Children of the Light

Lindwall Foundation Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 1, 2005

Celebrating A Quarter Century of Releasing

It is amazing to realize that a little over twenty-five years ago, on reaching an age at which most people would retire, Isa and Yolanda Lindwall began their travels around this wondrous planet, bringing their teachings, their presence and their simple message of love, year-by-year and country-by-country. In that time they have visited almost forty countries, passing the torch of love and light, and the truth about our own inner divine wisdom to each and every person they meet who is open to receive it.

This newsletter is a tribute to Isa and Yolanda and their work in the form of images and recent words from just a few of the many thousand people whose lives they have touched. We let these words speak for themselves, while apologizing where limited space only allows us to share a portion of your messages. The complete testimonials have been presented to Isa and Yolanda separately.

More than a tribute to the past, this newsletter also celebrates the present as we begin another quarter century of Releasing. Many of those who have learned directly or indirectly from the Lindwalls' teaching and example are now spreading this work themselves, each in their own unique way. At the same time, Isa and Yolanda continue their own travels and their own work, which is also evolving, even as they are. We now see many generations of Releasers, old and new, each contributing to this planet's full realization as our beautiful home - a place where we can share in love with one another, with our neighbors, with those we have not yet met, and with all forms of life.

We welcome you to join us for the next quarter century of Lindwall Releasing®, which will take Isa and Yolanda back to South Africa in February and March, and to Asia later in 2006.

In love and light

Stephen Marcus


 

Following are excerpts from a selection of the many testimonials received:

It was so inspiring to meet you vibrant people. The love you gave out and so generously shared was so beautiful and real. After the workshop I feel transformed and with a lot more peace inside. Thank you Isa and Yolanda. You bring beautiful energy to the world.

Lena Hjeltman - Stockholm, Sweden
Since 1991 I have had the joy and honor of knowing you and participating in almost all of your New York City workshops. Professionally my writing is more insightful and my ability to use the tools gained through my loving interactions with you at all workshops and privately has given me another dimension to my mission and purpose. My life and that of my son is far, far better for having met you, learned from you and having participated in your releasing workshops all these years

Margaret Clare Norton - New York, USA
Thank you for being the shining light that you are and in sharing that light in and with the world.

Richard - San Rafael, California, USA
I first met Isa & Yolanda in 1993 in Rome, Italy. Releasing made sense, was fantastic enough to be fascinating at all moments and the personal contact felt more like home then I could remember knowing. I never gave up my main profession as a scientist - just right for my left brain, but the attraction was clearly towards releasing and those two always cheery, always loving, supportive, lovebirds: Isa and Yolanda. I did not know I could love or feel love so deep and profound. Seeing pictures of Isa and Yolanda just brings up those same emotions again. Powerful, wonderful, loving. May all the good you have given come back to you many many times. With love, gratitude and respect

Rainer - Italy
The most important thing I learned from Isa and Yolanda: unconditional love is the most powerful weapon. It can change everything. With love,

Stephan Schumann - Germany
Isa and Yolanda's Releasing is like Love: It is somehow so simple but so hard to explain to someone who has never experienced something like this. It is like being in Love with someone - it makes you happier with your whole life and with the world. For me “Freedom Through Releasing” was not more but also not less then getting closer to the Love.

Justus - Germany
In the winter of 1984 I was invited to translate for Dr. Lindwall and his wife Ruth who were to speak and demonstrate their way of "releasing" in Frankfurt. Many healing sessions, releasing sessions and workshops happened afterwards all over the world with Isa and Yolanda. There are many miracles that I could write about. Let me just say: I am happy to have Yolanda and Isa as friends, soul parents and mates on the journey of life. Love is there forever.

Lothar - Germany
For me they (Isa and Yolanda) are the symbol, the presence, the example for the human and spiritual possibility of living unconditional love. I am grateful for all that, for all the gifts!

Cariann - Germany
The Releasing-work has taken me to the place where I've decided to support other human beings through Releasing. I am grateful that I have got to know this work and can teach people that it is never to late to go a new way with a new view.

Ralf Gehlert - Bremen, Germany
Even after a small amount of releasing I have been able to immediately apply the techniques to my client population. I work as a drama therapist with psychiatric patients and I have a group with survivors of abuse who get stuck in entrenched patterns of revisiting the trauma over and over. I have used just simple releasing statements with them that seemed to have lessened the repetitious aspect of the stories. Thanks again

Gaye Doner-Tudanger, M.A., R.D.T. - New York
I first met Isa and Yolanda while I was in the Ph.D. program at Georgia State. What I learned from them was totally revolutionary and changed my life. It gave me a whole new paradigm to work with in my practice of helping people create a healthy life. I experienced their work personally and professionally. It had such a powerful impact on me that I took additional training from them and use it in my work today. Although I use different language, I practice releasing and forgiveness in the teaching and work that I do. I am grateful to these two pioneers for their courage and commitment to Spirit.

Simone Caruthers, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and Consultant - Colorado
Both of you Isa and Yolanda were taking me by my hand in a very extraordinary way ... very personally and caring and showed me and strengthen me in my belief that there is another life waiting for me when I just let go the old ... being together with you has become a milestone on my spiritual path. I am still more than grateful. In deep love

Julia - Austria
It has changed my life. My whole self-image has shifted and is shifting still. I use the releasing daily in any situation. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have been there. Love and blessings to you all.

Haydn - South Africa
They left a deep impression. Thanks for the love and joy during the seminar.

Anette T. Maurer - Stockholm
For many years I felt that I must have something inside my heart, but I didn't know what it was. Always it was a secret and a miracle for me. Then in February 2005, I was lead me to contact your Homepage and read all your letters full of Love and peace. This was the Turning Point in my whole life. I attended the workshops in Moers in May and Meissen in June 2005. There Isa & Yolanda "opened" my heart and showed me my "secret". Since this time I have found my spirit Light and Love in my heart. My "spiritual development" is so wonderful and full of Inspiration. I cannot explain in words the feelings inside of me. Now I try to see, to speak, to hear, to feel and to act with and through "spirit most high". And it is so wonderful and I have so much joy in my heart to bring this light and love into the World! Thank you for all!! Your are always in my Heart!!

Elke - Germany

I would like to express my deep feeling of gratitude for the great help I have got from you. Both my professional life and my private life have improved a lot since I have participated in Releasing work. I am so extremely grateful for you help, dear Isa and Yolanda. Just looking at the pictures of you makes me full of hope and happy. Thank you so very very much

Olga - Stockholm

Yolanda and Isa are experts in helping people release negative feeling and attitudes that hinder their spiritual progress in a gentle way. These releases have been so helpful to me on an everyday basis. Yolanda and Isa are truly two of the most spiritual people I have ever encountered and it is a blessing to be in their presence.

We love you,

Mimi and Howard - USA

We thank you for your great help in the last two years. I'm not
sure whether my husband would be alive without your help. Thank you very much that you took all my perceptions seriously in a time in which also many friends thought I am crazy. Thanks Thanks Thanks.

Elisabeth, Gerd & Helena - Germany
Releasing has rapidly transformed my life. I am so much more confident and at peace and full of love than before. What I like most about Releasing is the depth at which I connect with other people, sharing in their opening and connecting to source and feeling our oneness. I am feeling proud at the moment because I taught a friend Releasing, who taught another friend and now they are making workshops together. Thanks to God and Yolisa, his beautiful instruments.

Wayne Walker - New Zealand / Puttaparthi, India
Isa and Yolanda inspire all of those with an open heart who encounter them. Their love for and desire to help others is always manifest. Despite their ability to access an extraordinary level of information and guidance through Spirit and to induce healing in those they seek to assist, they remain ever modest in their personal orientation. I am grateful to Isa and Yolanda for this opportunity and for their warm friendship. It is an honor to know Isa and Yolanda, and I regard them as the heads of an extended soul family.

John Afton - New York
Thanks to the experience with releasing I am now a person that can live with other people happily and contently, without fear of closeness. I am glad every day, to be allowed to see the world from a uncomplicated perspective, and to have discarded old thinking and behavior patterns thanks to the Releasing work. I cannot describe how grateful I am, to have become another human being through Releasing.

Ute Bahlinger - Germany

I want to thank Isa and Yolanda. They really changed my life. They showed me a way to grow, a way to learn and a way to be with myself and with others in higher consciousness. My life becomes more and more easy and light, enjoying the here and now. From my deepest heart I express my gratitude to them.

In love and light and connected forever.

Bea Cappellini - Switzerland

I thank you both very much and the many helpers of Releasing for this special kind of work - I would like to see you soon again

Hildegard - Germany
"Releasing" became a part of my daily life and of my professional work. It strengthens me. I am very grateful. In love,

Susanne Schrader-Mahrlein, Germany
The meeting between me and the Lindwalls was very magical, and life turning. Thank you Isa and Yolanda for being such a genuine, caring tool in bringing this work into the world. Your attitudes of humility towards the Divine has been most inspiring for my own journey. I wish you all the best for your next 25 years, and I hope, to see you soon. Thanks so much

Andreas - India / Germany
Isa and Yolanda showed me what unconditional love is and this is for me the way to go on. I try to live this love in my life more and more. They are a great example for me. During the recent workshop in Meissen my right eye was healed, I don't see double any more. I am still moved about this.

Nadja - Germany
I am a Parapsychologist but I did not know how to apply this information other than as entertainment. Spirit Most High sent me to Isa's back in 1985. Isa and I had many discussions about my ability to see the details of the Akashic records, Past Lives…. Since then, I have served as a bridge between the worlds for over 1500 people. Peace, Light, Love beyond time,

Rev. Roger M Teeter - Georgia, USA
The most important change is a neutrality towards situations where, before Releasing, I had a lot of negative feelings like fear or anger. When I am now confronted with those situations I am surprised and happy about this tranquility. It is like I see myself as an outside observer. I send you all my love.

Edda - Germany
I thank you so much for bringing out the wonderful Releasing work into the world and that I can take part in this. So much growth and change has happened in the last ten years for me and my life with Releasing, and I'm happy to have the opportunity also to support others with the Releasing work.. I can feel all the love within you and Releasing every day, also when you are far away. All love from my heart to you,

Bärbel Heitkamp - Germany
I am a hypnotherapist who attended one of the weekend workshops. Not only did it personally given me a tremendous tool to work with in letting go of old negative hurtful emotions, thoughts, feelings and ideas, but it is a healing modality that I use with my clients regularly. I have included many of the "releasing" phrases as suggestions and incorporated them into my sessions. The results have been amazing. Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. www.newhypnotherapy.com

Linda Simmon, C.Ht. - California, USA
The most impressing thing when I met Isa and Yolanda one year ago for the first time was that it is possible for a couple to live in peace with one another, to be enriching for each other and a source of love and power. It is possible to treat each other respectfully and to tell your partner your truth in love!!

Simone - Germany

It was such a great, inspired experience for me to receive how the Lindwall-Releasing-Method works. To feel this amazing, powerful energy from you, to feel the deep love from you, and between both of you, to feel the divine love you gave to all of us.
From my soul and heart to your souls and hearts a lovely THANK YOU in silence. God bless you and all human beings.

In love and light

Hans-Juergen Kiefer - Germany

A great adventure on every level and on every dimension - more and more joy, peace, love and light taking place in my life. The knowledge about who I am, why I'm here and what is my job has got a focus and got fulfilled now.
Love & light pure on mother earth.

A big hug to YOLISA from

Klaus - Berlin, Germany

Some time ago along came something. Once it sunk in, it produced a new way of living.
Of the production-line came the ability to decide.
What to keep, what to throw out.
What to strengthen, what to let go.
What to develop, what to undo.
What to nurse along, what to get rid of.
What I want and what to object to.
What to insist on, what to reject.
What to embrace, what to pass.
What to value and what to root out.
What is of benefits to me, what endangers me.
Where to gain and where to lose
What to love and what no longer to hate.

I feel blessed not to walk in the dark anymore, to be free to choose. The burden of indecisions, not to make up the mind, no longer troubles me. Delighted with light and insight I'm really grateful. I'm thankful for the idea and what it intends to do, the invention. I applaud the brain-child behind it and I appreciate the inventor's contribution to live, to humanity. By the way, what is it? Thank God for releasing.

In love and light

Dolores and Paul Suter - Johannesburg, South Africa

To say a few words about the influence this work has had on me: it is like a spring of water coming through me, washing everything inside which hasn't be pure and transforming all energy in pure love. I just love you Isa and Yolanda, only to think about you gives me power and energy. My way now is to pass on what I learned and I will do it always remembering your words.

Laurence Bachl - Freiburg, Germany

Of all the teachers, books, philosophies, therapies, religions, etc. I've ever come across there has never been a more loving and giving people as Isa and Yolanda. They are also very unique because they truly live what they teach. My life would not be as fulfilled and enriched without having known them. I am so grateful for their love and devotion.

Love and Light

Jeannie (Hales) Whyte - USA

I learned the Releasing Process from Isa and Yolanda a few years ago when they were in Houston. I have personally experienced wonderful Lindwall Releasing results, initially and going forward. Releasing has become a 'way of life' for me. It has improved my quality of life tremendously.. Thanks to Releasing, I am healthier and happier. I am a certified Hypnotherapist and Healing Touch Practitioner and always pass on your powerful Releasing Process to all my clients. Many times they call me and tell me how much it has helped them and that they have taught Releasing to their friends and family. Thank you, Isa and Yolanda for making a big, positive difference in my life and the lives of my clients. I am very blessed and grateful.

Marnie Morrison - Houston, Texas USA
Releasing is my work, my joy, my pleasure, my hope with a view towards what comes next. In other words: my life, without ignoring but realizing and feeling and living more and more all the rest of life. With the deepest respect,

Markus Dewald - Germany
Releasing has fascinated me for the last 15 years. It makes me unbelievably happy and fulfills me in almost indescribable ways to experience how people come back to themselves and their lives. I thank the Source for everything and wish you peace and joy in every moment.

Barbara Baader - Germany

Your love and support has been my greatest blessing in this life! No matter what I had walked through, you have shown me unconditional love and let me see who I really am. I thank you, I honor you and I love you. I am so grateful for the pattern of true spiritual partnership you have shown to us through your love for each other.

Blessings always.

Anne Bellamy - Texas USA

Every so seldom we come across some fortuitous event in our lives, the magnitude and importance of which we fail to realize right then and there. Some call it good karma. Others credit the alignment of the planets. Some say it is just luck and still others recognize it as grace - a gift from a Higher Consciousness some of us call God. Such was our meeting with Yolanda and Isa. This one we shall remember and be thankful for the rest of our lives and beyond. They showed us a way for a new start, with a clean slate, when we needed it the most. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep up the good work. We love you and we open our hearts to receive your love. And so it is.

Love,

Joyce Myers and Peter Ortiz - Arizona, USA



Outreach

We are exploring ways in which Releasing can support the long-term effects of planetary disasters through training local groups in affected areas. We have been invited to work in Thailand by another non-profit organization to assist survivors of the Tsunami. Although food and medical aid has been provided by funds from around the world there are still tens of thousands who need help in coping with their personal lives following the horrific deluge that left so many homeless and without family members. We have also had communications with the Auroville international spiritual community in South-Eastern India who are intensely involved in supporting tsunami recovery work in over a dozen local coastal villages, and have been working on many levels with the recent events close to home with Hurricanes Rita and Katarina.

Workshop Tours

It is with great joy that we report some of the highlights of the recent Release workshop tour that began in March and concluded in July of this year. Isa and Yolanda along with Dr. Stephen Marcus and Barbara Kroll conducted workshops in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Isa and Yolanda also traveled to Isa's parent's home country of Sweden for a workshop. Together we all held many weekend seminars as well as several 7-day intensive events. Letters, phone calls and emails from grateful participants have inspired us to now begin plans for workshop tours in the year 2006 .

The first tour will begin in mid February and finish near the end of March. It includes informative lectures and weekend workshops in both Johannesburg and Capetown, South Africa with a stop-over in Knysna. The weekend workshops will be followed by a 7-day intensive event in the same general area. Our previous sponsor
Dianne Cooke (email: gcooke@icon.co.za, Tel: +27-(0)21-8652170) is graciously teaming up with: Zelda Bradshaw (email: zelda_re@yahoo.co.uk,Tel: +27-(0)21-8513153) and

It is with great delight that we rejoin our wonderful friends in that country to help carry the Releasing work to the next level.
