Sedona Method Overview and Techniques

Jul 15, 2025

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 (ā€œCould you, would you, when would you let go?ā€) 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.

Questions / Follow-Ups
