The Sedona Method originated from the teachings of Lester Levenson, "the first American Master". Lester was a physicist and entrepreneur who discovered through his own direct knowing a method of Self realisation, goal achievement and freedom.

Lester was told not to move if at all possible when he was sent home to die but he didn't give up. He chastised himself for how stupid he had been to know an abundance of "text book knowledge" but still be in the predicament of being on his last legs so to speak.

Lester decided to start over completely and began asking questions such as "what is this world?", "what is my relationship to it?", "what is happiness?" and finding the answer to happiness being the times in his life that he had been the most loving, he began to painstakingly correct the past by correcting all his "non-love" feelings to being "loving" feelings.

He discovered that the times he wanted to change the way things were, or the way they had been, the times he wanted, desired or craved love and the times that he wanted safety or security from the world (ie the perceived outside) were the causes of his suffering and misery.

So he was able to let go of all his desires from the past and in doing so he noticed he was becoming happier, lighter, healthier and more free. Some of his experiences recall total ecstasy and joy of simply being, to the point of being unable to move. Others experiences recount such dynamic energy, he would walk the streets of New York late at night for hours just to "walk off" the amount of energy and power he had tapped in to within.

Therefore the Sedona Method (in it's purest form) means to let go of the past. The way that releasers (people who utilise the tools and excercises of the Method) use the Method involves letting go of feelings and desires for control, love and safety in order to feel more freedom in the moment. It's that simple.

Lester Levenson built a home in the desert close to the town of Sedona, Arizona and began teaching groups what he had discovered and how to let go of the ego (the thoughts, feelings and programs that cause us suffering through denying that our basic nature is abundant awareness, "the All" and "Beingness") and the Sedona Method was born.
