the want of approval,
want of control and want to be safe and immediately let it go.
And Remember...
Wanting Approval is a Lacking Approval feeling
Wanting Control is a Lacking, Out of Control feeling
Wanting Safety is a Lacking Safety Feeling.

How to do the Attachments and Aversions Exercises
The Attachments and Aversions Exercise is a very powerful method on the road to Freedom. It digs up
subconscious feelings so we can Release them.
An Attachment is a desire to have something.
An Aversion is a desire to get that thing away from me.
The Attachments and Aversions Exercise is divided into three sections.
The Top Section is called the Stream of Consciousness. You ask, "What is your first thought or
feeling about...(the subject of your exercise)?" Example: Being Free.
Just let your mind think of things, about the attachment. Whatever comes up, write it down.
Asking the question stirs up the subconscious mind and you will begin to see answers. Example: "If
I'm Free I have everything I want."
You bring the answer to wanting approval, wanting control, wanting to be safe and you let go of
whichever want (or wants) it is. Sometimes there is more than one want. Sometimes it's all three. You
take the strongest want to release first.
Once you've let go of the lacking feelings, you ask again, "What is your next thought or feeling
about...(the subject of your exercise)" and release. You continue asking and releasing until your mind
seems quiet on the subject.
Then you move to the Second Section of the exercise, Advantages and Disadvantages.
On the topic you're Releasing on, you ask, "What is the Advantage of (blank). Once the answer is
given, you ask "Is that wanting approval, wanting control, wanting to be safe and you let go of
whichever want (or wants) it is.
Then you ask, " What is the Disadvantage of (blank). Once the answer is given you ask, "Is that
wanting approval, wanting control, wanting to be safe and you let go of whichever want (or wants) it is.
You keep going back and forth of Advantages and Disadvantages until your mind quiets and there
aren't anymore Advantages or Disadvantages coming up.
Then, you go to the Third Section of the exercise. This Section is called the "Squeeze the Lemon"
section. It is so called because in this section we want to squeeze out any more subconscious feelings we
have on the subject we're working on.
We say, "Imagine never, ever having (blank).
We use the First Way to Release—the Kinesthetic method—and we put our head down and look for
any unwanted energy in our stomach or chest. We open up the door over that energy and we let it pass
through. The energy wants to leave so we just let it leave.
We repeat "Imagine never, ever having (blank)" two or three times and we repeat the procedure above.
Remember we are trying to squeeze out any remaining energy on the topic we're releasing on.
Next we ask, "Can you let go of your entire Attachment to (blank)? If you can't say, "Yes," 100%
there is still some unwanted energy in your stomach or chest. Open up and allow it to pass through. We
repeat this two or three times or more until we can say, "Yes" 100% without any clutching or resistance
coming up.
We then move to the Aversion side and we repeat the exact same procedure with a few exceptions.
We say "Like and Dislike" rather than "Advantages and Disadvantages."
When we Squeeze the Lemon we say, "Imagine Always having (blank)."
7
And, we say, "Can you let of your entire Aversion to (blank)," etc.
A few notes on doing the Attachments and Aversion Exercise...

When you go to the Aversion side, just ignore the word Aversion and start right in with, "What's your
first thought or feeling about (blank)?" (Having the need to use the word Aversion throws most people
into figuring it out and it is not necessary
When you do the Stream of Consciousness section list and release on one item (thought or feeling) at
a time. Resist any temptation (or advice from a partner) to make a list and then go back and release on
each item. The exercise is designed to bring up the subconscious thoughts/feelings one at a time and let
them go immediately as you see them. Don't let them get further than your nose.
Should you write the thoughts and feelings down or should you just do the exercise in your head?
Writing is preferable. When you write the items, you are involving the tactile and the visual senses,
seeing and writing, in addition to the auditory sense. Most people find writing the thoughts or feelings to
be the most effective.
Important: Notice what comes up for you during an Attachment and Aversion exercise.
When you do Attachments and Aversions, thoughts and feelings come up for release. That's the
purpose of the exercise. When you notice a certain thought or feeling coming up over and over again
during the exercise, that tells you that you should do an Attachments and Aversions exercise on that
recurring thought or feeling. These recurring thoughts and feelings are a gift for you because they have
been suppressed a long time and are now up for release. Notice them. Write them down as you are doing
the exercise. Come back to them later and do Attachments and Aversions on the recurring thoughts and
feelings. This is the way to get full benefit from the Attachments and Aversions exercise.
8
Releasing with a Partner
First of all, when you and your partner write and release on each thought or feeling that comes up
(whether it be your thought/feeling or your partner's thought or feeling), you are multiplying the value
of the exercise. ''Piggybacking," and releasing on whatever feelings that may come up for you when
your partner responds.
Remember, one thought or feeling at a time. Release the thoughts and feelings one at a time as they
come up rather than making a list and then releasing.
Ping pong back and forth with your partner. When you come to Advantages and Disadvantages or
Likes and Dislikes, each partner releases on the Advantage (or Like) and then the same person releases
on the adjacent Disadvantage or (Dislike) before ping ponging over to the partner.

Basics of Lesterizing Exercise
Lesterizing is based on two important messages Lester gave us.
1. Get high to Release. "From the high place, look down on the garbage and let it up and out."
2. Hold in mind what you want. "Hold in Mind what you want and that is what you will be getting
all the time," says Lester in Willpower.
Here are the steps in Lesterizing. holding in mind what you want and releasing feelings to the
contrary.
Decide, and get into CAR Remember, it's a decision. Imagine if Steven Spielberg offered you a $10
million contract to play the role of CAR you would find a way to demonstrate it quickly.
Welcome the feeling of Having.. .Hold in mind what you want. "See it, feel it, touch it, as if it's yours
now," said Lester.
Let the Having feelings go.
Look down in the garbage pail and see the negative thoughts and feelings that say, "I can't. I can't do
it, I can't have it."
Look for the worst feelings that you are trying to avoid by achieving the goal. Look for the worst thing
that can happen if you don't succeed. Also, look for the worst thing that can happen if you do succeed.
These are the thoughts and feelings you have been holding in mind. They do not help you. do they?
Let go of any thoughts or feelings; bring them to wanting approval, wanting control and wanting to be
safe and let them go. Keep letting them go. When there are no more thoughts or feelings, evaporate and
dissolve the remaining negative picture, or feelings. Let it go.
Then, go back and hold in mind what you want with as much detail and feelings as possible. See it,
feel it, touch it as if it's yours right now. Look for any wanting approval, wanting control and wanting to
be safe and let them go.
Move yourself up to the highest state of peace with the picture (I am-I am whole, complete, total unto
my Self. Everyone and everything is part of my Self. It is all perfect). From this high state, shower the
picture with approval.
Then, allow the positive picture and feelings to evaporate and dissolve.
Hold in mind. "I have it."
You may go back and forth between the "Having" feeling and the aversion feeling several times.
Always evaporate and dissolve the having picture before going on to the Aversion picture/feelings and
then evaporate the Aversion picture/feelings before going back to Holding in mind what you want, the
Having feelings.
Always end the exercise with Holding in mind what you want, the Having thoughts/feelings. And, let
them evaporate and dissolve.
10
What is a Clean-Up and How to Do It
A clean up is just what it says. During our day, unless we are totally awake and releasing all the time,
we can pick up some AGFLAP. The Clean Up clears the AGFLAP, it "cleans it up," and quiets the mind.
We begin each releasing session with a basic Clean Up.
How to do a basic Clean up. (Quiet the mind)

Look for any inner disturbance, any mental noise, mental chattering, anything you're bothered or
bugged about.
Use the first way to release. Put your head down, notice the clutching or contraction, the
unwanted energy in your stomach or chest. Open up a door over that energy and let it pass through
and more and more until it's clear.
Then, ask yourself if you've been into figuring anything out or asking your mind how to resolve
something going on in your life. Use the Second Way to Release as described earlier in this guide.
When you have finished the Second Way to Release, move on to the Third Way to Release. Ask
yourself if you have any wanting/lacking approval feelings and let them go. See if you have any
lacking, out of control feelings and let them go. See if you have any wanting/lacking safety or
security feelings and let them go.
Keep releasing until any wanting/lacking feelings have subsided and your mind is quiet.
A Clean-Up should also be used after a releasing session particularly when the releasing has stirred up
resistance or especially energized thoughts or feelings. Follow the same basic clean up procedure
described above.
The General Release Questions
The General Release Questions may also be used for a Clean Up.
Use the General Release Questions 20 times a day. Soon you will have them memorized and they will
serve you in two ways: You will be discriminating all the time and you will be releasing all the time. The
General Release Questions take you off automatic.
1. Who or what are you afraid of right now?
2. Who or what do you want to control right now?
3. Whose approval do you want right now?
4. Who or what do you feel insecure about right now?
5. Who or what do you want to be separate from right now?
6. What is the worst thing that can happen right now?
7. Who or what are you resisting right now?
8. Can you let go of protecting yourself with fear?
9. Can you let go of being so smart and allow it to be other than you think it is?

Fast Steps to Freedom
• Get everything only by releasing

• Practice witnessing things more while releasing
• Take responsibility for everything
• Take all your joy from within
• Be all giving
• Be Yourself
There is only one single growth and that is letting go of the ego. The ego thinks and causes all thought.
The more we're looking into the mind and releasing, the quieter we become.

Freedom
It isn't that you don't want to be free. It is that you have more
interest in other things. Other things are more important to you.
either consciously or subconsciously.
With that in mind, ask yourself what it is that you want more
than you want freedom.
Make lists of those things and do the writing/releasing exercise

on each item. You will know when you are totally released on it
because it will be all right with you either way, whether you
have the thing or not.
When you have released a thing totally, you will be that much
freer to move on to greater and greater freedom.
Ask yourself:
What do I want more than I want freedom?

What people?
What relationships?
What accomplishments?
What experiences?
18
List the things you want more than Freedom (accomplishments, people in your life/out of
your life, things).
Bring to the Wanting feeling and release. Could you let go of desire of the thing and allow
everything to be even better?

Pride Exercises
The Abundance Course Workbook is a goldmine for releasers aiming for Total Freedom and
Imperturbability! Here's more on how to use its exercises to dig deeper.
Pride exercises from the Abundance Course
Larry Crane asks all his Teachers to do the Pride exercises—"Releasing Pride Sheet" and
"Digging Deeper" questions—at least once a week, as well as during their teaching time.
Why? Ego/Mind hides loads of disapproving (negative) energy here! And because Pride is a set
of higher emotions compared to the rest of AGFLAP, we don't pay attention to the quality of that
energy. We feel strong and powerful compared to those in AGLAP, so we don't notice the negativity
we are holding onto.
Just look at the Chart of Emotions and the Pride page ("Pride Results in ...") to see words like
"complaining," "critical," "contempt," "prejudice" and others. If you express these in
thoughts/thinking, behavior and the like— aren't you really disapproving of something or someone?
Watch for it!
Example:
Who/What am I about? Complete the question with a Pride word. Release each
answer at the Want.
Exercise:
Do the "Digging Deeper" page questions, THEN add all the Pride words on the Chart of Emotions
and from the "Pride Results In" page of the Abundance Course Workbook, and do it again! And
again, and again.
72

Pride Awareness Exercise
O p e n y o u r a w a r e n e s s to h o w E g o has b e e n k e e p i n g you on automatic, as you e x p e r i e n c e this h o n e s t

introspection
How I am a [Hypocrite]
a. List how you are [ Pride word ], identify the Want and release the Want.
Examples:
• I am a hypocrite because ... I gossip (criticize, disapprove) and say I never do.
• I am a hypocrite because ... I say I see everyone as Perfect, but I really don't, etc
b. Now turn each "I am a hypocrite because..." statement around so you come from Beingness,
from Infinite Allness. List your new creations and release at the Want level.
Examples:
• I come from Beingness and send only Love and Approval.
• More and more I am seeing the Perfection around me.
c. Now also try this exercise with other Pride words in the chart.
***When you have recognized and taken responsibility for the Pride, bring it to WA, WC, WS and
let it go. Look for clutching and let that go.
74
Pride Thought/Thinking Exercise
"Every thought is a limitation," said Lester.
Another powerful Pride release exercise is to simply get as quiet as you can, and then write each
and every thought that comes to mind as you sit quietly, without releasing (yet!).
Do the writing! Do this for 20 or 30 minutes. Write every odd thought or phrase without editing or
interpreting at this time.
Next, go back to the first thought. Read it. Identify where or how this thought stems
from disapproval, criticism, judgment, I'm better, Look at me—a Pride word. Notice that
these are Pride words/feelings! Notice how EVERY thought has this energy in it!
***When you have recognized and taken responsibility for that Pride, bring it to WA,
WC, WS and let it go. Look for clutching and let that go.
Notice how quiet the mind gets as you work through all those thoughts and do the
releasing.
A version of this is to write everything that comes to mind around a single topic, rather than a
stream of consciousness.
75
Describe your Persona (personality, character traits) in the 3rd person; bring each trait to the
Want and release.

DROPPING THE MIND
The greatest thing, and the most difficult thing we have to do is to drop the mind. It's a
junkyard full of refuse from the ages past; refuse of thoughts of limitations—I am a limited
body, I have troubles. All thoughts contain limitation. We pile them up in the thing we call
mind. Mind is nothing but the total accumulation of all these thoughts. So mind is kind of a
junkyard of limitation.
All right, so how do we get rid of the mind? By quieting it. When we quiet the mind we
discover our infinity. The more we see our limitlessness, the more we recognize that
junkyard called mind, and the more we let go of it. We let go of it until we go so far that we
drop the whole remaining mind at one time. However, before that, we keep battling the
thoughts as they come up. As the thoughts come up, we let go, let go, let go, until we let go
of enough of them so that the Self that we are is obvious. Then it takes over and takes us all
the way. The greatest thing is quieting the mind, which is eliminating the mind.
Constant releasing is a necessary step in quieting the mind. This is the major point I am
addressing. Release. Learn how to release consistently and in that state learn how to quiet
your mind totally. The deeper one goes the more one discovers the innate joys to which
there are no limits. No matter how joyful you get you can always go further. If you were a
thousand times more joyful than you are now, you could still go on and on . . . joy is
unlimited because you are infinite.
But, the major thing to accomplish is the ability to control the mind, to release. To drop
into peace at will. A person can control a whole nation and if they cannot control their own
mind, what kind of control have they got? They are a victim of their own mind. Rather than
being free in control over their thoughts, they are actually pushed around by past habits.
They are no Master. Only the ones who can control their mind is a Master. A Master not
only of themselves, but of anything and everything they do. Releasing is the way.
