Blog: My Assisting the Birth Process.
Posted by David Ellzey on July 24th, 2010
Did I actually help give birth with my hands? Not exactly. Did I contribute to many women giving birth without pain and medicine? I hope so … Read on for how. It’s fairly inspiring and letting go is key …
For thousands of years the female human body has been a vessel for the mystery of creating and birthing an entire human baby. I am awed by this mystery 
and miracle. Since the dawn of medicine, however, there has been movement away from natural childbirth toward using medicine and hospitalization for birth. (Thankfully, in 1957, my mother went against the norm, fought off the doctors, and had me naturally).
Recently I had the joy of sharing the stage at a Hypnobirthing Conference in London with my dear friend, Jenny Mullan, (far right in picture). She is a prominent teacher of Hypnobirthing in the UK. This program assists women to relax and allow the natural ability of their body to give birth with less pain and often no medication, resulting in a more harmonious experience for them AND the baby. Relaxing is the key to allowing the blood, hormones, and chemicals of the body to direct the whole event. When fear enters the scene, blood is sent elsewhere than needed, chemicals can’t help as much to create the looseness of the joints or relaxation of the muscles ~ and the whole process becomes about tension, pain, and control by medicine, rather than fluidity and the beautiful cosmic event that it’s meant to be. The national U.S. average of women giving birth with cesarean section surgery is now 31%, or one in three woman, compared to 4% in 1965.
Marie Mongan (far left in the picture) is the contemporary proponent of hypnobirthing through her book, Hypnobirthing - The Mongan Method and through teaching. She was the honoree at the conference and is a pioneer in reminding us that who we are already has the wisdom to give birth not only to a baby, but to each moment of life itself.
Where does the Sedona Method(R) come in? Jenny is a Sedona Method coach and uses it’s techniques for releasing the fears of her parents-to-be. This helps in preparation for being at peace and open to a marvelous birth. She also shares it with the practitioners she trains to assist parents in the birthing process. She invited me to share the benefits of The Sedona Method with practitioners at this international conference. I was very pleased to do so.
What does birthing have to do with you? Birthing a baby is a metaphor for how you approach each moment of your life - either tight and contracted or loose and open. The truth of who you are - beyond the body - is unlimited in its ability to harmoniously handle each unfolding moment with ease. But just like in the birth process, if you are contracted inside emotionally and physically, each unfolding moment of life will have more pain than beauty. Resistance, fear, and contraction, guarantee suffering. Letting go is the greatest key.
If it’s hard for you to believe that life can be beautiful or fulfilling, just notice where these doubts come from. Were they there when you came out of the womb or did you pick them up along the way? If you don’t go into memory, are those doubts actually here in this moment ~ or is there perhaps more space here for new possibilities - if you don’t hold onto the past?
To let go of fear is to live life in a new way. Thousands across this globe are able to do that because of The Sedona Method. Click on the Calendar link above for when and where you can learn to let go of your fear, anxiety, and any feeling that hinders you living life to its fullest birth every moment.
I look forward to personally meeting you or seeing you again soon and helping you give birth to a tremendous life.

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.
See you there!

Blog: Lester Meets Deepak.Two Masters. Same Message.
Posted by David Ellzey on February 17th, 2010
Written at 24,000 feet in the air on my way to Phoenix, for Journey Into Healing.
Since I was first introduced to The Sedona Method in 1987 I have been moved by Lester Levenson’s (The creator of this Method) message: We are unlimited beings, limited only by the concepts of limitation that we hold in mind. As I now teach this message and this technique for swiftly quieting the noisy mind around the world I’ve had the pleasure of seeing its transformative power.
As I have gotten to know more about Dr. Deepak Chopra, co-contributing to an upcoming book with him, (Stepping Stones to Success) and reading his teachings on consciousness, I see the perfect symmetry of his message with Lester’s.
In fact, it is the same message: We are a local expression of infinite existence. Our happiness and health is impacted by either focusing on our mind’s endless thoughts of limitations ~ or focusing on the unlimited background upon which all thoughts rise. This background is our essential nature, unlimited and pristine.
I am so inspired by this truth and by Dr. Chopra’s way of integrating science, medicine, and spirituality , that I will study with him and his co-founder of the Chopra Wellness Center, Dr. David Simon, for the next five days in Phoenix. The program is called Journey Into Healing and is a foundation for understanding the 5,000 year old healing approach of Ayerveda, the way to health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit. The week will include training in Ayerveda, as well as yoga and meditation. Not to mention exploring the realization that we are infinite in our essential nature.
Regarding your own life, when you feel the confines of what your mind is creating about an issue, experiment with the possibility that your mind is not the final authority, you are. When feelings arise with that issue, consider the option of letting the feelings go and moving on with a more rewarding life. If you wonder how this is possible: The Sedona Method is the quick and easy “how to”. See the Calendar link above for upcoming events so you can transform your life with more happiness, starting now. (April 10-11 is upcoming in New York City)
Meanwhile, as the pilot announces our landing, I anticipate seeing the perfect synergy of Lester and Deepak ~ and dancing in the beauty of the one truth we are all learning to celebrate. The unlimited nature of our true being. What sweet freedom.
Don’t’ forget to check the calendar for upcoming basic and advanced events ~ if you are new to The Sedona Method or a graduate of this life-changing work.
Stay tuned. I’ll have more reports for you in the next five days.
My greatest love,
For your freedom,

Blog: Is Beauty or Suffering Your Homebase?
Posted by David Ellzey on May 8th, 2009
I was recently teaching The Sedona Method Coach Training in Holland. Afterwards, while exploring the
city and the tulips in the countryside, I was reminded of the magnificence that exists in color, shape, and life. I also live in New York City and am reminded of how when we forget nature, we suffer ~ we feel a disconnection with ourselves and life. Indeed, we are nature too ~ expressed in human form.
If emotions are feeling overwhelming, one suggestion, in addition to attending one of our free introduction evenings, is to find some air you feel nourishes you. Get to some form of nature to remind you of your larger connection to existence and the universe.
Don’t postpone this self-loving step. Take a moment to plan it now. Then look at the "Free Evening" link above and mark your calendar for the next Free Introductory Evening, or register for the next full Sedona Method weekend. Life is too short to postpone knowing outer and inner beauty any longer.
Here’s to your greatest happiness and success,

My testimonial folder is overflowing. Read how you can let go of anxiety, addictions, manage anger, dissolve grief and depression ~ regarding war, cancer, and more. People just like you. Inspiring stuff!
"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
