You are the source of the approval you want - it is a decision to give yourself approval. And best of all, it is easy, very easy to have all the love and approval you want!
Larry Crane says to turn your attention to the stomach and chest area and simply give yourself approval - "give yourself approval, and more, and more, and even more".
Do this for no reason whatsoever i.e. you don´t need to achieve a major result before you give yourself approval.
Yesterday, I was sitting in a cafe by the sea having a drink and enjoying the sunny day... and I just started giving myself approval in this way for the next 5-10 minutes. I felt fantastic, I couldn´t help smiling and I just felt this glow of goodwill. Others pick up on this and treat you really well. Before long I noticed a cute girl staring at me with a smile on her face.
This is like a magic formula - want people to feel great and to be attracted to you? All you need to do is give yourself approval and you can do so as much as you like all day long.

Create More Money In 4 Simple Ways
When it comes to making more money there are a number of ways to go about it.
1. Set a specific financial goal.
e.g. I net $2,000 a week with ease
Then release on that until you move from AGFLAP to CAP. This will take some work, persist until you get to CAP and you´ll feel much better about finances and you will think more clearly about financial issues. You may even find some great ideas come to mind to earn more, spend less or you find your desires lessen.
Once you are in CAP about the goal all you need to do is check in from time to time say once a day or once every few days to see if you are still in CAP. If not release some more until you are back in CAP. You´ll soon get to a point where that takes just a few minutes if any time at all.
2. Set a general financial goal
e.g. I enjoy financial abundance with ease and joy.
Then release to go from AGFLAP to CAP as above. Again, check in from time to time to ensure you stay in CAP.
3. Release on freedom.
e.g. I allow myself to go free.
When we go directly for freedom we are working on all of our lesser goals. By releasing on the wanting approval, control and approval that comes up we are making fast progress on attaining imperturbable peace.
Simply do attachments and aversions, likes and dislikes or advantages and disadvantages to the goal statement and release on the underlying wanting a/c/s.
4. Follow the six steps
Decide to release constantly all day long and you´ll be happier and lighter more and more of the time. From this state it gets very easy to get what you want. Want more money? You´ll achieve it much more easily when your starting point is such a high state.

How To Know If Releasing Is Moving You Forward
Ever find yourself releasing and wondering if you´re making any progress? Are you wasting your time?
There is a simple way to track your releasing progress. Really? Yes, it´s just a matter of referring to the AGFLAP chart.
Let´s say you set a goal... I allow myself to go free.
Simply take out the AGFLAP chart and identify which emotional state you are in before you start releasing on the goal.
Next, release on the goal. Give it at least 40 minutes of focused attention. Then, refer back to the AGFLAP chart.
Notice anything interesting? In most cases you´ll have moved up to a higher emotional state. When you think about having the goal it will seem more attainable because it is now that you have dropped some of the limitations to having it.
If possible, keep releasing until you move from AGFLAP to CAP. If you really want to go for it, continue higher into the hootless state: that peaceful care free feeling: its ok if you get the goal and just as ok if you do not.
What can you do if you don´t reach CAP or hootless in your releasing session? Return to that goal and continue releasing another day until you do!
Without the AGFLAP chart you can lose a sense of direction but with it tracking your progress is easy.

Same Old Story Or Is It?
Often when we have a "problem" we think that it is different to the issues others have. However this is not the case when it comes to releasing.
If you want to get rid of X, this X could be a relationship issue, a money problem or a health matter. So what! You can still release on X in the same way.
- refer to the 6 steps
- use Advantages/Disadvantages, Attachments/Aversions, Likes/Dislikes
- let go of resistance to the problem
- go to the underlying wanting approval/control or security. Let that go.
- remember to make releasing constant
And so on.

sedona method and a perfect day
When I started to learn how to release with the sedona method I stopped using some conscious creation processes that had always served me well. This is one way to isolate a new approach to see how well it works before finding your own style.
Recently I have being releasing through allowingness while visualising the desired end result. I allow the feelings of havingness to be completely present and allow the feelings to do whatever they want. I surrender to having the goal and allow it into my reality.
The more real I picture and feel the havingness the more feelings of fear, resistance, and other attachments and aversions show up. I allow them all to be present and they tend to fade away.
If I get a stuck feeling I simply ask it:: do you want to go? That works really well.
Here is what I am doing now - I´m giving twenty minutes a day minimum to creating my day. I´m starting with small stuff like arriving at the bank when there is no queue, friendly smiles from people I pass in the street, being in the right place at the right time etc.
I believe the small stuff is actually very important because these small results stack up very quickly and reinforce your belief that conscious creation does work, that you do create your reality. Once that sinks in it is much easier to get the big stuff.
Want to start creating your own perfect day? See what happens when you picture it the way you want it to be AND you use the sedona method to release all the feelings that come up.
Let me know how you get on....

sedona method and the spiritual path
This post is very relevant for many people using the sedona method and release technique.
I notice that many people have some odd ideas when it comes to being on a "spiritual path". The desire to love others, to give to people and to drop the ego gets confused with letting others walk all over you.
You have every right to set your life up in any way you see fit. It is your experience after all and if this fits with other people that´s great. If some people don´t like it so be it. Be careful about letting your want of approval destroy your the quality of your relationships.
Let me give you an example. I have some good friends in
England who do not wear shoes in the house so if you visit you will be asked to remove your shoes at the front door.
Now, most visitors have no problem with that. Well, some people won´t take their shoes off. What would you do?
This is where the practical nature of releasing comes in. Release on wanting approval, control and security and be free to ask others to remove their shoes or to leave. If they have so little respect for you it is perfectly okay to show them the door.
Self help means taking care of yourself too! For many people using the sedona method and release technique it is easy to forget this.
Let´s say someone steals from you. Is it okay to take legal action? Of course it is. Release first and when the cloud of emotion dissolves you will be clear about the best course of action - you might decide to ask nicely first and if that does not work move on to the next logical course of action.
The point I am making is that self help feel good and do good folk don´t always stand up for themselves out of a need for approval. The irony is once you do assert yourself, in a compassionate way, people pay much more attention to what you can share with them.
One more example, I was having lunch during the week with a friend who presents self help seminars that deliver magical results for people.
We were laughing about how people in the south of Spain are so laid back that have no concept of time. Now, this is great day to day but a real issue when you want to get course participants to turn up on time for an event.
No matter how he approaches it there are people who wander in well after the seminar begins. This disturbs his teaching and the small groups he works with.
What would you do? Would you work around this problem so as to not annoy the group? Would you try not to upset the late arriving student? What about the quality of life of the teacher?
Again, releasing is a practical tool for living your life. He could release and then make a clear headed choice on the best way to proceed. Having control is good
It is okay for him to have parameters. The same applies to you in your life. Be loving and giving and make sure wanting approval, control or security does not detract from your quality of life. Let go and have respect for your needs.

sedona method and imagination
This article is very relevant to sedona method students so read on if you use the sedona method to achieve goals.
I met a very wise man last week. He lives twenty minutes drive from me, along the coast road.
He has written a number of books about consciousness and related topics and he has a deep understanding of what it is all about plus he can explain complex ideas in very simple terms.
He also understands subtle distinctions that many teachers either miss completely or just get wrong.
We were talking about creating what you want and he likes to refer to manifestation as "directed imagination".Now, I think that is very clever and a useful reminder of how we create our day to day results.
If you want things to change you need to hold in mind something different;if you want more of something you need to hold in mind more of it; and, if you hold in mind things as they are now that is what will continue to be the case.
It´s very easy to forget that we imagine what we want before we get it. When we feel stuck we often think we get what turns up and that we have no power to change things.
Right now, if you examine your dominant thoughts you may well find that your life is consistent with what you allow in. Your life is no better than you allow it to be with the sedona method.
In my view if you can handle success you can handle anything. And the fear of success is what holds us back from allowing in more happiness, success, love and peace.
When you begin to notice that this situation starts with a thought you are on the road to making things better - observe your fear of success and if you like, let it go.
When you think about it... if you congruently want something and yet take little effective action towards having it there must be an opposing force at work. We can call it fear.
Drop the fear and direct your imagination to what you want by holding in mind the goal and dropping the attachments and aversions to having it. Changes can then take place very quickly with the sedona method.
Directed imagination can be like magic once we drop the blocks to allowing in what we really want.

Sedona Method - Happiness and Havingness
I was sitting by an open fire last night in an Indian restaurant by a lake in the spanish countryside.
My buddy was asking me about happiness and I was talking to her about the difference between improving your standard of living and your quality of life. Big difference!
While improving your standard of living is a worthwhile objective, it is good to pause for a moment to notice how good we already have it. If you´re reading this you have electricity, internet access - not to mention food and shelter. There is no reason to take this for granted.
Most of the six billion people on this planet don´t even have clean running water. They would be stunned to see how concerned many of the people in the richest nations are about their standard of living.
The irony of it all is that when you give more attention to your quality of life you will have more peace of mind, more happiness and more time to enjoy the people and the things you love.
This in turn gives you more energy to be productive and effective in the world, giving rise to an even better standard of living if that is what you want.
Having more will not make you happier. It will not improve your quality of life. Yes, more money can ease certain hassles and day to day pressures however success brings with it other issues to deal with. You may find all you do is upgrade your concerns!
I contend that success is the ultimate challenge! Can you handle it when you have it? And that is why quality of life is the ultimate goal - in the form of health and vitality, happiness and peace of mind. Success may come and go but feeling happy can endure regardless when you master releasing.
How hard is it to have peace of mind? It´s easier than you think actually. Can you let go of one distracting thought? Yes, of course you can! Let go of two? Yes! Three, four, five, and so on....
It all comes back to one fundamental principle - you can let go of any self-imposed limitation and thereby have more quality of life and more happiness.
A little releasing a day goes a long way...........

Sedona Method - Love and Worry
For any issue that leaves you feeling stuck it is really, really helpful to get into CAP first before you even start releasing on the issue.
Let´s say you are worried sick about finding the money to pay your electricity bill. If you try letting go of it you may get nowhere. The stress can keep you stuck.
Go high to release first. Release on something else that is easy for you. Only when you are in CAP can you reach down to AGFAP and let those feelings go with much more ease.
Then, make sure you follow the six steps i.e. release to go free!
You might also want to consider the difference between love and worry. Let me give an example. A while back I had some friends around and I was showing their three year old boy the roof terrace. He wanted to climb the stairs and look around.
We then came back down the stairs and he enjoyed the challenge of making his way down these, for him, huge steps. He was having a blast with this challenge. And I was ready to catch him so he was in danger whatsoever. He was smiling and delighted with himself when he got to the bottom of the stairs.
Ten minutes later we were back up on the roof terrace with his parents and this time on the way down the stairs he was terrified! Why? Because of his mother. Her worry and negative directions scared him so much he was afraid he was going to hurt himself at any moment.
For her, and she admits this herself, she doesn´t want the kid to grow up too fast. What would she do then?
It can be very revealing to see what worry gives you - wanting a/c/s? Could you let go of wanting a//c/s? Of course you can! If you have ever let go of wanting a/c/s in the past you can do so again.
The great thing about going to wanting a/c/s is that you take your mind off the details and "why this story is an exception".
Love vs. worry.
One allows the other to grow, the other can retard growth. Love does not mean not being sensible. In fact, it allows you to be more sensible because you can think more clearly when you don´t worry.

Sedona Method and Financial Worries
In my opinion managing success is another skill we need to master. Becoming successful is attainable with the right tools and attitude - enjoying it and continuing to grow seem to be very difficult for most of us.
When you get more and more of what you want the possibility of loss and the fear and worry that goes with that can really take the shine off the success you worked to achieve.
Still, you are very fortunate in that you know how to release. You have already demonstrated this and now you are aware of the fear of loss feelings. This is all you need to move to the next step....
Firstly, pay attention to the fears and worries and remember they are just feelings and you can let go of any feeling. Drop them one by one as they pop up - this only takes a moment during the day.
You could also go to the underlying wanting a/c/s to shift things more quickly.
Secondly, set new goals for all aspects of your life. Keep aiming higher i.e. repeat the formula that got you to where you are now. Because you are not looking forward your mind is not focused - idle minds are fertile ground for fears and worries!
Thirdly, notice the source of your wealth. It is not a job; it is not your career; it is not the economy, it is not dollars. Your are cause the rest is effect. the source of your wealth as you have demonstrated is the ability to hold in mind what you want before letting it go to allow it in.
Consequently, even if you gave away every penny you have nothing could stop you from allowing in all the wealth you decide to have. The same applies to friendship, love, health, happiness and peace of mind.
The external world is effect not cause - once you get that concept you´ll be much more care free about money - the more real people believe money is the harder they work for it and the more effort and stress it takes to get some.
Prove this is true in a small way and then keep expanding....

Sedona Method and Work
Ever get bogged down by office politics and corporate pressures? Do you find all of these things affect your attitude?
Before you know it you end up thinking about all that you dislike about work.
You need to decide what you do want. Right now you are puttting energy into what you do not want. And we all know what happens when we do that! Yes, whatever we focus on expands.
I used to play the corporate game and it wasn´t my thing although I found ways to use it to get where I wanted to go. Treat it as a game and it is much easier to detach from the corporate seriousness.
Identify the things that irritate you and release on them until those things make you smile. See the absurdity in it all.
What I enjoyed most about the corporate experience was finding ways to excel with the least effort possible. Hint: use conscious creation to manifest success.
Then you quickly become a valuable resource which gives you a lot of freedom to behave as you wish. You get away with being an individual despite pressure to conform; you become the guy in the office who is always in a good mood; you become the one others want to hang with and help out.
Why? Because you have detached from the outcome and you achieve with ease.
Final tip - if possible use your lunch break to recharge. I used to meditate on my break so as to stay in the flow. Nowadays I would release. I did n´t know about releasing back then.

Then you quickly become a valuable resource which gives you a lot of freedom to behave as you wish. You get away with being an individual despite pressure to conform; you become the guy in the office who is always in a good mood; you become the one others want to hang with and help out.
Why? Because you have detached from the outcome and you achieve with ease.
Final tip - if possible use your lunch break to recharge. I used to meditate on my break so as to stay in the flow. Nowadays I would release. I did n´t know about releasing back then.

sedona method and goal setting
Here is some good material for us all on how to set a goal and have it come true.
There are two files to read, a goal chart (choose pdf or word version) and simple instructions on using the goal chart. Download these files here:
Writing your goals down is a great way to get clear about what you really want and releasing on these goals is the best way I know of moving ahead and achieving more without the stress and anxiety that characterises traditonal approaches to goal setting and gettting.
Enjoy!

It Takes Effort To Live Without Effort
When you start to learn about releasing it can sound too
good to be true. You read the information at the sedona
method site and you think "this is amazing but will this
work for me?"
Then maybe you get the book or listen to the audio course
and you start to feel happier, more in charge of your life
and ready and able to reach for the stars.
A month later you are back where you started -- surfing the
self help sites looking for an effortless sure-fire way to
have all the success and happiness you want.
You are not alone...
At some level we all want to believe we can sit around
enjoying rich food and never get fat, watch TV all day and
get an education or put no effort into our relationship and
never have an upset partner.
Unfortunately the reality seems to be that effort is
required. The difference with the sedona method is that the
effort is unseen because it occurs on the inside. That
does not mean it does not take effort to get what you want
with releasing.
The ultimate promise with releasing is that you can sit
down and release to get what you want without taking any
action. So how do you do that? By releasing for hours and
hours and hours. i.e. massive effort.
The easier approach is to release AND take action - of
course this requires effort too!
If releasing takes effort why bother? Because the more you
release the less impedance you have to getting what you
want so as you grow it takes less releasing to manifest
your goals. Plus you will continue to feel happier, at
peace and free.
I will often release for 3-4 hours a day on a goal. Not all
the time, some of the time. When I do, I can achieve
results more quickly than I could otherwise and with more
ease and flow. There is still effort involved but it is
less effort than fighting to get ahead in the outside world.
Given the choice I prefer effort on the inside over effort
on the outside. It gets me what I want with less
aggravation and it also keeps me happier.
To sum up... the sedona method promise is a big promise
just remember it takes effort on your part to fulfill that
promise. And over time the cumulaitve releasing means it
then takes less releasing to get what you want.

Looking For Love In All The Right Places
Want more love? Want to feel appreciated, valued and
special?
Well, you don´t need to go very far to have all the love
you could ever ask for. It´s all inside of you.
Think about it...
Think of all the times you have been in love, all the times
you felt high on life because of a wonderful person in your
life.
Where did that feeling come from? It didn´t come from that
person. You felt those good feelings inside yourself and
attached them to that person.
That´s when the trouble started!
At that point you started to need that person to feel loved
because at some level you decided you would only feel love
for him/her. You would only associate those feeling of love
to him/her. Everyone else in the world would have to wait.
Feeling love for someone, not being loved, is the special
feeling everyone wants. And nobody can take that choice
away from you.
What happens when things go wrong is that the other person
at times fails to behave the way we want so we decide to
not feel love for him/her.
You then feel unloved, your partner reflects this back to
you and very soon you both feel unloved. You are! Because
you are both choosing to not feel love.
Find love where it is by noticing that it was always inside
you waiting to be set free. Anytime you want to feel love
it´s easy, very easy.
Pick a person, a pet or even a place you love and choose to
feel that love. If you like, you can state: I allow myself
to love (name)? And release on any wanting a/c/s that
comes up. This allows you to feel more and more love as
you drop the resistance to having it.
You could also spend time approving of yourself. Do this by
spending 3-4 hours at a time giving yourself approval. Just
send yourself love and approval by deciding to.
You could also ask yourself: could I give myself approval?
And then release on whatever comes up.
Does this mean you don´t need a relationship in order to be
happy? Yes! Does this mean don´t have a relationship? No,
it means have a much better one!
Could it get any better?

Releasing Secrets Exposed
Want to know what it takes to get what you want? Pay the price!
Any lasting success you have in life depends on momentum. Achieve a goal, aim higher and keep doing what works for you.
However...
What tends to happen is the following. We feel pain. Whether financial, relationship or health -- it gets to a point where we can´t take it any longer so we look for a new and better way to get what we want.
For self help enthusiasts that can mean - get a new book/course or attend a new seminar. For the most part the common message is: you create your reality so change your mind and thereby change your life. Here is a structured way to do that.
Because and only because you are in pain, you follow the instructions and experience new success. But! Success breeds complacency....
Over time you stop doing what works and you slide back down to another point of extreme pain and the whole cycle starts all over again.
The Sedona Method suffers from the very same dynamic which we impose on it. Do you want to break out of this box?
Here´s what to do.......
1. Choose freedom and imperturbability above wanting a/c/s.
2. Devote time to releasing each day and get into the habit of releasing all day long.
3. Set ever higher goals as a game to see how high is up.
4. Appreciate that the very best way for you to help those you care about is to make your own life magnificient - people pay attention to what you can demonstrate more so than what you say.
In very simple terms - the more time you put into releasing each day the better your life will be. The daily momentum builds into an unstoppable force of peace and happiness.
If you only release now and then what do you honestly expect to happen? I´ve tested that approach so I can tell you: nuffin´ much happens!
Enough talk -- go release!

Sedona Method Goal Setting And Getting
Here is what I do when I use the sedon method for goal setting and goal getting...
1. Set a specific goal using the sedona method guidelines - stated in the positive, in the present etc. as a short statement.
Sometimes I will write out a very detailed goal - up to one page of A4 and then sum it up in one short goal statement.
2. Release on the goal to completion - this can take time, how long depends on how much AGFLAP there is to drop.
3. Check in regularly and preferably daily to see if you are still hootless.
If I´m not hootless I release to completion again. This is a key element of the process because until and unless you remain hootless you are not allowing in what you want.
4. Make the goal real in your mind - see, hear, feel, smell and taste it as already here now. Do that with strong emotions and you will easily bring up all the AGFLAP you need to let go of.
You will also be encourgaed to keep working on the goal because when you daily create a rich sensory experience of the goal as already attained your sense of certainty that it is going to happen will be much greater.
All of the above requires effort so don´t set goals you don´t really want!

Sedona Method releasing tip of the day
When it comes to using the sedona method I see a lot of messages at the sedona method releasing club...
http://groups.msn.com/TheSedonaMethodreleasingClub/
that cry out "but this situation is different so what should I do?"
Releasing is profound IF AND ONLY IF you choose to use it.
If you want to analyse a problem, situation or issue it´s up to you however that has nothing to do with releasing. If someone replies: let go of wanting to figure it out... get annoyed if you want to but that answer is what releasing is about.
At the sedona method releasing club forum we offer releasing advice based on what we believe works and we are not here to guess and then tell you what you want to hear.
And if you feel unable to take charge of a problem go and get professional help. This board is not an alternative for professional face to face help.
See you at the forum...

Sedona Method Overnight Success
I find the notion of the western culture "overnight success" stars very funny. How many times do you see and hear about yet another overnight success in dance, music, movies or business?
Some 24 year old woman becomes a multi-millionaire and we all tend to think "well that must mean I´m really thick!" Of course the truth is she worked from the age of 12 for self- made parents with exceptional business skills and empowering belief systems.
So, she had a decade of intense high level business training, key contacts and access to finance before most kids had finished school.
The same applies with music - that world class drummer was born to two gifted hard working professional musicians. At the age of 4 as a boy he was beating the drums at 8am each morning before wandering off to school.
And releasing is the same story. Some people may have an advantage in having a background that showed them how to release. Most of those people won´t need the sedona method as they already let go. For the rest of use this is our opportunity to become the next overnight success!
And bear in mind...
Either you understand releasing or you do releasing. And understanding it means nothing unless you actually let feelings go.
I´m still learning how to release and it gets more profound the more I "work" at it. Sorry for using a four letter word!
Finally, let me say whether you stick at releasing until you get it is up to you - nobody else can do it for you. We can offer support here but it still is a question of your own commitment and persistence.

Sedona Method Cause And Effect
All that we see, hear and feel around us in the outside world are the results of our thinking on the inside. A great way to spot this is to consider: how did you cause this to happen?
Do this with a sense of complete responsibility for your world and you´ll have some interesting insights.
And notice how breakthroughs happen - you may get to a point of giving up and for some odd reason things come together for you i.e. a haphazard way of letting go.
So, your mind and emotions shifted first then your circumstances changed.
Finally, the division between out inside world and outside world is part of the illusion. Play with that idea and see what you let go....
Could it get any better?
