Reviews

[Lee Sinclair · Rating 4 out of 5]

The "Sedona Method" is a really simple technique for handling emotions. But just because it's simple,it doesn't necessarily mean it's easy. You'll probably either understand and like the book or it just won't resonate with you. It's also more of a workbook, than a read-through book, and you're encouraged to go ahead and try it, rather than over-think things.

I've read bunches of both "spiritual" books and "self-help" books. This is kind of a crossover book which gives practical help from a semi-spiritual perspective, which makes it a difficult book to describe or write a review about. But for me, it was well worth reading because I was looking for a book focused on handling emotions that was a little bit spiritual, but not too spiritual.

This isn't a book to "read". This is a book to practice. If you aren't planning on taking your time and going through all the exercises, don't waste time with it. If you ARE ready to DO, then I highly recommend it. I found the principles very helpful. I've been making other changes in my life at the same time that I was going through this book, so I can't say how much influence one aspect of my life has had more than another, but I have definitely found myself growing more peaceful over the 6 weeks that I took with this. If you are a fan of Eckhart Tolle, then you will discover a lot of parallels.

[Dean C. Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

The subtitle of this book is: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-being. That’s a pretty fair assessment of how I feel about the techniques given as exercises in the book. Just be mindful, there’s work to be done. The author gives you some great reasoning and rationales behind how the various meditative practices will help you, but in the end, not all that much comes from understanding if you don’t take the time to practice with the exercises.

This is one of those books that you pick up and put down over the course of the year, whenever you feel yourself sinking into a bad place and want a drug-free uplift by drawing your attention to the thought processes that are likely behind the depression, anxiety, and other negative emotions.

[Alejandro Sanoja · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the BEST book I read in December 2021.

The amount of peace and clarity that it can bring to your life is life-changing.

The book will help you let go of beliefs, ideas, thought patterns, and emotions that are not helping you move forward in life.

So much of what we think and feel happens automatically because we are holding on to outdated paradigms.

This book will help you release all those thought patterns and programs that are stopping you from living freely.

If it feels too "esoteric for you" I get it. It would've been the same case for me a few years ago. May you, at some point in your life, find the contents of this book valuable.

Some of My Highlights:

"Lester realized that his teachings needed to be formalized into a system that he could allow others to teach - leaving him out of the equation."

"As soon as I started releasing instead of fantasizing, we started to close more deals."

"Even the impossible becomes completely possible when you are fully released on it." - Lester Levenson

"Be your best friend and supporter rather than a drill sergeant or taskmaster."

"...for the first two years of a child's life, everyone around them is trying to get them to walk and talk, and for the next eighteen years everyone's trying to get them to sit down and shut up."

"By the time we are labeled adults we are so good at suppressing that most of the time it is totally second nature."

"Then ask yourself questions like: What is at the core of this feeling? Could I allow myself to go in consciousness to the core of this feeling? Could I allow myself to dive into this feeling?"

"When you welcome both sides of these pairs, as opposed to clinging to one and resisting the other, you find that they both dissolve, leaving you with the empty space that allows for all experiencing."

"The Basic Releasing Questions: What is your NOW feeling? Could you welcome/allow that feeling? Could you let it go? Would you let it go? When?"

"If the answer is 'no,' or if you are not sure, as yourself: 'Would I rather have this feeling, or would I rather be free?'"

"...you can also give yourself permission to hold on for a moment. If you give yourself permission to do what you are already doing, you will find that it becomes much easier to make a new decision."

"'As best you can' means 'to the extent of your ability at that exact moment.'"

"As you incorporate releasing into your life on a regular basis, you'll soon notice that you are becoming more sensitized to your feelings. This is a sign of progress."

"So make room throughout your day for the possibility of gains, and stay open to the unexpected."

"Look at each upset in your life as an opportunity for greater freedom."

"Keep an eye open for pride. ook at your problems as you release on them, and check to see if you feel that they make you 'special.'"

"...letting go of wanting to understand often brings the understanding that you've been seeking with a lot less effort. As yourself a question: Would I rather understand my problems or just be free of them?"

"In peace, there is no longer any constriction: you are one with the ocean."

"AS you let go of your apathy, grief, fear, lust, anger, and price, you'll be uncovering these higher energy emotions, which are the real you that has always been there."

"...this identification is even found in our language, such as when we talk about 'being angry' as opposed to 'feeling angry.'"

"Good news: You can let go of resistance just like any other feeling."

"Any time you feel like you have to, must, or should do anything, you're n resistance."

[Ajith Ashokkumar (LordOfBooks) · Rating 3 out of 5]

A captivating book about 'letting go' !!!, that offers a profound insight into finding happiness, well-being, and success within ourselves.

The author emphasizes the importance of 'releasing' everything, including our attachment to success, to lead a fulfilling life focused on achieving rather than grieving. While this concept might appear contrary to the 'think positively' approach of books like 'Secret' and 'Power of the Subconscious Mind,' the Sedona Method urges us to release all emotions, even happiness, to attain true freedom and live in the present moment, free from the burdens of the past.

However, I found myself grappling with the practical aspect of 'how to release,' as the author's method of asking questions in each chapter didn't resonate clearly with me. Nevertheless, the book delivers a powerful message, inspiring readers to embrace emotional liberation and move forward with renewed clarity.

“You are the key to your own happiness, health, well-being, and success. All you need to do is use this key to unlock the secrets of freedom and happiness that are waiting to be discovered right within your own heart !!! ”

[Pamela Fernandes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a book that basically says you must release. And that's the only thing that's tricky. The book asks you to release everything through clean up questions. Do you do a thing for security, approval or control.
As you release and let go, you begin to empty out baggage that you've accumulated emotionally. I like the concept of Advantages and Disadvantages to any decision. The best concept in this book is hootlessness. The author wants you to not give a hoot about anything. Good read and it all breaks down to letting go! Just let go!

كتاب سيدونا جميل افادني في التصالح مع مواقف الطفولة وتفريغ المشاعر المتعلقة فيها وبالنسبة لي كتاب لباقي حياتي استخدم الطريقة

[Charmin · Rating 4 out of 5]

HIGHLIGHTS:
1. UNWANTED FEELING:
- The first way of choosing to let go of the unwanted feeling.
- The second way is to welcome the feeling, to allow the emotion just to be.
- The third way is to dive into the very core of the emotion.

2. STEPS
Step 1: Focus on an issue that you would like to feel better about, and allow yourself to feel the feeling.
Step 2: Could I let this feeling go? Could I allow this feeling to be here? Could I welcome this feeling?
Step 3: Would I? Am I willing to let go?
Step 4: When? (This is an invitation to let go NOW).
Step 5: Repeat steps.

3. IN THE NOW:
- Phrase your goal in the NOW, as though it is already achieved. Your goal statement should reflect the end result that you’d like to achieve.

4. ADVANTAGES:
- What are the Advantages / Disadvantages of - abundance, freedom, health, stress, receiving, giving?
- There are no problems in the present moment.
- We seek our problems.
- We tend to filter our experience based on the belief that we have a particular problem, unconsciously censoring anything from our awareness that doesn’t support that belief, including the fact that the problem is not here NOW.

5. FREEDOM:
- An idea for accelerating your freedom from anxiety is to make a list of things that you used to be afraid of.
- The more welcoming you can be, the more freedom you’ll have to change it.

6. FEELINGS LYING DORMANT:
- It is the unaddressed feelings lying dormant in the subconscious mind that eventually have the potential to bear fruit.
- We also promote reverse intentions when we feel concerned on behalf of other people.

7. DESIRES:
- Everyone is motivated by four basic desires that exist beneath our thoughts: emotions, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior patterns.
- These underlying motivators: desire for approval, control, safety, and separation.

8. RELEASE THE WANTS:
- When we release the WANTS, we can have what we desire and stay motivated.
- Does it come from wanting approval, control, and security?

9. GOAL STATEMENTS:
- Write a goal statement for what you’d like to create in the area of wealth.
- Hold in mind what you truly desire while letting go of all your feelings that are contrary to it.
- As you begin to accept deeply that you’re entitled to have financial freedom and security, the more you’ll naturally move into a positive attitude about your abundance.

10. ASK:
- Ask, don’t tell – gets cooperation you receive from those who report to you, and you’ll be lightening both their stress and your own.

This course is available on CD for over 300.00. I was able to get 12 tapes and a workbook for $50.00 (used on Amazon). It was one of the best investments I have ever made.

Lester Levenson was the original founder of "The Sedona Method". He was very ill and the doctors told him he did not have long to live. He decided to start from scratch and live his life differently and that is when he discovered this method. In three months he was completely cured.

The method is based on accepting life as it is and letting go of any "tendencies" you have to react rather than accept. You have to be willng to accept your emotions and then release them.
We all have the power to let our emotions go. But, if we try to suppress our emotions and pretend they are not there--they get in the way of having a joyful, fulfilling life. That is why setting goals is not enough, becuse if we have emotions about the goals like fear, doubt, anger, frustration, etc.--that will stand in the way.

He also says it is important not to "give a hoot". You can have goals and want things, but if you want them too much--that intensity stands in the way of getting what you want. You put it out there and the you let go.

The Sedona Method has transformed my life. I can do it everyday and anywhere. It has really made a difference in the quality of my life. I highly recommend this course.


I am currently reading a book that discusses the course called "The Abundance Book: Teaches the Amazing Release Technique" by Lawrence Crane. It includes two CDs that are excellent. I have not gotten into the reading yet.

أحد افضل الكتب الي قرأتها في التعامل مع المشاعر بشكل عام .

قرأت الكتاب قبل سنه وفوايده علي لاتعط ولا تصحى بفضل الله حقيقي اعتبره من الكتب الي اعتبار أنها كنز قليله بحقه كتاب ما استغني عنه في كل أسبوع ارجع اقرأ واطبق التمارين الموجوده فيه من غير المفاهيم التي اكتسبتها، أنصح فيه بشده

الكتاب فريد من نوعه يشبه السماح بالرحيل إلا ان فيه اختلاف جوهري عنه وهو الرغبات الأساسية وراح اعطي نبذه عنها بعد قليل، اكثر ما ابهرني بالكتاب التسلسل الموضوعي العمق! حيث ان الفصل الأول هو الأساس والقاعدة لباقي الفصول ويتعمق أكثر بشكل واضح وترجمه رائعه في المواضيع، يعالج الكتاب بشكل عام المشاعر وبشكل أساسي الى الرغبات الأساسية الأربع وهي جوهر طريقة سيدونا في بداية الكتاب يعلمك ماهيّة طريقة سيدونا وهي تقنية تساعدك كما قلت في علاج مشاعرك وتحكمك فيها ثم في الفصل الثاني ينبه على قواعد في التقنية مهمه وأيضاً ادوات تساعدك في التقنية أو دعونا نسميها التحرر العاطفي ثم في الفصل الثالث يسهب الكتاب في انواع المشاعر التسع والتحرر من كل حده ثم يتحدث عن المقاومة حيث أنها الجدار الفاصل بينك وبين ماتريد وبعدها يتحدث الكتاب عن الرغبات بشكل عام مثل ( عدم حصولك على العلاقات ) فيساعدك الكتاب على تغيير رغبتك بالتحرر منها فهذا من اجل ان يساعدك على تغيير ماهو مهم فعلاً ومالا يمكنك تغييره وبعدها تدخل على الرغبات الأساسية الاربع وهي الجذر الأساسي لكل شيء لكل العواطف والأفكار الرغبات الأساسية الأربع التحرر منها يساعد في شفاء طفلك الداخلي والتحرر من المعتقدات السلبية وزيادة الوعي تشبه تحرير احد الرغبات الأساسية بأن تفصل (التوصيله) حيث أن كل الاجهزه مرتبطه بهذه التوصيله يعني بدل ما تفصل كل جهاز لوحده تفصل التوصيله الاساسيه وبعدها يعلمك كيفية الاستفادة القصوى من هذه الرغبات بوضع أهدافك ومساعدتك في تحقيقها حيث ان بعض الرغبات تكون عائق بتحقيقها والأجمل أنه أتى بأداتين تساعدانك في تحقيق هدفك بشكل اكبر حيث تكون حيادياً تجاهها وحينما تكون حيادي فأنت تكون اكبر من الهدف (مش اكبر منك زي مايقول الدكتور احمد عماره😂) حيادي او تشعر بمشاعر ايجابيه تجاه الهدف فيمكنك تحقيقه، والهدف الأساسي من الكتاب هو الحريه بمعنى ان القيود العاطفيه من رغبات ومشاعر ومقاومه تختفي من حياتك او تخف بنسبة كبيرة جداً وهذا مايحدث معي حالياً الحمدلله، ينقسم الكتاب لقسمين الجزء الاول شرح لعملية التحرر العاطفي والجزء الثاني تطبيقي، الكتاب رائع بشكل مدهش، اقتنيه ولاتتردد، يوجد كتاب آخر اعتبره الجزء الثاني لكتاب طريقة سيدونا وهو كتاب " أسأل تعط " ستعرف لماذا هو الجزء الثاني حينما تقرأه.

Emotional freedom

Used to believe emotions like pride, lust, fear and anger were evil. This book teaches that they're just emotions and it is very liberating to feel these emotions and release them as the book advises us to do. Glad to have this perspective about emotions, because it is liberating to feel and release these emotions instead of resisting them when I thought they were evil.

إنّ الإحساس بالذنب والعار هي مشاعر مظللة وتسبب الكثير من المعاناة التي لا داعٍ لها .هذان اللصان اللذان يسرقان سعادتنا وحريتنا وراحة بالنا .

يأتي الإحساس بالذنب من قيامك بشيئ ما خاطئ : لقد اخطأت ! يجب ألا أفعله ! أو من الخطأ القيام به !
أما العار فهو الشعور الذي يجعل منا ومن أنفسنا ( خاطئين ) أو ( سيئين ) بسبب إدراكنا لما قمنا به وهو شعور مقترن بالحزن .

الكذبة هي أنّ الشعور بالذنب يحمينا من التعرض للعقاب . في الحقيقة ، هو كما لو أنني أقول : أنا مستعد للعقاب !! باللاوعي .

هناك مجال يلعب فيه الشعور بالذنب دوراً مهماً ويكمن الأمر بعدم القدرة على تجاوز الانتهاكات المبكرة .
عندما يسيئ إلينا والدينا والأوصياء علينا ومعلمينا .. ونحن صغاراً فمن الصعوبة تقبل فكرة أن هؤلاء قد ارتكبوا أعمالاً خاطئة بحقنا ! كوننا صغاراً ، يتمتع الكبار بقدرات خارقة مقارنة بقدرتنا . ولا ننسى ، بأنهم يقدمون لنا الطعام والشراب والمأوى . فلذلك عندما تحدث الإساءة ، نسعى لإلقاء اللوم على الطرف الآخر والوحيد الذي يمكن أن نجده : ألا وهي أنفسنا !! نحن نقوم بذلك كشكلً مشوه ووهمي من الحماية الذاتية .

إنّ الشعور بالذنب والعار هما مجرد مشاعر وهي ليست أنت ، وتستطيع التحرر منها :
- هل أستخدم شعوري بالذنب / العار لنيل الرضا أو السيطرة أو الأمان ؟!
+ أتخلى عن الرغبة
- هل أستطيع أن أسمح لنفسي أن تقرر بأنني قد عوقبت بما فيه الكفاية ؟!
+ هل أستطيع التخلي عن الرغبة في معاقبة نفسي ؟
- ما هي الفائدة / المساوئ التي أجنيها من معاقبة نفسي ؟

[Andrew · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book about how to deal constructively with emotions. It teaches that we often feel we are the emotions or that we just have emotions and we "just have to work through them." Then in an astounding twist we are brought to the realization that emotions are easily and quickly left go of an exchanged for others we would rather have. There is still quite a bit of time involved in changing our idealism of emotions but now with these new tools we can obtain the emotional and mental state of peace with our lives and ourselves that God wants for us.

[Cherie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was good. I need steps and he gave steps. Of course words are easy and actually doing it is more difficult but I believe with practice this method will be helpful. I don't agree totally with the application of logic to emotion though. It is all we've got most times but I'm hoping to find an emotional healing method that allows me to accept my feelings as essential to life instead of a method that dissipates them. Maybe that means I'm not totally ready to embrace the Sedona Method. Time will tell.

[brenda gold · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a method for achieving emotional freedom throughout life experiences and interpretations. I have found it useful in part. I will have to go back and read again to find out what parts have been truly helpful and what parts can be ignored as superfluous. Some teachers of releasing i.e. Kate Freeman, think that the method here is unnecessarily complicated and confusing.

[Zarathustra Goertzel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Somehow it didn't click until reading this book that The Sedona Method is Lester Levenson's technique, which I had learned thanks to Jeffery Martin and the 45 Days to Awakening course.

The intro explains the concept of releasing pretty well. Another aspect that clicked for me is how releasing "positive emotional responses" can be distinct from "getting rid of them". I almost wish to draw a connection with, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were." Releasing the positive emotion is freeing it to dance and play as it pleases, not fixating on this joys remaining exactly as it is, allowing for potentially richer joys to come (and go). Thus release is a loosening that allows change without necessarily specifying what is to be done with the matter 😧🤓.

The next part runs through many situations and goals to see what comes up with guidance on releasing it. I believe that greater gain can be experienced with greater practice, yet reading through the book doing a bit here and there also seems beneficial :- ).

Given how often I've heard the Sedona method referenced, I'm glad to have read the book :- ).

The method, for reference:
(0) Can I allow myself to fully «feel this»?
(1) Could I release «this feeling»?
(2) Would I release «this feeling»?
(3) When can I let «this feeling» go?

Small changes can make a big difference. For example, sometimes the following works better: (1) Just for now, could I let this feeling go?

O Método Sedona é incrível. É uma técnica muito simples, mas absurdamente eficaz para ajudá-lo a controlar e liberar emoções.

Se você tem algum tipo de emoção negativa constante como raiva, frustração, tristeza, solidão, depressão, apatia ou mesmo se você tem emoções positivas que te causam problemas em sua vida, por exemplo, excitação no momento errado, o Método Sedona lhe dá a estrutura para entender como essas emoções funcionam e também um pequeno processo muito simples que você pode dominar com bastante facilidade para liberar tais emoções instantaneamente.

É incrível que isso funcione. Na verdade, é tão simples que você provavelmente não vai acreditar que funciona no começo, mas eu tenho usado muito e atesto: quando estou realmente emocionalmente acionado, o que não acontece mais com tanta frequência, quando estou com raiva, assustado ou chateado, então uso o Método Sedona por cinco ou dez minutos e isso realmente me ajuda a me acalmar e voltar a um estado ideal de corpo, mente e alma.

Você pode usar esse método não apenas para liberar emoções negativas, mas também para manifestar o que quiser em sua vida, ao deixar de lado algumas das emoções positivas que o impedem. Basicamente, o que você faz é liberar bloqueios emocionais, positivos e negativos, e isso libera você para que sua mente subconsciente possa trabalhar e fazer o que precisa ser feito para alcançar o que você deseja.

[Dianna]

The Sedona Method could be considered a self help book? Because I’m still thinking about it’s category of origin.

This whole class is based on one simple prop:

*Letting go.*

Letting go of grief, anger, fear – FEELINGS.

Feelings are a weird thing to experience, yes love is awesome and kindness and joy and I do believe that loving ourselves and others is the only reason we exist but feelings are sneaky and they lie and lie until they bury us in death (anxiety).

*When you catch yourself rationalizing a specific emotion, telling yourself what a useful function it serves and justifying why you’re absolutely right to hold on to it, it is a signal that you’re being handed a pack of lies. As you move further into the exploration of letting go, one of the things that you’ll notice is that the feelings you’re releasing tend to argue for their own preservation. Feelings lie and make empty promises, such as: “Fear keeps you safe,” “If I feel guilty, I won’t do it again,” “If I hold on to my anger, I’m getting back at another person (rather than only hurting myself).” All that’s happening is that a particular feeling is perpetuating the problem it appears to be preventing. It’s a lie.*

The Sedona Method book is a book to consider when reading self help books, it fast paced, accesible and quite awesome in the peaceful department.

I did enjoyed it and I do recommend it.
