Is there a secret to success with the sedona method?
Don´t think that others here know it all. Releasing and having success with the sedona method is very simple if we would only keep it simple!You may already know more than you realise!
My favourite line on this is from Lester Levenson: "I only know what I can do!"
So, just keep letting go and you´ll have more and more of those happy coincidences.
The sedona method will become second nature before you know it and you will success after success.
Could it get any better?

Sedona Method and How to Let Go
Here is a tip I wrote for a friend about the Sedona Method and How to Let Go.
Why? Because we often focus on the wrong thing when we want to use the Sedona Method to let go............
That is a good question and an experience that I expect we all have at times or even most of the time when using the Sedona Method to let go.
It sounds like you are releasing to feel good. i.e. releasing to get something. And this is not how releasing works. We need to release to let go of wanting the goal itself..
So, release to release. Just let go to let go. Ironically when you do this things come your way and you will feel good. The idea is to let the limiting feelings go and when they have left all you will have is peace.
When we release with the intention of achieving a goal we are reinforcing the attachment to the goal. Part of you is actively holding onto the goal even as you pretend to let it go!
Instead, release with the intention of letting go of the goal - only then will get to the hootless state. And that feels great.
Finally, you might like to play with changing the feeling to love. Notice whatever feeling is present and ask yourself:
Could I change this feeling to love?

Sedona Method and Happiness
Sedona Method and Happiness- How much pleasure can you handle?
What if you could feel wonderfully happy even though your life isn´t perfect yet? Well you can. If you choose to!
Three suggestions for you:
1. Release on an issue which has nothing to do with money. Do this just to feel great - because when you go high you can release with greater ease on stuck issues such as money. Then, and only then, release on money.
2. Love yourself anyway even if you don´t have all the pieces of paper and metal you want or need.
3. Release to let go... not to get something. Otherwise you are building the attachments and aversions - and not releasing at all.
When you want something with intensity you are in a state of lust - in that state of mind it is very difficult to think straight. That is why when we release we can think more clearly and find novel solutions. So release and move up the scale of emotions.
Waiting until everything is absolutely perfect before you feel happy is certainly one approach however how many splt second moments have you ever had like that? Not many!
And yes being happy is also very practical - people want to be around happy people and when you infect others with your happiness they will do all that they can to help you.
Be happy even if everything isn´t perfect yet!

The following testimonials represents just some of the benefits you can receive from the Sedona Method®. These are real testimonials received people who have benefited from the Sedona Method over the past quarter of a century. (extracted from the Sedona Method site)
Sedona Method Testimonial 1:
“I have looked into other methods of stress management before finding The Sedona Method, but have not discovered anything else so simple, powerful and rapidly effective. It is very exciting to observe changes occurring quite quickly which are clearly the result of releasing. The most appealing feature of the Method for me is that no belief system is imposed and people can use it completely on their own with great success.”…Dr. Louis Ormont, Professor of Psychology at Adelphi University
Sedona Method Testimonial 2:
"During a break on Dynasty, I decided to take part in The Sedona Method course. I was suffering from several stressful situations in my personal life, so I went to see if the Method really worked. It’s amazing how much more you can achieve if you get rid of frustration and anxiety in your daily life. It really works! The technique relieves stress and has been enormously useful to me." Joan Collins, Star of Dynasty and author of the book, "My Secrets"
Sedona Method Testimonial 3:
“I have in the past been given to somewhat hysterical types of reactions, in that I was quick to judge and often quick to anger. I now find myself much more in the present moment, much more able to just relax and have that sense of calm and peace. The more I experience the calm that the Sedona Method has helped me with, the easier it is to become aware of those reactions early on and just let go and not let things fester.”…C.D., Walla Walla, WA
Sedona Method Testimonial 4:
"I used the Sedona Method on my smoking and found that the anxiety that drove me to smoke was gone. I stopped smoking."…Paul Mendez, New York
Sedona Method Testimonial 5:
"The biggest gain I can report to you at this time is that the (Sedona) Method has allowed me to survive the collapse of my business. Soon after, I was able to secure a great job at a wonderful firm. It's made a believer out of me."…Graduate

Larry Crane and The Release Technique - Success
FROM: Larry Crane of The Release Technique
I am writing to notify you about a development that I believe
is the greatest advancement in the history of behavioral
science.
It is a way to dramatically show you how to have a constant
winning attitude, all the time, in anything you do. It is not
motivational psychology, physical therapy, positive thinking,
subliminal programming, meditation, or anything like that.
A few years ago, I started to teach my success system with
others, just like you, on how to succeed in the game of life.
Since then, hundreds of people have attended live courses
taught around the country.
I have kept in contact with many of the Graduates who
attended. The results have been Phenomenal!
Many graduates have doubled and tripled their income, became a
partner with their employer, climbed the corporate ladder,
retired wealthy, gained a competitive edge, taken charge of
their lives, overcome serious problems, gotten a clear
direction in life.
They have gone into business for themselves and are doing
spectacularly well! They have moved into brand new homes and
have gotten better jobs, become healthier.
The momentum has been wonderful and it’’s spreading. It is my
intent to have you be successful in everything you do in life!
Now become a winner in the game of life
For years I kept looking and looking for the answers, then I
met a remarkable man. That meeting changed my life forever. He
told me, "You have no limits except those you hold on to in
your mind and when you let go of these limits you can have, do
or be whatever you desire."
At that time it sounded great but I thought "how could this be
true?" I decided to prove it out for myself.
So, I sat down and examined my thinking; I made a list of
everything in life that I wanted.
The list of wants was long and I noticed the things I wanted
were everything I didn’t have. How could I correct my
thinking? I was holding in mind all these limitations.
At the top of my list of wants was being a great success in
life. I wanted money and lots of it. Yet, I was working six
days a week, 12-hour days and barely feeding my family. I was
busy working instead of have a life.
I then made a list of all the reasons why I wasn’’t achieving
the success that I felt I deserved. The list was long. I felt
guilty, angry, confused, fearful, apathetic, and I felt a lot
of insecurity.
The answers came to me...
It was like somebody hit me over the head with a baseball bat.
For the first time in my life I realized that...
. . . It was my own negative emotions that were actually
stopping me from achieving the success that I wanted.
So, I decided to see if I could rid myself of these limited
thoughts and feelings that were keeping me from attaining
success in life.
To my amazement, I discovered that I had a natural ability to
release these limiting thoughts and feelings. I was able to
rid myself of guilt, fear, beating myself up, confusion,
apathy, poor self image, my lack of self-confidence,
insecurity and more.
The systems works and it's simple
The system was so simple I wondered if anyone would believe
me. So I decided to prove to the world that I could use the
system to make a bundle of money.
A short time later I became a self-made millionaire, my
relations started to work, I met and married the most
gorgeous gal.
I bought a ten-room penthouse in Manhattan, a 160 acre ranch
in Arizona and everything I turned to became successful with
ease and most of all, I became the embodiment of unchangeable
peace and happiness.
It's easy to show you how to have abundance because the
ability to have abundance is already there, in you.
Over 50,000 other people have already proven this out. In
fact, until recently all the people that we’’ve helped have
come to us through word of mouth. Can you imagine
thousands of people coming to you by word of mouth only?
After scientifically proving that this system works for
everyone who learns it, my only wish is to have as many people
as possible learn how to have abundance with ease.
A System Scientifically Verified by Harvard and Columbia
University Researchers...
Researchers Dr. David McClelland of Harvard University and Dr.
Richard Davidson of the State University of New York have
found "The Release Technique stands out far beyond
the rest for its simplicity, efficiency, absence of
questionable concepts and rapidity of observable results."
Read what practicing psychiatrist John L. Kemeny, M.D., and
former associate of Albert Einstein and retired professor at
New York's Columbia University said:
The Release Technique is a profound breakthrough in the
history of behavioral science. The Release Technique liberates
the subconscious mind and allows one to rid themselves of
negativity at any level.
The work that Larry Crane is teaching is a major breakthrough
in the field of behavioral science. By participating
experientially, you will reach a place where
nothing and no one will ever bother you again.
A place where you can eliminate all of your I can'ts and turn
them into I can's. I have used the Release Technique myself
for over 20 years successfully. I highly recommend it to
anyone who wants to overcome their limitations and lower their
stress level with ease.

P.S. Here is what one Release Technique graduate had to say:
I think it is becoming evident, in my observation, that the
techniques learned in the program were beneficial to people
who work under the stress and strain that we do in the
investment banking industry. I have personally benefited,
especially when I ran in the New York City Marathon shortly
after an illness.

How the Sedona Method works
The way releasing with the sedona method works still surprises me some times.
A few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon I released for an hour on happiness using this polarity:
Welcome resistance to being happy
Welcome resistance to being unhappy
After I finished the session I felt very happy and very energetic with a wonderful sense of peace. And to my surprise I spent the next three hours tidying up part of the house I let become chaotic over the last five years.
In the past my fear would have been that if I get "too" happy I will get lazy and waste my life. I still need to remind myself that I am a human being and not a human doing!
Releasing changes the quality of your experience - you can do from a state of lack and unease or you can do from a state of happiness. And the more you release the clearer you get on what you do want to do and on what you really do not want to do. You can then eliminate a lot of unimportant activity.
Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water. After enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water.....

Lester Levenson on Happiness with the Sedona Method
What is the one thing you want more than anything else for the
people you love the most? If you had a magic wand what would you
grant your family and friends? What is it that everyone wants?
To be happy!
How can you make other people happy until you are happy? How can
you be happy?
Lester Levenson, creator of The Sedona Method, discovered the key
to happiness. He searched for 47 years and nearly died in the
process but he did find it.
Do you want to know what it is?
Lester had a breakthrough after much soul searching and found out
how to be happy only after reviewing his entire life. He spotted
a common pattern, one that was present in every happy moment.
Whenever he was feeling love towards another person he felt happy.
And whenever he felt any other feeling he was not happy.
Test this principle for yourself. Think of a time when you were
blissfully happy. Did you feel loving at that time? This works for
me every time. Is this easy or what? Simply amazing!
If this sounds too simple to work I know that you have not tested
it for yourself. Turning on a light bulb is easy too only because
someone else figured it out!
- who do I love most in my life?
- what do I love most about myself?
- what things do I love most in my life?
After doing this exercise you will feel much happier. And you
will have done it without having to spend any money on expensive
clothes, cars or holidays!
The Dalai Lama teaches that the purpose of life is to be happy.
Go on and live a life of purpose with your family and friends!

Who was Lester Levenson? Sedona Method Founder...
People wonder who Lester Levenson was? Was Lester an ordinary man who had an extraordinary life? Or maybe Lester Levenson was an extraordinary man all along!
Read this extract from the release technique site to find out...
(I added my comments in brackets.)
Lester Levenson was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on July 19, 1909, to Jewish emigrant parents.
He grew up much loved, doted on by his parents and three sisters. Yet his predominant characteristic was shyness. He was extremely withdrawn and introspective, constantly wondering what this life was about. His parents were not really religious but his grandfathers on both sides were holy people, rabbis. Lester Levenson was 21 when his beloved mother and father died. He refused to say the prayer for the dead. "Will that bring them back? If it does, I'll say it." Then defiantly he turned away from God.
(so Lester was really like most of us, an ordinary childhood with the typical challenges, ups and downs, and a good background.)
Lester Levenson sailed through school and college with astonishing ease, becoming a physicist, an engineer, a successful businessman and a self-made millionaire. Yet despite all his achievements there was an innate turmoil in his heart, an anxiety and stress that seemed to rule his life.
(we can all relate to the stress and pressure we take on as we get older, thankfully Lester found the answer to this age old challenge)
In 1952, at the age of 42, Lester Levenson had his second massive heart attack. In those days, they did not have bypass surgery or heart transplants and so when he came out of the emergency room, the doctors told him, "Lester, we're sorry to tell you, but you have two weeks to live, three at the most, and we can't do anything for you. So we're sending you home."
So Lester Levenson went home.
He was extremely fearful of dying, but he said to himself, "You're still breathing, Lester; there is still a chance." Then he sat down and began thinking around-the-clock. He had always been considered a brilliant man. Always on the honor roll. The recipient of a four-year scholarship to Rutgers University back in the days when few scholarships were handed out. But he said to himself, "Lester, you are stupid, stupid, stupid! All this accumulated knowledge, all this intellect has gotten you to the place that you're a dead man! And if you don't uncover what's in the way, eliminate it, you're going to die!"
(at this point how many of us would give up and assume the game is over. Lester had some serious motivation though - if he could figure it out he might continue to live - a very big reason to try!)
Being a physicist, he knew he had to go back to the drawing board, wipe the slate clean, and start from point zero. So he started to examine his life. He noticed that each time he was ill he was wanting something and that the intense wanting feelings were what was actually making him miserable. He wanted love, he wanted money, he wanted to change things, and every time he looked at that wanting, he had an uncomfortable feeling that he traced back to his illness. Then he noticed that whenever he was giving and loving and wasn't wanting anything, he was not ill. So, he asked himself, "Well, if I could get rid of all my non-loving feelings, would I get better?" He thought about this question and uncovered something that was startling to him at the time.
(Lester Levenson was on the verge of the breakthrough here)
He noticed that WHEN HE WAS LOVING he was happiest. That happiness equated to being loving rather than being loved.
That was a starting point. He asked himself if he could cure his illnesses this way. So, he began directing all of his thoughts and feelings in that direction—from that of "wanting to be loved," to that of "loving." He examined all his relationships and he let go of all of his non-loving feelings from the past. In that process he made another shocking discovery: He saw that he wanted to change the entire world and that was the cause of all his ailments, making him a slave to this world. He decided to reverse that by actually unloading the subconscious concepts and pressures and by taking responsibility for everything happening in his life. At this point he discovered that limitations were only concepts in our minds and can easily be dropped. He realized that God is within us all, that we are infinite beings with no limitations. With that realization, he became happier: freer, lighter and with an overall sense of well-being.
(imagine that - the secret to happiness, where else has it been explained at all? Where else has it been explained in such simple terms: See how attainable it really is!)
Later on he would say: "We are all gods acting like goddamned fools."
Months went by and Lester Levenson still wasn't dead. He hardly went to sleep, he ate a little bit, and he continued to work on himself. He corrected his physical body. All of his miseries dropped away and he found himself in a place in which he was happy all the time, without sorrow. He totally cured himself.
More than that, Lester Levenson unlocked the science of the mind: How the mind works, what to do about it and how to correct it. How to correct your thinking. How to call up the menu of your mind, take a look at this menu and eliminate what you don't want.
Lester Levenson was a giving person—one thousand percent! He spent the remainder of his life helping others discover this secret that he had unlocked for himself.
He passed on in 1994 at the age of 84— 42 years after being told he had two to three weeks to live!

(I added my comments in brackets.)
Lester Levenson was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on July 19, 1909, to Jewish emigrant parents.
He grew up much loved, doted on by his parents and three sisters. Yet his predominant characteristic was shyness. He was extremely withdrawn and introspective, constantly wondering what this life was about. His parents were not really religious but his grandfathers on both sides were holy people, rabbis. Lester Levenson was 21 when his beloved mother and father died. He refused to say the prayer for the dead. "Will that bring them back? If it does, I'll say it." Then defiantly he turned away from God.

Goal Manifestation with the Sedona Method
How can you manifest your goals more quickly and easily?
When you hold the goal vividly in mind you can create it FAST. Of course make sure to let go completely until you feel hootless.
Now, start small.
Bigger goals typically have more limitations for you to let go of. Otherwise you´d already have them. When you start small you´ll have validation that releasing does work and your belief system will change and at this point it is easier to aim higher.
Release to manifest $1, release to make one great new friend, release to feel a little happier, release to release!
Could it get any better?

Getting What You Want With The Release Technique
1. Re Larry Crane and 20 days to get what you want.
He says to check in and make sure you are hootless each day re the goal and if not go ahead and release to completion.
Keep releasing until you feel carefree and love re the goal. i.e. carefree rather than not caring.
2. I favour highly specific goals.
Why?
Because you are likely to get what you ask for - no more and no better.
Remember the posts recently about releasing to get a job. The person got one and doesn´t like it. http://groups.msn.com/TheSedonaMethodreleasingClub/
Ask for more! Not a job but a job you love and that pays $´000 or better.
So re finding a husband - ask for what you really want to ensure you don´t get what you don´t want.
3. Too many goals at once.
For me I would not make any progrees having such a long list of goals to release on at once. Maybe that will work for you.
It´s good to be aware of all that you want and maybe focus on one or two special goals for the moment.
4. Attaining your goals with no action on your part.
I believ it is possible when you become very advanced with releasing. I have had small and significant instances of it happening for me. Most of the time however I actually take action as well to get what I want.
Usually releasing allows me to think new and original thoughts that lead me to creative solutions and breakthroughs. I then act from a heightened sense of intuition with a very good sense of what needs to be done.

A Letter from Lester Levenson...at age 84
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?

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.
Could it get any better?
