Effective emotional release - The Sedona Method

Because of the relatively massive changes I’ve made in my life people are always asking me how I was able to make such deep emotional changes. How did I stay so committed for so long? How was I able to cope with the failures I had along the way? How did I learn to deal with the many toxic emotional habits which I had built up over time?

 

 

There are many methods out there. Many of them I found to be completely useless rhetoric. Some of them I found to have some measure of effectiveness, but often they took a huge a lot of effort, concentration and time. On top of that the methods were often extremely convoluted and it was hard to see if they were actually having an effect or not.

 

Discovering the power of the Sedona method was extremely significant for my emotional journey because after all this searching and digging for an effective solution for emotional control I found one which not only did the job better than all the others, but was also so simple I almost couldn’t believe it.

 

 

Most people are probably aware of how crippling emotions can be, however it’s unlikely that they know why emotions can be damaging. The truth is that it is the natural inclination to either cling to an emotion or resist an emotion is the reason that emotions cause suffering.

 

You may not even be aware if you’re doing this. The nature of emotional suffering is such that it can dominate your reality without allowing you to see where the pain is coming from.

 

Resisting an emotion causes a massive build-up of painful stress and tension. Like-wise inappropriately clinging, or excessively identifying with an emotion also causes suffering. It is more often than not the negative emotions which people both resist and, counter-intuitively, cling to.

 

Think about it – how many people do you know who cling to negative emotions? If something happens which causes someone to get annoyed on the trip to work more often than not they will hold on to that for most of the day. That is clinging inappropriately to an emotion.

 

To be free from emotional suffering what you need to cultivate is a fluidity of feeling. That means that you accept that which arises within you, and then you let it go. You might think of this process, when it’s working effortlessly and without suffering, as being an emotional system free of friction.

 

 

It’s extremely difficult to say. The enlightened mindfulness teacher Shinzen Young once attributed it to a lack of emotional education in our society. Personally I think it may be something more complex than that because emotional difficulty is something that people have struggled with for pretty much as far back as we know of.

 

Just read a really old text of fables or folk tales… these simple folk in simple societies clearly had many of the same issues dealing with their emotions as people in our society do today.

 

 

It’s an emotional release technique which cultivates a letting go of unwanted emotion and allows some of the suppressed energy in your subconscious to dissipate. At it’s most effective this process can result in a negative emotion entirely dissipating in less than 30 seconds – I am 100% serious, this has happened to me many times.

 

In other cases the emotion will diminish every time the technique is applied and will release gradually. Each time the technique is applied the negative tension relaxes more and more. Most of the time negative feelings will release completely by the fifth or sixth application of the technique, which takes less than 30 seconds to apply.

 

You can understand how this process works by performing a very simple exercise, this is the same exercise that Hale Dwoskin uses to demonstrate emotional release. Pick up a pen, a pencil, or some small object that you would be willing to drop without giving it a second thought. Now, hold it in front of you and really grip it tightly. Pretend this is one of your limiting feelings and that your hand represents your gut or your consciousness. If you held the object long enough, this would start to feel uncomfortable yet familiar.

 

Now, open your hand and roll the object around in it. Notice that you are the one holding on to it; it is not attached to your hand. The same is true with your feelings, too. Your feelings are as attached to you as this object is attached to your hand.

 

We hold on to our feelings and forget that we are holding on to them. It’s even in our language. When we feel angry or sad, we don’t usually say, “I feel angry,” or, “I feel sad.” We say, “I am angry,” or, “I am sad.” Without realizing it, we are misidentifying that we are the feeling. Often, we believe a feeling is holding on to us. This is not true… we are always in control and just don’t know it.

 

Now, let the object go.

 

This demonstrates perfectly how the Sedona Method works. You may not believe it just yet so below you can try a basic release technique and feel it for yourself.

 

 

Step 1: Focus on an issue that you would like to feel better about, and then allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling in this moment.

 

Step 2: Ask yourself – could I just let this feeling go?

 

The question means, is it conceivably possible for you to let this feeling go? Of course it is because it’s exactly the same as letting go of the pen before.

 

But, answer intuitively. You do not have to answer yes – even when you answer no release will take place.

 

Step 3: As yourself – would I?

 

In other words: are you willing to let go?

 

Another way of thinking of this question is – would you prefer to live the rest of your life with this feeling, or without it? Would you choose to live without it if you could?

 

Step 4: Ask yourself: when?

 

This is an invitation to just let it go NOW. You may find yourself easily letting go. Remember that letting go is a decision you can make any time you choose.

 

Step 5:Repeat the preceding four steps as often as needed until you feel free of that particular feeling.

 

THAT is how simple it is.

 

 

There’s a lot you can do just knowing this, however there are major benefits to owning one of the full Sedona audio courses. Hale Dwoskin is the CEO of the Training of Sedona Training Associates and the voice you will hear on the Sedona Audio products.

 

He has a tonality, serenity, and joyfulness which not only expresses perfectly the effectiveness of the method, but also provides the perfect medium to express exactly how to make use of the method to the listener.

 

The full Sedona audio series explains processes which allow the participant to make use of the Sedona method release techniques not just with basic emotional difficult, but also in personal development, the law of attraction, relationships, and other areas.

 

The Sedona method is one of the few personal development products which I not only completely condone, but in-fact would highly recommend for literally anyone and everyone who wants to gain a freedom, understanding, or mastery of their emotions.
