Kimberly Picard - The Sedona Tools

The Sedona Tools - Innovative Emotional Processing. Presented by Kimberly Picard. If everything is energy, then so is your heart. A unique and wondrous energy system in partnership with the others- your body and mind. Feelings and emotions are its energetic expression and subject to the principles of energy. If traumatic experience is not dealt with at the time, the effects are stored by the system. Just like your body stores excess calories and your mind stores information. This pent-up emotional energy disrupts inner harmony and your daily life. These easy to learn Tools are emotion-based and experiential. They work within the system as the energetic antithesis to traumatic events. Powered by your intent and creative visualization, you can release and resolve the past, move more gracefully through the present and attract the future you wish. From true inner harmony. You may attend this presentation on any of the dates listed below. For more information, call Kim at 928-282-2502 or visit www.thesedonatools.com.

The Sedona Tools Innovations:

Fight Fire with Fire: The Tools are emotion-based and experiential. Crafted to be the energetic antithesis to traumatic events. As such, they offer the most efficient and effective way to work through them.

Not Your Typical Guided Meditation: Taught in a guided meditation format, once learned (and they are easy to learn) you are meant to be your own guide. They become your Tools. Putting you in charge of your emotional well-being. You can then use them anytime, almost anywhere and in response to your emotion.

Your Creative Visualization Keeps the Work Progressive: Each Tool is an interactive and creative visualization. You are, of course, free to personalize them anyway you wish but they readily adapt to you. This adds deeper meaning and insight to your work.

Powered by Your Intent: The Sedona Tools are powered by your intent. You set your intent at the beginning of each, each and every time you work. Affirming that you are in charge of your emotional well-being.

Work with the Present or the Past: Disruptive emotion in the moment is easy to feel and the Tools readily work with this energy But remember: any unresolved or unreleased emotion from past trauma is still carried within creating and attracting what it wishes. Even if you can't readily feel it! The Tools also work with this energy.

The Eight Tools:

Four of the tools work to release or move through your reaction to events...that often overwhelming flood of...

Shame: Believing you are less than...
Fear: Believing you can't do it.
Rage: Believing others can do it.
Guilt: Believing your behavior was less than...

Another four tools work to resolve the impact of events on your heart, soul, spirit, emotional body, chakras...call it what you will...

Heal the wound
Let go of Attachments
Undo the emotion tied to Obsolete Belief
Silence the inner voice of Judgment, especially Self-Judgment

Our modern society certainly values intellectual mastery and deservedly so for with out it, we would not be meeting here. But at the same time, what I will call emotional mastery seems less valued.

Sometimes this is quite public like in the case of the former President who was compelled to have extra-marital sex in the oval office. Most times, much more private. Like in my case, for example, where exceptional education and career achievement was behind the scenes riddled with alcohol abuse (my ex’s) and depression (mine.) And while I couldn’t do much about the former, I could and in fact, it was my responsibility to deal with the latter.

My personal quest took me down both conventional and unconventional avenues. The conventional- modern psychology- helped to a certain point. It helped to talk to a mature, neutral party. I did become clear about my feelings in the moment and the medication helped me to take certain action based on those feelings. But neither assisted with the years of accumulated emotion pent up inside me. Nor taught me any way of coping with future traumatic experience. To prevent the same old cycle from repeating itself. And I'm sorry but manipulating brain chemistry is not an acceptable long-term solution especially for someone also on a spiritual path.

Here is where my forays into the unconventional proved more successful. I started reading books and attending various classes and seminars. Some resonated more than others I was particularly drawn to trance channeling- both group sessions and one on one conversations with non-physical teachers through full trance channels.

More talking, yes, but amazingly succinct, openly loving and also… way beyond talking for I was introduced to practical concepts and began to feel for the first time the first inklings of empowerment. Power within me, within us all, to take charge of our emotional well-being. To cope more gracefully with the present and to work to release and resolve the past. To work consciously and appropriately towards my goals. With the help of the right Tools, of course!

The Sedona Tools are based in part on my personal work through trance channels
