When Living Became A Hobby

sedona method When Living Became A Hobby Of course, this crept up on me slowly. But with the help of Lester Levenson and Larry Crane, I simply was able to start putting things aside which had for so long been incredibly important and vital to living.

What had made me anxious and worry and angry and caused me pain – all these just dropped away as I continued to let them go. The experiment I had started some months ago has now paid off generously in an ever-present peace – which is just an extending calm which goes from one moment to the next.

It’s not that I don’t “get angry” – it just happened to me yesterday, in fact. Frustrated by my cows who had gotten out because the single-strand electric fence fell down and they simply walked over it. And they couldn’t “read my mind” and simply get back in again.  Of course, when I saw that there was no logical or sensible reason for the anger – as I looked at that sudden influx of negative emotion – I was able to simply let it go, along with the desire underneath it.

Of course, I had to become responsible for what had happened. The cows all got back in as soon as they had come back from getting a drink of water in the nearby pond and joined their fellows who were eating a new lush section of fresh grass I just laid out for them.

I was just being “in a rush” and wasn’t accepting (welcoming) what was happening in that moment. The cows were just being cows. Hungry and thirsty – and always knowing that the “grass is greener on the other side.”

It did bring up the point that I’m living more and more calmly, with longer stretches between the feelings and emotions which used to give me continuous thinking and “figuring-out’s” as to why I was acting that way and why others were acting that way.

When I finally came, through practice, to the point where I could say that I had actually “attracted” or “manifested” or simply demonstrated these things into my life, I would really admire them for what they were and simply let them go – never to bother me again, at least in that incarnation.

Now, this doesn’t mean that people around me aren’t still anxious, nervous, reactive – but they aren’t (at least very much) reacting off me.

And Life/Living started to become a hobby, rather than a dire necessity.

You might have seen this in my latest Achieving Goals with Smart Releasing series. I surprised myself when I found out I was recommending people simply play at their goals and decide what they wanted to achieve, attain, acquire, become, or perform – based simply on what they were interested in. Goals dropped away as anything vital or necessary.

Because when you see that “making a 7-figure income” has become a “when” rather than an “if”, it really doesn’t matter what you select or “work at” as regards goals. Be, Do, and Have anything that suits your fancy. Or nothing at all. Live a life in the spotlights, or seclusion – it’s all in your own decisions.

Once you get beyond any fear of dying, anxiety about your own individuality, worry about what other people think about you – and especially getting off the concern about how the government is trying to control your life – then your lifetime becomes a series of pleasant interludes which merge one to the next and extend into the unforeseeable future indefinitely.

It’s even remarkable that I’ve noticed this at all. Except that it’s a very nice spring day and all the stresses of getting crops in before the rain, getting cattle fattened on grass even though it’s too dry to grow much, having a dozen things to do in order to “make a living” – since I was taking this all so mildly,  I thought you might want to hear about it.

Because you can, too.

Life can become a hobby.

How I got my freedom back – and everything else I really wanted.

sedona method When Living Became A Hobby My simple steps to Freedom:

  1. Welcome all that occurs around you.
  2. Release any thoughts, emotions, or desires these bring up – enjoy the moment for what it is.

But there’s a trick to releasing. And it’s not so obvious.

Because when you really get into using the release technique that Lester Levenson discovered, wanting your Freedom more than you want the World, you don’t want or need anything. Everything you could possibly want just shows up. And the less effort you put into these, the more and faster they do.

Your fastest results are achieved by developing a new mental habit of releasing all the time. And the interesting side effect of this is that all your desires drop away and you enjoy life considerably more.

But with no desires, you might start questioning what you are doing and why. Because working so hard to make things happen seems pointless.

That’s right – when you release all the time and everything is coming to you naturally, then you don’t have to “work” at anything. It effortlessly starts showing up. The more you release, the less effort, the more stuff shows up.

But if everything is happening as you want or need, how do you then decide what to do? Answers come to you intuitively. You are then “aligned with the Universe”. So of course anything you decide to do is easy to accomplish. It just happens.

Now – I can see that this is rolling around in your mind already, that it’s too good to be true, that this must be some sort of scam, and so on.

You’re perfectly right.

And the thoughts you just had are why most people never figure this out. And why there aren’t saints all around us, living perfect lives where everything goes right around them all the time and miracles abound.

I was just re-reading Spiritual Marketing by Joe Vitale today. And it drove home to me that anyone could live a magic life. You could be surrounded by miracles. Anyone could be.

You just have to purposely, constantly, welcome and release everything that occurs around you.

When you do this, you get the Peace and Freedom to be, do, and have anything at all – anything you could dream up.

I’m not kidding.

Why do I say this is a scam? Because of the word “dream”  in the sentence above. Life is traditionally held to be a dream, an illusion, a “Maya”. Only our modern science is built on making it solid and real and built on immutable laws (along with having to mine petroleum and coal to fuel this very solid, industrial-grade reality.)

The secret to success is in realizing that you are already living your dreams.

So, when you realize this for yourself, you start purposely dreaming as big as you want – and then letting it all go for the Universe to demonstrate (manifest) whatever it was. You have to know that it’s perfectly OK for you to be, do, or have anything and everything you dream. And let go of any “trying to figure it out”.

Just dream – and let it go.

That’s how I got my freedom – and how I keep getting it every day.

Try it for yourself. It won’t work for you because I or anyone else says it does. You have to see that it works for yourself. Otherwise, it’s only pleasant fiction…

Good luck! And – “May the road rise up to meet you…”

All God's Children are Kahunas…

sedona method When Living Became A Hobby

You know, we are all Masters in our own right. True. Just look inside and you see the perfection that you are.

The ancient Polynesians had is completely right. Nowadays, when you say Kahuna, you either think of some surfer dude who always beats everyone else out in the competitions – or some mystic healer who can fire-walk, control nature, and maybe raise the dead.

But “Kahuna” always met something like “keeper of the secret”, although that is a very loose translation (suitable for us haole’s who don’t speak a word of it). There were kahuna’s for every trade and business and activity. Our use would be mentor – as you would seek out these experts if you wanted to learn that skill or art. (Fishing kahuna’s, weaving kahuna’s, gardening/farming kahuna’s, etc.)

And so, originally, there were kahunas all over the place. (Check out wikipedia for both these terms.)

It is even so today. Masters (kahunas/mentors) of any trade actually abound. Our approach with the Sedona Method or releasing technique, is to enable everyone to master themselves as well.

My approach, different from most, is to tell you that you don’t have to have a lot of money, or sexual partners, or servants, or impeccable health to be a complete success. You don’t have to control vast estates of property and hundreds or thousands of employees to be a success. But certainly, you need to be free of having to have approval from anyone else about what makes your success.

For the only person who can weigh in on your level of success is you. You either are doing what you want to do in life, or you aren’t. And the only one who sets the decisions about what you should and shouldn’t be doing is you.

That is the freedom which Sedona Method release technique brings – to be able to be, do, and have anything you want. You don’t have to have money or prowess in order to accomplish whatever it is you want today.

If you want to stay at home and home-school the kids while maintaining the household, then that’s perfectly fine. So is flying airplanes for a living. Anything you want to do that isn’t hurting anyone else or illegal because of that fact – you should be able to simply learn to do as an expert in that field. A Kahuna. A Master.

And any Master of their craft does it with an ease that makes it seem like they were born to do just that. And it’s probably true. For when a person is following their passion, it’s something that they meant to do since they were born (or thereabouts.) But that doesn’t mean you can only have one passion. Many people have several and either master all of them, or shift from one to another, mastering each in turn.

The key point in that is that they do it with ease. That is where Sedona Method comes in. Masters simply release on everything and anything which interrupts or interferes with their practice of their craft. And they live rather calm, peaceful lives. Even if it’s a hut on the beach they have to rebuild every few years. Or if its a stone hut in the glens of Scotland so old that there’s no record of when it was first built. Or the business executive who has been rising through the ranks for 20-30 years and stands a chance of being the COO or CEO soon. Or the administrative assistant who has seen those CEO’s come and go – but knows how to help them all be a success through her mastery of corporate policy and human behavior.

There are Masters who walk this earth and they need not be famous or wealthy or outrageously lucky.

And the reverse is true. People who win lotteries are often bankrupt and further in debt a couple years later – because they never learned how to manage wealth. People who have rented their whole lives aren’t necessarily ready for home ownership. Because a politician is able to get elected doesn’t mean he’s ready to be a statesman.

As well, most people are hampered by popular success – celebrities often no longer have any life of their own once they’ve “made it.” So being a quiet success and having everything you could want is just fine with most people.

My point here is that you are looking for personal freedom, above and beyond any fame or fortune. The society around you worships these ego-traps. That doesn’t mean you have to.

You have to want freedom more than you want the world. And once you get yourself on that route, you’ll walk it right on out. Sure, others may pass you by, or maybe you suddenly attain it in a flash after persuing it for years and years.

And after you Master yourself, then what? Practically, the release technique has been used to help people become millionaires and resolve relationships, and create huge successes. But the people who only used it for those material things wound up in trouble again, sooner or later. Because money, fame, fortune – all these are part of the World. They are not part of Freedom.

Doesn’t mean you’l be broke and lonely – those are also part of this world. When you look for the Freedom, Peace, and Joy which have always lay within you – just waiting to be let out – then the world gives you anything you want. Because you don’t need it anymore.

So: become the Master you already are. Let your light shine.
