Millionaire 101 Abundance Course as advertised in Weekly Reader
The Release Technique is a technique thats taught in the Abundance Course, and forms the basis of the Abundance Course. Its also sometimes known as the Sedona Method. The process is incredibly simple: Step 1: Focus on an issue that you would like to feel better about. Step 2: 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? Step 3: No matter which question you started with, ask yourself the simple question: Would I? In other words: Am I willing to let go? If your answer is No, then ask yourself the supplementary question: Would I rather have this feeling, or would I rather be free? If your answer is still no, go to step 4. Step 4: Ask yourself this simpler question: When? Step 5: Repeat the preceding four steps until you feel free of that particular feeling. Since the process is in the public domain, via the media and the Internet, why then do I recommend purchasing the book? Its really simple to answer this question. The reader can apply the Sedona Method to a much greater range of phenomena than unwanted feeling via the variations in the original exercise, which the book illustrates. For example on page 64, Kenneth a Sedona Method graduate found himself an eyewitness to the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre. Kenneths account is vivid, almost poetic in his description of the outrage and its affect upon him. In a Sedona Method workshop Kenneth expressed a range of feelings including: fear, anxiety, thought and sensations when describing his experience on September 11. But when asked if he could let these go, he frequently answered No. It was at this stage that Hale Dwoskin, the author of the Sedona Method was able to recognize that Kenneth was subtly proud of his story, due to his having been in such a unique situation in relation to September 11. Dwoskin asked Kenneth if he would be prepared to release this pride. When Kenneth did so, his fear and anxiety about life abated immediately. Such case vignettes are presented throughout the book, and enable readers to apply the methods as they read through a vicarious identification with the human condition of all the subjects described. And if this were not enough, the second part of the book is dedicated to those concerns, which all but the most enlightened of us share. In addition to letting go of fear and anxiety the chapter headings include: Beyond the Tyranny of Guilt and Shame; Breaking those Nasty Habits; Your Wealth Builder; Relationship Magic; Developing Radiant Health; and Organizing Freedom and Effectiveness. It seems to me that currently there are many books on the market that point to personal liberation. Few techniques however are as simple to learn as the Sedona Method, or come packaged in a generous 414 pages, presented in a clear attractive typeface. The narrative is engaging throughout and I wholeheartedly recommend you to purchase this volume. The Sedona Method by Hale Dwoskin. Sedona Press, Sedona AZ, 2003, 414 pages. ISBN 0-9719334-1-3. Price US$17.00 (Amazon price in sterling is £9.21) The Sedona Method course, on which this book is based, has changed many lives. Its effectiveness has been researched on a number of occasions including The Harvard Medical School Study conducted by Dr. Richard J. Davidson of the State University of New York in collaboration with Dr. David C. McClelland of Harvard University. In a comparative trial in which a group of 20 trainees were taught the Sedona Method and compared with a control group taught progressive relaxation the Sedona Method scored higher across all positive variables. The book is written for the layperson and is packed with exercises that describe the Sedona releasing process, and the benefits that may be achieved. The releasing process was developed by Lester Levenson a physicist and engineer who at the age of 42 found himself to be suffering from a range of physical ailments and was given just six months to live. Levenson took the prognosis as a personal challenge and dissatisfied with most answers from medical and psychological sources of the time, (1952), he developed his own system and devoted the rest of his life to teaching it.
