About the Author

Hale Dwoskinis the CEO and Director of Training of Sedona Training Associates, an organization headquartered in Arizona that he co-founded in 1996 to teach courses based on the Sedona Method and other mental and emotional releasing techniques originated by his mentor Lester Levenson. For the last quarter century, he has been regularly teaching the Sedona Method to individuals and at corporations throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, and leading instructor training and advanced retreats since the early 1990's.

Lester Levenson was a man who mastered life's greatest challenge. In 1952 at age 42, Lester, a physicist and successful entrepreneur, was at the pinnacle of worldly success, yet he was an unhappy and very unhealthy man. So unhealthy that after having a second coronary, his doctors sent him home to his ritzy Central Park South Penthouse apartment in New York City, to die. Lester was a man who loved challenges, so instead of giving up, he decided to go back to the lab within himself and find some answers. Because of Lester's determination and concentration, he was able to cut through his conscious mind to find all the answers. What he found was the ultimate tool for personal growth - a way of letting go of all inner limitations. Lester was so excited by his discovery that he used it intensively on himself for a period of three months. At the end of that period, his body became totally healthy again and he entered a state of profound peace that he never left through the day he died on January 18, 1994. After Lester's awakening, he dedicated the remaining 42 years of his life helping others discover what he had discovered including inspiring the creation of the world renowned Sedona Method Course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happiness Is Free: And It's Easier Than You Think!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2002
Verified Purchase
It is not often that a book comes along that carries a message that rings with the truth from the universal source. This book easily and comfortably shows the reader how to go to the depths of one's beingness, the place from which springs eternal peace. I am a practicing psychologist, and have learned to use this approach for myself, and for most of my clients. I have never seen such rapid, deep, and pervasive shifts in my clients and myself, as I have seen by using this method. I have used many techniques over the past 30 years; I always come back to this one. There is no need to do what I call "psycho-archeological digs" into one's past to attain that which is available to all of us now, in the present moment. If you have not read this book, I suggest you do so at your first opportunity. Whether you're a healing professional, a business person, a student, a housewife, a very curious teenager, or anyone else whom I can or can't think of--purchase this book now, sit down, and read yourself into a state of peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Happiness Real
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2002
Verified Purchase
While I am a spiritually-oriented psychotherapist whose middle name is "Personal Growth," I realized reading this book that the words "happiness," "peace" and "joy" are still somewhat ideal abstractions for me-or, worse-Hallmark fare. It is a tribute to the Dwoskin/Levenson material that halfway through the book, I thought: Happiness is Real...Peace and Joy is Real-and I have been making it harder than it is.
Many of us know by now that True Self is good-Ego is not so good. This is the first book I've seen that addresses this without veering into the too abstract or too conventional. Thinking about Ego in terms of our addiction to Problem and it's flipside, Problem-Solving, was illuminating to me, and seems to hold the key for achieving the ever-illusive state of relaxation that seems to be the background problem for all of us.
Rarely does a book offer such a user-friendly "how-to," in the dismantling-the-ego-department. I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but the material shared here, from what the authors call The Sedona Method, truly operationalizes happiness. To me this is genius.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Seven Week Program to Help Attain Happiness
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2005
Verified Purchase
This is Book 1 of what is advertised as a 5 book series, but I haven't come across the other titles. The authors are pioneers of The Sedona Method for releasing feelings as a means of attaining peace. This book contains 7 chapters that are designed to be read on a weekly basis, with blank pages for notes and observations between each chapter. There is some good advice in this book, that should fit pretty well into many belief systems. Although much of the book can be described as monotheistic, the philosophy is fairly inclusive. Some of the terminology is a bit dated, since the book is based on workshops that Lester Levinson conducted around 30 years ago. If you want a more comprehensive approach to this topic, you might explore the book, The Sedona Method, by the same authors.

I have completed the Sedona Method, so I had a little background before reading the first volume of Happiness.The book is easy to read, the concepts laid out are easy to grasp. I look forward to reading the other volumes.

I continue to be very impressed with all things relating to the Sedona Method. I found this far more helpful to actually evolve than The Power Of Now.

If you are like me I didn't really know what happiness is, I thought I did but I listened to too many other's and found out they were not really happy either, I can't say I am that happy now but I am finding my way, it take's some work to get there, letting go of things you have thought for most of your life sure can mess you up but only you can find the answers and putting them to work is something only you can do and it is well worth every minute of it.

I‘ ve already read and applied the Sedona Method (by the same author) and I got this book as an additional study about releasing unwanted energies and emotions. I‘ ve learned so much from this book (about love and giving), I can only recommend it as a guide for your own spiritual journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars 英語だけが難、だけど貴重な本。
Reviewed in Japan on December 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
英語が難だったけど、レスターの本に興味があったから購入しました。実はインターネットでこの本の原文は公開されています。KEYS TO THE ULTIMATE FREEDOMという本のkndle版。

リリーステクニックのことはあまり書いてなく、let it goとかで表現されています。どのように神意識を実現するのかとか。結構究極的なことを実現するためのことが、多くを占めて書いてあって、あまり実用的なことは書いてないかも知れないです。

実用的なことと言えば、
今ある問題を自分の心に問うことで、無意識にある思いが意識にぴこーんと浮かび上がってきて、それでブロックが取れて良いことが現実化する、とか書いてあります。

ただ、主眼が、どのようにして究極的な自由を手にするかという、目的地にたどり着くことを重点に置いて書かれている本で、あんまりプロセスを楽しみながら行こうという本ではないです。

神意識を実現するプロセスはすごく遠そうで大変そうなので、自分としては、もっと自然で直接Selfにタッチできる、非二元やゾクチェン、あるいは、あるがままの教え、パワーオブナウなどのほうが、楽しく歩いていけると思います。
自分で、吟味して、使える部分だけ参考にするのが良い本だと思います。かなり合う合わないはあると思います。

レスターのリリースの方法だけだったら、正直ネットに書いてあることで十分いけます。ただ、神意識の究極的なところが書いてあり、これ以外にいまだその事が書いてある本に出会ったことがない自分としては、レスターの本はかけがえのない本です。邦訳してくれたら良いと思うけど、あまり一般に出るべき情報でないことも書いてあるので悩ましいところです。

Lester Levenson est la sagesse même et ce qu'il dit nous résonne au plus profond de nous-mêmes. De l'Amour, la fin de la Peur, et nous nous rapprochons du bonheur, voilà le résumé que j'en ferais, mais c'est mieux dit dans le livre....
