We All Want Happiness

Anyone who says being happy, really happy, is not at the top of their list og goals is just being dishonest. We all want happiness. It’s human nature.
Now, finding happiness, feeling happy, those are more illusive concepts. Sometimes you have to work at it. I like to use the example of actress Mariel Hemingway. She admits that depression runs in her family. Her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, was notoriously downcast, was diagnosed as manic depressive and in the end, he took his own life. Other members of the Hemingway clan also took their own lives: Mariel’s great-grandfather, two of Ernest’s siblings, and Mariel’s sister Margaux.
Despite all of that, Mariel says she avoids the depression that plagued her family by using the Sedona Method. In “Happy for No Reason” by Marci Shimoff, Mariel talks about overcoming “Hemingway curse”. If you think about it, overcoming such a long history of unhappiness is no small feat.
The Sedona Method is a self-help technique that centers on letting go of thoughts and feelings that are causing you to be unhappy. You focus on the ability to let the thoughts go and learn how to give them over to the moment by tuning into concepts like beingness presence awareness. It is often favorably compared to the popular Release Technique.
You can learn more about the Sedona Method by requesting a free DVD or CD.
