【The Sedona Method】Change your life today by the simple way.

Have you ever heard of the Sedona Method?

The city of Sedona in the U.S. state of Arizona is famous as a power spot, and this method originated in Sedona and has attracted attention for its simple and effective method.

It is said that simply by answering simple questions that you ask yourself, you can change your mind and let go of negative emotions.

In today’s society, where we are often faced with various kinds of stress and anxiety, how we deal with our emotions has a great impact on our lives.

Let’s learn together about the Sedona Method, which can be a great help for us today.

Letting Go of Emotions

The Sedona Method is a method that can be incorporated every day.

In our daily lives, there are actions that we have to do or want to do. At that time, certain emotions can prevent us from taking action or taking the time to take action.

By adopting the Sedona Method, we can let go of the emotions that are in the way, and all things will fall into place.

People, myself included, often decide to act based on outside influences such as “I have to” or “I shouldn’t”.

Instead, it is important to be able to act by the motivation to act that comes from inside of yourself.

What is “letting go” of emotions?

If the motivation for an action is a negative emotion, such as the aforementioned “I have to do it,” or some other limiting or forced emotion, it will create suffering.

Even if the action is for your own good, if the motivation is a negative emotion, it will create unhappiness.

Therefore, we must “let go” of the negative emotions that cause unhappiness.

If you think back to your childhood, I think there were many moments when you cried, laughed, or became emotional, but there were times that the next moment you had the exact opposite emotion as if you have forggoten the emotion you just had. In other words, originally, anyone can do this act.

However, as we grow older, we begin to have the stereotype that emotional control = “suppression,” and we come to believe that it is more correct to suppress rather than to let go.

Suppression and expression of emotions.

As adults, it is important to control our emotions. There are many situations where that is temporarily necessary.

However, what happens when we continue to suppress emotions that are certainly present within us? Instead of disappearing, they will stay in your mind.

The more you suppress them, the more you will keep thinking about them, and the harder it will be for you to sleep at night.

The important thing is to face your feelings. If you do not accept and process all of your feelings, they will continue to have a negative impact on you.

On the other hand, expressing your emotions as you feel them can also have a negative impact on those around you if you are in the wrong situation.

Emotions must be released.

It is not about suppressing emotions or expressing them as they are, but releasing them. In other words, we “let go” of our emotions.

Letting go of emotions is what the Sedona Method is all about.

For example, when you are feeling down, if you watch a funny TV program and laugh as much as you can, your negative feelings will fade away and you will feel lighter.

This is said to be the same effect as feeling lighter by using the Sedona Method. If you perform the Sedona Method when you have negative emotions, you will feel as light as if you had laughed.

To give another example, suppose there is a day when you have an important job and you really need to get up early. But you oversleep in.

You hate to even imagine how you feel the moment you wake up. You feel hopeless and anxious, you don’t know what to do, and the more important the job is, the more you may even think it is the end of the world.

But the next moment you realize. It was not today, but tomorrow. It means that you were inadvertently mistaken. Imagine how you feel at the moment you realize that you were mistaken. All at once the tension and anxiety will disappear, and you will feel very liberated.

This liberating, reassuring, and refreshing feeling is the same feeling you experience when you do the Sedona Method.

Unburden your mind by releasing.

The human mind, like a computer, may think differently on the surface, but it also has other emotions in the background.

When there are unresolved negative emotions, the mind is unconsciously in a state of overload. And it continues until you release it, and when you reach the limit of your capacity, your emotion will explode.

So, by using the Sedona Method, you release the emotional load that you continue to carry in the background, and by increasing the capacity of your mind and brain, you also improve your processing capacity.

In other words, using the Sedona Method greatly improves your behavioral functioning as a human being.

The interpretation that “Emotion = Self” is wrong.

The important thing in releasing emotions is not to think of them as “emotion = self.

It is true that you are the one who has the emotion, but if you think “emotion = you,” it is as if you are controlled by the emotion.

Even though you are the one who has the emotion, you are the one who is in control, and the emotion is only a part of you.

The idea that emotion and self are one and the same is not entirely wrong, but it is not accurate.

It is you who have the emotion, and the emotion is not all of you. It is entirely up to you to hold on to those feelings and to release them.

The Sedona Method

We will now go on to explain the procedure for releasing emotions.

Step 1.

First, relax your mind and body and focus on your mind. At this time, your eyes can be closed or open.

Focus on the negative feelings you are having at that moment, the things you want to change for the better, and feel all the emotions of the moment as they are.

Then, without denying the feelings, we allow them to exist as they are. This acknowledgment of the emotions as they are is the most important part.

Many people are unaware of how they really feel. They are unable to focus on a single emotion, and are stuck in other things in their mind which prevent them from focusing on their feelings at the same time.

This is a very important step, so just take time and do it well. The more you do it, the more clearly you will recognize what you are feeling.

As you become more familiar with this procedure, you will be able to detect even small changes in your emotions.

Step 2.

Ask yourself one of the following questions.

The answer to this question can be either “yes” or “no”. Even if the answer is “no,” it is okay. Give an honest answer of your own volition.

The important thing is not these questions themselves, but to become aware of your feeling and recognize that it is not controlling you, but are simply a substance within you.

The image is to look at it from a bird’s eye view, as if the emotion exists as a substance in your body.

Step 3.

Then ask yourself this question.

“Do you want to let go of this emotion?”

Again, answer this with a “yes” or “no”.

Step 4.

The next question is.

“When?”

This is best answered with “now,” though. It is up to you. It does not have to be now.

As with the previous questions, there is no right answer; the important thing is to recognize the presence of the feeling you have by answering these questions.

Step 5.

Repeat the above steps, (1) through (4), as many times as necessary until you feel that the emotion has been released.

It may not be easy to feel the effect until you get used to it, but the effect will be clearly felt as you continue over and over again.

And once you have released and let go of the emotion, it will not come back afterwards.

Tips for Releasing Emotions

I have explained how to practice the Sedona Method, but it needs to be repeated until you get used to with it.

Here is an explanation of the key points for better understanding and effectiveness.

First, understand that the first step, acknowledging the emotions that exist within you, is the most important step in performing the Sedona Method.

By doing this first step well, you may even be able to release the emotion without having to go on to the next steps.

The point is to acknowledge the emotion as soon as you realize it is there.

The moment the emotion is created, some kind of change will occur in your body. Something like feeling nervous, your heart will beat faster, your chest will tighten, or you will have some other reaction.

First, concentrate on the emotion alone, instead of thinking about the issue that caused you to have that emotion.

It is also helpful to think about what part of your body you are physically feeling it in.

For example, if you feel a tight feeling in your chest, do you feel it only in your chest, what part of your chest, how about your stomach, etc. As bird’s eye view as possible, feel the emotion as if it were a substance or an object in your body.

And it is important to repeat this process many times each day.

It can be anything small that you feel in your daily life. Let’s repeat the process to make it a habit to let go. As you get used to it, you will find that problems that used to feel big will seem small.

Also, as you get into the habit of doing this, you will be surprised at how every event in your daily life affects your emotions.

As you become able to sense them, you will become sensitive to small things that you would not have cared about before, and this may feel a little painful at times, but it is a sign of growth that you are practicing the Sedona Method.

It also means that you are now able to recognize and release feelings that you previously or pretended not to think about, and held on to forever.

The Sedona Method is not a talent. It is a technique. You just need to train yourself until you get used to it.

And the more you release, the more deeply you experience every emotion. It can enrich and color every element we experience in life.

There is no such thing as too much releasing. As I told you earlier, by releasing, you will increase the capacity of your mind and brain, and therefore, you will gain more new things.

As long as you can do the first step, which is to relax and focus on your feelings, you can practice it anytime, anywhere, and the fact that you can improve your own mood can make a big difference, even to your humanity.

Even if you are having a bad day, take it as a chance to practice releasing and try to see it as a positive challenge. Before you know it, you will be able to release them easily.

It is also important to release positive emotions as well as negative ones.

You may think that if you release positive emotions as well, they will disappear like negative emotions, but in the case of positive emotions, it is opposite, they will become stronger.

When both positive and negative emotions are released, the positive emotion becomes stronger, and the negative emotion becomes less likely to occur.

So far we have talked about feeling the emotions inside of you while imagining them, but adding movement to that is even more effective.

Other example of the Sedona Method

Here is other example of applying the Sedona Method.

For example, it can be work or household chores. Suppose there is something you have to do immidiatery. However, you feel it is difficult to take action. It is like lethargy.

In such a situation, you can take action by using the Sedona Method procedures.

When this happens, take a moment and focus on your feelings. Recognize the emotion you have and take a moment to face it.

Feel the sensations that come up with that emotion, down to the smallest detail.

Then ask yourself the aforementioned question.

Can I acknowledge this emotion?

Can I let it go?

Do I let it go?

And when will that be?

Repeat the release procedure until you feel you can let go of that emotion you have now. By repeating this procedure, you may suddenly be able to do something that you have thought about doing many times before but could not.

The feeling can be anything. If you think you are feeling something, try using the Sedona Method. It will make what you have been feeling difficult to do start moving smoothly.

Conclusion

In this time, I explained the Sedona Method.

Living in today’s society, we live with all kinds of emotions. Of course, it is not always unpleasant, but stress and anxiety continue to exist in our minds and brains, and they are a burden.

In order to change ourselves and our lives for the better, we still need to face our emotions by ourselves and control them well.

The Sedona Method introduced in this article is all about acknowledging and accepting your emotions. Whether they are good or bad feelings, acknowledge and accept that you are feeling that way.

Then, take the bird’s-eye view that the emotion is not controlling you, but that it exists within you, and release it.

Let go of the emotion. Happiness will return to the space vacated by letting go.
