This book is something we all need to hear, especially those who are confused and feel like there is more to life than what they are experiencing. "Waking up" to the reality that I have inner fragmentation and stuck emotional pain was a huge, but welcoming shock to my consciousness. Learning about the pain body is probably the most powerful teaching I have received in my life; way more than my education at Stanford. The emotional education that Luis teaches and leads us towards exploring in this book is just the tip of the iceberg when I compare it to all the Cellular Memory Release sessions and workshops that I have participated in over the last 8 years on a practical basis. He is always speaking about practical tools for awakening and healing, and I still haven't experienced to this day anything more deeply real and true than the practical tools this book offers as a basic nudge. When you think about it, we are really simple beings and we have been programmed with a mind to perceive life as complex while closing ourselves off from one of our greatest assets - our emotional body. As Luis says, through presence to our thought patterns, we can become aware of those deeply embedded and unconscious thoughts that are creating pain body fragments inside of us, leading us to experience life as something much less than wonderful and peaceful. Some of the benefits I have received from this work is a sharper intuition, a stronger sense of "reading" the situation, more compassion for myself and others, a more powerful, yet vulnerable heart, and a sense that I am one with everything and everyone, even when I sometimes feel like a separate human. No matter what state of being I am in emotionally, I have in the background, 24-7, a deep sense of peace and well-being that doing this work, Cellular Memory Release, has taught me to realize within myself. I used to have a lot of dread, fear, depression, guilt, shame and anger, so, I have come a long way just by applying these simple tools - even at times when I didn't want to.
If you are a person who is looking to become more deeply human and drop the mask that all these ancient sages talk about as the cause of suffering, or if you are tired of "trying to get there" using techniques daily to make you feel good, then CMR might be for you. It is definitely worth reading this powerful book and applying the exercises he offers as the "tip of the iceberg" beginning.
