Sedona Method explained: All bullshit and fluff aside.

The best example I heard on the website was to think of a pen…yes a pen. Think of your hand as holding a pen, now close your fist around the imaginary pen as you would do if you had the pen. (Your goal is to have a pen) (Kind of like creative imagining, affirmations, ‘The Secret’ etc.)

You are now using your mind to imagine this pen in your hand; you’re doing the creative imagining that a lot of people and “gurus” tell you to do. Now with your hand still closed and imagining you have this pen (your goal) try to pick up an actual pen with that hand. Can’t do it can you….

That’s what Sedona Method is about. Letting go, so you can actually grab what you want. Or just flat out letting go of what you don’t want.

The basis of Sedona Method is asking yourself three questions. Yes that’s it, just three. (Not to say there’s not a lot more to it, but as I said all fluff aside and with the mindset of above it’s only three questions)

Exercise:
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. This doesn’t have to be a strong feeling. In fact, you can even check on how you feel about this exercise and what you want to get from it. Just welcome the feeling and allow it to be as fully or as best you can.

Ask yourself One of the following three questions:
• Could I let this feeling go?
• Could I allow this feeling to be here?
• Could I welcome this feeling?

No matter which question you started with, ask yourself this simple question: Would I? In other words: Am I willing to let go?

Stay away from debate as best you can. Also remember that you are always doing this process for yourself—for the purpose of gaining your own freedom and clarity. It doesn’t matter whether the feeling is justified, long-standing, or right.

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

Even if the answer is still “no,” go on to Step 4.

Step 4: Ask yourself this simpler question: 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.
You will probably find yourself letting go a little more on each step of the process. The results at first may be quite subtle. Very quickly, if you are persistent, the results will get more and more noticeable. You may find that you have layers of feelings about a particular topic. However, what you let go of is gone for good.


The entire point of Sedona Method is to be able to have the feeling the ability and the choice to let go of everything. If you let it go (like the pen) than you can finally be open to pick it up. (If you choice that is) For me personally this has helped me to let go of things good and bad. With the bad ones I realize I choose to let go and than they go. With the good ones I realize I can let go and then move towards them with open hands. Simple and easy no magic bullet but it can change a lot of things.
