“ The Sedona Method is a wonderful contribution to the field of self-acceptance and transformation. This is like an accessible, western form of Buddhist teachings that can free our hearts and minds from our self-made limitations and the old stories we tell ourselves.”

—Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening The Buddha Within and Letting Go Of The Person You Used To Be

“The Sedona Method is an effective tool for getting rid of the ‘victim’ mentality. Instead of giving away our power to others, Hale Dwoskin encourages us to look inside and take control of our own experiences of life. That’s powerful!”

—Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty

“Hale Dwoskin has succeeded in presenting a masterful healing system with a treasure of practical examples for bringing it to life. The Sedona Method contains many jewels of illumination that can take your life to the next level. Practicing these principles can bring you home. Here is a rare and useful manual for awakening.”

—Alan Cohen, author of Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do about It

“There is no pilgrimage more important than the one we undertake to explore ourselves. The Sedona Method is a valuable tool to help make our journey of self-discovery one that leads to powerful personal breakthroughs and new beginnings. Designed with wisdom, simplicity, and compassion, it will offer you ways to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.”

—Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D., author of Real Moments and What Women Want Men To Know

“This is a powerful and profound way of achieving immediate and lasting improvements and breakthroughs in your personal and business life. Incredibly effective!”

—Brian Tracy, author of Deals!

“ The Sedona Method is an extremely powerful tool for emotional freedom and wellness.”

—Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the New York Times #1 best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul and co-author of The One-Minute Millionaire

“Just as Kabbalah teaches us the basic spiritual laws of our existence, Hale Dwoskin looks far beyond the mere symptoms of emotional negativity to emotional freedom and mastery. If you want to fundamentally change your life for the better in the shortest possible time, start using the Sedona Method today.”

—Yehuda Berg, Author of The 72 Names of God

“A breakthrough book in terms of realizing your goals and dreams and living a life that is richer, more meaningful and much more enjoyable. And all without having to work so damn hard at it!”

—Robert Kriegel, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author of If It Ain’t Broke—Break It! and How to Succeed in Business Without Having to Work so Damn Hard

“ The Sedona Method is an easy-to-use, practical guide to releasing emotional tension, one of the key steps I recommend in my medical practice for achieving resilience, vitality, and long-term health. This book is a valuable adjunct to every healthcare program.”

—Frank Lipman, M.D., author of Total Renewal

“The Sedona Method taught us to work from our strengths rather than our fears. After learning to release, we have become best-selling authors, lecturers, and spiritual counselors. These were things we could only dream about until the Sedona Method taught us to let go of the blocks we had erected to keep us from our ‘greatness.’ Releasing moved us along our spiritual path faster than any other work we have done. We were fumbling around and the Sedona Method opened the doors to our spiritual work. We believe with all our hearts that if you learn to release ANYTHING is possible.”

—Barbara Mark, and Trudy Griswold, co-authors of The Angelspeake Trilogy and Heaven and Beyond: Conversations with Souls in Transition

“As an author, international speaker, and widow of Earl Nightingale, I have given many years to the pursuit of a method that I might teach, which would enable others to ‘let go’ and live their lives without limitations. While the timeless truth that we become what we think about has revolutionized the lives of millions of people around the world, the majority of people find that old habits die hard. Changing a lifetime of restrictive thinking, more often than not, requires something more. Recently, I discovered a tried-and-true method that can and will work for everyone: the Sedona Method. Now, you can discover it, too!”

—Diana Nightingale, owner, Keys Publishing, international speaker, and author of Learning to Fly as a Nightingale
