SEDONA, THE EASIEST TOOL FOR RELEASING EMOTIONAL ISSUES
Here's another really easy-to-use-tool, for your bag of mind tricks to release past and present emotional issues, that can harm the body as well as the mind.
I use Sedona technique when I am doing a hypnosis session. it is great along with NLP and EFT.
This technique is so simplistic that one may miss the power it has for change.
Eg: Suppose the client's problem is anger over some injustice they claim to be a victim of.
First, I ask my client to open his hand palm up, I place a pen or pencil in their hand.
I tell them to imagine this pen is the anger and resentment of their unjust treatment. I ask them to tighten their fist around the pen.
I then talk to them, asking them how do they react when they think the thought , "I am unjustly treated.?" They usually say they feel helpless, angry, indignant etc. lots of negative adjectives. I ask, what would happen if they were free of all resentment? Who would they be, hen they are free of this?
They might say, "I'd be free to enjoy life more, I would be happier, I would be powerful,etc."
I then remind them that the pen in their hand is so used to being clutched tightly by them that it feels like its a part of their body, isn't that true? They say yes, I have felt this for so long it seems like it is me. I say to them, they are powerful, they have been given a gift from God, called, free will !
I ask them, "can you release your anger and frustration?" They usually say 'yes,'
"Will you release it?" they answer 'yes'.
I ask "when" They are a bit hesitant, but they usually say, "right now."
I encourage them to open their hand and drop the pen.
That is how easy it is to do Sedona.
Use this in conjunction with other techniques or alone.
It appeals to people's common sense.
If you remember to take a measure of how stressed they feel at the beginning of the session about anything they are dealing with..for eg: is this stressful state a 9 out of 10,10 being the worst? Or is it a 5? Then at the end of any session get the number they feel it is now. Most say it has no impact, it is a 1 or 2 or maybe even a 0.
