Getting there means turning off the radio on the trip.

sedona method Getting there means turning off the radio on the trip.When I was going to college just a few years ago, I was in class with a younger associate who was astonished that I left the radio off when I traveled between cities across the Midwest. My reason: it gave me time to complete logical chains of thought I had going.

Of course, now I know even better.

Because all that noise just keeps you thinking. It doesn’t help your thinking or figure out how to quit thinking.

Today I threw out (gave away, actually) a 12-hour set of CD’s which cost me nearly a hundred bucks – because that person said in the third recording on the first CD: you can’t do anything about thinking, you can only change what you are thinking.

What a curve-ball.

For the past few days, I’ve been telling you all about Levenson and his Sedona Method. And been telling you how this enables you to quiet your mind and actually quit thinking as the bad habit (addiction, actually) it is.

Another lecture I was listening to today was on wealth building. Yes, that’s kind of a oxymoron all by itself – since your prosperity is already present. Now, he did give a lot of good mechanics on actions you can be informed about to help you with your inspired actions.

But this guy said the same thing many, many people before him said: you have to surround yourself with the tapes that will reinforce and create the world you want. And this is true.

True for those who can’t quit thinking.

I’ve covered this before in other material. It takes about 28 days of listening and re-listening to the same material or set of materials to change a habit. All thought is generally a habit. So if you want to change your mind, you simply change what you are listening to.

You see, most people are effect of the 50-60,000 thoughts that go through their mind in a 24-hour period. They can’t help but think. The breakthrough of the Sedona Method is that it quiets the mind. It allows you to not just think pleasant, joyous thoughts – by regulating your feelings as “The Secret” espouses – but actually to slow down the frequency of thoughts and get them to simply slow way, way down… and then — just stop.

Takes awhile. But you’ve been thinking your whole life, so cut yourself some slack.

Levenson talks on his early tapes that what you are actually doing is getting rid of the mind itself. (As I went over before.)

So why do you need to listen to these tapes? To reinforce your thought processes so that you always “think” in this new habit.

Sure, there is learning new techniques, new ways to accomplish things in this universe. But that is all working at a quite mechanical level, isn’t it.

This new approach is much simpler. If you just keep releasing, you get to the point where Levenson recommended – of simply releasing in order to get things to appear. Now, that is kind of drastic, isn’t it? And you are still going to get inspired action you have to do. Like suddenly calling someone – or turning down a certain street when you are driving somewhere – or stopping to go into a store you haven’t visited before.

Intuitive suggestion – inspiration. Same thing. Quiet your mind and these start coming to you.

Why is it so hard to develop intuition? Because most of use are thinking too hard at it.

Here’s your suggested program to follow:

  • Turn off the TV for most of the day, if not all of it.
  • Quit listening to audio CD’s and recordings – as well as DVD’s.
  • Welcome and release any and all thoughts that come in. If they won’t release and are negative, release on being stuck – then go back and finish releasing them.
  • Truth (true inspired intuition) won’t release, but you’ll recognize it for what it is.
  • Achieve that inner, joyous, profound peace and maintain it. Any thoughts come in, just welcome and release them.

Do this plan for 30 days instead of anything else. Three times a day just purposely sit for awhile, motionless, relaxed – and release any thoughts that come in, quite in addition to releasing through the day as you go.

You’ll find that all the information you had earlier studied now comes to you as you need it. If there’s something foggy about it, some detail, then re-listen or re-read that material again. Often this will come as some sort of inspired idea as to a book or CD/DVD will suddenly come to you for something you should act on. Follow your bliss – act on your inspired intuitional glimpses.

And while there can be “relapses”, just figure that there is a lot of practice you’ve been going at for more years than you know in developing your thinking habit (at least from age 2) – so some additional thoughts coming in can easily be dealt with by welcoming and releasing.

OK? Have fun.

Law of Attraction is Based on What you are Rejecting

sedona method Getting there means turning off the radio on the trip.Why some people can’t get the Law of Attraction to work is the same reason people can’t get “Positive Thinking” to work.

They are simply holding onto too much garbage in their lives.

It really goes back to the Golden Rule: You have to give before you can get.

Meaning you have to quit resisting stuff and simply “pay it forward in advance”.

I’ve often covered Lester Levenson and his release technique here. This is a very simple and effective way of letting things go which are in your way.

More practically, what is stopping you is your own thoughts. Earl Nightingale (in his “Strangest Secret”) referred to Napoleon Hill’s quote: “We become what we think about.”

But it was Levenson who found how to “turn off” all that thinking. In “The Secret”, you were told that it’s estimated we think an outrageous number of thoughts daily. And many, many people say that we can’t control our own mind.

Just a little study in this area disproves this. Napoleon Hill and Charles Haanel both gave techniques in their books which would do this. Nightingale had another in that recording.

But people have problems with this – particularly positive thinking – because all these negatives are in their way. And those negatives are constantly generated out of bad mental habits you’ve spent a lifetime putting there. The good news, is that all these “bad” or negative thoughts aren’t native.

So moving over to positive and constructive is simply an action of recognizing and letting go the bad ones so that the good ones will shine through. Almost too easy.

Just learn the Levenson release techniques and you’ll be on your way to attracting what you really want and as well, all the positive thinking you want to do will start working for real.

Quit rejecting and start living!

Just release.

05 Levenson: Desires

sedona method Getting there means turning off the radio on the trip.

Lester Levenson was sent home to die at the age of 42. The doctor gave him days, weeks at most.

He had been a success at nearly everything he tried.  Brilliant, he earned a full scholarship and received several degrees.  Turning his hand to manufacturing, mining, and sales, all his businesses usually turned out successful as long as he was running them directly.

Yet, his health continued to worsen, almost to spite all his success.  Chronic migraines, perforated ulcers, and major cornaries (heart attacks) – these finally led his doctor to tell him to simply go home and rest.  With the medicine at that time, he was told that any effort could be his last.

So he was left with only his mind to work things out.  Throwing away all that he had studied in school, he started simply analyzing himself from the inside out.  In three months, he worked out what was bothering him and incidentally solved his health problems as well.

What he discovered left him in such a high state that it took many years of study after that, studying all manner of religious and philosophical texts just to understand what he had achieved.

For our use, this boils down to some very basic rules:

a.  The basic purpose all of use have is to survive through a human body, as an individual.

b.  This can be stated as simply three desires:

- The need or want for security.
- The need or want for approval.
- The need or want for control, or to escape control.

c.  That all these mental habits we have amassed are designed to deal with these desires.

Any scam operating in life has one or more or all of these operating.  Scammers will punch buttons you have to get you to agree with them that if you only buy their product, you’ll get the approval, security, or control in life that you’ve always really wanted.The trick is that where you actually work out how to let go of these basic desires, then you can’t be sold any scam-product after that.

Just look at the ads on TV or any other medium and you’ll see that they are all using these points to get you to buy:

Security – All the pharmaceutical companies are trying to get you to tell your doctor that you need such-and-so product in order to have your health.

Approval – How about that new car, the big house, the flashy clothes. . .  Just what all these people say you need to be owning in order to be accepted in modern society.  It’s just what “everyone else” is wearing or owning these days.

Control – Government laws are all about this.  Getting people to do what is “good” for them, what they are “supposed” to be doing.  And all our tax money they throw after pet projects doesn’t accomplish squat.  Like government schools – the highest budgets get the worst results.  And home-schooled kids routinely win the spelling and geography bees.

You can see your own variations of these.  We’ll cover later some techniques which Levenson discovered so you can release these desires from having so great effect in your life.
