In this book Darren R. Weissman describes the healing modality he has invented/discovered, which has reportedly healed many of his clients.
The theory underlying this technique is that all symptoms and diseases are caused by “subconsciously internalized, denied, or disconnected emotions” that create blockages in the patient’s acupuncture meridians. When Weissman “runs” his Lifeline Flow Chart, he/she is enabled to reconnect to these emotions, which thus results in healing. The power of Infinite Love and Gratitude is at some stage invoked (perhaps during the “running” of the Lifeline Flow Chart, and it is this that actually effects the healing.
Another key factor in the Lifeline Technique is the application of the Five Basics of Optimal Health –water, food, rest, exercise and owning your power. He provides detailed rules to follow in these areas.
As regards his eating programme, I can only say it is definitely not for me, since it absolutely necessitates consuming 9 ounces per week of red meat, which I decline to eat (as well as several foodstuffs which I can’t eat, at least at the moment. without a severe reaction). The author’s argument for the eating of red meat is that “our bodies don’t have the enzymes to break down protein from nonmeat sources such as legumes or tofu in order to extract and use (the) L-methionine” they contain. L-methionine is an amino acid that is apparently crucial to our optimal nutrition. (The key factor in the author’s understanding of how to obtain optimal health has to do with balancing the blood sugar metabolism, and for him red meat, and thus L-methionine is essential.) What I would ask is why can’t we instead consume protein powder, or, if appropriate, L-methionine alone?
Weissman states that practically all of us in Western society have blood-sugar malfunctions (he is probably correct in this view). As regards the red meat thing, he is supported here by Dr. Jacqueline Paltis and her “Sugar Control Bible and Cookbook” on which he bases his own nutritional recommendations. Under their system you need to eat every two hours (luckily not also when sleeping).
Weissman coins the term “Present Time Consciousness” (PTC) which is “staying connected to your senses – what you see, hear, smell, touch and taste, and how your intuition is guiding you in the moment.” You need to be constantly in PTC (isn’t this the same as the “Now”?
In my view, “owning your power” is a key factor, and much overlooked. Owning your power is “living with Infinite Love and Gratitude” and means “embracing all aspects of life with passion, purpose and courage” and reconnecting to the emotions that are dormant in our subconscious mind. This is the key to reclaiming our authentic self. Most of us have lost contact with this by repressing and disconnecting to our emotions – which has resulted in the prevalence of chronic diseases in our society.
The author states that people like myself with auto-immune diseases are in “Death Mode” as opposed to “Life Mode”. When Death Mode is switched to Life Mode, people begin to heal.
Of course, the crucial factor in the work is the power of Infinite Love and Gratitude, which Weissman discovered through the work of Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto. Dr. Emoto found that water exposed to pollution, heavy metal music or negative words either were unable to form crystals at all or else formed greatly distorted ones, while the most beautiful crystals formed were those exposed to the words “Love” and “Gratitude”. I myself have studied the works of Emoto and admired his crystals, so I know of the strong and curative effect of these words. What I don’t know is exactly how Weissman applies these words in his treatment.
On the whole, and this is a basic lack/shortcoming/defect of the book, the author neglects to inform us of the details/nitty-gritty of his actual basic treatment, thus leaving the reader who wants to put the technique into practice totally frustrated. I know of the power of love and gratitude, but how to apply it? Though Weissman’s Flow Chart, which he “runs” (whatever he means by that), is portrayed in the book, I did not find it at all enlightening. I understand he uses muscle testing in connection with the Flow Chart to test the clients, but he needs to be more explicit in his explanation of how to use it –in actual fact he utterly neglects to explain how to use it. Also, it is quite esoteric, so one can’t oneself find out how to use it.
Thus, I’ll give the book 4 stars only, and don’t really feel I can absolutely recommend it, though it does contain much wisdom and explains the theory of the system. I might perhaps recommend that you consult a Lifeline Technique Practitioner, if you have severe health issues, but I didn’t find much practical advice in the book, at least not as regards the power of Infinite Love and Gratitude. (But you can try just saying the phrase innumerable times directed to any ailing parts of your body!)

Phenomenal healing work. Brings together energy work, emotion, meridians, and chakras. I've been as student of healing for nearly 30 years and Dr. Weissman has introduced an excellent system. To be honest, the first time I read the book it was a bit confusing and really didn't come together for me until I went through his audio tapes and DVD seminar. I use this in treating many of my patients and have got impressive results.

WOW! This is VERY DEEP! Have to take a couple days to digest a chapter as I read! I would recommend reading "Remembering Wholeness" first by Carol Tuttle and THEN getting into this book!

This is a great book on releasing old garbage/emotions. It doesn't really teach you the Lifeline technique, but overall it's a good book.

I like the idea of self-healing, but this is a major plug for his business and for his lifeline practitioners around the country who have spent thousands to get trained and perform fantastical thinking on people. I understand the connection of energy but sometimes people need an organ transplant and a preventative like this will not heal their native kidneys. I just don't see a story in there where miraculously someone claims to be completely healed from this technique and investigatory muscle testing and re-programming of the subconscious. I have actually had some session done with a lifeline practitioner and although I feel better talking through my problems, I don't feel completely healed. This is where they get you. You are convinced that it takes years and perhaps a hundred sessions. It's endless. It capitalizes on the human existential dilemma of constant change. There is always something to reprogram and to complain about and to fix. I'm just not buying into this entire thing even though it means well and will make someone money. The writing is okay. It's over-enthusiastic and very repetitive. There are some typos and lack of use of the Oxford comma, which I am a fan. It's interesting to know about this concept and how things have fir together but the human beings he treats are so dynamic and putting all the subconscious in to a nice neat chart is unrealistic, in my opinion. All in all though the last chapter, chapter 31, is the best part. If you start with that then you'll get the gist of the entire book first. Then you can decide if you want to read the entire thing.

I found this for free at a giveaway. I would never have bought it. But I did read it... I'm pro gratitude and love, don't get me wrong. I also like water. But if you can get through the first couple of chapters without laughing at the book, then you're probably in the target group. What is said in this book is beyond absurd. It feels sort of insulting that someone would write this book and sell it to people.

I liked this book and what the author had to say. The only problem I had was it wasn't a manual to be able to do this for yourself ... so to get this type of healing .... I'm not sure how one goes about it. Lots of information but no clear cut way to make it through on your own ....

Very interesting to learn about how the emotional states of the body can have lasting impacts on long term disease and health.
