Feel it, or observe and let go?
Stay with feeling, focus on the feeling and the feeling of that feeling until it runs out.
Or notice the feeling, observe it from a 3rd person perspective, acknowledge it and shift attention?

I'm not saying I got perfect vision, but the other day I headed to the park for a run, and it was almost as if I was seeing nature for the first time. All the colors were vibrant, and the late afternoon sun was filtering through the trees in interesting ways. Everything was just beautiful....when usually I barely notice it.
I was laid off 6 months ago and for 3 months I have been using the sedona method to achieve this goal of having a job, besides applying, interviewing and so on, and it doesn't seem to land.
I have been releasing emotions, the 3 wants, but somehow these are still there. Also, whenever a rejection comes it hits hard (but lighter than several months ago).
How should one manage this situation from sedona perspective? Any tips? Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thank you
THE LOST VAULT: Massive Archive of the Legendary "Hootless.com" Calls (60+ Rare Audios!)
Hey everyone! 👋
As some of you may know from my previous posts, I’ve been releasing since around 2007. Over the years, I’ve seen so much incredible material surface on the internet only to eventually disappear. Today, I want to share something truly special that has been lost to time—until now.
More than 15 years ago, there was an absolutely amazing Advaita and releasing community called Hootless.com. It was a massive, completely selfless forum where people discussed the Method, Advaita, and specifically the teachings of Lester Levenson.
The crown jewel of this site was their weekly calls.
Every week, they brought in guest speakers, including many of Lester Levenson's direct disciples (many of whom are considered fully realized). The lineup was unbelievable. This pack includes talks from:
Although there were many more calls on the site, I managed to download and save a massive chunk of them before the website sadly closed its doors forever.
This massive pack contains over 60 calls. Every single audio is packed with unique releasing secrets, advanced tips, and profound insights. Personally, I’ve extracted so much incredible value and breakthroughs from these recordings, and I couldn't let them just sit on my hard drive.
To keep the main download link safe and active, I’ve placed the link inside a Pastebin page. Here is how to get your files:
👉 [ THE LOST VAULT: Massive Archive of the Legendary "Hootless.com" Calls (60+ Rare - Pastebin.com ]
This is a literal piece of releasing history. Enjoy the calls, keep letting go, and let me know in the comments which speaker or tip resonated with you the most! Have a great week! ✨
Hi I try to do Sedona for me for my art I want to be good at art and feel bad at art
I do it all and then…. I feel bad at art?
What do I do?
I say I feel bad I want it to look good
Feel it feel the bad
I want to be good
Can I let go ? Will I let go
…::
Then feeling bad more…
When to use it: Whenever you feel "unseated" by negative emotions (like anger or fear), physical pain, or even ego-driven highs (like the pride of winning an argument).
Instead of getting lost in the story of why you are upset, move your attention entirely into your physical body.
Counterintuitively, do not push the feeling away. Pushing it away gives it more energy. Instead, embrace it to create inner spaciousness.
This is the final phase (the "coda"). Do not rush to this step until you have fully welcomed the sensation. Use this specific four-step litany to release the core subconscious programs driving the reaction.
Repeat the following affirmations precisely:
💡 A Crucial Reminder for the Practice: The goal of this practice is not to fix the situation or to forcefully make yourself happy. The goal is to realize that even if this discomfort were to last forever, your core consciousness would be just fine. By letting go of the need to change the situation, you build true equanimity.

I have read letting go by David hawkins and Sedona method and watched all the courses incl the 1992 one but still don't get it.
what is letting go? according to David hawkins it's just staying with the feeling and not doing anything about it.. just let it run it's course. but then comes Sedona method with questions that suggest you could just drop the feeling, lie getting rid of it in an instant???
please anyone who can give me a layman's-kindergarden version of it so I can understand and please with some practical examples.
really appreciate it.
kind regards
Disclaimer:
This is a personal interpretation of the method and might differ from other interpretations available online.
What is letting go?
Letting go is like looking away.
Example: There is an artistic bottle on my desk. I am just constantly looking at it because it's interesting to look at. A friend enters my room and says "Enough admiring dude, could you just let it go?" And you let the bottle be there and take your attention to something else.
How is this letting go beneficial to us?
When you apply this letting go phenomena to your emotions and wants, you experience a deep sense of peace, something that you have been looking for in the external world but never found it there. If you keep doing it, you will realize that it's not just an experience of peace but you are and always have been that peace.
How to let go?
Don't rush to answer, let it come from a place of knowing. Also remember both yes and no are acceptable answers. Just make sure it's a firm yes or firm no. If your answer is "maybe" or "in between", then you are in apathy. Just move up to courageousness and say out loud YES or NO. After answering each question, your job is done. You are not responsible for releasing.
Common trap:
Don't pick up the emotion or want that is already separate from you. Pick up only that feeling which you consider yourself to be as.
Eg: You are with a friend and he said something that made you angry. But you don't want to be angry because it might ruin your friendship. So you try to release the anger, but that's a trap. Here, you are not someone who is angry, you are actually someone who wants to save his friendship or control that anger. So here, the correct thing to release is "wanting to save that friendship" or "wanting to control the anger" and not the anger.
Tips for releasing wants:
What is stuckness?
It's the stuck feeling you get when you're wanting to release and it's not happening.
Why do we get stuck?
When you have released enough to know that it works and has the ability to make you happy, you start wanting to release more than you want imperturbablity. You start looking at releasing like a drug that can make you blissful. But because Want = Lack, the more you want to release the harder it gets.
How to get unstuck?
Let go of wanting to release. But if you are releasing for a long time, you know that there is nothing better than it. You lack the motivation to let go of the "wanting to release".
Where can i get the motivation to let go of the "wanting to release"?
You must want imperturbability more than you want anything else. Don't confuse wanting imperturbability with wanting to release. It will become clear when you ask yourself this question:
Important pointer:
The one that's wanting to release and become free, can never release or get free. Because that character is not you. You are already free. Suffering is the result of believing that you are the character. The character along with the world comes and goes within you.
Additional tip:
Let the body be your anchor. Don't let your mind distract you with thoughts (fake feelings) to release on, instead of the acutally feeling in the body.

Very helpful tip when stuck:
Get in touch with your thoughts and stay in touch. What ever goes through your mind, negative, positive, nuetral, just experience it. Don't try to change or release it. Just stay in touch with your thoughts. Do it the whole time, all day. If you are doing something, don't plan or think how to do it. If you are in this state of mind everything will turn out to be the way you wanted it to be. - A commentator on Sedona method fb group
I've noticed something interesting that I haven't seen mentioned before. Since starting the method just a couple of weeks or so ago I've become more introspective in general. Many times during the day a thought may come up that has a tinge of resentment in it. I say to myself, "Hmm...where is this resentment from?", and the answer seems obvious and true right away, no matter how old it is. It can be anything from parents screeching at me to complete a chore when I was a child, to me getting overly preoccupied with recent world events. A small still voice says, "Oh your ego got that idea as a child", and "Your ego is succumbing to fear mongering." This all happens while I go about my day, and is not part of deliberate release sessions.
I'm thinking it is more of a result of having done release sessions. My subconscious then became more open to revealing the sources of resentments.
Why years of therapy won't cure your guilt (and how to actually drop it).
You’ve probably seen someone in their 80s still agonizing over a mistake they made 60 years ago. You look at them and think, "Why don't they just let it go?"
But we all do it. We get stuck in a loop, endlessly trying to figure out why we feel guilty, hoping that if we analyze it enough, it will vanish.
Here is the hard truth: understanding your guilt will never make it go away. The mind loves untangling balls of yarn, but that just keeps you trapped in your head. If you want to stop playing judge and executioner and actually drop the weight, read on.
The Therapy & Intellect Trap: We treat guilt like a puzzle. We obsess over what we did, what we allowed to happen, or what was done to us.
You can go to psychotherapy for years, endlessly analyzing your entire past or childhood, and still walk out feeling guilty. Why? Because talking to a wall just keeps you stuck in the intellect. Plus, truly dropping your guilt isn't exactly great for the therapy business—if you let it go entirely, the sessions end.
Guilt is just a limiting subconscious program—a feeling, not a fact. And feelings don't need to be analyzed; they just need to be felt and released. You can't think your way out of a feeling.
The Lies Keeping You Stuck: We hold onto guilt because we secretly think it serves us. We believe feeling terrible acts as an invisible shield against future punishment, or that remorse will stop us from repeating a mistake.
It doesn't. Guilt operates like an unconscious IOU. You punish yourself mentally hoping to cancel out a real-world consequence. Instead, you just suffer twice. Guilt doesn't prevent bad behavior; it creates the internal stress that pushes you to repeat the cycle.
It’s Only You in There Right now, nobody is inflicting this feeling on you except yourself. You are the one generating the punishment inside your own mind.
This is actually great news. If you are the one creating it, you have the power to stop it. You have to consciously choose: am I going to keep beating myself up forever, or am I going to love myself? You have to discriminate and decide that you've served your time.
How to Drop It Right Now: Stop trying to push the guilt down. That just anchors it in your subconscious. Instead, use this direct approach:
Hunt It Down (The Systematic Approach): Don't just do this once and forget about it. To get totally free, you have to be systematic.
Don't wait for guilt to hit you randomly. When you are in a high-energy state—like Courage, Acceptance, or Peace (CAP)—use that momentum. Take the time to actively hunt down those lower feelings. Go looking for the guilt you've buried and pull it up on purpose. With the leverage of CAP, you can flush out massive amounts of old garbage effortlessly.
What’s a guilt loop you’ve been caught in? Have you found that analyzing it endlessly ever actually helped you release it, or did it just make the loop stronger?
If we take a particular subject, for example relationships.
Do you have to release wanting approval every step of the way? Going for a date - release wanting approval, going for the second date - release wanting approval and so on. At some point does this wanting approval in this particular subject ever ends?
