Sedona Method Overview and Techniques

Overview

This video provides an overview of the Sedona Method, its origins, core principles, and specific practical techniques for emotional release and self-inquiry. Davida LZ also guides viewers through an entry-level experience and shares resources for further learning.

Origins and Foundations of the Sedona Method

• The Sedona Method was developed by Lester Levinson after a period of self-reflection and emotional release that led to significant personal healing.
• Lester identified that a sense of separation and perceived lack underlies emotional pain and suffering.
• The method is rooted in releasing the sense of lack and misunderstanding about one's true nature.
• After Lester’s death, Hale Dwoskin continued developing and teaching the Sedona Method.

Core Principles and Philosophy

• Core belief: Our true nature is unlimited beingness, but the mind maintains a fixed, limited identity due to misunderstanding.
• Emotional pain is perpetuated by wanting control, safety, or love—forms of perceived lack.
• Letting go even briefly can reveal the underlying presence and freedom available in every moment.
• The practice is grounded in self-inquiry, particularly the question, "Who am I?"

Key Techniques within the Sedona Method

• Letting Go: Releasing the fundamental misunderstanding of lack or wanting.
• Welcoming: Allowing and accepting emotions as they arise, reconnecting with unbounded presence.
• Holistic Releasing: Recognizing and releasing emotional opposites (e.g., up/down, hot/cold) for deeper balance.
• Diving In: Moving beneath thoughts and emotions to experience the empty presence at the core of being.
• Fifth Way: Triple welcoming—welcoming experience, the desire to change it, and the sense of personal narrative.
• Freeway: Relating to challenges from the perspective of unbounded consciousness/God/spirit.

Guided Entrance Point Experience

• Participants are asked to focus on an issue and consider: Could you let it go, would you consider being free from it, and when would you choose to let go?
• The process involves contemplating one’s capacity for release from the perspective of infinite potential.
• Breathing is used as a supportive—but not essential—practice for relaxation and presence.

Resources and Further Learning

• Additional videos on the Sedona Method and related topics are available on Davida LZ's YouTube channel.
• SedonaMethod.com offers products and courses by Hale Dwoskin.
• An upcoming course, Awakened Life 2.0, will include the Sedona Method, self-inquiry, breathing practices, and silence.

Recommendations / Advice

• Consider using the entry questions (“Could you, would you, when would you let go?”) as an accessible starting point for release.
• Explore supplementary resources for deepening practice and understanding.
• Cultivate compassion, presence, and self-kindness as foundational elements of ongoing emotional release.
