This podcast will take us on the Journey of Releasing. It will show us how to release and let go of painful feelings and difficult memories, which cause so much stress and obstacles in our lives. As we do so, clarity and insight comes naturally, our vistas are widened and many new possibilities appear in our lives. Not only can health and well being be restored, but all our relationships uplifted.Based upon the teachings of Lester Levenson, an original teacher of mine, we will see how our lives can be brought back into a natural rhythm and balance as we stop grasping and clinging to our pain.This wonderful practice offers a New Direction in life. It eliminates struggle, as we learn to welcome goodness and love. In this process, we are giving ourselves an Invitation to Live and to Love.
