What is the Sedona Method?

Basic Principle
Although one detects that a particular belief, attitude, or thought is not proving beneficial, still it is very tough, or at times impossible, to alter it. The cause is that the emotions create limitations and actualize them. Thus, basically an individual's emotions propel or repel action. So, joy and success in life are decided by the thoughts and attitude. In a nutshell, a person is his own best friend and/or worst enemy. The Sedona method uses the base of this cycle. It teaches how to master the emotions. As a result, one becomes a master of thought and consequently, of action. This is how this single technique is found to be an elixir in diverse areas.

The Feeling of Letting Go
The Sedona method relies heavily on the potential of feelings. It believes that as children grow up and become adults, they emphasize upon the expectations, which others have from them, rather than their own emotional well-being. Those feelings that are suppressed, then try to vent themselves. Those who practice this method, realize that they can suppress and express in different situations aptly. Such people often opt for a third alternative - that of letting go. Those who practice this method, ask themselves a range of questions that create an awareness of what they are feeling currently, and then smoothly guide them through the experience of letting go.

Evidence of Usefulness
The method has been endorsed by the MONY corporation and several scientific researches at prominent universities. Sedona training associates have collaborated with many corporations, and this has resulted in positive results in case of numerous companies and their employees.

Uniqueness of Sedona Method
This method is unique for the following reasons:

• simplicity of use
• works during every moment-it teaches how to let go of the thoughts every moment, and experience relief-after the person gets freedom from pain, insights may occur naturally
• absence of retrospection-the need to remember old happenings, ponder about them, and sort out the problem
• the results are long-lasting, and increase with time
• the technique is omnipotent
• equally effective for men and women

An Example
Consider the case of low self-esteem. It may be caused by several factors like a depreciating remark or action from somebody. The person's view towards the events around him can give rise to feelings of embarrassment and mediocrity. The low self-esteem that arises due to such feelings affects each aspect of life. The Sedona method assists to break the vicious circle of such feelings and thoughts. The heaviness experienced in the abdomen, chest, and shoulders vanishes. It is substituted by self-confidence, lightness, and warmth. The person will not have a feeling of inability, in case of handling an issue, etc.
