Video Blog: How do you “Let emotions go?”
Posted by David Ellzey on June 1st, 2010
Do you ever feel like your emotions negatively drive your experience of life?
Do you feel powerless over them at times ~ or often?
Watch this video for a way to live free of anxiety …
(Please turn on your speakers and join me in Tuscany, Italy)
When Lester Levenson, the creator of The Sedona Method, was given a few weeks to live from a second heart attack, he found a lifetime of suppressed emotions stored inside himself. Medical research now shows emotions can drastically impact our health. Lester released the emotions, his body healed, and he lived another forty two years with a deep unlimited sense of being.
FIND OUT HOW. Click on the Calendar link above for the next Sedona Method Course where you, too, can learn to easily release emotions that hinder your health, well being, success, and happiness.

Blog: Lester Meets Deepak. Part 2. The Infinite You.
Posted by David Ellzey on February 21st, 2010
Read on for how timeless truths can improve your daily life starting
right now as you read this.
I just finished Journey into Healing here in Phoenix, AZ, at the Biltmore Hotel, beautifully designed by Frank 
Lloyd Wright. The live program was given by The Chopra Center for Well-Being. Studying with Dr. Deepak Chopra and his co-founder, Dr. David Simon, confirmed for me that the timeless truth of our unlimited nature that Lester Levenson, the creator of The Sedona Method, pointed us toward has been known for thousands of years.
In this program we learned of how it was eloquently and poetically spoken of in the ancient Indian Vedic scriptures (eastern scriptures exploring how the human soul is an individual expression of the Infinite - and how to awaken to that inner truth).
As dear Lester counseled us, there is no separation between us and the cosmos or God, only an appearance of it. We are all expressions of what can be called in quantum physics - an infinite field of possibilities, as are the waves of the ocean. The waves remain an expression of the one ocean with an appearance of individuality. Lester was so clear in helping us let go of this egoic sense of separation. I believe this technique of The Sedona Method - used for letting go of the ego and all its suffering - is unparalleled in its simplicity.
Studying mime with a Kaballah Master (the mystic tradition of Judaism) at age seventeen, I was introduced to the idea that in space, both inner and outer, there exists an invisible and infinite potential of possibilities. We know in physics that there is no final ending or beginning to anything in existence. Life is better explained as an unending river of events appearing in time and space, yet originating from that which is timeless and infinite. In fact, let’s apply this to your emotional well being. If you want to feel free of your emotional turmoil easily and quickly, let’s try something …
Decide on a feeling that has hindered your happiness. Right now, I recommend you think of it now. Next, do me a favor and see if you can find where the absolute boundaries of the feeling are. Usually we can say its in the gut, or chest or neck, but really - check. Can you find the actual boundaries or does it seem that its energy bleeds into the area around it? Is it possible that your mind or memory is keeping it in place or appearing real by perceiving a fixed location? Let’s experiment. Quiet your mind for a nanosecond and open yourself to the possiblity that without the boundaries the feeling has the freedom to disappate or transform. What happens? Take your time. Try it….Open to this possibility. Go slow. Pause and breathe. Is there a shift, disappearance, or at least a bit of hope?
The Sedona Method brilliantly helps guide your attention to see that all feelings and thoughts are simply energy that can be allowed to dissolve, leaving inner peace, courage, and the deepest love. If you have ANY place in your life that is not as joyful or loving as you wish, whether in your relationships, at work, regarding the body, or money, you can dissolve your anxiety and other feelings and reveal the inherent stillness and wisdom which is your essential nature underlying all feelings. Stillness and wisdom are attributes of your boundless nature, the infinite you.
I can’t stress enough how essential a skill like this can be in daily life, especially in these times. With my heart, I highly suggest you check your calendar and move whatever you have to, to be able to attend the upcoming Sedona Method course here in NYC, April 10-11. If you are overseas, go to the Calendar link above and look at the upcoming dates in Scotland, England, and Holland in April and May. As a graduate, I recommend you rearrange your calendar to be sure to get to the advanced course, Effortless Relationships, to transform all your relationships and the one most importantly to yourself. Could you love yourself more? If so, do all you can to be at this course in New York on March 6-7 or in Holland, May 7-9.
So, my friends around this spinning planet, I send you my greatest care and good wishes. I very much hope to have the opportunity to support you in finding how a magnificent life is yours for the having.
For your freedom,
Blog: Two Days to Be Free of Stress
Posted by David Ellzey on September 9th, 2009
This is a beacon sent out from my little apartment in the upper east side of this city of 8 million souls ~ New York. Wherever 
you are sitting reading this, take this very moment, yes this one, and pause. Can you? Can you stop and breathe? Good. Because I want you fully present for this message. On Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13, I and about 30 other souls here in this metropolis gathered to ask a profound question, " Do we need to suffer as humans, in order to live on this planet?" and "How quickly can we change from suffering to contentment: 60 seconds, an hour, a lifetime?"
Well, I offer that one can know their unlimited nature in a few seconds, although it can take a while as well. The task is to have a powerful tool to unveil it. On September 12 and 13, thirty souls learned this ability. Are you ready for this lifetime to finally be yours? Come join us and learn The Sedona Method and change your life with power and with peace.
Mark your calendar for the next Sedona Method Course here in New York City on February 13-14, 2010.
Come back within this week and register to grab your spot.
See you there!
For your greatest happiness,
Blog: Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield, and Me.
Posted by David Ellzey on August 4th, 2009
There I am, in the Salt Lake City Convention Center lobby after Deepak Chopra spoke inspiringly at 
a conference. I get a call on my cell phone. The person on the other end asked, "Would you like to contribute to a book with Deepak Chopra and Jack Canfield?".
I, too, have hopes and dreams. One is to work with Deepak Chopra and others devoted to raising the consciousness of this planet. Lately, as I more fully invest my heart in doing what I love ~ supporting others to know their unlimited nature, some exciting dreams are coming true for me. Coincidence? Don’t think so.
The more I step forward from hiding behind any remaining sense of "Not good enough" or "They’ll find out I’m a fake", and live my life more fully without shame or apology, the more effortlessly these "events" and the people who can support me are showing up. However, this takes letting go of the disempowered "poor me" and "victim" orientation. That orientation means you give the world your own power to create your own life - so you end up waiting for a better life until your day of death - disappointed and feeling powerless.
Letting go of this powerless "poor me" orientation can be scary, because then you are actually responsible for your own life. But this is where the fun begins! Now you can actually let youself create and have that which brings you joy.
Do you wish to be free of your fear and feeling powerless? It is entirely possible. Jan Nolte of New York, after learning The Sedona Method, said, "Divorce, parenting issues, war, the market fluctuations are all happening, but by using The Sedona Method … I remain clear-minded and at ease. This is radical and wonderful."
Click on the Calendar link above and find out where and when you can learn - or strengthen - your ability to dissolve any sense of powerlessness and the emotions that come with it. Find the YOU that lives unbridled with joy and in courageous action.
Oh! I almost forgot! The book is called, "Stepping Stones to Success" and will be out at the end of the year. I’ll keep you posted on how you can get your copy!
With all my heart, I hope to see you at the next Sedona Method basic (Sept. 12-13) or advanced course. Take action now and move from hiding behind anything ~ to create a greater life. Click here.
With Greatest Love and freedom,
PS I love hearing your thoughts and comments. Please let me know if this had value for you or how it could have more. On the comment page, it looks public, but I am the only one who sees them AND will love reading them. So tell me!
Today’s Blog: Effortless Enlightenment?

Today’s blog: You, Me, and Deepak Chopra
Posted by David Ellzey on April 12th, 2009
What drives us to weather challenging times like these? For example, yesterday, in a groggy state, after three hours of sleep the night before, I had the crazy impulse to go for a session of meditation and yoga at the Chopra Center and Spa at Dream, in Manhattan. As you can see, my cheeks are a bit rosy as a result. It felt wonderful.
Recently I heard Dr. Deepak Chopra say, "We are microcosms of the infinite intelligence of the universe". He expresses health as, "The ecstatic, evolutionary, impulse of the universe; A higher state of conciousness in which you spontaneously make choices that bring joy to you, but also to others in the world". Later in the day, my friends were, I’m sure, joyful that I wasn’t as grumpy as I might have been.
So on this day, take a moment and folllow that ecstatic, evolutionary, impulse which knows exactly what you need for your well being and joy. Right now, in this very moment, let go of holding back this impulse and spontaneously choose something that expresses your joy. I mean right now. No joke. I mean when you finish reading this. This impulse is beating your heart. It must know something. This is a life skill. Don’t wait for someone else to save you from your own indecision. Go for it.
So in advance, congratulations! And while you’re at it, why not decide what you will do for your joy tomorrow? Do something radical. Actually make a choice that fills your heart.
Thanks Dr. Chopra and thanks to the evolutionary impulse of this amazing universe that expresses through - and as - each of us.
For your greatest health and happiness,
PS. For you graduates of The Sedona Method, keep your eyes peeled for the "Your Moment" from the Chopra Center on Wednesday,

Blog: The Conclusion. How this dying teen lived on …
Posted by David Ellzey on March 11th, 2009
In this blog, I read aloud the conclusion of this inspiring story which I had published in the great book, Audacious Creativity. In his final breaths, this great young teen, taught me how to avoid suffering and live fully each moment. I included both parts below if you wish to listen to the whole story. (13 minutes in total).
Many of you know that I tour hospitals as a clown doctor using humor as medicine. This story is one experience as Dr. Spaghetti. Part Two picks up after we’ve been invited by Solomon to visit his room in his last moments to sing his favorite song. (If you haven’t ordered the book, please do! It is rising up the Amazon bestseller list and your purchase will help).

"Divorce, parenting issues, war, the market fluctuations are all happening, but by using the Sedona Method and the support you have provided, I am still at ease. This is radical and wonderful."
Jan Nolte, Upstate New York
"It is an honor for me to share about my bout with cancer. I decided to call Maarten to have him talk me through releasing…The result was amazing. The pain was more manageable. After a few hours the nurses took away the device that I was no longer using to give myself morphine. We are looking forward to you coming back."
Bela Hetvany, Southern France
From Isreal during the war
"It was during the war in Israel. I came to the course and I was full with anxiety and a feeling of nonsafety, because I also lost my job because of the situation.
During the training I was releasing with David twice. It took me 30 minutes to let my deep anxiety go … And now, almost a month after that, I realize that it is gone forever. I’m full with energy, happy, creative. I feel calm and safe like I never was.
I was suffering from severe back problems, which were connected to my feeling of being unsafe. And they just left, that simple! I’m strong, erect and I exercise again. I also stopped drinking coffee and eating chocolate. I wanted to stop, but could not do so. And they also just left me, gone, dropped away. I didn’t do anything. I don’t need it any more.
I know who I am now, more then ever. I get myself, at last. I am happy. Thank you soooooooooo much, blessed David."
Shoval Aloni, Isreal
