This video is made from a compilation of Hale Dwoskin's instructional guided applications of the Sedona Method in order for you to follow along and be facilitated in releasing blocks to the awareness of love's presence and the recognition of the light and love you are.

If you are already familiar with The Sedona Method, as you follow Hale's instructions, you might find yourself spontaneously bringing in other letting go questions such as the Method's basic questions to support you in letting go. At times, to give yourself the necessary time it may take you to answer honestly, you may need to pause the video before you proceed.

The Sedona Method Basic Questions ~ probably the most well known part of this simple but powerful tool, designed to help us let go of our internal resistance and limited thinking.

The method itself goes into quite a bit more depth and was born out of the awakening of a man named Lester Levenson. The basic questions are an introductory tool to open one up to the internal experience of letting go.

The questions in their most basic form are:

1. Could you let this go?
2. Would you let this go?
3. When?

Understanding the inquiry and application:

1) Think of an issue in your life you would like more clarity on, then allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling in this moment fully

This first part is very significant. Do not rush into the “let this go” part as a means to get rid of something. This is the most common mistake people make, as they often interpret the method as a means to just get rid of anything they don’t like immediately. Really, you are allowing yourself to feel it and letting go of your resistance to it so that it may be fully processed.

It is a habitual response of the human mind to resist discomfort and feelings judged as unpleasant. Feeling your feelings fully can be a key component to inner work so it is worth becoming adept at is part of the training.

Be present with the feeling, even just for a moment, without any agenda. It is not particularly important to label the feeling precisely.

2) Could you let this go?

Not WILL you, but COULD you. This means, quite literally, are you capable of letting this go. Are you capable of letting go of your resistance to it? Is it possible to let this go?

Note that it does not matter how you answer, the point is to be fully honest. Answer from your gut or your heart, and not your mind. This is the approach to take with this work in general.

Be aware however, that anyone is capable of doing this. The reason is that it is actually more of a non-doing. It is resistance that requires effort. Your natural state is to allow things to pass and process without clinging, analyzing, and judging everything that is present within you.

The analogy Hale Dwoskin, current president of Sedona Training Associates and primary facilitator of the method often uses is that of dropping a pen. Visualize yourself holding something. The holding is actually the effort. It takes a temporary use of energy to open your hand, but once you do, what you are holding is free from your grip. You are relaxed, and you are no longer expending mental or physical energy with it.

By your very nature, you CAN do this.

3) Would you?

Again, allow yourself to answer honestly. Simply by being present and probing into the question will do more than you might realize.

Sometimes we immediately see the suffering caused by our attachment around the issue and are able to release our grip on it instantly. Other times, we see the depth of our attachment, the beliefs and convictions around holding on to the issue. This simply means we need to continue to be present with it, or perhaps continue to look at it more deeply or from other angles. Any or all of this is progress.

As Lester Levenson would say, keep it simple. Simply ask the question, feel into it and answer honestly. This can open you up and expand you greatly if you continue with it.

4) When?

How long do you plan to keep this tight grip?

This is really an invitation to let it go right now. Often that is the spontaneous reaction here, as the futility of it has presented itself. Why hold on a few more days, months, years? Does holding the emotional content behind it in mind, with such tension and emotion, give you more options and freedom to deal with it or actually restrict you?

As with all the questions again, just be honest. The inquiry itself is working subtly within you.

Rinse and Repeat

You can ask these questions anytime, anywhere, on any issue. Try it honestly and consistently for at least a few moments. There is nothing to lose in trying it and perhaps an enormous amount to gain.

Remember, these questions are only a small part of the method and barely scratches the surface of the beautiful, powerful teachings of Lester Levenson.
