Howard Lee is one of the few truly transcendent healers of our times, an active representative of a remarkable new healing energy capable of generating not only rapid physical recovery, but also deep emotional and spiritual transformations. For any of us to receive energetic healing through him is a genuine blessing.

A Chinese proverb says: a sifu for a day is equivalent to a father for a lifetime. Howard Lee is that kind of sifu: a teacher and a guide towards the Light. His extraordinary dominion over the nuances of energy uses and maneuvering makes him into a most respected and admired practitioner of the art of dealing with energy. I am proud to have been one of his students.

Carlos Castaneda
Author of The teachings of Don Juan

What was profound was the fact that not even all the skepticism and materialism of this world can stop the flow of this energy’s subtle but powerful awareness. It is, of course, an induction to a different kind of intersubjectivity, to a more real and complete one. As the weeks passed it has become common to have realizations of all sorts, as if a tremendous source of knowledge were lighting your entire being. I would be able to watch my thoughts from the distance and react in ways different to my habitual repertoire. I have been wondering since, how can so many changes be possible without extenuating training and rigorous discipline. Perhaps, the beginning of the answer to this is that beyond the realism of hard objects and finalities lies another more real and complete world. And the secret to access that invisible world is, as Howard Lee puts it, through knowledge encoded in energy.

I met Howard Y. Lee for the first time one evening in November 2001 in Bologna (Italy), at his group healing session. A few days later I was offered the opportunity to interview this “energy doctor“. Howard Lee is a man of few words, not inclined to theorize, yet his work has shown very interesting results amply attested to in his established and renowned professional practice. I decided to participate in his Induction of Energy workshop. The simple and profound work learned there enables me to access The Light of Life energy daily with great pleasure and immediate effects which have contributed to my overall awareness and resistance to stress, with subtle, yet unequivocal tranformation.

Dear Howard, for ten years I have done many sorts of soul searching and self improvement work; yoga, psychotherapy, meditation, self help books and courses, to be specific. All of these have been helpful in varying degrees and perhaps opened me up, or simply reflect my readiness for the “work” I’ve done with Howard. The term “work” is used loosely because it is not meant to imply effort. In fact, almost conversely, sessions with Howard help you access a greater level of ease in any situation. Although the energy Howard works with defies rational explanation, the results of the sessions are quantifiable.

The energy has given me a broader perspective on my life, thereby, ever so gently making detachment a natural conclusion. This detachment from ideas, habits and any ingrained way of thought or action makes changes that were once seemingly impossible feel natural and easy. Sessions with Howard have produced the fastest, easiest progress of my life. I highly recommend this facile and amazing way of improving your level of focus, energy, clarity, magnetism, happiness and success in life.
All the best,

Jennifer D. Grant, Actress, Los Angeles

I enjoy all the time this your incredible Light of Life: this has brought happiness into my life.

In this harried global environment, one of the most important aspects of The Light of Life Energy is that it provides all the benefits of prolonged meditation in minutes rather than hours. It can be accessed anywhere instantaneously to reduce stress, perhaps the most manifest threat to a person’s physical health and emotional well-being. At the same time, it opens up the pathways of creativity while enhancing focus and concentration. In this way, the Energy enables one to gain a perspective and awareness that facilitates the resolution of the most profoundly troubling issues we face, whether they be personal or professional. In today’s anxious world, The Light of Life Energy is a sigh of relief that provides the hope of a brighter future in a personal, professional and universal sense.

Marlene Duchesne, Los Angeles

Howard Lee offers such a rare gift! The Light of Life energy that he taught me how to work with gave me a long awaited connection to a real and tangible, profound and graceful silence. This energy is so strong and evident. It emits such a potent presence that I feel held in a quiet caress that is so deeply nourishing. I feel as though I am standing in and cushioned by a cloud of easiness and lightness. I feel more relaxed, yet revitalized, awake and excited about the newfound energy and creativity that flows through me. Many thanks Howard for giving me a new lease on life.

It has been my privilege and pleasure to know Howard Lee for over ten years. During that time I have come to trust Howard implicitly and to value the deceptively simple and powerful way he moves energy, as a healer and as a teacher and friend.
Because of Howard’s innate modesty, I came to know who he was slowly. For a long time I thought he was a gifted acupuncturist and only that. Then, by accident, I discovered he was a revered teacher of kung fu. Once, some years ago, I listened to Carlos Castaneda tell a small group of us how Howard had saved his life on more than one occasion and how he believed him to be a “saint” on a singular path.
I would be remiss if I did not mention Howard’s sense of humor. It moves through him like tiny bubbles in a glass of champagne, and his humor is yet another way that he heals and balances the energy.

If you are lucky enough to have Howard Lee cross your path then you can reckon that, at least in some way, the universe has decided to help you on your way.

I would like to testify to the immense power of this resource, for everything Howard Lee says about the Light of Life has come true for me, and more… I now have enough tranquility, self-power and insight to be at ease in many situations and enjoy life more. I have been healed and transformed at many levels, also from some specific health problems. My skills and energy have converged, I am more creative and also more practical and productive than ever. I feel more defined, at the same time less angry and more flexible. My spirit is quenched, I am at peace with many things… the kind of peace you might experience when you have no more questions.

In these years of being a student and assistant of Mr. Lee and also more recently an instructor and Practitioner for The Light of Life Institute I have seen this new resource benefit many people. I have witnessed many cases of healing. I have seen people transform and rejuvenate like they’ve been struck by magic.
I came to this resource by chance. To everyone out there I would like to say, at least try this Energy once, this may be yours!

Dear Howard,
I am writing to provide my testimonial support for the transformative and healing properties I have obtained from my exposure to the Light of Life energy. My exposure to your work has come through my attendance at your seminars (Induction of Energy and Releasing Fear and Anger) and group healing sessions as well as through individual office healing sessions.

I can report an unambiguous improvement in my overall quality of life, my general level of health and in my outlook on life since I was first exposed to your work about 3 1/2 years ago. This transformation of my life occurred despite my initial skepticism regarding nontraditional approaches to healing. My experience (and those cohorts who have also experienced your work and who I have come to know) simply washed away my obsession with the need for epidemiological evidence of efficacy.

Although I was not experiencing significant overt health problems when we first met, I was morose, rigid and felt the “victim” of unsuccessfully attempting to balance work/family responsibilities with a desire for a high quality of life. In addition, I was suffering from a general feeling of energetic depletion resulting from some combination of stress, individual temperament and the onset of middle age. What a change energy makes! I now have family and colleagues accusing me of covertly taking anti-depressants, I have gone from the most prone in my household for developing common illnesses to the least prone and I can now handle the vagaries of the most extraordinary financial mania in modern history (I am in the investment industry) with humor and detachment. I have even seen significant quality of life improvements in my children’s behavior and development after I began initiating my nightly Induction routine in their bedroom. My children often spontaneously request, “Dad, do an induction of energy.” They seem to revel in the feel of energy. Further, the silence I have encountered accompanying the Induction of Energy movement provided a sense of renewal and intuitive insight completely outside my traditional “rational” thinking processes. I have even experienced occasional mathematical or financial modeling insights during those interludes that I was not consciously seeking. I can only thank you for your compassionate willingness to share your gifts with me and others who seek them. With pure affection,

Michael Duffy

Dear Howard, I’ve been practicing the Induction of Energy many times a day, since not even one year now, and the flowing of energy has become a powerful bright light of harmony, going through and around all my being. It is like a beam of a peaceful sunshine of which unfortunately I can get only as much as I can, and not all of it. If sometimes things goes wrong, and the world around seems to be full of troubles, a bit of induction change things into a better reality, where everything is clear and good. And it is not a shifting from one reality to another, but a real jump. Now that I have this bright friend in my life I feel a lot better. Thank you, Howard Lee.

Dear Howard, a couple of days ago I went to a shop where they have an Aura scanning device and a girl that explains to you what is happening in the image one sees in the computer screen. So I sat there closed my eyes and told the girl to watch the screen while I was relaxing and then tell me what she saw.
I did the Induction mentally and when I opened my eyes she told me that at that moment (While doing the Induction) Energy was entering in from one side of the aura and I was emitting healing energy out of the other side.
And she didn’t know what I was doing!!
How do you like that? I think it is great.

I am a clinical psychologist by training and occupation, and a skeptic by nature. For twenty years my clinical practice has been based on mainstream modes of psychotherapy and western medical science. And it was with this set of biases that I walked into Howard Lee’s office.

An acquaintance referred me to Howard Lee when I was seeking relief from a chronic medical condition that I had developed after an auto accident. I was in chronic pain, and just staying physically functional was a daily struggle. I had tried both Western and traditional Chinese medicine with no relief. Because I was desperate and because I believed that Howard was probably practicing an ancient form of Chinese medicine, I decided to see him for an individual session. I saw Howard for several sessions and attended all of his workshops. The result has been a dramatic reduction in symptoms and significant freedom from pain. My neurologist is quite surprised at my level of functioning and symptom relief. He reports that someone at my stage of the illness would normally be on daily pain medication and quite likely be unable to work. However, I am on no medication and work full-time.

While I am quite happy with the medical outcome of Howard’s individual treatments and the Induction technique, the greatest benefit of using Howard’s methods has been a shift in my experience of daily life. My first session with Howard left me with a visceral and psychological sense of well-being that I can only describe as exquisite. The depth of this experience is one that I have only heard described by highly developed practitioners of meditation or by those who claim to have undergone a deeply religious experience. The interesting part of the Light of Life energy is that one can have this experience without years of practice and without any sort of religious belief system. In fact, what gives credibility to Howard’s energy for me is the fact that it is not dependent upon any belief system or guru. There is no indoctrination, nor any encouragement to emulate or “follow” Howard in any way. In fact, just the opposite is true. My experience of the Light of Life energy is that it seems to bypass the intellect. It is a shift in awareness that manifests differently in each individual. In talking with friends whom I have referred to Howard, the common thread for all of them has been the depth of their experience. The specific changes it has brought have been different for each of them.

I believe that the Light of Life is a transformational energy source that allows one to be open to performing and pursuing life with passion, energy, and an abiding sense of well-being. I think it is a source that is available to anyone, and does not require group membership. I believe it is limited only by our resistance to, and fear of, change.

I am forever grateful to Howard for giving me the ability to access this energy. It has opened new ways of thinking, enhanced my ability to heal others, and provided new opportunities for me both personally and professionally. It has given me a new reference point that allows me to see and experience the world from a new place. When I catch myself getting lost in the stresses of everyday life, I can use this reference point to remember that there is awe and joy in this existence--a memory I had lost a long time ago... until I met Howard.
I have referred many of my colleagues to Howard Lee. None have been disappointed.

Master Lee offers the individual the possibility to reorganize their energy in ways that both heal and inspire. My work with him helped me survive a major illness, but more importantly it helped me to strengthen my creative spirit. Master Lee has given me insight to my own healing energies.

Dear Howard - Sifu, it has been 22 years since I first came to see you for acupuncture treatments to avoid anticipated thyroid surgery. You healed that condition, and many other physical problems over the passage of time. Your ability to keep me in balance and grounded, to shift my perceptions of life and myself, and to have an awareness of intent have brought an understanding and joy to my days that is impossible to express in words. Because of your special gifts and power there is a flow of energy that permeates every part of me - on so many levels that most of the time I am “at one with” people, situations, and every aspect of nature.

This deeper reality, spiritual connection, and high level of energy combined with your Light and guidance have helped me through some long and difficult periods. One experience involved the sale of the family business, followed by two separate legal cases lasting seven years. When it was finally resolved there was no anger, resentment or regrets - only the knowledge that it was right for me, and a sense of freedom and peace.

The vital importance of knowing when to let go physically and emotionally, of making myself inaccessible when necessary - being silent and alone at times, and of always using my creative abilities are other ways your influence has enhanced and smoothed my path. Your teachings continue to reveal my inner self, and ultimately affect those close to me in a positive and beneficial manner - am planting the seeds!

My scheduled visits to you every other week for these more than twenty years, the Induction of Energy, and the Group Sessions have all added powerful and productive dimensions to my life that fill me with everlasting gratitude and respect.
Sincerely,
Rosa Cardini, Los Angeles

It’s hard to quantify all the wonderful things that Howard’s energy has done for me, because there have been so many. I feel better than I have felt in years, and I credit Howard with that.
The first thing Howard did was to restore my ability to sleep deeply. Where I once needed nine hours of sleep in order to feel rested, I now feel good after seven or eight hours of sleep. I don’t feel as though I’m coming from a deficit anymore. I also saw an immediate improvement in my level of energy. My energy is steadier and more constant, without the exaggerated dips I experienced before. The fibromyalgia symptoms that have dogged me for a decade –a physical manifestation, I believe, of my failure to be true to myself over many years– have improved noticeably. I have much less pain while sleeping, less leg and hip pain during the day, and much less depression. One day last summer while talking to a friend about fibromyalgia, I ran my fingers down the muscles of my arm and was surprised to notice that all the little fibroids were gone. “Oh", I said, “Howard must have done that!"

Another benefit of working with Howard that I especially enjoy is that I am much more in tune with my Higher Self. Messages filter in to me now from a Higher Source with greater frequency and clarity---very direct messages that I find very useful and beneficial. There must be fewer layers of density now between the physical me and the spiritual me. I also find it lovely just to be in Howard’s presence, because his energy has such calm and light to it. I’m very happy to have found him!
With gratitude,

Ellen Shahan

Hi everybody there? My name is Juan,and I want to share with you my experience during the Light of Life workshop hold in Madrid in june 2001. Howard told us a great deal about this sort of energy during all day, but despite the fact all what he said sounded a bit familiar to me,I learned the movements as he said,and when coming home I did my best to do them as he told us.I was sort of not believing in all that not visible energy coming to me,but then I realized that in my case it was not a matter of more energy when doing the movements but my way of thinking was much more free, relaxed,and with no stress at all.It is as not using the mind anymore but just leaving something else doing the job and if I stop doing the exercises then my mind takes over the power again with stress and worry,so I think it is helping me a great deal? Gracias... Howard Lee?.!

Hi Howard, you saw Stevan [age 11] for a personal session with his mother Marie and we told you about his seizures and speech problems. You experienced a pain in your arm when touching the right side of his head. Later Marie and our daughter Nicole [age 10] attended your Workshop for Induction of Energy. Since then Nicole has been doing Induction of Energy three times a day and directing the energy at Stevan, as you did. Since age two she has always helped her older brother. At first she also experienced a pain in her arm from Stevan’s head on the right side. Later she also noticed pain from his stomach and right and left sides in the kidney area. By the end of January all the pains had gone. Stevan has been having fewer seizures and tantrums. We have changed his diet and he is putting on weight. We are all much happier as a result.

Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000
. . .Since we saw you in Barcelona, Stevan has been moved away from the Macrobiotic Diet and instead is eating mainly meats. He has put on 6 kgs in weight and is looking much more healthy. His seizure activity has reduced from 400 jerks + 40 drops per day to 30 jerks and 3 drops per day. . . From the progress made we are very hopeful of a good outcome.

Ralph Connor, Barcelona

Having tried, the sensation is that of a person who holds a real laser of light in his fingers. The effects are understandable just the day after: less physical and energetic blocks, absence of muscular contractions in the back and legs, body and spirit flexibility, absence of obsessive thoughts and worries, incredible tendency to understanding the others. The effect proven during the opening of the heart chakra, was a new sensation, that I’m still proving after weeks, of love towards life and other human beings and this, for those who know me, is a sort of miracle.

Dimitri Buffa, Journalist, Rome

The first time I met Howard was after having a major car accident. I was left with a concussion, cracked ribs, internal bruising and every joint in my body had been dislocated.
A friend gave me Howard’s number. I left a message on his answering machine and then fell asleep. I dreamt that I was in the office of a healer. He stretched and adjusted my etheric body. when I woke up I could still smell the aroma of that place. Waking up I knew that something wonderful had happened. I felt 50% better!

It took several months before I was back to normal. But, I believe that it was Howard who took me out of the immediate danger to my system. About a year later, I had another crisis in my life. I went to many people in my city for help. In meditation, I had a vision of Howard. Sure enough; it was Howard who was able to heal me. From then on I have made many trips driving for hours through traffic to see Howard. Howard saved my life. Twice.
Thank you so much Master Lee.

Perla Silva, San Diego

Dear sifu Howard, I feel full of this energy but I feel sad for a world that couldn’t understand and believe in everday life’s miracles. You are one of these, and i feel lucky to have been a witness of this. Along in my life. Sincerely yours,

Howard Y. Lee is the real thing, we all need in this moment in this world.

Fourteen years before meeting Howard, I dreamt that he was an American Indian who was healing me with his movements. Five years ago I was in his office. When I saw him move, I said, “I know you!” I told him about the dream. Soon he was healing me with his movements. From my dream, I recognized the energy that Howard calls “The Light of Life.” It was a most extraordinary experience.

On the day of Howard’s “Induction of Energy” workshop I asked him whether I should attend. I had been ill from food poisoning for the previous three days. He pointed his finger at my abdomen and said to stay. As the workshop progressed, my physical dilemma diminished and I participated the entire weekend. After that first day, I ate a full meal for the first time in four days. As if that was not enough, I find I can still call on the Induction of energy movements for physical sustenance as well as spiritual energy.

Howard’s Opening the Heart Chakra was additionally catalytic to deeper spiritual awakenings. His private healing sessions are a personal adventure into one’s body and soul. It is as if Howard teaches you to fly, for Light of Life energies truly transport the spirit.

Lois Edgerton, Educator, Los Angeles

I’m an electronic engineer, married, 38 years old. I do the movements of the Induction every day, two or three times a day, since more than an year. I occasionally do the movements for the Heart Chakra and the pattern to eliminate the negative thoughts, since a few months. After a year of practice, I must say that I have found many positive changes occur in my life. Looking at myself, more than once I could not recognize the person I was and the one I am now. I believe that more important is the fact that certain anxiety and depression that I used to feel, both were gone. My behavior has changed entirely, especially by having abandoned behaviors related to palliate the anxiety. I consider that this change of behavior is caused mainly by the clarity that this energy gives, and by the force necessary in order to leave established habits.

I should also highlight, between these changes, a feeling of harmony, of peace, yet amid the daily duties. It’s like a reconciliation with the things of life, even those that we don’t like. Another important thing is the capacity of healing that Howard donates us. I don’t have direct knowledge of how this works with grave illness, but I could assure that the common pains and disorders are efficiently cured by this energy. I use this energy with my wife. She says that I have cured the headache she felt frequently. I just do the induction close to her (she usually falls asleep) and then I do a short and gentle massagge on her neck and head.

In order to finish, I consider that another important thing that Howard teaches is “the secret of the secrets that is not secret": that the achievements come from the capacity of being consistent between words and actions. And the way Howard has chosen to teach is the most effective, although the most difficult: his own example.

Sergio Bucciarelli, Buenos Aires

Dear Howard, I want to tell you something I have recently realized. During your workshop in Rome, as you know, my son Lorenzo fell ill. In those days and in the following ones I was so anxious about his health and about me, too, (I was going to travel to Los Angeles and he didn’t recover) that I couldn’t see his miraculous change: your energy had completely released him from several nervous diseases like eye tic and nervous cough. I’m very grateful to you for that.

Besides, I’m practising the Induction of energy, Releasing fear and anger and Opening the heart chakra. At times I feel unpleasant emotions: fear of being neglected or abandoned, anger for unimportant reasons, great sadness. At that moment I feel in despair, but as the violence of the emotional storm is abating or as the pain is subsided, I feel strong enough to keep on practising your techniques: I know they are cleaning me.

Maristella Neri, Teacher, Bologna, Italy

Dear Howard,
I wanted to let you know about what happened to me while you were traveling. I had an emergency appendectomy. As it happened, the appendix was perforated, and my large intestine had grown over it to protect my body from the toxins (my surgeon said that this indicated my extreme health!). My surgeon also expressed amazement at the ease and speed of my recovery.
I feel much better now than I’ve been feeling for a long time, and attribute this to the Light of Life Energy.Thank you, Howard!

Al Linton, Los Angeles

To Howard Lee: In appreciation for your help and guidance, I wish you the best in your current and future efforts toward healing the planet. I took your “Induction of Energy” workshop and I am still (after 3 years) practicing the exercises I learned there. If there is ever a question about which exercises to do -- I remain faithful to the ones I learned from Howard.

I would also like to express my thanks for the method of the “Induction of Energy.” I used this at a very difficult time during my illness, “Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis.” I was on High Doses of prednisone and this affirmation of energy was really helpful getting me through the side effects of the medication. When Howard brought energy into the room during the “Induction of Energy Workshop” I had a profound feeling in my whole body --as if I was going to explode-- as I recall, the energy was concentrated toward the top of my head. I have remained a bit confused as to what happened that day as I also recall feeling profound love and I remember crying. . . Was my heart chakra not ready to open fully? I do not know. I have been growing consistently in Spirit and Oneness and I am sure Howard’s efforts play a good part in this. Very Sincerely,

C.S., Los Angeles

Mr. Lee uses non-material acupuncture needles. During my treatment, recently, in Mr. Lee’s office, at a given moment, I felt the distinct “burning” sensation of a needle in my right arm about 2/3 rds of the way up between my wrist and elbow. It felt as if a nurse had injected me with a needle in a doctor’s office. The next afternoon at his office I felt a similar, yet more subtle sensation, when he worked on my right side. I knew Mr. Lee did not use needles. There were certainly none in his office nor did I ever see them during my treatment.

I had received a brochure in the mail many years ago during my involvement with Tensegrity which stated that Mr. Lee was the man to whom Carlos Castaneda had dedicated his book, The Fire From Within. It seemed obvious that someone was wanting me to seek out Mr. Lee. I did so. On that day, the day of my first treatment something remarkable and truly memorable occurred. After leaving Mr. Lee’s office, after that first treatment in 1995, I was waiting at a bus stop. At that place the world of everyday life became transformed and the features I was witnessing were not entirely understandable. After what seemed like a very long time I recognized a man approaching me, a very strange man I recognized from his lectures at Cleargreen workshops. When I interacted with him I realized that he was presenting himself to me in a very different way. He looked, physically as I remembered him in every way, yet it was his soft-spoken, humility I noticed right away. His voice was almost of another man with no accent whatsoever as if he was reluctant to talk or perhaps it wasn’t possible to talk about what we were both witnessing together. Or perhaps it was the voice of someone who was a brilliant writer, silent and mysterious.

What I know now is that I had entered into and energetic architecture, a pattern of energy which pertains to Inner Silence, a state of being I entered into one night 20 months ago. That experience propelled into the new life I have now and a new purpose I am currently pursueing, the desire to experience Inner Silence with others. It was to that end and for the purpose of receiving treatment for my sleep disorder that I returned to Mr. Lee’s office again. During my recent treatments I entered very deep into a silent realm where the physical body oozes energy. I know that Inner Silence is a state where the physiology of the body turns off completely and yet the physical body is all there fully turned on energetically. I know also that one of my favorite quotations from one of my favorite books is the definitive statement about inner silence: “A warrior travels the paths with heart, on any path which has heart and there he travels, looking, looking breathlessly.” I realize through my interaction with Mr. Lee and his friend that that quotation is no poetic metaphor. It is a description of Inner Silence, where the body’s physiology turns off, no heartbeat, no breathing and yet such a state has all the heart in the World.

Leamon Keith Hill, Dallas

Dear Sifu, I thought you might like to hear from a local student of yours. I wanted to tell you how much I value the Kung-Fu class, how long I have waited for such instruction and practice and how it continues to expand my consciousness in all areas of my life, including my body awareness, and assists in my health and well-being.

Since I began to take your energy classes my whole life has changed. When you began to teach the Kung-Fu, all the pieces began to fall together for me and all of those questions I had for years began to be answered because you were teaching it with the consciousness and awareness that I was yearning for--that the Kung-Fu is a doorway for a greater awareness.

Don’t get me wrong its hard work but I enjoy the discipline and the benefits are innumerable. It has helped me detach from my clients energetically, it has taught me patience and self-love; it has given me confidence and understanding of what my body is capable of doing. It has increased my intuition and opened me to greater inspiration. It has given me greater strength, vitality endurance and health. The energy is flowing. I continue to do my standing/healing exercises as well. I believe I am healing elemental aspects of my body. I have been very devoted to my practice.

S. Rose, Los Angeles

Before eating and after, before playing tennis and after, before making Tensegrity or Kung Fu and after, even before making love and after, or before working and after, I feel the need to do this your magic induction. And my feeling was good, ’cos my life has become more easy, less neurotic, more conscious. Sometimes I just pronounce the formula into myself, sometimes I shout out loud, every time I make the movements. And then I remember some of your words when you were teaching us the fundamentalia of your kung fu. As if you were always here. I feel my heart chakra opened and so, when I walk around, I don’t feel anymore that sense of alienation in which I was maybe educated, but the joy to be live and magic. Seems to be magic, maybe its only more real than reality.

Kindly Sifu, I would like to thank you for the harmony and the beauty that you have brought in my life.
For varied motives I had become dark and angry with everything and everybody; I have started to follow your teachings since the first time that you have come in Italy. When you returned to Rome, during the individual therapeutic session, also not being us some physical contact, I felt to be touched from inside, after some time I have started to laugh, first softly and then more strongly, as if you had removed from me a cork and I didn’t succeed to stop me, I was afraid that you thought that I laughed to you and I tried to have self-control, but it has been useless and my body was shaken by winces and attempts to stop that laughter. When the session has ended, I was without words, you have asked me as I felt, but I have not known how to answer and when you have told me that I was brighter and I was better already I have not realized of it, my ego didn’t want to accept the change that already felt.

That same night I have dreamt a big store with many shelves full of varied things, televisions, boxes, washers, there were of everything, then I have seen that to the outside so much water flowed and entered everywhere and when I have seen the store again, it was entirely almost empty, not much things had remained. Now I don’t care as than to appear ridiculous, my colleagues of job that don’t succeed to laugh and they are sad, when they see me they are illuminated and they want that I tell him some tale or do something to feel better them.

As regards the just concluded seminars to Bologna, I hoped that they didn’t end anymore, I have been better than the usual one, I have noticed that, even if some apprentices limit theirs relationships to one or two people, among the other participants there is more dialogue, begins to be us a greatest opening.
I would not like to get estranged from the rest of the world, but only when I am to the seminars with you and with the others participant, I feel more alive. When you have given us the “Respiratory Pattern” to the beginning I have felt as a burning to the left lung, toward the centre of the chest, I was breathing with an only nostril, after a little time it is decontrolled something and I have freely breathed with both the nostrils. Instead during the “Gastrointestinal Pattern” I have felt as if all the abdominal zone became fizzy, as the carbonated water,  and I have had as the sensation to float.
I still thank you for your teachings and I hope to see you again as soon as possible.

I feel I now have some great tool to build with. This is a definitive resource for me; uncluttered by what I have read and heard about energy. This Light of Life energy stands alone in my experience. I have heard of what one may experience when practicing the various meditations and lifestyles associated with being a healthy person, and now I know what that means for me. It is as if the horse is now in front of the cart and not the other way around. I had before been concerned with doing certain practices to have a better quality of life with limited results. Whereas now I have the energy to do those things associated with that quality of life. This was very important to me. To know, as well, that I have this for the rest of my life frees me from worrying so much about my future. I feel an immense gratitude for being introduced to this Light of Life energy, and I am forever in Howard’s debt for bringing this Energy to my awareness. I have always sensed, in a way, a great potential fro growth in the way of wellness for our society and I’ve seen no greater tool to help move us in that direction than the Light of Life.
Thank you very much.

Some thoughts about the Energy:
It’s an harmonic and cohesive force that makes anything possible and real
it’s a new language that contains an enormity of informations
It’s a vibration
it’s knowledge
it’s like the wind
it’s all we are

While doing the Induction it’s as if a soft rain is flowing over you, you relax and thoughts vanish.
A sense of vibration goes through you and you feel heat and start perceiving different realities not through the mind but with all the body, new informations show up, it’s a new language and if you try to decode it rationally you miss its meaning. Then you let go but the attention remains alive and alert. The notion of having a body is relinquished and the sense of being part of that vibration takes over, and in that moment you feel complete, finally alive. It’s a new language, silent, and all that is perceived is real.

It’s different for each of us, everyone navigating following his/her predilections. And wherever you may arrive, it will always be just an infinitely small part of what it has inside. We usually waste so much energy thinking of what we do in terms of right or wrong, judging ourselves or judging the others trying to compare them with ourselves. Then we understand that all this is within us and that it is much better to accept the fact that each of us is an unknown universe, and that everyone must be free to go through life according to his/her wishes. Energy lets us see things with an irony that cuts off that sense of personal importance that makes us stiff; that doesn’t let us smile and laugh at ourselves and what surrounds us; that doesn’t let us perceive the beauty of this one precious life. It makes us see our condition of beings that are going to die and realize that is truly a sin to waste our time. Then a sort of respect is born toward everything we meet, accepting the fact that anybody facing us is playing his part: if it’s boring we can simply just switch channel as with TV. He’s the actor, I’m the audience, and vice versa.

By assiduously practicing the Induction of Energy pattern these new perceptual realities are going to slowly be revealed to ourselves, along with a new awareness of what our physical and energetic body really are, a magic door to the Spirit.

"The sparrow, and a way to look at the world"
What we (humans, I suppose) do perceive, are “slices of reality” Slices the way bidimensional layers of our tridimensional reality would be. What is suggesting me this, is the singing of a little bird in front of the balcony where I am sitting between the palms and the fern. This, what I perceive as his singing, probably exists?transversely? since a long time already: perhaps it has a dark turquoise-blue color and an elongated elliptical form. On this level of reality – which we perceive in the only way we are able to – it is crossing, and merging, with an other form of existence, which I imagine more waving, pulsating and sharper – maybe more vertical – which is appearing on our ?slice? of reality as a ‘sparrow’, and which presents peculiarities – like heat, density and smell of matter, that in the rest of the reality hidden to our eyes do not have any reason to manifest.

So the sound of his singing and the image of his little body are nothing but the crossing in the visible and in the audible of at least two forms of life which?happen? to manifest just as we ?happen? to catch their expression. And this game could be repeating itself more times-maybe endless times-by being each perceived (or caught) dimension nothing but the emerging – in the field of the perceivable of something which happens to perceive (we, in this case) – of some forms not perceivable but yet existing on other levels or layers as well. And even this endless repeating, that is to say, this infinite, could be nothing else than the manifesting – in this region of infinities?perceivable on endless levels different levels – of endless ?parallel infinities?, in each of which the game is endlessly repeating itself, and which are manifesting or hiding themselves fluttering among perceivable infinities and an endless number of unperceivable infinities.

Rome 1999, at the seminar for the Induction of Energy, I was there at the bottom of the basketball court, Howard was across the hall from me under the opposite basket, some 200 people between us. Howard begins the induction of energy... I try to relax, don’t want to have any concern, I trust Howard and I trust his humility before the spirit, I don’t need to convince myself, I sense that the energy will come. What marvel, people of every kind, in each of them a world unknown, unique and magical. In each of us the intent to be free. I feel a heat, then it is from above that I see energy whirling over the whole structure, high in the sky, then coming down and channeling into his head, then coming out of his body spreading more and more. It’s a most subtle flow that embraces everybody, and now it’s flooding me, too. I feel pressure in my temples, but my thoughts are still turned on, I am breathing deeply and happiness is growing more and more, I feel the energy. I let go and suddenly a new world appears, it has an orange hue, a perception that takes hold of me and wraps me up, I am lucid, I know I am seeing this new world and don’t lose my awareness, then all of sudden a new color appears, green, and after a while from above, white erupts into the vision mixing with the green and turning it into pale green, I am navigating and I am free, I feel filled to the brim, at one point the color changes into blue, I had tears flowing on my face because of too much happiness, I felt I could live in that new world forever, nothing was missing from me, I had no more thoughts, I rejoiced in my totality for that perception, the blue had a thickness to it it was a complete world, I heard music, it was tridimensional and I had never seen a color so alive before. What marvel, I felt I could move inside the blue, and with the intent of the eyes I tried to go even deeper, at that instant everything moved, the color changed and became more intense. Oh, how was I feeling; an instant, and then I am flung into infinity, I could see the stars, it was a starry sky, I was aware of it and I was immersed in it with all I had, I could no longer feel awe, it was something even bigger than that, something I had never given a name to, and that I could not describe, I was pure perception... and those stars didn’t appear as I had always seen them, fixed luminous dots, but crackled increasing and decreasing their intensity...
...those stars were magically ALIVE....thank you Howard
