Almost forty years ago with my back to the wall and with only three months to live, I was forced to search for the answers to life. I decided to ask myself what it is we all want, and the answer came to me. We all want to be happy!
I had spent my entire life, looking for happiness and security in making money, having personal relationships and keeping busy. But, I only achieved happiness for short periods of time. Somehow happiness still eluded me.
I wondered, how could I get all the things I want and be happy all the time, too?
Most of the great philosophers have told us that our basic inherent nature is happiness. So what is it that happens that causes us to lose what is already ours? The answer is: Our feelings cover up our happiness and keep it hidden from us.
The key to securing the happiness that is yours . . . forever . . . is to discover how to discharge the negative feelings you've accumulated. By discharging these negative feelings, you will not only increase the happiness in your life, but everything else will get better too! Money, health, relationships, looks, you name it!
It's so simple and it’s the one answer you've been looking for.
Please give us the opportunity to share this with you. You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING TO GAIN.
Love,
Lester

Larry Crane - Release Technique Story: What would it be like if you were unable to worry?
Larry Crane - Release Technique Story...
Imagine feeling secure about the future and looking forward
to it with an excitement you have not felt since you were a
child. (This is the Larry Crane - Release Technique Story)
What I am going to talk about today is not for everyone...
It is true, the Release Technique Story of Larry Crane.
If you are open minded and of at least average intelligence
the following information could lead you to the most
important breakthrough of your entire life....
If you are as busy as me -- you know that making your life
better sometimes takes a back seat to dealing with that
never ending list of things to do that never gets done.
This is why as the UPS driver handed me the package and as
I signed his electonic pad -- I honestly did not know when
I would get a chance to listen to the potentially life
changing information I now held in my hands.
Later that evening...
I switched off the PC, ignored the TV and the phone... and
ripped open the first set of tapes.
Although some of what I listened to was familiar -- a lot
of it was totally different to anything I have ever heard.
This course produced by Larry Crane, a self made
millionaire, offers a new and refreshing alternative to
getting what you want whether that be greater happiness,
more confidence or greater success... and it works.
But first.
Let me tell you about Larry...
Larry was a very successful business man. He was
written up in the business press, including TIME magazine,
and made millions for himself.
And he had the luxury cars and planes, an expensive home and
he could buy whatever he wanted.
But.
He was extremely unhappy. In fact he was miserable and
hated his life. And he was angry and totally stressed out.
One night he even considered jumping off the roof terrace
of his 10 room Manhattan penthouse apartment. For about two
hours he contemplated jumping.
He didn´t.
This was a TURNING POINT and put him on a search for a way
to succeed and be happy without feeling stressed out,
worried and anxious.
His quest lead him to Lester Levenson and The Release
Technique...
http://www.workwealth.com/rt.htm
Let me tell you what I have gained already from listening
to this unusual course:
What Have I got from the Release Technique?
1. I Stopped Worrying
Like most people I have a knack for worrying about what
might go wrong. Even though I make a point of being
positive.
I can still have a few worrying thoughts working away in
the back of my mind that stop me from feeling total peace
of mind.
After listening to tape 4B its as if my worrying program
has short circuited. I feel secure about the future in a
way I never have before.
All of that negative thinking that used to tire me out and
leave me feeling anxious has evaporated.
And if I want to give this new state of mind even more
energy I can simply listen to this tape again anytime I
want.
2. I Feel Happier.
Even after listening to the first 5 tapes of this 10 tape
package I felt happier. All I did was follow along and do
the exercises under Larry´s guidance and things started to
feel different.
I feel lighter and more at ease with myself.
I notice myself smiling for no reason whatsoever. And when
you think about it shouldn´t this be true for all of us.
3. Problems Seem Less of a Challenge
Problems don´t seem so overwhelming and I have a new sense
of possibility. Whatever I put my mind to I can achieve.
I can think more clearly and find new and better solutions
to whatever challenges I am facing. This alone has given me
a whole new sense of what is possible.
4. I Approve of Myself More
I already knew that when it comes to having more success
that money does not motivate me once I have enough.
After completing the course it hit me. What I really want
by succeeding is the approval and respect of my role models.
And ironically this craving approval stops me from giving
100% Why? Because I am afraid I won´t get it.
The solution? Let go of wanting this approval.
I have been doing this for the past two days and I have had
the most productive week I have had in months and with less
EFFORT. It feels like I am in the flow...
I am making better decisions, taking less time to get
things done and not holding back when it comes to really
excelling with my work.
Imagine feeling like this every day!
You can...

Sedona Method Polarities
Over the weekend I was thinking about how I always seem to want more. I learn some great material like releasing and then I immediately want more results, more peace, and even more flashes of insight. It´s never enough!
So, inspired by the recent discussions on polarities and holistic releasing, I decided to create a set of polarities to deal with this. Here´s what I came up with:
Greed - Gratitude
Could you allow yourself to be as greedy as you are?
Could you allow yourself to be as grateful as you are?
Could you allow yourself to feel as much greed as you do?
Could you allow yourself to feel as much gratitude as you do?
I released on these polarities a lot over the weekend, and even as I type this there is more to release so I seem to have found a really charged issue.
What do you think? Even if the opposite of greed is not gratitude I decided to go ahead in the manner described above because it resonated for me.
Which would you rather - more freedom or more restriction?

Sedona Method As Part Of Your Daily Life
How to integrate releasing into your day...
Here is what I do.
1) Release specifically on going all the way with the Sedona Method i.e. let go of internal controls by the Ego that dictate whether and /or how you attain realisation.
2) When you wake up in the morning, while in that waking state, ask yourself :
Could you just allow yourself to feel what you are feeling?
Could you allow wanting control/security/approval to be completely present?
By starting the day in this way, I find it easier to maintain the momentum during the day.
3) During various activities as the day progresses, pay attention to how you feel in your body especially in your chest and stomach where relaxation or tension can often be detected more easily than elsewhere in the body.
Then just allow the feelings to be present, and let it go until you release to completion.
4) Read related material by spiritual masters. I have recently read Yogananda´s autobiography. He teached the same essential message that Lester Levenson taught i.e. this world is nothing more than a dream that we have not awakened from. And we can transcend it if we are disciplined and have the desire to do so.
Reading the thoughts of these masters stengthens my resolve to continue releasing for the long term. Yogananda used to meditate for hour upon hour everyday. That level of dedication is possible for us too if we are prepared to pay the price.
I think it is unreasonable to expect much from any spiritual or personal development philosophy unless you commit 100% to using it and making it part of who you are.
In my opinion, people who become seminar junkies are avoiding themselves, they choose to live in hope rather than living in the present moment. It takes courage to go all the way with the Sedona Method. What if you don´t get anywhere? What if it´s not what it claims to be? Let go of your fears and go all the way. Use the Method to make the most of the Method!
Anyone else with ideas? Please feel free to share what works for you. What works best for you in integrating the Method into your daily life?
Which do you prefer becoming free or the fantasy of being free?

Sedona Method for Happiness and Goal Attainment
I use releasing as a tool to enjoy my life more and to get what I want in the world. I find that the more I allow my BEingness to just be, the happier I am and the easier the game of life seems to be. And a growing feeling of oneness and love for all of life comes from somewhere inside of me. As well the sense of seperation from other people fades which is why for me the unrestrained ego is useful but only goes so far.When I am cultivating Ego I have a real sense of seperation and a cap on how much love I feel.
As my awareness expands or maybe it´s just my perceptions changing - I find that through meditation and releasing I tap into more of my creativity and inner resources, some would even use the word channel. Perhaps one can tap into the universal life force and make more of yourself by surrendering to something greater than yourself, whatever you want to call it.
Re to clarify re letting go of all limitations. What I mean is that if you release more and more of your self imposed limitations you will be able to get out of your own way. If you are 5 foot tall and very ambitious, you still might not be able to play basketball for a living but you may well become the best you can be at that sport.
When I mentioned letting go of all wanting, I was talking about wanting for nothing so that you could paradoxically have everything, if that is what you want to create. An inner focus on lack tends to expand lack in your life while also creating inner tension (motivation). You want, you feel tension, you achieve your goal and feel a release of tension because the lack is temporarily satisfied. And then the cycle starts over again.
I use releasing and the Silva Method to create the goal as already achieved in my mind. Then I let go of wanting it, and I can then do what it takes to create it without feeling tense, because I feel more certain of success, the quality of my actions is better and it comes across when I deal with people who in turn believe it will happen and so they contribute more.
Ultimately there may be a state of being where I can do the "sitting on my ass and just release technique" and the goal will be attained without any other effort on my part. If someone has consistently managed to do this and can prove it objectively then I´d love to hear from them. For me I release and take action and I believe that the having state rather than the wanting state helps me to be more effective, it may also bring about happy coincidences.
Clearing away all the desires helps me to see who I really am. The rest of the time I am so busy with doing and getting that I can seem to be just a gofer for some want.
Re wanting versus having when it comes to money. When I release into that havingness I get ideas about how to make more money and I also feel more satisfied with what I already have. I may spend a little more but nothing excessive.

Future Perfect Sedona Method
What would it be like if you wanted for nothing whatsoever? If you had no attachments and no aversions to any events, any people or any feelings – what would be left? Just you!
That might actually be quite challenging for most of us to deal with. Western cultures are so caught up in striving, doing and being active that to simply just be can seem lazy and unacceptable. As a result of this you may have major resistance to letting go of the identity that comes with being a productive, active member of society. We can easily equate productivity with virtue without really assessing the value or quality of the contribution itself. Hamsters are very busy creatures!
When I step forward in time in my imagination to a time when I have let go of all limitations, I sense a reality untainted by the DISease of wantings and at the same time it seems very odd. I´m finding it useful and productive to just allow these feelings to be as I´m sure they could well be working away in the background otherwise, working to keep me in the comfort zones I already know.
Becoming more means letting go of what you already know. Make it easier for yourself by having a bright future to aim for, and then let go of it.
Could it get even better?

Release to release - not to get when using the Sedona Method
A while back a friend pointed out that he gets the best results when he releases to let go rather than releasing to get something. It´s worth looking at this distinction more closely.
When do you most want to release? When you need or want something! Especially if things are not going your way, and at times like this you could not be more attached to wanting things to change. Consequently it is very easy to just get wound up trying harder and harder to have it all work out just the way you want it, just now. A great recipe for trying to release rather than releasing. i.e. putting your focus on the wanting and not on the letting go.
At times like this it´s good to release to let go of the limiting feelings and to leave the goal until later. Even release on the goal itself only allow your focus to be on getting lighter and freer not the goal itself. Use the goal as a signpost for your self imposed limitatations.
When you feel high you will then be more powerful in any releasing or actions you take towards goal attainment.

Sedona Method Tips - What you don´t want
Sedona Method tips...
The sedona method is all about getting what you want and dropping the holding in mind of what you don´t want. Read on for sedona method tips.
Have you noticed that you don´t always get what you want? Why? Because you have so many limiting beliefs and expectations - these nullify the occasional effort to focus on a positive outcome.
I have been getting into the habit of noticing what I don´t want, and each time one pops up I realise that for one reason or another I am setting myself up to attract negatives and difficulties. i.e. limitations.
Ask yourself:
What is it that I do not want to happen?
What am I worried about?
What am I afraid will happen?
Then let it all go. You´ll enjoy the peace of mind and maybe even have ideas that will propel forward towards what you really want.

Sedona Method Shopping Tips
One thing I have noticed lately is that the more I release the less desire I have for those things that I don´t really want when I am out shopping. That cloud of wanton desire just lifts and I can clearly assess whether or not I really want to buy the object in front of me.
Next time you are shopping, pause when you get caught up in that gimmee gimmee feeling and release first BEFORE heading over to the sales assistant with your credit credit.
Here´s what I do. When I´m in a shop considering buying something, I will just allow myself to feel whatever it is that I´m feeling in the moment. After a few moments the mental fog will lift.
Then I´ll decide if I really want the item- If I do I´ll get it although a lot of the time it´s just a feeling that I want rather than something outside of myself, and I ´ll have just got it by releasing!
Warning signs for me include that greedy feeling, that gimmee it now feeling or that sense that the item will really impress other people.

Sedona Method Newbie Guide
This posting is for you if you are looking to find out more about The Sedona Method. I will do my best to answer the following questions for you:
1 What is The Sedona Method?
2 Does it really work?
3 Who developed the Sedona Method and why?
4 How does it work?
5 Is it worth your time learning The Sedona Method?
Before I answer these questions I think it is important to tell you a little about my background and why I set up this site.
From an early age I found it fascinating that you could develop your mind and learn how to make your life better. The first course I ever took was The Silva Method, which was excellent and it got me off to a great start with personal development.
From there I continued to read anything good that I could get my hands on and I quickly realized that there are only so many principles to learn - after that you need to apply these principles daily in your life. So I did.
Life got better especially after I trained in NLP, that really boosted my confidence in what was possible and I got better and better at getting what I wanted in my life.
I started to earn a lot more money than ever before and I also started to find lots of new friends on the same wavelength which was great fun.
The next big jump in my happiness and success came after I became a Reiki healer. Reiki is very powerful and it gives you a heightened sensitivity to life and to the vibes that people give off.
When I was in a business meeting I could almost feel how the other people felt about the business of the day. And when I would meet someone for the first time, in those first few seconds I could feel their pain, their humanity and what they were really like as a person. What they said later in words would only confirm these strong intuitive impressions.
At this point you might be thinking - why am I telling you all this? Im telling you so that you know what my background is and so that you understand what experiences I already had when I first heard about The Sedona Method. Later on this will make more sense when you read about my first impressions of The Sedona Method.
Back to our story!
O.K. At this stage I was becoming more and more successful in my career and in my personal life. I was making a lot more money than ever before with a lot less effort and in my free time I had plenty of great friends that I enjoyed spending time with.
One morning I was driving to work in heavy traffic as usual. The office was only 15 miles from where I lived and I needed to allow 50 minutes to make sure I got to the office on time. Only this day was different - I was driving to work in a brand new Mercedes. Great eh?
The fact is I wasnt really enjoying myself. I was stressed out at work, I was really tired of endless traffic jams and the truth was that despite all the money I really didnt want to do this job anymore.
Unless I was happy at work all the other stuff meant very little to me. I decided it was time to work for myself so I stashed away some more money and left two months later. I have been self-employed ever since.
Why did I learn The Sedona Method?
A few months down the road I was still stressed much to my amazement and disappointment! I used all the tools I already knew and I felt a little better but still this new lifestyle without a salary coming in was very hard to adjust to.
I opened the mail one morning and read a mailing about The Sedona Method. It sounded like exactly what I was looking for even though I didnt understand what it was or how it worked.
A few hours later I was walking out of the house to go for a walk when I went back in to order the Sedona Method tapes. That intuition that I talked about earlier was screaming - get this now!
My first impressions were very positive. The system was very easy to learn and it felt great. I started to feel more in control of my life and happier and more at peace than I had in a long time. I had a feeling conviction that everything would work out jut fine, and it did.
I have now been using The Sedona Method for over 3 years and it seems to get better the more you use it. One caveat. You must use it each day. If you use it once and then expect your life to be better youll be setting yourself up for disappointment. It is designed to be part of how you live and to be used daily.
Now that you know what got me to the point of buying the Sedona Method, let us take a look at each of the questions above.
1 What is The Sedona Method?
Its a way to let go of limiting feelings that hold us back in life.
Many spiritual teachers talk about the importance of knowing what you want and then letting go of the desire. The problem is they dont always tell you HOW to let go! And until you do let go, making progress can be difficult, stressful and painfully slow. It can be like driving with the handbrake on.
Feelings like frustration, hate, envy, greed, fear and anger are part of day to day life for so many of us and they leave you tired and worn out by the end of the day.
Instead, if you know how, you could just let go of these feelings and enjoy feeling at peace and happy. The Sedona Method shows you a simple practical way to do this.
2 Does it really work?
I set up this site - the Sedona Method releasing Club way back on October 31st 1999 because of how impressed I am with The Sedona Method. If you look back over the several pages of postings at this discussion board you will read many, many accounts of how releasing works for me...and you will also read of how other people have successfully used it in their lives.
Click on Message Board in the left hand column of this page to go to the discussion board. You can then read these postings for yourself.
From my experience it does work if you work it! However nothing will happen if buy the best tools available and leave them in storage.
3 Who developed the Sedona Method and why?
Lester Levenson developed the Sedona Method. In 1952 at the age of 42 Lester suffered a massive heart attack and was so weak after he recovered that his doctor warned him that even the slightest effort could kill him. He was ordered to go home to his penthouse in New York and to rest.
Feeling deflated and very afraid of dying, Lester had a lot of time to sit and think about his life and to reflect on his success in life. He quickly realized that he had been a failure. Although he had made a lot of money and done well in business he had never really been happy. What had been the point in working so hard if he had destroyed his health in the process and if he was still unhappy?
He reasoned that if he could figure out how to be happy he might find the reasons why his health had been so poor. So he spent three months sitting alone in his penthouse endlessly analyzing what worked and what didnt work in the pursuit of happiness.
Over this short time he completely regained his health and his discoveries are now taught as The Sedona Method. Lester discovered how to have happiness without sorrow by letting go of the self imposed limiting feelings that hold you back from living your life the way you want it to be.
4 How does it work?
The Sedona Method works by teaching you how to let go of the limiting feelings that are stopping you from being, doing or having what you want. This is done by asking a series of questions that allow you to drop the blocks to moving ahead. The questions are simple and are only meaningful once you know how to use them to access those feelings that are holding you back.
Its like learning any new skill; it all seems very obvious afterwards and almost too easy.
5 Is it worth your time learning The Sedona Method?
Only you can answer this question.
At the beginning of this page I told you about my background so that you will understand why I feel so strongly about the Sedona Method despite already having many valuable tools at my disposal.
For me the Sedona Method is the missing link. There are many ways to get motivated, loads of courses that show you how to set and go after goals but no other course that shows you how to easily get out of your own way and get ahead while having more happiness.

5 Is it worth your time learning The Sedona Method?
Before I answer these questions I think it is important to tell you a little about my background and why I set up this site.
From an early age I found it fascinating that you could develop your mind and learn how to make your life better. The first course I ever took was The Silva Method, which was excellent and it got me off to a great start with personal development.
From there I continued to read anything good that I could get my hands on and I quickly realized that there are only so many principles to learn - after that you need to apply these principles daily in your life. So I did.
Life got better especially after I trained in NLP, that really boosted my confidence in what was possible and I got better and better at getting what I wanted in my life.
I started to earn a lot more money than ever before and I also started to find lots of new friends on the same wavelength which was great fun.
The next big jump in my happiness and success came after I became a Reiki healer. Reiki is very powerful and it gives you a heightened sensitivity to life and to the vibes that people give off.
When I was in a business meeting I could almost feel how the other people felt about the business of the day. And when I would meet someone for the first time, in those first few seconds I could feel their pain, their humanity and what they were really like as a person. What they said later in words would only confirm these strong intuitive impressions.
At this point you might be thinking - why am I telling you all this? Im telling you so that you know what my background is and so that you understand what experiences I already had when I first heard about The Sedona Method. Later on this will make more sense when you read about my first impressions of The Sedona Method.
Back to our story!
O.K. At this stage I was becoming more and more successful in my career and in my personal life. I was making a lot more money than ever before with a lot less effort and in my free time I had plenty of great friends that I enjoyed spending time with.
One morning I was driving to work in heavy traffic as usual. The office was only 15 miles from where I lived and I needed to allow 50 minutes to make sure I got to the office on time. Only this day was different - I was driving to work in a brand new Mercedes. Great eh?
The fact is I wasnt really enjoying myself. I was stressed out at work, I was really tired of endless traffic jams and the truth was that despite all the money I really didnt want to do this job anymore.
Unless I was happy at work all the other stuff meant very little to me. I decided it was time to work for myself so I stashed away some more money and left two months later. I have been self-employed ever since.

Resisting and Getting
just wanted to take a moment to share some learnings and recent experiences.
On Sunday I felt like things were not working out very well in my business, I had launched a promotional campaign last week and had not got anywhere near the results I expected and hoped for.
I spent quite a lot of time analysing what was working and not working. I wondered why my results were not better. Then I got nowhere trying to figure out what to do next.
So, I put on my Light & Sound machine and spent two 35 minute sessions in a state of deep relaxation releasing on my resistance to having things work out well. I certainly felt a lot beter after doing this - less stressed and worried and a lot more optimistic that somehow things would work out. I didn´t feel completely at peace but a lot better.
Still, I didn´t have any new solutions pop into my head as I sometimes do after releasing.
Then Sunday I found some material online that answers a lot of the issues I need a strategy for. Finally yesterday I stumbled onto exactly what I need right now to get the results I want!
Moral of this story - thinking and reasoning will only get you so far, releasing is the missing link that lets you tap into the collective unconscious and its storehouse of knowledge.
Could it get any better?

Releasing Blue Light
I spent an hour last night releasing on one question:
Which would you rather - wanting security or having security?
For most of that time until the last five minutes the answer that popped up was wanting security and then at the end it changed to having security. And all of the time I was releasing deeply with deep breathing happening all by itself.
I had my eyes closed. What was interesting was the images that came with this shift.
I started imagining a strong dark blue colour radiating out from my chest to my entire body and then away from me as I exhaled.
Afterwards I felt a sense of deep peace.
Has anyone else had a similar experience and seen colours when you release?
Peter

"No!" is an acceptable response
Today I was releasing on a minor irritation where I did not get my way with a friend.
I started releasing and I wanted a Yes response to the could you, would you questions. And I was forcing the answers so I got stuck. I was also releasing to get something rather than to let it go!!
Once I allowed to answer to be No! ... if that is what was to come up - the releasing went fine.
Note to myself: release to let go not to get something and No is an acceptable response

Sedona Method Tips - Why Did X Happen?
One recurring theme of Sedona Method students is the need to understand why X happened.
Releasing is all about letting go of feelings. That´s it! Letting go has nothing to do with peeking into your past to figure out why something happened.
Ironically, if you will just release on the past - insights may well pop up out of the blue.
Look at it another way, how many years have you spent attempting to figure it out? It didn´t get you to where you want to be or you wouldn´t be reading this message and learning how to release.
Looking forward. Keep releasing as simple as possible and do it daily and you will enjoy massive progress.

Responsibility for the Big Bucks $$$$
I wanted to let you know what I have been up to this week...
I was listening to the Larry Crane tapes and stopped the tape when I got to the section on Responsibility (page 48 in the manual) to spend more time on that section.
Lester said that taking responsibility is both a powerful way to create abundance and a way to accelerate your releasing.
He suggested taking full responsibility for everything that is happening to you because you created it. Do this by examining your thinking and correcting it by letting go of the limitations you become aware of.
How? Ask yourself: wherein did I cause this to happen to me?
To apply this to abundance, ask yourself:
Wherein Did I Cause My Lack of Abundance?
I have been releasing on this question for an hour at a time each day this week and its amazing what is coming to the surface to be released.
Here are some of the issues that popped up for me to release and the deeper wanting I was seeking:
not wanting to stand out from the crowd - wanting approval
guilt about being rich when many people are poor - wanting control
holding back so as not to be too successful - wanting control
not applying all the knowledge I have - wanting control
afraid of losing what I accumulate - wanting security
I had no idea I had so many limiting thoughts stopping me from having abundance. Its incredible I managed to earn any money with the baggage I have in my unconscious mind!
The more I release on this question the clearer I am getting about the way ahead and the more determined I am to make my life more abundant in love, happiness and wealth.
In fact, right now I am angry about my lack of abundance whereas in the past I did´t really care. So clearly I have moved from Apathy to Anger after just a few hours of releasing.
Peace -- here I come!

Having it NOW
I was listening to some tapes of Lester recently and he was pointing out that a lot of people make the mistake of not releasing to have their goals now - instead they release on having them in the future.
This results in the attainment of your goals staying in the future.
Think about a goal you have that has not manifested yet....
When you think about having this - when will that be?
If your sense of having it is in the future you may have resistance to having it now. Could you let the resistance go?
Goal setting is an integral part of the Sedona Method. If you want a refresher...
Wording a goal statement - 10 guidelines on page 45 of the course manual
Goal Chart - page 50 - release on goal
Action Steps - page 51 - release on "to do list"
Advantages and Disadvantages - page 96
Likes and Dislikes - page 38
I regard goal setting as a crucial part of the Sedona Method whether you want more happiness, love, abundance or freedom.

Sedona Method - Miracles May Take Time
When you read Sedona Method or Release Technique success stories it is easy to feel like you are doing something wrong.
Why haven´t you won the lottery yet? Why hasn´t your perfect lover walked (literally) right up to your front door?
Why haven´t you cured that irritating illness that you haven´t been able to shake off for years?
First of all let me say that it is okay to release and to take action on your goals.
This reminds me of the joke about the man who had been praying to God for years for a windfall of millions of dollars. God finally responded to his call for an explanation. When God spoke this is what he said: "It would help if you bought a lottery ticket from time to time!"
The ultimate Grand Master Releaser may well be able to sit on his or her chair all day long and do nothing other than releasing... and allow in whatever he or she desires.
You are not there yet.
That ultimate releaser state might be a good long-term goal. How about taking the pressure off and getting started with small goals first?
If you were a learner driver would you apply to compete in a Formula One race? Of course not, you would learn how to drive first!
The first stage is to release, make it part of how you live, set goals and start releasing to completion.
For now, pay attention to your intuition as it will guide you to do certain things, go to certain places and to talk to certain people. The more you release the more you will know the best course of action. Your assessment of situations will improve because your thinking will not be clouded by emotion.
I get great results with releasing and it helps me to create lots of lucky coincidences. I also take a lot of action - I follow through and act on my intuition.

Sedona Method Success - what does it take?
I wanted to comment on a theme that pops up from time to time.
It goes like this... "I have been releasing for 6 months and nothing much is happening!"
Here are some pointers to help you move ahead...
1. Your success with the Sedona Method depends on your correct application of the method.
Doing it the wrong way for a long time will not yield results.
Even if you think you have been releasing for two years - if you haven´t been actually releasing you have no experience of releasing. You are still at day one.
When you are new to releasing I highly recommend that you follow the instructions to the letter and only later on, after you have evidence it is working, customise it to your own way of doing things.
Let me give you an example. I play tennis and have done so since I was a boy. Like most tennis players my backhand is weaker than my forehand.
Why is my backhand weaker? I have hit as many balls on that side as on my forehand side over the years.
Because I have been repeating the same ineffective stroke year after year.
Am I going to do anything about it? I´m not, because it`s not that important to me.
In terms of releasing you need a good enough reason to change what you are doing - if your life depended on it I´ll bet you would be releasing like a master before the day is out.
2. Vague notions about what success with the Sedona Method means will get you frustrated
What do you regard as success? Total bliss, fantastic relationships and amazing health?
These are very vague and intangible ideals. You have to get highly specific about what you want. This is the only way to know if you are making progress or not.
Measure where you are today and track your progress or lack of it. If you are clearly making progress then keep doing what is working.
If things are not getting better stop doing what is not working and get help.
3. Releasing with the Sedona Method is simple
Does this mean that all you is ask could you, would you?
No!
It is not really about asking and answering questions - it is all about feelings not thoughts.
There are several different ways to release, all of which are covered in the course.
If one approach does not work for you then use one of the other approaches.
I have much more success when I do not use could you, would you.
A common mistake is the attempt to complicate the simplicity by adding steps or by leaving steps out. If you end up with your own variation and it does not work don´t blame anyone else for its ineffectiveness.
Releasing is a very different way of operating in the world - if it seems difficult to you right now its because you are still learning how to do it. It really is simple once you get past the learner driver stage!
4. Big results happen with the Sedona Method when you let go of it all
If you want a big demonstration of what releasing can do you have to earn it by releasing to completion on your goal.
Pick a highly specific goal and release until you have no resistance, no fear and no attachments or aversions to the goal.
This is easy and quick for small goals that are within your sense of possibility.
If the goal is way outside your sense of what is possible for YOU now in this very moment then you have a lot of releasing to do. And two hours releasing is unlikely to be enough.
For example, let ´s say you have never sung in public in your life and you want to sing your No.1 hit song on national TV.
Is it possible? Yes!
Is it possible for you today? The answer needs to be a congruent Yes expressed from a hootless state. Only then have you let go.
5. Your starting point with the Sedona Method is a factor in your success
Why doesn´t everyone get fast results? Well, maybe releasing isn´t for everyone. Give it 100% and decide for yourself.
At the end of the day, if you already had an ability to let go before you discovered releasing you will see results sooner rather than later.
For me it was a new experience feeling my feelings as I had done a great job of suppressing them for years. I had to learn to feel them BEFORE I could let them go so it took me longer than some to get it.
6. Miracles may take time
When you read Sedona Method or Release Technique success stories it is easy to feel like you are doing something wrong.
Why haven´t you won the lottery yet? Why hasn´t your perfect lover walked (literally) right up to your front door?
Why haven´t you cured that irritating illness that you haven´t been able to shake off for years?

I get great results with releasing and it helps me to create lots of lucky coincidences. I also take a lot of action - I follow through and act on my intuition.
What can you do now?
1. If you already have the Sedona Method or Release Technique course - review the material to make sure you are following the instructions. Have you misunderstood something? Have you forgotten something?
2. If you do not have one of the two releasing courses you can find out more now at...

You do not need both courses - choose the one that appeals to you most.

These are very vague and intangible ideals. You have to get highly specific about what you want. This is the only way to know if you are making progress or not.
Measure where you are today and track your progress or lack of it. If you are clearly making progress then keep doing what is working.
If things are not getting better stop doing what is not working and get help.
3. Releasing with the Sedona Method is simple
Does this mean that all you is ask could you, would you?
No!
It is not really about asking and answering questions - it is all about feelings not thoughts.
There are several different ways to release, all of which are covered in the course.
If one approach does not work for you then use one of the other approaches.
I have much more success when I do not use could you, would you.
A common mistake is the attempt to complicate the simplicity by adding steps or by leaving steps out. If you end up with your own variation and it does not work don´t blame anyone else for its ineffectiveness.
Releasing is a very different way of operating in the world - if it seems difficult to you right now its because you are still learning how to do it. It really is simple once you get past the learner driver stage!
4. Big results happen with the Sedona Method when you let go of it all
If you want a big demonstration of what releasing can do you have to earn it by releasing to completion on your goal.
Pick a highly specific goal and release until you have no resistance, no fear and no attachments or aversions to the goal.
This is easy and quick for small goals that are within your sense of possibility.
If the goal is way outside your sense of what is possible for YOU now in this very moment then you have a lot of releasing to do. And two hours releasing is unlikely to be enough.
For example, let ´s say you have never sung in public in your life and you want to sing your No.1 hit song on national TV.
Is it possible? Yes!
Is it possible for you today? The answer needs to be a congruent Yes expressed from a hootless state. Only then have you let go.
5. Your starting point with the Sedona Method is a factor in your success
Why doesn´t everyone get fast results? Well, maybe releasing isn´t for everyone. Give it 100% and decide for yourself.
At the end of the day, if you already had an ability to let go before you discovered releasing you will see results sooner rather than later.
For me it was a new experience feeling my feelings as I had done a great job of suppressing them for years. I had to learn to feel them BEFORE I could let them go so it took me longer than some to get it.
6. Miracles may take time
When you read Sedona Method or Release Technique success stories it is easy to feel like you are doing something wrong.
Why haven´t you won the lottery yet? Why hasn´t your perfect lover walked (literally) right up to your front door?
Why haven´t you cured that irritating illness that you haven´t been able to shake off for years?
First of all let me say that it is okay to release and to take action on your goals.
This reminds me of the joke about the man who had been praying to God for years for a windfall of millions of dollars. God finally responded to his call for an explanation. When God spoke this is what he said: "It would help if you bought a lottery ticket from time to time!"
The ultimate Grand Master Releaser may well be able to sit on his or her chair all day long and do nothing other than releasing... and allow in whatever he or she desires.
You are not there yet.
That ultimate releaser state might be a good long-term goal. How about taking the pressure off and getting started with small goals first?
If you were a learner driver would you apply to compete in a Formula One race? Of course not, you would learn how to drive first!
The first stage is to release, make it part of how you live, set goals and start releasing to completion.
For now, pay attention to your intuition as it will guide you to do certain things, go to certain places and to talk to certain people. The more you release the more you will know the best course of action. Your assessment of situations will improve because your thinking will not be clouded by emotion.
I get great results with releasing and it helps me to create lots of lucky coincidences. I also take a lot of action - I follow through and act on my intuition.
What can you do now?
1. If you already have the Sedona Method or Release Technique course - review the material to make sure you are following the instructions. Have you misunderstood something? Have you forgotten something?
2. If you do not have one of the two releasing courses you can find out more now at...

What If - You Could Let Go Of All Limitations
This page is for you if you are surfing to find out more about me and why I decided to learn about emotional releasing and The Sedona Method. I will do my best to answer the following questions for you:
1 What is The Sedona Method?
2 Does it really work?
3 Who developed the Sedona Method and why?
4 How does it work?
5 Is it worth your time learning The Sedona Method?
Before I answer these questions I think it is important to tell you a little about my background and why I set up this site to share Sedona Method tips and insights.
From an early age I found it fascinating that you could develop your mind and learn how to make your life better. The first course I ever took was The Silva Method, which was excellent and it got me off to a great start with personal development.
From there I continued to read anything good that I could get my hands on and I quickly realized that there are only so many principles to learn - after that you need to apply these principles daily in your life. So I did.
Life got better especially after I trained in NLP, that really boosted my confidence in what was possible and I got better and better at getting what I wanted in my life.
I started to earn a lot more money than ever before and I also started to find lots of new friends on the same wavelength which was great fun.
The next big jump in my happiness and success came after I became a Reiki healer. Reiki is very powerful and it gives you a heightened sensitivity to life and to the vibes that people give off.
When I was in a business meeting I could almost feel how the other people felt about the business of the day. And when I would meet someone for the first time, in those first few seconds I could feel their pain, their humanity and what they were really like as a person. What they said later in words would only confirm these strong intuitive impressions.
At this point you might be thinking - why am I telling you all this? Im telling you so that you know what my background is and so that you understand what experiences I already had when I first heard about The Sedona Method. Later on this will make more sense when you read about my first impressions of The Sedona Method.
Back to our story!
O.K. At this stage I was becoming more and more successful in my career and in my personal life. I was making a lot more money than ever before with a lot less effort and in my free time I had plenty of great friends that I enjoyed spending time with.
One morning I was driving to work in heavy traffic as usual. The office was only 15 miles from where I lived and I needed to allow 50 minutes to make sure I got to the office on time. Only this day was different - I was driving to work in a brand new Mercedes. Great eh?
The fact is I wasnt really enjoying myself. I was stressed out at work, I was really tired of endless traffic jams and the truth was that despite all the money I really didnt want to do this job anymore.
Unless I was happy at work all the other stuff meant very little to me. I decided it was time to work for myself so I stashed away some more money and left two months later. I have been self-employed ever since.
Why did I learn The Sedona Method?
A few months down the road I was still stressed much to my amazement and disappointment! I used all the tools I already knew and I felt a little better but still this new lifestyle without a salary coming in was very hard to adjust to.
I opened the mail one morning and read a mailing about The Sedona Method. It sounded like exactly what I was looking for even though I didnt understand what it was or how it worked.
A few hours later I was walking out of the house to go for a walk when I went back in to order the Sedona Method tapes. That intuition that I talked about earlier was screaming - get this now!
My first impressions were very positive. The system was very easy to learn and it felt great. I started to feel more in control of my life and happier and more at peace than I had in a long time. I had a feeling conviction that everything would work out just fine, and it did.
I have now been using The Sedona Method for over 3 years and it seems to get better the more you use it. One caveat. You must use it each day. If you use it once and then expect your life to be better youll be setting yourself up for disappointment. It is designed to be part of how you live and to be used daily.
Now that you know what got me to the point of buying the Sedona Method, let us take a look at each of the questions above.
1 What is The Sedona Method?
It is a way to let go of limiting feelings that hold us back in life. i.e. you release emotional states that are holding you back.
Many spiritual teachers talk about the importance of knowing what you want and then letting go of the desire. The problem is they dont always tell you HOW to let go! And until you do let go, making progress can be difficult, stressful and painfully slow. It can be like driving with the handbrake on.
Feelings like frustration, hate, envy, greed, fear and anger are part of day to day life for so many of us and they leave you tired and worn out by the end of the day.
Instead, if you know how, you could just let go of these feelings and enjoy feeling at peace and happy. The Sedona Method shows you a simple practical way to do this.
2 Does it really work?
I set up a site - the Sedona Method releasing Club way back on October 31st 1999 because of how impressed I am with The Sedona Method. If you look back over the several pages of postings at this discussion board you will read many, many accounts of how releasing works for me...and you will also read of how other people have successfully used it in their lives.
You can then read these postings for yourself.
http://groups.msn.com/TheSedonaMethodreleasingClub/messageboard.msnw
From my experience it does work if you work it! However nothing will happen if buy the best tools available and leave them in storage.
3 Who developed the Sedona Method and why?
Lester Levenson developed the Sedona Method. In 1952 at the age of 42 Lester suffered a massive heart attack and was so weak after he recovered that his doctor warned him that even the slightest effort could kill him. He was ordered to go home to his penthouse in New York and to rest.
Feeling deflated and very afraid of dying, Lester had a lot of time to sit and think about his life and to reflect on his success in life. He quickly realized that he had been a failure. Although he had made a lot of money and done well in business he had never really been happy. What had been the point in working so hard if he had destroyed his health in the process and if he was still unhappy?
He reasoned that if he could figure out how to be happy he might find the reasons why his health had been so poor. So he spent three months sitting alone in his penthouse endlessly analyzing what worked and what didnt work in the pursuit of happiness.
Over this short time he completely regained his health and his discoveries are now taught as The Sedona Method. Lester discovered how to have happiness without sorrow by letting go of the self imposed limiting feelings that hold you back from living your life the way you want it to be.
4 How does it work?
The Sedona Method works by teaching you how to let go of the limiting feelings that are stopping you from being, doing or having what you want. This is done by asking a series of questions that allow you to drop the blocks to moving ahead. The questions are simple and are only meaningful once you know how to use them to access those feelings that are holding you back.
Its like learning any new skill; it all seems very obvious afterwards and almost too easy.
5 Is it worth your time learning The Sedona Method?
Only you can answer this question.
At the beginning of this page I told you about my background so that you will understand why I feel so strongly about the Sedona Method despite already having many valuable tools at my disposal.
For me the Sedona Method is the missing link. There are many ways to get motivated, loads of courses that show you how to set and go after goals but no other course that shows you how to easily get out of your own way and get ahead while having more happiness.

Letting go of wanting your own approval
It is easy to see how important it is to be approved by those
people who matter most to you in your life. Family and friends
are the ones you turn to first in a time of crisis. You count on
them for support and encouragement and their approval of who you
are and what you do is deeply significant.
Ever had a time in your life when those closest to you
disapproved of your behavior? It is very uncomfortable is it not?
In a moment, peace of mind can vanish in a puff of smoke and you
crave approval more than anything else. This time in the
wilderness seems to last forever and when it is finally over the
newly earned approval of your peers feels just great.
This wanting approval can get out of control though. We can
easily extend this need for approval to all people we come into
contact with in our life. When we want and need approval
we encounter this lack of approval everywhere we go; the waiter
does not smile when he takes your order; the checkout operator
hardly looks at you; and your boss only compliments your work when
the moon is full and the first Tuesday of the month precedes a wet
weekend!
All of a sudden life is a struggle, a constant battle to get other
people, all people, to like you and to approve of you. And the more
you want this approval the less you seem to get it.
What is the solution? The answer is to not be concerned about what
other people think of you. This can be achieved by approving of
yourself completely despite your past indiscretions, failings and
errors of judgment. When you totally accept and approve of
yourself you will have little interest in how other people view
you. If they like you *Great*, if they do not, that is their
choice and their loss.
There are many ways to boost your opinion of yourself. I have
discovered that just letting go of wanting your own approval works
really well. Simply ask yourself the following question:
Could I let go of wanting my own approval?
Sounds too simple to work. I know! It works if and only if you
ask the question with your attention on your feeling response not
on the answer that pops into your head. Our goal is to let go of
the limiting feelings, this is not a mental exercise.
Spend twenty minutes concentrating on this question. Ask the
question again and again, and each time just notice your feeling
response before asking the question again. After twenty minutes
you can expect to feel lighter and more at peace with yourself.
Your breathing may also change and it is likely to become deeper
and more relaxed.
The effect of letting go of wanting your approval is that you
release the limitations that stop you from approving of yourself
and you are left with what you wanted - your own approval.
You can also ask yourself the question, could I let go of wanting
my own approval?... anytime you need to communicate at your best
to make a good impression. Just say it softly to yourself under
your breath or quietly inside your head. Ask the question, notice
your feeling response, and repeat the process again and again.
By approving completely of yourself you will not be concerned
with winning the approval of your listeners and ironically
people will tend to reflect this approval back to you since they
will take you at your own value.
Now, go and prove this for yourself!
Could it get any better?
