I'm just read this book from Luise L. Hay, and other self help books ....
It always states that if you're not in peace with someone or something you should first look at yourself.
I dont know to much about the release technique so forgive me if I offended you. I guess missed the point
You've missed a lot more than the point, Tippytoe. You've missed the whole rest of the picture. The rest that includes other people, circumstances beyond your control, limited experience, faulty perceptions, bad juju, the shortcomings of your friends and family, electro-magnetic fields, bad color combinations, and the evil intentions of the designers of certain "self-help" programs.
Sure, it's fine to examine yourself and you own contribution in a difficult or painful situation. And sometimes it is your fault and yours alone. But other times it has nothing to do with you, little to do with you, or exists despite all your attempts to prevent it. That's what these self-referential programs don't teach because if they did their whole philosophical house of cards would come tumbling down. Lots and lots of things are beyond your control and immune to your attempts. It takes something special to determine where your influence ends, something these groups are well practiced to disable in their followers: the ability to think critically.
