The Sedona Method

There is a system of letting go of negative feelings that has been of profound benefit to me for years. It was discovered by a dying Jewish businessman from New York named Lester Levenson, and it saved his life and restored his health. His partner of many years, Virginia Lloyd, shaped it into a usable technique that people could learn, to release most of the pain they feel as they travel along the daily road of life. She also named it the Sedona Method, and it has other names, the Release Technique being one. It has helped me feel better from an allergy attack, calm down after getting angry at myself or others, and just feel good as I go along. It has to some extent helped me survive the storms of life. It helps me get over things, and get over lost loves, too. I live a lighter, smoother life because of it. Others have refined or remodeled it or combined it with related things to make it work better for themselves and others. Among them (first names only) are Ernie, Larry, Hale, Annrika, Michael, Eva, Janet, Rick, Jeanie, Kate, Ron. I confess to being a little unsure of exactly what good it may do to write about it here. It may serve to remind me to use it now--hey! Sounds good. Night before last I was almost exhausted about 8:30 at night. Spent before the day was spent. I went out and took a walk in the cool of the evening around my neighborhood and started looking at my varied feelings, and letting some of them go. I gained some momentum at it and kept walking and kept releasing. When I got back 25 minutes later, the exhaustion was gone. I felt peppy. I dug into my next project. I can't always release and make that kind of sudden, clear change, but I sometimes can. And yes, maybe it was partly the cool night air and the act of getting out of my four walls that renewed me. That's okay; I like that experience. Yet it was obviously more than that.
