Sedona Method: has anyone tried it?

[Velvet]

I recently read a book about the Sedona Method and was wondering if anyone here had ever done the training. If so, how does it differ/complement EFT and other emotional mastery methods?

[Joe826]

Yep it's quite a bit different, and awesome. Get the book and work with it. It works much better than EFT for me.

[Groundless]

Yes.

It works.

The cd's for advanced work on the dualities are really good. Only to be used after you have read the book and done the first level of Sedona.

[MercuryLime]

I don't know much about Sedona, but some of the audio has really helped me let go of fears and stuff. I'm talking real results; I listened to Sedona Method stuff every night before my school play performances, and it really helped my success.

[Senin]

It's kinda weak. You ask 3 questions:
Could I let this feeling go?
Would I let this feeling go?
When?

The wording (the taps are mere distractions) of EFT is much better.

[Technicolor Tim]

Some people don't seem to 'get it' and refer to it as 'weak' I guess. That's their choice, and they may have other reasons for saying so too. Bless them. I personally know of nothing more powerful than the Sedona Method - for pretty much anything. Most other approaches are just toy-like compared (and I should know, I've been into this personal development stuff for two decades). EFT is a nice offshoot, and some beginners seem to get their heads around it more easily, but it will only take you so far, and it definitely works on a rather superficial level compared to the Sedona Method.

Oh, and there's certainly more than 'three questions.'

Please take the time to learn more about something before you choose to comment on it next time, so that people who have a sincere interest in the subject don't get cheated out of valuable information.

[Senin]

First of all, the listed the 3 questions so people could get a quick glimpse of it. Obviously, the entire course cannot be posted here. Unless you would like to.

Perhaps its not so much a matter of "getting it" but rather, does it really work. I have studied it. It is weak. I would give Emoclear, EFT, Big Mind much much more enthusiastic ratings.

[Velvet]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Clearly, each method has something positive to offer, and people respond differently, probably for a variety of reasons.

I know that the first time I tried EFT, it seemed kinda dumb, and I didn't get it. A long while later, I tried it again and it was like magic. So, who knows? Maybe I just wasn't at the right level of consciousness to really understand the first time, or maybe it was presented more skillfully the second time.

[TheFlyingMan]

I personally think it's one of the best systems that I've ever come across. Needs a bit of practice if you have strong emotional issues, but it is definitely worth it. Articulates the best way (IMHO) of dealing with emotions perfectly.

[Angela]

I didn't get anything from the Sedona Method except for a barrage of emails from Hale Dwoskin. In doing the method, I didn't find the choice between having my upset and being free of my upset compelling enough. I think what is missing for me in the Sedona Method is an entirely new possibility, a way of being that inspires me to want to let go of the upsetting thought.

Of course you can do that on your own, but it's not built in to the Method itself.

[ethereal]

Personally I've found the Sedona Method very useful and powerful. You can definitely feel a difference after a short session with it, the tremendous peace that comes after releases. After awhile you get the hang of it and you don't even need the 3 questions anymore -- your whole life just becomes one continuous surrender, one continuous meditation. Whenever an emotion comes up, you start to let it go.

Thanks Groundless for your recommendation on the advanced CDs, will definitely check them out. Been looking for more stuff to release on

As with any method or belief system opinions and effectiveness varies. I was really, really at the end of my rope. My career sucked, my health was failing and I was being foreclosed on due to my x-husband's bad debt. My husband of today said I was so mad and angry I needed to do anything, something, whatever to learn to release the anger.

I researched different methods and found the Sedona Method did not deal in retelling the same old “poor me” story. It offered a way to view life from the perspective that I am already perfect and everything I need is already there. I just need to quit reminding myself of the "story" that makes me miserable. Release the story and I find what I truly am.

I went to a 7 day retreat in Sedona AZ and the absolute best line I received is ..."could you live as if there was no story to be...". If there is no story or drama, life is wonderful. Thanks Hal

I am a new comer , just a humble student that will learn from all of you here.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Well, just the fact that you stated something like "you ask three questions" makes it obvious that you don't really have much of a clue as to what you're talking about. I suggest you learn more about the method before making up your mind about it.

I started out with EFT and found it quite good, it was pretty much the first personal development process that actaully did something for me. I don't use it anymore, but it was a good thing to learn. While it doesn't go as deep as the Sedona Method it can be easier to do for those in low emotional states such as apathy and grief. EFT can only take you so far, however, and also has some questionable stuff such as the tapping that steals credibility. That said, my ex-girlfriend who was suffering from clinical depression and was basically in apathy most of the time, where both 'feeling' your feelings and 'daring' to let go of them may be hard, found more success with EFT in the beginning. Now she has progressed to only using Larry Crane's Release Technique, which is basically the Sedona Method in a different wrapping, which is a much more efficient way of releasing, and it's working wonders for her. She is no longer depressed, she has become very active, and is doing amazingly well at work. She also has a new boyfriend, who I'm sure is much better for her than I was.

Big Mind is absolutely terrific, I love it and use it regularly. It goes great with releasing and I recommend it to everyone I think will be 'ready' for it.

These things are among the few things in the world of personal development that really work. I am so happy to have found them, and they have saved me ALOT of money - I no longer have to attend those expensive seminars by Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer etc that I never got any results from anyway. This stuff is on a COMPLETELY different level. Everyone should learn it.

[hazerfazer]

I really want to try this. The problem is, I'm 17 and cannot afford the audio course. I am trying to find a torrent of it, if anyone can help me in that regard, I would greatly appreciate it. If I can get the results that I have read others have gotten from it, I would undoubtedly pay the company back in the future.

Get a job instead and earn the money for it. You'll appreciate the course more and work on it better if you actually paid for it first. Your torrents 'try before you buy' approach is just a way of doing both you and the Sedona Method people a great disservice.

[Joely]

Just to say, I use the Sedona Method all the time now. It took me about eight months to really "get it", because I had learned to suppress my emotions so intensely. Then, suddenly, I was able to start doing it and now I use it all the time, whatever I'm doing and however I'm feeling. I can honestly say it's worked wonders. I use it in combination with The Work of Byron Katie and Holosync.

[oberlee]

We had it in our house and my boyfriend kind of wrote it off, and if you just look it over, it DOES look kind of lame. I mean, it's not all fresh and shiny and pretty like some other things, and the guy is a pretty bad writer.

BUT...it's actually a great program. It's really helped me a lot, because I do have a tendency to hold on to things that don't go my way. And, surprisingly, a lot has come of it. It helps your LOA a lot, because it allows you to detach from what you're trying to manifest.

Give it a whirl. Sit down with it and really try it out. It's a nice balance between practical and spiritual.

[orangepixie]

I have tried using this method after reading the book and found the results quite amazing. I would like to purchase a course - and having looked at the website have seen there is a course for $388. This is a significant investment - does anyone know if this is the only course available, or whether there is a smaller course I could purchase first?

[SunnKali]

This link has it for $338.00 A $50 discount was the most I could find looking around in google.

Audio Course Free Shipping

[bellemeadows]

Nearly $400 was a bit out of my price-range. But I could handle the lower price with free shipping. So I ordered it today. . . . .

I'll let you know how it works for me.

Blessings from Belle,

[Beforeyoubreakit]

I actually just go into Sedona Method myself. I find it very useful but no big changes, like the book said it will take a while it's not magic pill.

[orangepixie]

Sunnkali, Many thanks indeed. I've just purchased the course.

[orangepixie]

Belle - I'll let you know how I get on too!

Love to all

Bill Harris of Holosync interviews Hale Dwoskin on the Sedona Method on The Masters of the Universe - We design, you like .
I worked on the questions and found them a very interesting and releasing process.
I liked what you said Ethereal about the method becoming a meditation.

[Senin]

Tim, maybe that is why she is your EX-girlfriend.

I gave a glimpse of an overview of the Sedona Method. I dare say I know quite more about it than you.

Big Mind is the real deal.

Good luck in getting a new girlfriend.

What I like about Sedona is that it is a method that gets implemented into your mind set, and can be easily applied in daily life.

Personally I had problems in the respect that I read some spiritual stuff that resonated very well with me. I felt great for a period of time, but got back into the same old patterns after a while. This was very frustrating

To me, the Sedona Method seems to have a lot better long term effect, as it is applied every time an unwanted emotion appears.

I absolutely agree. It was the first book/experience I had with the idea of letting go, and it stayed with me. It helped me to understand Eckhart Tolle and his concept of the ego as a destructive force in someone's life.

It also is notable to say that pride, although it can feel good at the time, is also an emotion to let go of according to Sedona.... I don't think anyone would use EFT after winning a race....

[oberlee]

The problem with the Sedona Method book is that the guy's writing kind of sucks. That is, most of these "methods" have much more punchy, energized involved writing. I'm not saying that the method itself isn't awesome--it is. So, if you find if simplistic and boring at first, find a quiet time and space and read. It is extremely simple, but can be amazingly effective.

EFT--is cool. It IS kind of silly. I don't know how valid it is scientifically (if there is such a thing) but it's worked for me. I think it's just knowing how and where to focus your positive energy.
