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,

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).

Blog: Is This Technique For Real? Read Their Lips …
Posted by David Ellzey on February 11th, 2009
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

How to Survive the New Year and These Times of Change:
Posted by David Ellzey on January 2nd, 2009
From 30,000 feet somewhere over New Mexico.
As the New Year comes, how do we gracefully complete and move on from one 
moment to the next, or to the next day, year, relationship, or job? Mastering change takes courage and an inner conviction to live a joyful life.
With the nearly zero degree weather and my special family holidays fading behind me in Chicago, I approach what’s next for me, teaching in Sedona, AZ. I sit in this back row seat on the plane and move on to what’s next – as all of us have done since we first traveled that long journey from the comfortable yet enclosed womb to this unlimited world outside of our mother’s belly.
Change of any sort can cause minor to major anxiety. Have you ever noticed that change often occurs – then after, we suffer. Or we suffer as we anticipate change. Sometimes the change has already taken place and the degree of suffering we feel is based largely on our longing for what was. This longing or holding onto what used to be is a kind of self-imposed hell we devise for ourselves.
I am not saying change is not challenging, I have lived through my own hellish journeys in my time. What I am saying is that our speed of transition is largely determined by the feelings we feel. More importantly, it is essential to know that feelings can easily be let go of and replaced with a deeper calm and peace, even during these rare times of global and personal change.
Lester Levenson, who created the Sedona Method, predicted these times and heartfully urged us to know who we truly are in order to make it through these days with courage and inner peace. He spoke of who we are beyond our emotional response. He was inviting you and me to let go of holding onto our rollercoaster of emotions and discover the unlimited, capable, peaceful soul that is beneath them ~ in essence, our true nature.
This may seem easier said than done. Yet, thousands worldwide continue to practice letting go through The Sedona Method and living more fulfilling lives. If you’d like to learn to let go easily and live a happier life in all circumstances, register now for a simple two day semimar that can change your life forever. See the Calendar link above for upcoming dates. If you are already a graduate, register for the advanced courses and experience a new level of ease and freedom in every area of your life, even that area that triggers your emotions the most. There is no limit to your freedom.
I look forward to seeing you face to face and supporting you in having a tremendous life.
Don’t postpone this opportunity. The door is open to your inner happiness. Just walk in.
For your freedom,

Progress Report: Time for yourself. How’s it going?
Posted by David Ellzey on December 23rd, 2008
As promised, here’s my update on how I’m doing with taking time for myself during the holidays with my family in Chicago. And you?
Let me know below, where it says "no comments", if you have taken a moment for yourself this season and how it went. (The pictures included are examples of colorful decorations in the Chicago area … in our 3 degree weather)
The Report: Okay, my eyelids were drooping mid afternoon from lots of great food and late night conversations. It felt a little awkward to leave the group, but I said to my mom and sister, "Excuse me, but I need to rest my eyes for a bit," and set off to lay down for 30 minutes. I awoke able to take better part in the conversations. If you have family, kids, or other responsibilities, you still get to say, "I need to take a brief break …". Then take it.
The reason for this conversation about taking time for ourselves is not a superficial one. Many of us are good at caring for others, or focusing on everyone else but ourselves. This can be for numerous reasons, but the net result is a type of lie. We serve others as if being cared for is important, yet we don’t live that truth for ourselves. When you care for yourself, or love yourself enough to take a break, a walk, go to the gym, take a nap, a hot bath, or any other form of self care, you are saying you are worthy of love too. From this place you can actually care more full-heartedly for others.
Sometimes this requires that you let go of an old work ethic like, "life must be hard", and "others come before myself", etc. So I offer a suggestion; In the next day or couple of weeks, you promise yourself before you click off this page, that you will do something that would feel self-loving. Decide what it is and do it. Maybe more than once! (Be radical!)
If you can do this, I bet that your quality of life will rise a notch and your January will be a lot easier because you did some self care during the previous weeks of this season. But dont let me put words in your mouth. Give me a report in the comments below. (Where it says "no comment". Your comments are only seen by me, even though it looks like they are public)
Enjoy your time off, regardless of the length!
Here’s to your well being and happy holidays,
