The Sedona Method – Release Negative Emotions for Peace, Clarity and Abundance
The Sedona Method is a simple, powerful, and easy-to-learn technique that shows you how to uncover your natural ability to let go of any painful or unwanted emotion. By identifying and then removing our deep seated negative emotions and subconscious blocks, we free ourselves from them permanently.
As we put the method into practice, we learn to look inside and take control of our own experiences of life instead of giving away our power to others. We can discard the ‘victim mentality’ we used to live by, and step into our authenticity and joy of life with much more ease and grace.
