Rock Structure near The Chapel in Sedona at Sunset

This page is just a discussion of the various methods of releasing techniques that are out there today.

Sedona Method was developed by a guy called Lester Levenson in 1952. At 42, he had a second heart attack along with chronic migraines, a perforated intestine from ulcers, and an enlarged liver (among other things.) The doctor simply told him to go home and not get out of bed, as any effort could kill him off. And he was simply expected to die.

But instead, Levenson set his mind to work at this problem, and in three months not only regained his health, but also attained a high spiritual release level – which then took him around 18 years of study to understand what he had just done and how to communicate it effectively to others.

Levenson went on to live another 42 years and trained people to carry on his work.

And there are tapes which have survived, but I’ve only seen them on BitTorrent sites – but I’d buy them in a heartbeat if I could get them on CD. (Update: I found that Larry Crane offers Levenson tapes over at his site – click on “Shop” button at top.)

Another rare book, out of print for years, is his “Keys to the Ultimate Freedom”, which you can find at pretty high prices on Amazon. Now, you can find a scanned copy of this via BitTorrent, but it’s all in images, so it’s not an easy read. (Wish someone would just bring it back again.)

Is Sedona Method/Release Technique a scam?

Well, I’ve covered how people can make anything into a scam, and how if you are just looking for a Get Rich Quick fix for your addiction, it will look like a scam to you. Since I’ve been working with scammer victims for a couple years now, I should be able to tell you something about the subject.

The short answer – just don’t bite off more than you can chew. Try their free stuff first – particularly the online videos, as well as the other materials on their sites. If it seems to make sense, then get some more – maybe their fairly low-priced CD sets or books. Try it some more for yourself. All have money-back guarantees.

If you really consider that it’s right for you, then go to some of their seminars, if one is close by you. See for yourself. I wouldn’t personally shell out thousands until you can produce these results in your own life. As many of these below teachers say, don’t believe anything – prove it for yourself.

But I can tell you that the old Japanese adage is true, that “there are many ways up the mountain,” and also the more ancient Huna, “no one school has all the teachers.”

I’m not sold on any one of the principal routes I bring to you below, but I am sold on the idea Levenson came up with originally – that you can simply accept and let go of those emotional thinking habits you’ve been carrying around for quite some time. It’s worked for me in the simplest ways, and I can see how this opens a lot of doors for other self-help and personal development practices.

You’re mileage may vary. But you won’t find out unless you try it.

The three principal Levenson Release pupils-turned-teachers.

Interestingly, of the three main proponents of Levenson’s system, they all sound like they came from New York, or at least that neighborhood of the East Coast. If you listen to Levenson’s tapes, you can sometimes hear one of these three introducing a tape and sometimes mentioned by Levenson as directing workshops, etc.

So all of them have their bona fides from working directly with Levenson as he developed this into a working structure. In each case, they have developed their own approach to train others on what they learned personally and hands on.

Below are videos which represent their offers, in no particular order. Each are also linked to their sites so you can check these out for yourself. They each offer email courses or newsletters as well.

And what should you do now?

Simply – do your due diligence and figure out if this is a right step for you. You can, as promised above, get all the personal health, abundance, success, and improved relationships you want. Each of the three say they can help you with this. Some are far more polished than the others. Or you can simply get Levenson’s original materials, which are not your usual beginners’ fare.

But, as usual, it is your choice.

My advice: take freedom over the world – any day and every day.
