So often we believe love comes from others. We believe if we act a certain way and do or not do something will cause others to respond by loving us. We have the ability, right in this moment, to connect with the wonderful, amazing power of LOVE! This amazing power is abundantly available and the most important and valuable gift that we can give to ourselves. We don't have to do anything for love except recognize where real love comes from. Real love comes from you! Real love is what we do when we are taking care of ourselves. If we can't accept this right now in this moment, we are spending our time looking for love where it isn't. Love isn't an option like a commodity on the stock exchange or an item you include on your grocery list. Love isn't a deal. Love is none of these things.
通常，我們認為愛來自別人。我們相信，假如按照某種特定的方式生活、做或者不做某事，就能夠讓別人用愛來回應我們。實際上我們擁有這種能力，就在此刻、就在當下，去和“愛”那美妙的、驚人的力量連結！這驚人的能量取之不盡、用之不竭，是我們能夠給自己最重要也是最珍貴的禮物。想要愛我們不必做任何事，只要認識到真正的愛的來源即可。真正的愛源於你自己！當我們關愛自己時，真愛才會生起。如果我們無法現在、當下就明白這個道理，那麼我們只是在別的地方尋尋覓覓，而愛根本就不在那些地方。愛不是證券交易所的買賣，也無法被列入購物單。愛不是交易。愛與這些東西毫無關係。
Love is a wonderful, healthy ability to be in courageousness, acceptance and peace with our Self. Love is, and always will be, the most powerful energy in the universe. When we love ourselves, we are calmer, happier, confident and more secure . When loving, we are considerate and much gentler in the way we approach people and situations. To prove this, take a moment and think of someone or something that you love. Think of a special someone, or perhaps an animal, a favorite location , or maybe even something like a hobby such as painting or fishing. Did you notice no one gave you anything? You weren't rewarded with anything other than the feeling of what is inside of you. Therefore, the love you are looking for isn 't in people, places or things. It's in how we feel about these matters that count.
愛是一種健康美妙的能力，使我們能夠勇敢、開放、寧靜地生活。過去、現在以及未來，愛都是宇宙間最強大的能量。當我們愛自己時，我們更加平靜、快樂、自信，也感到更加安全。當我們處於愛之中，我們待人接物會變得細心周全，也更加溫柔有禮。為了證明這點，花點時間想想你愛的某人或者某物。想想那個特別的人，抑或是某隻寵物，你最喜歡的地方，甚至也可能是你的某樣興趣愛好，像繪畫或者釣魚。其實並沒有人給你什麼，你發現了嗎？你也沒有獲得任何東西，除了你自己心裡的感受。所以，你尋找的愛不在其他人身上，也不在其它任何地方或東西里。愛恰恰在於我們對這些人事物的感受裡。
Now take a moment and see if you have a similar feeling of love towards yourself. If yes, well that's terrific! If no, then perhaps now would be a good time to realize that if you aren't feeling good or loving towards yourself, well then maybe it's time to change what you are holding in mind. If you aren't feeling good about the person in the mirror, trust that no one outside of you can give you what you are lacking. Hopefully you've also noticed, that when feeling dislike or disapproval that these feelings also came from within you. Knowing this, may help you to see that the feeling of dislike is what is preventing us from enjoying being in your own company.
現在，花一點時間看看你是否對自己懷著類似於愛的感受？如果是的，那就太棒了！如果不是，那麼現在可能是一個很好的時機去認識自己——假如你對自己感覺不好或者沒有對自己懷著愛，那麼你該改變下心裡一直執著的東西了。如果你對鏡子裡的那個人感覺不佳，相信吧，除了你自己外沒有人能給你你匱乏的東西。令人欣慰的是，你同時也意識到，不喜歡或否定的感受也源於你的內在。知道這點或許能幫你了解，那種不喜歡的感受阻礙我們與自己愉快相處。
When we don't like how we feel, we have a tendency to cover up those not-so-good feelings with things like overeating, spending too much time in bed (on the internet / on the phone, etc.), complaining, escaping, reaching for a cigarette or a cocktail (other unhealthy substance). Some folks think that shopping will fix the blahs. Although this is fun and enjoyable activity, if we are overspending or consoling ourselves with things, this activity is no longer a creative outlet. Overspending becomes another escape and is both destructive and abusive behavior. The overspending habit, whether online or at the mall is an indication that we aren't acting in a loving way towards ourselves. Competing with the Jones' also never makes us feel better.
當我們不喜歡自己的感受時，我們傾向於掩蓋它們，用什麼掩蓋呢？用暴飲暴食、泡在床上（或者網上/電話上之類的）、怨天尤人、逃避躲避、抽煙喝酒（或者其它不健康的東西）。有些人認為購物能填補空虛。雖然這是件好玩又愉快的事兒，但如果我們過度消費或用物質來安慰自己，那麼購物就不再是件具有創造力的事兒了。過度消費變成另一種逃避方式，是具有毀滅性、傷害性的行為。過度消費的習慣，無論是網購或在商場購物，都顯示了我們沒有在愛自己。和別人攀比也永遠不能讓我們好受。
Understanding what real love is, and “how to have it” becomes apparent to each of us the more we work with the Release Technique exercises. This work has us prove to ourselves that we can rely on our own good judgment. The method proves itself each time we challenge ourselves to participate in an exercise, teleconference, workshop or retreat. This work helps us to become aware of our own limiting excuses by showing us “how to” identify what we are holding in mind. When we take 100% responsibility for our feelings and circumstances, we instantly move into a more powerful and loving position.
我們每個人釋放得越多，對真愛的理解，以及“怎樣獲得真愛”會變得越清晰。釋放法向我們證明了我們的判斷並沒有錯。每一次我們挑戰自己去做釋放練習、參加遠程會議、參加研討會或休養班的時候，釋放法都向我們證明了它的效用與優越。這一方法幫助我們覺察到自己意識中的限制性藉口，教我們“如何”看到大腦中執著不放的東西。當我們為自己的感受、處境百分之百負責時，我們立即提升至更有力量、更富愛心的境地。
By taking responsibility, and recognizing that we are the only ones complicating our lives, allows us to make better choices. Therefore, if we did it, we can undo it by loving ourselves. By identifying with the love that is already available and within each of us, helps us to feel better. Love is being positive. Whenever we are looking to get rid of something is an aversion (ie excess weight, debt, health issues, etc.), we are holding onto the problem instead of moving towards the resolution of the problem. By loving what we have created, we are demonstrating that we are willing to move on. We are willing to have a different outcome.
通過承擔責任，以及覺悟到我們自己才是真正攪亂生活的罪魁禍首，使我們做出更好的選擇。因而，多於無法挽回的過去，我們能夠在當下通過對自己的愛來化解。通過認同早已埋藏於心中的愛，能讓我們感覺更好。愛就意味著變成積極正面的。每當我們期盼著幹掉一些厭惡的事物（比如多餘的體重、債務或者健康問題，等等），說明我們正執著於問題本身、卡在問題上，而不是為解決這一問題而努力。通過愛我們所創造出來的一切，我們表達了願意繼續前進的決心。我們決心去擁有一個截然不同的結果。
The only way to overcome an unwanted situation is to “love it fully!” Lester Levenson says, “When the love is complete, the problem will immediately dissolve!” The problem dissolves because we made a decision to be at peace with the situation and released our non-loving thoughts and feelings in relation to the story. Our ability to discriminate is moving into courageousness. Then we decide to be at peace or hootless about a situation, we are locking Step No. 1 of the method into place. We are also declaring “Nothing is going to stop me for achieving my goal!” By letting go of being stuck in fear or resistance helps us to take ownership of the matter. We are moving towards the aversion. Each time we move towards an aversion, fear or resistance, we are strengthening our desire for FREEDOM and eliminating more of the perceived hold that our ego has over us. By moving up and letting go of 'wanting to change' and 'wanting to figuring-things-out,' instantly moves us into acceptance. In acceptance, we realize that there is nothing to change. When we let go of wanting (approval, control or safety/security), we are letting go of lack. Each time we release, we are moving into harmony and into the power of love.
克服逆境的唯一方法是“全然地愛它”！萊斯特·利文森說：“若你全心全意地愛，問題就會立即消融！”問題會消融是因為我們作出了決定，決心與當下的境遇和平相處，同時釋放掉與此境遇相關的非愛的想法與感受。我們意識中的評判開始變成了勇氣。然後我們決定對某一境遇平心以對，不再抱怨，這樣我們就鎖定了釋放法六步驟中的第一步（Want freedom more than anything else. 想要自由高於其他的一切）。我們也宣布：“沒有什麼能夠阻止我達成目標！”通過釋放卡在恐懼或抗拒中的感受，也有助於我們掌握事情的主動權。我們正向厭惡的事物進軍。每次我們靠近一件厭惡的東西，恐懼或抗拒，都會加強對自由的渴望，同時也消除更多小我執著不放的觀念。通過向上提升以及釋放掉“想要改變”、“想要弄清楚搞明白”的想法，我們就立即進入了“全然接納”的階段。在“全然接納”的階段，我們會意識到根本沒有任何東西需要改變，一切都好。當我們釋放掉“想要”（認同、掌控與安全），我們就釋放掉了匱乏。每次釋放都讓我們進入圓融無礙的境地，並獲得愛的力量。
