Sedona Method Scam
I finally bought the Sedona Method course, having heard several good reports about it, but then life happened and it was forgotten in a drawer for a couple of months. When I made the decision to begin to work with it, for no particular reason, I Googled sedona method.
One of Googles suggestions was ‘the sedona method scam’. I had glanced at the course material and it was pretty much what I had expected. I couldn’t resist checking out what people were complaining about.
I visited several forums and read some of the threads attacking sedona and other programs. My first impression was that these people seem to have some extreme views about programs they don’t appear to have used.
Someone said that the layout of the sedona.com website made it obvious that it was a scam. He didn’t even mention what was written on the site. Not having achieved a state of serenity yet, I had to leave. These people make me so angry.
The tag line for the sedona method course is, ‘Your key to lasting happiness, success, peace and emotional well-being’. I admit that maybe that sounds a little hypey. But I don’t think that it promises miracles either.
Nothing that I have read or heard so far, tells me that just listening to the first CD of the course will cause a truckload of gold to be deposited on my driveway. I am not looking for that anyway.
The problem is that many people are. They are constantly on the lookout for some magic system that will give them everything they want, with little or no effort. They constantly hop from one thing to another, do nothing with it and call it a scam when they get no results.
Finally, they end up on forums, whining about life not being fair and complaining about things that they haven’t even tried and people they have had no contact with. They would probably still give you their cow for some magic beans though. I have no time for these people and no interest in their views.
I intend to work through the course with an open mind and see where it leads. One thing that is emphasized early on is that you are not expected to take anything on trust. You are asked not to believe anything unless you can prove it for yourself.
That seems entirely reasonable to me and not some kind of double bluff to get me to believe anything that ‘they’ want me to. It was my decision to buy the course and it is up to me to make use of it. So far, I do not feel scammed.
See if you think that the Sedona Method website screams scam.
Maybe if the Sedona Method was complicated it would be more believable for these people. Perhaps anything this simple must be a scam.

Comments on Sedona Method Scam
I just wanted to add that from my experience with The Sedona Method I do not find it to be a scam. Although still somewhat expensive it is far cheaper for both the seminars and materials than some other people in the Self-Help/Positive Thinking movement like Tony Robbins or Jack Canfield. And honestly, you could buy the $12.95 book and have everything you need.
Also the program and seminars have effects that exceed the material success that attracts many people to it. I have experienced much positive change in my attitude and have seen profound change in others lives for the better.
That being said, The Sedona Method doesn’t seem to be for everyone and there are many people that are resistant to the idea that you can just let go of your negative emotions and be happy. So it’s okay if they want to believe it to be a scam and I wish them luck anyway. Also good luck to you and I hope you find it to be effective for you.
I can’t remember who said, “It’s too simple. If it was complicated, everybody would understand it”.
He wasn’t talking about the Sedona Method but he might have been.
It is a big thing to accept responsibility for your feelings, and that you can change them in an instant.

A friend of mine has this that he ordered. I suppose those that are seeking different Spiritual Aspects in dealing with issues is what we are on our journey to do. I have been checking out his footsteps and seeing where they lead. They must lead somewhere because he just celebrated 10 years of being Sober! Good article thanks!

I find the method to be very powerful and use it daily to get through difficult emotional situations. I have changed immensely in the last two years and I attribute the energy to enacting these changes due to new thought processes and increased control of my feelings.
But it is a lot of work, especially at the beginning.
I’ve found the Sedona Method is extremely practical and useful- and even if someone thinks it’s total BS, it’s hard to call it a scam when they lay out the whole deal in a book you can buy on amazon for like, less than $15- everything is in there and it doesn’t spend half the pages recommending you buy their CDs, etc.
There are, as always, a lot of major claims about giant topics but I’ve found it to be very useful on just a very practical, getting stuff done level- I mentioned it in a video on the site here in my comment. I’m not affiliated with them in any way.
