Hands Down, the best book I've ever read in my entire life. If you're the type of person that has been "studying" and attempting to integrate love into your life but keep "coming back" to those same issues and triggers again and again and again, this is the book for you. Alternately, if you are waiting for your loved ones to speak, acknowledge, and recognize all that you are but it never happens, this is the book for you. Drop the study, drop the "lessons". It is no longer necessary to trudge through all that mud. THIS is the book the world has been waiting for.

This book is a TREASURE! The words jump off the page and ooze LOVE. I've read many spiritual books, many of them gems that propelled me forward on my journey. This one, however, is like travelling at warp speed through your own journey to higher consciousness. There's nothing to practice. No special rules to follow. No worries about "getting it" or "doing it right." Through his words, Matt gives you the key to your own heart along with the knowing that your heart is the essence of every other heart that ever has or ever will exist. Don't get me wrong...this isn't a "feel good" book at all. This book invokes the power within, the Divine "I", to show you how to love YOUR light, dark and EVERYTHING in between. There's no way to hide, no need to hide, nor any desire to hide. Your own expanded consciousness, when allowed to love whatever arises, seeks out every opportunity to cherish itself in ways no other person can. Do you want to LOVE yourself like no other ever has or ever will? Do you DARE to take this journey? Buy this book and you're in for the RIDE of your life...and you'll NEVER look back!Whatever Arises, Love That: A Love Revolution That Begins with You

From the little that I know about Matt Kahn and his teachings and followers, this book seemed intriguing and insightful. I pre-ordered it on Amazon and was excited to read it.
But I just can't do it. 25 pages in and I'm done. I like a lot of his ideas, and I am compelled by the charge to love, love, love. But his cosmic teachings are just too much for me. I just left behind a religion with a peculiar cosmic view, and I'm not inclined to easily pick up another. On top of that, his claims to have been visited by Jesus, Buddah, and various angels and zen masters as a young boy, ... I dunno, I've heard it before (Joseph Smith, anyone?). I almost stopped reading right then, during the introduction.
I think this book will end up being a donation.
Update Jan 31, 2016: I'm going to give it another try.
Read about 100 pages by dialing down the crazy and dialing up the awesome. But when I learned that Matt Kahn has some teachings (not in this book) about Aliens and something called a Galactic Council, I was out. I've spent so long in a church that sold me crazy stuff that I'm not just buying the next form of crazy, no matter how lovely some of the teachings might be.
However, love is awesome. We all definitely deserve more love, not less.

This is a MUST-READ for anyone who wants to live a more heart-centered life and enjoy the journey. I love this book and I love Matt Kahn's teachings. I have been following Matt on YouTube for two years because everything he says resonates with me on the deepest level. If you are looking for a new and fresh approach to living your best life in this time of dynamic change and awakening consciousness, I invite you to read "Whatever Arises, Love That." It holds the key to happiness that many of us miss. It's not about accepting and loving everything that happens to us. It is about loving whatever arises WITHIN ourselves. The more we send love to ourselves, the more we are sending love to all hearts. Love truly is the way to a better life and a better world. I hope you will open your heart, read this life-changing book and join the Love Revolution today.

I first got to know Matt Kahn by seeing his videos, which I found to be enlightening; he told us that when listening to his words we received healing energy.
He also informed us that his words were channelled and often he didn´t remember what he had said, since they weren´t his own words. (I´ve experienced this myself on one occasion when spontaneously channelling advice to a friend.) Often he doesn´t know what he thinks about a certain topic, until he is asked, after which the channelled words flow out of him.
In the introduction to this book, Matt tells us that also when reading his words we receive a transmission of presence /healing energy.
The teachings that emanate through Matt are always “rooted in the vibration of love”. He tells us that “an endless depth of harmony, ease, and grace has been encoded throughout this book to heal every particle of your existence, at the rate in which you allow love to enter your world”.
As a child, Matt interacted with higher dimensional beings and saw energies others couldn´t see. He had “timeless encounters” with Jesus and conversations with deceased relatives. He regularly communicated with angels and Ascended Masters who visited him in his bedroom. He also met teachers and guides such as Melchizedek, Archangel Michael, Quan Yin, and St. Germain.
As a young adult, Matt was guided to deliver intuitive messages to people he´d never met.
In seeing the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and himself as “equal expressions of one eternal truth” a spontaneous awakening occurred within him.
He tells us he is blessed to support our journey, no matter how progressively or slowly our hearts desire to open.
The book contains powerful healing mantras created by the Universe to ensure our success. By reciting each mantra out loud, we are able to more clearly remember our eternal nature as well as fine tune our own intuitive guidance.
Matt´s message is “Whatever arises, love that”. As our heart opens, we are able to see how every circumstance and detail of life has been created only to help us grow on a spiritual level.
All that is required is a willingness to open our heart. Cultivating unconditional love is an essential stage in the completion of our journey.
This is “a love revolution that begins with you”.
“When your heart is open, you are able to notice that anything you are feeling is part of a healing taking place within you”.
“ --- a willingness to experience each moment as an opportunity to heal clears out layers of cellular memory to make room for the emergence of heart-centered consciousness”.
The cellular debris cleared out of one person simultaneously assists in the healing of all.
Our highest purpose is for every emotion to be recognized as an opportunity to return to love for the healing, awakening, and transformation of all.
Here is one short healing mantra to be repeated:
“I accept that this feeling is only here to be embraced as it´s never been embraced before”.
As in his videos, Matt invites us to say “I love you” to our heart. In a “soft, supportive, and gentle tone”, say “I love you” like a lullaby you would sing to a child, Say it for a two-minute period.
Your heart can be seen as the centre of the Universe.
When you love your own heart, the love is sent to all hearts in existence.
Matt explains how we can turn negative comments made by others into a gift; the value of honesty; and the healing power of compliments.
He tells us about the various types of inflammation we may suffer from and how love can dissolve them.
Once when I was on a course with an acclaimed “spiritual” therapist, he asked us to tell him what we were good at. I said that I was good at listening to others. But no, no, that was no good, he said, that didn´t count, that wasn´t anything of value. However, I knew that this was not true, and in this book Matt vindicates me. He explains that an awakened being knows listening to be the most direct way to remind someone of their highest value. “When listening you give others a chance to be on the receiving end of your loving attention, which allows their subconscious mind to match your vibration”.
The book is elegantly, divinely written, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It will provide you with healing, help to open your heart, and thus also that of others, and expedite your path of awakening. But I must warn you that it is no easy read, and it may take a while to digest its content.

Best. Book. Ever. Speaks right to my heart. It's the next "spiritual classic." Those on the planet ready for a new vibe and change will "get" the messages and energies here. Matt's teachings make life an even greater joy. Timeless. Powerful. Profound. Loving reading it many times through as the messages go deeper and deeper into my consciousness each time. Sharing with friends, family, and my whole community. Gotta Tweet Jim Carrey and Oprah about this one!!! It's time is NOW. OUR time is now. More love, not less? You betcha, I'm in!! Let's love up this planet and everyone on it!!!

I have been following Matt Kahn for approximately a year and was thrilled when I learned he had written a book. I ordered it immediately and dived in to read it. I love his philosophy about life. He suggests that we embrace everything we face, without judging it. Find a way to accept it. Talk to our body parts that feel distressing. All problems that arise are likened to children desiring loving attention, according to him. After trying out his ideas I have found much soothing information which seems to be helping me through a tough health challenge. I recommend this book to anyone.

March 8, 2016My wife gave me this book after she tried to read it and gave up. Being an English Literature major she said it was so poorly written she couldn't go on. Being open to trying new books, I tried to embrace the book, but after several chapters, I had to agree with her. While the intent of the book is to help people on their own spiritual journey as the author describes his own journey, I found the writing not up to the task. Sorry I tried to give it my best shot. Not recommended.

To be very honest, it was a surprising read.
When I've started to read this book. I was hooked from the beginning, I was turning the pages, finding some interesting answers when the author lost me...for a few pages...to grab me until the end.
While reading, I've tried the meditation, I've tried to smile more and to make peace with my inner child and I was happy. I'm probably on a long road to find myself but this book was a wonderful way to express myself differently.
Hope I will be able to stay on track.
A nice read for people who are looking for answers.

Exquisitely beautiful just like Matt himself. Difficult to describe but life changing. I encourage you to watch a video of his on YouTube for a taste of this incredible
Mans teaching. Even that word is not exactly correct
Suffice to say the book is wonderful and inspiring and encourages you to think in different ways.

First introduced to Matt Kahn at a LIVE Conference last year, I didn't grasp his 'I LOVE YOU' exercise. Later, I heard him on a podcast and totally feel in love with his teachings. Listening to every youtube video that comes out...I find myself saying "YES!" outloud because I not only totally get his teaching, it's what I've been living and not been able to define or explain. I was so excited to see he had a book that came out in January. It's a unique perspective. Something that might be too much at first for someone who's not used to this paradigm or explanation, but I would HIGHLY ENCOURAGE one to stick it out through the discomfort of something completely new and try what it is he's offering. The overused cliche' "it's lifechanging" definitely applies here if one will be open enough to try LOVING WHATEVER ARISES! My personal applications have surprised me when I didn't think loving what arisen had a chance of working.

The next level
This book is the answer to a prayer. I was feeling very stuck in my spiritual growth – even feeling as though I was going backwards sometimes . This book miraculously showed up on my Kindle desktop one day as a sample . I took that as a sign , started reading and bought the book straightaway. Every chapter , indeed every word , is revelation . By applying this simple technique of loving whatever arises , my life has changed in only the last two weeks. I'm also watching Matt's videos on YouTube which are mind blowing to say the least , but reading this book has helped me to grasp the concepts in his videos more easily . To any spiritual seekers out there, I cannot recommend this book highly enough . It will change you in the way you have been waiting to be changed for a very long time .

If you love MK, this is kind-of a must though I preferred the audio version being "spoken" to me in soundbites in Matt's oh-so-familiar voice because the deepest activation is in the delivery more so than the content (to know what I mean, you just have to look him up on YouTube). As intellectual meaning, it may not deliver all that many surprises to you if you are in that particular part of the journey where its all been joining up coherently for some time...though again, it might...but there is great value in hearing it again...and again... Make no mistake, this is powerful stuff. If you are new to Matt's work and/or at the beginning point of your spiritual adventuring - congratulations, you've arrived, dive in! Expect everything to be different from here on in...

Even though this book had some really good elements that are grounded in psychotherapy and/or Buddhism, I can only give this book 3 stars. That is because of the flowery, hippy dippy terms (divine, universe, vibrations, angels, ascension, etc.) that are used profusely throughout the book. Also, I just don’t have it in me to believe that someone is talking to “Ascended Masters” in the great beyond. I can’t do it and sadly it will be off-putting for many people who pick up this book, which is sad, because there are a lot of great nuggets of healing and wisdom in this book.

A must read book! To be honest, it was hard to get into at first, so I put it down for awhile. When I knew "it was time," I picked the book back up and didn't stop reading the knowledge contained within the covers of the book. I bought the book a few months before I needed it, but when I did, I was ready to soak up the contents with gratitude. So very thankful that this book was written, and will be referencing it for the healing mantras and more that it shares with all of us.

Matt is one of the few teachers I have followed for long enough of a time period (though I don’t currently) to consider him one of “my teachers.” His insights on the ego, the nervous system and how conditioning works and is passed on are essential. He cuts through a lot of the general commercialized spiritual materialism so common in many modern spiritual books though does it with grace and an attitude seemingly of “building the new” rather than “fighting the old” which I resonate with as well.
April 25, 2016
So much wisdom on a very "few" pages - a brilliant guide that will definitely help you to improve your life (in practice). I am against any mandatory things in life but this book should be on all school bookshelves.
Thank you Matt.
Thank you Matt.

Magnificent book! Clearly divinely inspired. The most beautiful book on loving yourself I have ever read. So glad I found it. I am forever grateful for this book for myself, those I love and those I work with. Thank you Matt Kahn.

I listened to this book on audible. It was really moving. I feel light hearted. I plan on reading this book for a small group next month. I highly recommend in any stage of your life.
February 10, 2024
came as a recommendation from a friend and was incredibly insightful. impossible to absorb all of its teachings in one read so I will definitely be revisiting it at various points of my life.

June 30, 2023One of my favorites. I have in hardback and audio and I go to the audio when I need to reset and soothe my nervous system. I always find something supportive in this book.
August 8, 2023
I really love the message of this book. It's a great reminder to be gentle with yourself and others. I found some of it uncomfortable due to my previous religious trauma. But I was able to take it as an exercise in loving what that brought up for me.

We all know life is a journey. For most of us, the journey is littered with emotionally brutal experiences. Whatever Arises, Love that is a deeply impactful exploration of emotional affirmation. We go through our experiences for reasons that serve our highest purpose. We are who we are today because we persevered. Whether you have mastered the lessons of your journey or are sick and tired of being sick and tired, Matt Kahn provides spiritual nourishment that is both very real and thoroughly aspirational. Join the love revolution. You will be so happy you did.

It became my 'bible' since the day I bought it. Practicing Matt's words with practical actionable steps I have anchored relaxation anywhere, anytime. Audio course of the same book is beyond mind-blowing. I can't thank the messages enough. My life's richer thanks to a bullshit-free approach on how to go from any emotion and thought to love in action. Thank you Matt and all the people who've helped to bring it about. I am empowered to be exactly who I am with my imperfections that make me perfect.
February 22, 2019
I listened to the audiobook from a library and know I'll have to own this now so I can refer back to it. An incredibly useful take on spiritual truth, especially for sensitive spiritual people who have trouble loving themselves. Really, I think this is an incredibly profound perspective that teaches using love to integrate all parts of yourself, rather than rejecting the ones you wish to hide in the guise of detachment and transcendence... A mistake I've made many times. So glad he has put this book out into the world.

Love what arises
Matt delivers his always comforting address that wherever is happening is okay and ment to open you toward a higher consciousness. Acceptance of all that arises and surrender to divine will knowing all emotions and experience is normal and leading one to fearlessly love all that is with no resistance is a profound comfort. Acceptance of change and being the observer of it feeling fully and surrender ing fully knowing nothing lasts forever gives life courage. Thankyou Matt for another reference to remind us we are together as one.

A unique way of looking at life. Practicing this spiritual practice is a win win situation for all involved.
Learning more about ego and what is termed the "inflammation" is a another way to understand how works and does not work.
The philosophy is in line with the new thought science of mind transcendentalism. I hope I spelled that correctly.
This book is for anyone who wishes to get a deeper glimpse at love.

This book contains some gems and strong medicine that I plan on revisiting. It's also very repetitive though and some parts were a little woo-woo for me. (I'm still not sure what it means to clear out cellular debris even though he talks about that a LOT.) I almost abandoned this book several times but once I got used to his style and flow I was able to skim over the parts that didn't click with me without losing interest. I'm glad I hung in there.

Contains life-altering perspectives. 10/10 read.
However, I recommend that you drink the teachings, not the personal beliefs, as the author and his people are followers of the UFO cult / 5th Dimension Ascension cult narratives (though after research I do not believe they are associated with these groups, and I have come to find that Matt's material, aside from whoever taught him in the past, comes directly from his intuition).
