The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-being

By: Hale Dwoskin

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So much of what we think and feel happens automatically because we are holding on to outdated paradigms.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