I've worked for a couple of years with the Sedona Method. Here's some background...

The Sedona Method, aka Releasing, aka The Release Technique

Lester Levenson was the creator of the Sedona Method.

There are basically 3 predominant teachers that I know of, who are teaching Lester's method. Each with their own twists.And of course, I'm sure they each probably have students that teach it. But these 3 I know worked with Lester very closely and were beloved students of his: Steve Seretan, Hale Dwoskin and Larry Crane.

Sedona doesn't teach a particular belief system or philosophy or psychology. "It simply offers you a very simple process to remove your attachment to particular feelings that may be holding you back."

You don't have to believe in the process, you just do it by basically asking yourself a series of questions while you are sitting or laying down. The questions are simple. Basically, they are: Are you willing to let this go? If you're not willing today, when? Sounds very simple, which it is... but if you have control issues, or fears like jealousy, getting to the heart of the issue is what it is centered around and then the questions simply get you to move your energy through and beyond the issues, rather than continuing to experience them as blocks to your professional life, your relationships, inability to trust, etc.

I don't know much about Larry's style, but here's the website: LesterLevenson.org

I studied w/ Steve a bit and thought he was disorganized, but very well meaning. Actually it was a student of his who did the promoting that I thought was really disorganized. I think that Steve may teach the purest form. The other two have all kinds of add-on courses they recommend you take. I'm always a bit suspect of add-in courses - but of course, it's a primary way for the teacher to have repeat customers. Steve teaches the real thing on tele-calls. As far as I know he doesn't have a system or program that you can take on CDs. Steve Seretan site is Lesterandme.com

I like learning from CDs, so I ordered Hale Dwoskin's program on ebay. These kinds of programs are so expensive! So I find more affordable, used sets, on ebay. Hale Dwoskin's site is Sedona.com

Here's a bit about Lester Levenson (RIP). This is from Larry Crane's site, lesterlevenson.org/about-lester.php "About Lestor:"

"In 1952, after being sent home by his doctors to die, Lester realized two TRUTHS that literally saved his life. The first was that his own feelings were the cause of all his problems, and not the world or the people in it, as he had previously thought. He also realized his own feelings were what he had struggled so hard and long against. And this struggle was what had destroyed his health and caused him to suffer in every way.

The second truth he discovered was that he had the inborn ability to let go of his feelings. He discovered how to completely discharge them and their negative influences from his life. Instead of struggling with them by suppressing, coping and venting as he had previously done, he discovered how to totally release them. This put an end to his struggle! He found permanent happiness. And, he found the more he released his feelings, the happier and healthier he became. In fact, within three months he was completely well, and he stayed well for over 40 more years!"

Hope this helps! It took me awhile to sort through all the info out there too, when I first began exploring it. I have since gained significant freedom from a need to control other people, so the greatest growth I experienced was in relationships!

Oops!! Very sorry. What I've just said is lefkoe. not sedona.

You should try it yourself, anyway :p

Thanks for providing a brief explanation about Sedona Method.

Yes, you can find some videos on youtube very quickly.

The technique is really simple. The power comes from repetition. I found that visiting the website and reading testimonials about all the people who used it really helped.

It seems rather too simple at first, but many people have had success with it.

I have to disagree with you on this. I am currently reading the book at the moment and it is not all about visualising like The Secret, it is mainly about releasing feelings and beliefs that can be holding you back, making you upset etc.

Aren't the majority of things about making money? You're on the Warrior Forum which is all about making money so what is wrong with the self improvement section being a huge money maker? If you go to any bookstore you will also see that weight-loss, travel, relationships etc. are big money makers and look at films such as Twilight and Harry Potter!!!

I agree with you that everything is possible but you have to want to change and these books are a great helping hand. In the last few years I have changed considerably from reading self help books and attending 'free' positive thinking classes and each of them have given me great nuggets of information. I take info from each one and see what works best for me.

I really like the Sedona Method and it has worked wonders for me already. Do I like everything about it? No, but I will be using a lot of the information provided in it. Will I buy (or get out from the library) another self help book - hella yeah, it's all about continuous growth. Will I buy another product from the WSO forum - yeah if it appeals to me!

Sending all positive vibes
